Harden's survey result
Summary
“Nothing changes here, but in a good way” at this “relaxed and relaxing” out-of-town spot with “wonderful views out to the sea”, serving “lovely fresh fish and great tapas dishes” – “who could ask for more?”. A 2021 crowdfunder to buy the freehold attracted support from a foodie A-list including chef Tom Kerridge, writers Nigella Lawson and Jay Rayner, and Madness frontman Suggs.
Summary
Serving up “superb Spanish/Moroccan/Middle Eastern food”, this is a “relaxed and unfussy” local “yet you know you are being cooked for in a very serious way” (not least when you opt for the “first-class” fish). “The location overlooking the sea is the final piece in what’s a truly excellent, brilliantly run restaurant” (and “a haven away from the teeming Whitstable a mile away”!).
Summary
A “favourite” among locals for its “amazing Mediterranean tapas and super views”, this appealing little venue at the Tankerton end of Whitstable has “great food and atmos, with a laid-back seaside vibe”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
