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.

Loved the food, our American family member thought all the BBQ tasted very authentic! We particularly liked the pork belly starter, and the King Sharer with a taste of everything really was amazing.
