Whitstable Harbour

Highlight • Structure

There is a lovely little market at Whitstable Harbour. It has expanded enormously over the years and now has some really excellent, trendy restaurants as well as arts and crafts stalls where you can find some gems. There are also a number of very cheap stalls selling fresh fish and takeaway food just outside the market itself.

The Forge Fish and Chips & Oyster Shack

Highlight • Cafe

Located right on Whitstable's beautiful seafront promenade, The Forge is so popular with locals that a long queue often snakes around the corner. Far from being your average restaurant, The Forge boasts a unique charm. Situated directly on the seawall, just a stone's throw from the water, it serves some of the freshest seafood in Whitstable, with a special focus on oysters, proudly presented on a bed of ice. If you're looking for a quick and delicious meal in Whitstable while enjoying the sea air, The Forge is the place to go.

The Forge is essentially a painted wooden shed where you order and, once your food is ready, you can either take a seat at one of the few tables and chairs outside or settle down right on the beach to enjoy the fresh seafood.

(squermeal)

Drizzle the oysters with onion vinegar broth, Tabasco, and lemon juice 😉.
