1. Playhouse Theatre Whitstable
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 86 reviews
Whitstable is very fortunate to have its own theatre, The Playhouse, which is owned and managed by The Lindley Players Limited.
Reviewed By DaveWa126 - Herne Bay, United Kingdom
A great little theatre with friendly staff and brilliant facilities... all run by volunteers. They're now branching out into tribute shows and 'one-offs' as well as local amateur dramatics so are assured of a fine future. Seats all have a good view of the stage (although the front seats in the middle of the balcony have very little legroom so choose elsewhere if you have dodgy knees!). Last time I went was to see "See how they run" , a wonderful farce that they did with fine form. Parking in Whitstable is, to say the least, at a bit of a premium, but there is a car park situated just behind the theatre which seems to always have spaces [It's one where your number plate is read on entry so you may wish to set up an account before your visit with Canterbury City council parking to save looking for change in the dark and cold when you leave the show.]

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.

Reviewed By marigoldKent - Buderim, Australia
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.
7. Tankerton Slopes

Reviewed By Jn_wls - Whitstable, United Kingdom
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)

Whitstable is a great place to go shopping so many independent shops, lots of lovely boutiques and gift shops, plenty of places to stop for a lovely lunch or coffee and cake. There is also the Harbour Village Huts selling artisan goods, art and food.
10. The Smack
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 53 reviews
Located a stone's throw from the harbour and named after an old fishing boat, the Smack Inn captures all the spirit of the Whitstable seaside - even boasting a beach - inspired beer garden complete with colourful beach huts. It's a family-friendly pub promising a warm welcome to all who come aboard. Tucked away behind the high street, its the prefect place to escape the tourist crowds.

Discovered this little gem of a pub whilst out walking. We have walked past on previous trips to Whitstable but it always looked a little neglected so on this occasion we were bowled over by the transformation that we just had to pop in to satisfy our curiosity. It is now a very welcoming place with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was delicious and served with a smile. Also impressed with the COVID-19 safety practises and the forms for track and trace. We felt reassured and safe to be eating out at this pub. We sat in the garden which is lovely with a boat deck theme.
