The Duke of Cumberland

A family group of 11 of us ate lunch here today for a birthday celebration, and it was all-round excellent! Our waitress was lovely, and the service from the whole team was great. We had lots of different items from the menu and they were all top-notch - roast chicken, roast beef (both cooked to perfection with superb roast spuds, and lovely veg including swede and red cabbage) burger, fish pie, sea bass and more - all really tasty. This is the second time I’ve eaten here and it does not disappoint. Highly recommended

Went for lunch to try the Mussels Bar and wasn't disappointed. A lovely decorated bar area and restaurant which is contemporary but cozy. Service is excellent. The Mussels Bar represents one of the best value places to get decent mussels in the whole of Whitstable. They were cooked well and there's a great selection of tastes from Thai to traditional. The fish pie is good too. I highly recommend this place and will definitely visit again.

I haven’t stayed in the hotel so based rating of rooms on pub areas. I’ve been to the pub a few times and had drinks in the garden. On a weekday visit a few years ago it was very quiet but on a Sunday afternoon recently it was very lively with a lovely atmosphere and a live guitarist who was amazing. It looks like it’s been redecorated since my last visit. Very pleasant garden. Lots of cocktails were not on offer but enjoyed what I did have and would return.
