Reviews
Excellent place by the “beach”.
The best fish and chips in my life. I had fried shrimps (not in the photo) and enjoyed them a lot. Fries were nice too. Staff was cool.
Delicious! Every time, it is delicious!
I didn’t even like oysters before visiting the Forge, nor did I know the history of the Whitstable oyster company. Now, I make it a point to visit once a month (or anytime I have an international visitor).
These oysters are so incredibly fresh and tasty. The fish and chips are unbelievably good—the batter is light and crispy, the fish is tender and moist, and the chips add the perfect salt and carb complement.
Amazing in any season, I love that waterside shack is tucked alongside the fisherman’s cottages and has a prime view of the bay. Staff are friendly to customers.
Overall, this is a fabulous place to visit for high quality food in a low-key atmosphere.
Cute little outdoor fish restaurant right on the beach. It’s all outdoors with picnic tables, with food and drink served out of a hatch. The offer is fairly simple with Whitstable oysters and fish and chips to take away with a good range of beers.
Best thing is the location, fish and chips were ok. Freshly cooked but batter was not the best and they loose a star for using frozen chips, not freshly cut.
We all had fish and chips which were excellent apart from my daughter who had scampi which is best avoided . It looks like it's not made on site and she was disappointed with the portion size. Can't fault the fish and chips. Also good to be able to bring our dog to sit outside with us.
We also tried a couple of oysters which were much better than the oysters we had had the day before at the harbour

"My first visit to Whitstable. Decided that I fancied cake, as you do. Found this place that had a white chocolate and pistachio cake, couldn't resist...."
