Top Places and Services in Whitstable, Kent

We decided to come to Whitstable for the day from London to have lunch and enjoy the local seafood and we found this lovely new restaurant.

We ordered oysters, croquettes, prawns, sardines and half lobster. Food was delicious and we loved every dish we ordered.

The staff were friendly and efficient, and the restaurant had lovely setting and atmosphere.

Thank you to team at Lazy Lobster for being the very highlight of our day trip to Whitstable. We look forward to coming back very soon.

Christmas Eve tasting menu, what can I say...
Amazing, perfect the culinary high of Christmas.
Especially when accompanied by the wine tasting menu..
8 different dishes, paired with 8 different glasses of "wine."
I know this was the first time the Lazy Lobster had done a tasting menu and a brave thing to roll out on Christmas Eve. But they smashed it, the kitchen staff cooked ever dish to perfection, and the waiting staffs knowledge of the wines was incredible.
Our highlight of Christmas.

I better just add that this restaurant has started to become one of the main contenders in Whitstable, due to quality food, including small plates, a really good Sunday roast, a relaxed atmosphere, with knowledgeable friendly staff.

We’ve tried all of Whitstable’s top restaurants and this place is far ahead of the pack! Incredible food, small plates packed with flavour on a menu that changes pretty regularly, attentive and friendly service (we asked about dairy free and they annotated a menu for us and made suggestions etc), and lovely decor. We particularly loved the corn ribs, prawns and tuna. Loved it so much we went back twice in one week… Cannot recommend this place enough!

We visited The Lazy Lobster during a short holiday in the area. It was the best seafood meal we've ever experienced - everything from the food to the service was exceptional. We ordered about 7 different small plates and we loved everything, the scallops and the tiger prawns were probably our favourites. The tuna crudo was so fresh and even the non seafood plates such as the deep fried pickles and the bread were delicious. The servers were super friendly and attentive. We loved it and will definitely be visiting again when we are next in the area.

Great food - tasty and imaginative! Both mains (brill and pork with plum) were really good and we also enjoyed the starters and sides. Only minor point is the food is a bit heavy on the butter. The service is friendly and fast - definitely above average. Recommended, will visit again!
