I have recently visited and feel very safe and welcome. The safety precautions are the best I have seen with each table divided with make shift walls and each of the staff wearing face masks. The selected beer and spirits are exciting and new, perfect for a micro pub. Highly recommend as a local!!

One of Whitstable's little gems. A small shop with a fabulous range of lavender based goodies. Very helpful owners who will post your gifts direct for you via an easy to use online ordering. But worth a visit just for the lovely smell of lavender

Half Croatian Cafe-Bar
Reviewed By 111samj - Canterbury, United Kingdom
I'm from Canterbury and each time I visit Whitstable this is my absolute 'go-to' bar/ cafe. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, there is a great range of drinks including Croatian wines and beers alongside locally produced cider and a range of other options. It has a really lovely atmosphere, well worth a visit for drinks and nibbles with friends, as a couple or to sit and while away the hours with a book.

Very enjoyable exhibitions by local artists in a community space. Great cafe Revival has a lift so if you have difficulties with stairs you can get to the cafe, nice views from the cafe balcony.

We have walked this in both directions, but prefer to end in Whitstable, a cheeky beer on the beach is a nice reward. The walk its self is nice, it's not too hilly, and has some lovely scenery. It can get busy in parts, lots of dogs and families which is nice to see. Lots of cyclists are on the same path. Recommend it as an easy walk with or without kids, suitable for all.

I have known this area many years, since childhood and seen lots of changes. It has now become a really tourist trap with little huts of craft work on display and for sale, food, the fish market is the best and service and the Crab and Winkle cafe excellent. New development of shops and food hall being built and it goes on with attraction. Really worth a visit day and night.

I have lived in this area for 11 years and worked in Whitstable for 4 years and only the other day did I discover this large, hidden away area! It covers 23 hectares and you can easily spend half a day here or longer. I visited with my daughters age 9 and 12. We spent 2 hours here but could have spent longer. There are grass areas with tracks to explore, various woodland areas, a stream, trees to climb, bridges to cross over and picnic tables plus, of course, fab views! (and more!) Plenty to keep children and adults occupied. There are several access ways into the park via residential streets. We parked near Hunters Close but there are about 5/6 other access routes in. A hidden away gem! Great for dog walkers too.

Having lived opposite Tankerton Slopes for the majority of my life, I can speak from plenty of experience. A great view from the top of the slopes. Parking is free all the way along the road running parallel. Always clean and the grass is usually kept short and neat. Colourful beach huts and benches along the way (both at the top and bottom). Ride your scooter/bike or walk along the promenade. Pubs and restaurants en route. Go take a stroll from the castle to the skate park! (Jojos, the cafe, The Marine, The Royal are en route)
