A fun and very delicious dining experience! We loved the food and thought the concept of sharing dishes was very different and such a refreshing change to the norm. We were in Whitstable for the weekend from Hampshire and it's a shame you're not closer.......the staff were brilliant and enthusiastic too.....one day we hope to return.....Good luck to you all 😊🥂

We loved all the food. Sharing plates is our favourite. The lobster and prawn aranchi was delicious. The buffalo mozzarella was really creamy and yummy and the chips with truffle and Parmesan are to die for.
