As described by Wittenden, below. This was one of the better pubs we visited this time around, receiving as we did a friendly welcome and some decent beer. The barmaid looked a bit fierce but was really friendly once we got to know her, while one of the barboys was just creepy. The atmosphere was convivial, the locals were welcoming and it was pleasantly devoid of grockles. The one real ale on was Pearson’s Arms Ale (brewed by Sharp’s) which was very good indeed. Inch’s Cider was also on draft. Craft beers were Lagunitas Daytime Session IPA and Brixton IPA. The megakeg selection included Red Stripe, which did seem a bit out of place. I’d be very happy to come back here and include it in a crawl.

Attractive white weatherboarded timber framed pub by the beach in the Horsebridge area of Whitstable.Inside, a bit soulless and barlike, with a central fireplace and a peculiar vault area. Upstairs, above the kitchen, a pleasant zone laid up for dining, with iconic views over the oyster beds and the distant mirage-like vista of the Isle of Sheppey and Essex.
On our visit on a Thursday lunchtime in the dead zone between Christmas and New Year, the pub was humming with diners and drinkers.The beer range was rather limited-Gadds' Little Cracker, which while not my type of beer was on cracking seasonal form, together with Oliver's Island from Fullers, and something red from Jennings.As we were in Whitstable, I allowed myself some craft keg in the for of AHDE ME from Angels and Demons,which was surprisingly good and gass free.
A Whitstable take on the gastropub.OK.

£2 for half a pint of Gadds Summer's Day.This is much extraction of the urine.
