Top Places and Services in Whitstable, Kent

We are regular customers. Such a nice place and equally good atmosphere in summer or winter. Lovely staff and great chef. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely cafe with good coffee and lunch menu. We were a large group of walkers ready for refreshments and service was excellent at short notice. The toasty was nicely presented and everyone in the group were happy with it. Area can be abit noisy due to acoustics but not too disturbing. Staff are friendly and helpful

We called for coffee and cakes and...what cakes! All freshly made and very tasty. Price compares well with the overpriced chains on the high street, although soft drinks too expensive at £4 each. Nice courtyard with waiter service, rare in the UK but welcome.
Inside dining also. Will return again to try lunch.ample car park. Not easy to find so be patient, it's worth a visit if you like a country drive

This afternoon my friends and I visited the old Dairy Cafe ,tucked away in the village of Goodnestone... and what an absolutely wonderful place this cafe is...
First , a word of warning....I live just 8 miles away from this village ,but I still managed to "get lost"...but , once we all finally arrived at the Old Dairy ,we realised we had stumbled upon a true Gem..
The setting is beautiful, even on a cold winter's day...and we have promised ourselves to return again in the Spring and Summer ..
The venue is quite delightful , we loved the bone china teacups on display....and those being used..
We decided to puck from the "light lunch " menu...
I had cheddar cheese and ham sourdough toastie... reliably informed that the sourdough is called Kirsty and is from a 28 year old batch .
The serving was extremely generous, absolutely delicious 😋..
My friends settled with the Ploughman's lunch "with a little bit of everything"..
I loved that our tea was served in proper tea pots with little china cups and saucers.....
We then decided to complete our visit by experiencing the desert menu...after a lot of thought ,we three all chose the coffee and walnut cake 🍰...I'm not sure how, but we all managed to eat every last crumb of the most delicious cake. Let's just say I definitely won't need any tea tonight.
We will definitely visit the old Dairy again , a hidden delight .... wonderful food , and super staff ..
