I can't believe nobody has been there yet! This restaurant is probably the best in the city. Yes, I…read morehave not been to many there, but this is one is good stuff! We went there last summer and I booked it because of the good comments on other websites. And I am glad we did. We arrived there and the place was packed, there was only one little table available next to the window, overlooking the beach and the Estuary. The sun was setting down and the a candle was alight in the table. And yeah! That was our table. The menu is not really extense BUT the quality is AMAZING. We had a lovely Camembert cheese, fish and a risotto and I still remember it like one of the best foods I have ever had since I moved to the UK. Oh, and there was a lady playing the piano and singing. Really nice. I would recomend it to everybody :)

White piece of fish, golden batter. You get to choose one side, mushy peas, garden peas, curry sauce etc. Tartar sauce and vinegar in little packs, like ketchup.

Also, the restaurant goes back quite a way and most diners seem to prefer being away from the viewing public. The tables are tucked neatly away, creating quite an intimate ambience, though I wouldn't want to be there if it got too busy! All the food was reasonably priced and the menu had enough choice to keep my fellow diners thinking. Worth a look in if you happen to be in the area.

An annual get together with a couple of friends so we decided to give The Lion Inn another go. It…read morewas brilliant the last time. This time was exactly the same. A wonderfully large pub/restaurant with seating outside, subject to the British climate. We decided not to take the chance and sat inside to take in the ambience and wall furniture that adorned this pub. Old metal adverts, bric a brac and other interesting paraphernalia. We ordered the sharing fish ploughmans. A wonderful feast with plenty to share. Our friends opted for Haddock and chips and corn-fed chicken breast. Both went down a treat. Followed by Crumble with custard, Sorbets, Ice cream and a huge cheese board. Then great coffee. All for a reasonable price with very friendly, professional service. Loved the place, staff are brilliant and helpful. Would we go back.....a definite YES.

Simple very good pub food & check the specials, normally I shy away but I chose the Morrocan lamb with cous cous, perfectly slow cooked & tasty, my customer had the seabass & salmon with cream & leeks - gutted I didn't order it, all the fish dishes looked amazing. The puddings are all home made, I chose the lemon meringue pie...one of the best I've had recently. I'd be glad to come back if I was in the area.

Nice layout inside, with plenty of space between the tables. Fantastic service from the servers with food served quickly and always hot. We have been in here on two or three evenings and it has never changed. Thanks guys and gals, remembering those in the background e.g. the kitchen, for a great evening. See you soon. Oh yes, a tip, use your Meerkat offer of two for one if you have it. A nice saving

Can only echo the comments of previous reviewers. Food is…read morefine, if nothing special, but definitely overpriced when compared to a comparable Pizza Express menu. Setting and ambience are good, but the large amount of glass is drafty in the cold weather. Service is efficient rather than friendly, but it was Sunday evening when I went there (I'd rather not have been working). Overall, average - tries hard but could do better and there are other better places to eat in the village.

Looking for a day trip from London to have some excellent seafood?…read more Samphire in Whitstable is one of the places I wish I knew about sooner. I know places can sometimes only be as good as their chefs or staff so if that is true, honestly come here now. Everything I had was EXCELLENT. Truly spectacular, if I lived in Whitstable, you would find me here regularly. I tried a few things on the menu but only had pics of a few of the dishes. I love to enjoy the day lunch special that is offered week days. Some of the excellent meals we had included: Dayboat -skate wing (Dayboat option was my favorite) Risotto with Lions Mane Pork Chop with Mash and Gravy Truly, the food here is outstanding and Michelin worthy. I adore this place and can't wait to be back to try more. Staff was friendly, attentive and knew the menu well. Food is so flavorful and served at perfect temperatures and excellent. I'm so happy with our meal here and can't wait to try more!

Large indoor seating area, as well as an outdoor area with big patio heaters.

We went on a Monday night when a lot of restaurants here are closed. So happy to have the place to ourselves and enjoy every bite. Two of us did the prix fix £19.99 for three courses. Two ordered à la carte. Everyone was very happy with their meals. The blackened sward fish was amazing and the potatoes and chorizo perfect. Pork was excellent and jerk chicken well cooked and flavorful. I highly recommend a visit but I think a busier times you would need a reservation.

The usual crowd can get a little rowdy so bare that in mind if you want a quiet meal. Unfortunately the food is a little lacking in quality, our experience was of cold and dry chicken and chips. On the bright side, there is an outdoor play area with benches, and despite being close to the main road it really isn't that noisy. With that in mind, you'll find The Halfway House to be a more homely and affordable establishment than any prime-located service station in the area!
