    A great addition to the Whitstable food scene. Predominantly seafood sharing plates, all of those we tried we would gladly have again. I particularly enjoyed the chargrilled prawns served with a masala sauce which needs to be bottled and sold everywhere. Didn’t have room for the lobster bisque this time but will return as soon as we can to try it.

    Amazing food yet again at the king's Arms. Best starter, Crispy pork bites with sweet and hot sauce, followed by the best liver and bacon I have ever eaten. Delicious raspberry cheesecake for desert. The presentation is detailed and superb. Service was excellent, smooth, friendly and super efficient. We both felt that for such brilliant, quality food and a great all round experience, the price was excellent! Many, many thanks.

    What a beautiful place and a fancy menu that actually tastes good! This is the second time I have been to the Fordwich Arms and both times the food and the service have been second to none. You can get a beautiful fine dining type experience for £250 (including a couple of drinks) that rivals some of the top London restaurants. FIVE STARS

    A fantastic evening and fabulous food and the night was made even better with Aaron (Manager), his Mum and partner and most other diners who just wanted to have a party and a sing-a-long! Just fabulous! ;-)
