This is the best fish restaurant that I have ever visited, with a menu full of fish not steak or pie....except fish pie. A great service and quality fish cooked to perfection, octopus is going on the menu. It's a 50 minute journey for us but I am already planning a return. You will not be disappointed. There is a wet fish counter under the restaurant again, best quality fish.

Booked a table last Friday at 8pm, arrived at 8:08 due to me limping with a leg in a cast and were rudely refused entry. Their response to my tripadvisor review was they have \Rules\ and it was \tough\ that they wouldn't let us in and said we \had 8 hours to visit between 12 and 8\. An interesting approach to hospitality management. I would suggest they explain the \Rules\ when you book if they are so strict and why accept a booking for 8pm if that is when they are waiting by the door to lock it?! I'm sure the view is nice but I'd rather support the many local business with better customer service in these times.
We enjoyed a leisurely lunch at the Crab and Winkle on a blustery and bracing Sunday afternoon. We arrived without a reservation but they were able to accommodate my party of three. After signing in our contact details in line with current COVID guidelines. We were shown to our booth by the very friendly staff. The staff were well catered for in terms of Covid PPE and the face screens they used made for good communication and eye contact. The menu was good and we decided to enjoy a lovely Gavi Di Gavi while we perused the menu. We selected the Mussels as a starter along with the Seafood platter Selection. These where delivered promptly, fresh and very tasty. Special mention for the very good Olive bread too. For our mains we all had the Bouillabaisse which was very good, plentiful and arrived hot. My only complaint would be the langoustines which were very small and not pre dressed so we found quite fiddly to get at the meat. The finger bowls provided were therefore very handy. However the whole Bouillabaisse was very good and portions of the ingredients were large and plentiful. Once again the olive bread was excellent with the soup. We also enjoyed a portion of chips and a portion of the Samphire which were very good too. We then enjoyed the Cream Brulee along and the Chocolate Box and Ice cream as our choice of desserts. Both were very good and especially the Chocolate Box which was excellent. We finally finished our meal with Coffee, an Expresso and a nice Cognac. The whole meal was very good. The staff were young but very friendly and helpful. The bill was a pleasant surprise at how reasonable it was. The ambiance of the restaurant we found enjoyable with good spacing and Covid guidelines in place. We certainly will be looking to revisit the Crab and Winkle when next we are in Whistable.
This place was a brilliant discovery during our day trip to Whitstable with my partner. We approached the restaurant basing our decision on the reviews and I must say we did not go out from the place disappointed! The restaurant itself is very nice and the location is a plus. You are right in front of the sea and the view from the window is magical. The staff is really welcoming and polite. I must thank Claudio for his brilliant service and the care he delivered. Very professional! And also the other two blond girls who also served us (unfortunately we don't know the names). The food was absolutely great. The price is balanced with the quality of the food served. It was delicious. Everything tasted fresh, a great combo of flavours and a variety of food we didn't expect. We definitely recommend the seafood platter for started and the halibut and the crab as main. Overall, it was 10/10 experience. We will come back!
We had a lovely meal here. Would def go back if we are back in the area.
