Harden's survey result
Summary
Operated by the Whitstable Oyster Company, this shack tucked away at the end of the harbour serves oysters from the beds visible at low tide from its terrace, as well as lobsters and fish from the nearby waters. “We’re lucky to have such a place for fresh quality fish on our doorstep”.
Summary
“Amazingly priced lobsters” and other “beautifully cooked fresh seafood” are consumed in a “perfect setting” at this shack at the far end of the harbour, operated by the Whitstable Oyster Company, which farms oysters and catches native lobsters in season from its own boats in the waters in front of you. There’s an “amazing atmosphere” – and a wood-burning stove for meals inside during colder months.
Summary
“Excellent fish and oysters, eaten outside overlooking the water” is your reward for locating this hard-to-find spot at the far end of the harbour. It is operated by the Whitstable Oyster Company, which farms and harvests oysters and brews its own oyster stout to complement the taste.
For 33 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).
