Nowhere better to have an oyster and a beer. The best oyster I've ever had, served by friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Mine & my partner's first time in Whitstable, and was going to visit Wheeler's, yet it was closed. This was my second choice, but these are, without doubt, the best oysters I've ever had!The cashier's demeanour was cold and unwelcoming however, and would be the reason I wouldn't come back if the oysters weren't so good; weather was a bit all over the place, and being an outside place didn't help much. Overall though I'd come here just for the oysters - just don't expect a friendly service

This venue was highly recommended by a local. The location is excellent. Great view of the water. This spot is good if you want a quick bite or to order take away. Not a good dining experience as just simple outdoor benches for seating. Which is fine if that's the vibe you are looking for. I didn't particularly like the battered fish, not the best I've ever had. Very bland. Chips were good. And the staff and service was very fast.

We found this place by walking near the seashore. We went to Whitstable to eat oyster! At first we stumble into the oyster stall near the parking face, it was ok so we then decided to take a walk and found this place! It was heaven sent! They Oysters are fresh and large! We had 2 dozens between the 3 of us and also ordered fish n chips.If there are 3 of you, it will be good to order fish for the 2 then the other one should get fish and share the chips are they large. The fish n chips are a bit pricey but its okey.For drinks, i had that oyster drink that tastes like Guinness which is really good!

Fantastic fish & chips cooked to order right on the beach. The food is always top notch and there's a good menu that offers breakfast items until 11 as well as fish & chips, oysters and other lunch options. Simple, good food in a fabulous location.

Ordered fish n chips. Great taste. Freshness of the cod can be felt right away. Will definitely visit again with some friends.

Simply BEAUTIFUL OYSTERS. The BEST I've ever had, and I'm a fan. Go for the Rocks, better priced and such a delicate taste. Will come back!

Best fish & chips we’ve ever had. Excellent service. Location is perfect for the sea views. Worth the price. Didn’t get a photo of the food as was too busy devouring it!

Good fresh oysters, the service boy is good. I only had two oysters, I liked to have a large fish, but I did not as he told me that is frozen fish not fresh one, so I gave up. I appreciated his honesty! Well done!

The Forge Whitstable is a hidden gem that's a must-visit for anyone seeking the quintessential fish and chips experience. As a firm believer that the best fish and chips often come from vans and shacks, I can confidently say that this shack is truly impressive.Tucked away from the main high street and just a stone's throw from the sea, The Forge offers a delightful array of options. In addition to the classic fish and chips, they also serve oysters and have a license to serve alcohol, making it a versatile choice for all tastes.One of the standout features of this place is its fast service. Despite the high quality of their offerings, you won't be waiting long to satisfy your cravings. The selection is also fantastic, and the outside seating area is a lovely touch, allowing you to enjoy your meal while taking in the sea breeze.What sets The Forge apart is its commitment to freshness. Everything is freshly caught and cooked, which is a testament to their dedication to quality. While it may be a bit more expensive than your average fish and chip shop, it's a price worth paying.The Forge Whitstable operates on a no-bookings-required basis, which is great for those who prefer a spontaneous stop on their coastal walk. The Forge is also dog friendly as it is all outside seating. This is not a place for fine dining, but rather a classic takeaway experience where you can sit on a provided bench or a nearby beach to savor your meal.However, it's important to note that parking is limited, and they only accept card payments. So, be prepared for a bit of a parking challenge, but the culinary delights you'll find at The Forge will make it all worthwhile. It's a fantastic spot to refuel during your coastal journey, offering a genuine taste of the British seaside.
