I've been coming here over the years whenever I'm in town. Lovely dinner area upstairs. This latest visit we came on a Saturday. The area was packed and we needed a place to grab a pint and rest. This place was perfect. They had a good selection of pints. They even had flavored spa water for the kids. A lot of comfy seating area. The bathrooms wee nice and clean too.

5 stars for a wonderful lunch, 4 clean plates, beautiful servers and bar staff, and a proper kitchen with chef at The Pass, (without the drama). To us, the sign of a good restaurant is that we could have never cooked a meal like this at home, and we are good cooks! Fab-U-las.

Good service and okay food in a lovely location if you get a window seat looking out to sea. Quite overpriced for what it is. Child portion - one sausage, mash turned up as roasties. Cold veg. Could be much better. Also had to have 2 or 3 courses and was pretty much only roast dinners.

I ordered fish and chips, and to say l was very disappointed at the food portion size would be an understatement, at £19 l was at least expecting to see more of the food cover the plate than the plate itself. Same with the lamb meal at £26. At first, we thought they gave us the children’s meals, but no it was ours, took me less than two minutes and l was icking it out to finish my fish and chips. Way overpriced for what we got. True it was the la carte menu we choose from as we wasn’t offered any other type of menu. La carte is a poor excuse for small. Fish and chips from the local fish the next night made up for the disappointment.

Nice little pub with great food. Nice and cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff and excellent service. Slightly expensive, probably because it’s on the beach front, and a 12.5% service charge automatically on the tab. Would recommend.

Really sad and disappointed at our visit. Food was not great - items not available, wine not available. Scallop starter was lukewarm at best. Fish in bouillabaisse overcooked, and beef bourgignon ( excuse spelling) was deconstructed!! Really want to support local restaurants but won't be back. Expensive and not great. Service was vague at best.

Some of the food was lovely (the starters & a couple of the mains), but while the bouillabaisse was full of fish, the sauce was very thick & quite tasteless. The service was polite enough, but why aren’t staff briefed before service about what’s unavailable? We ordered the grazing options, to be hold after a delay there was no hummus; we ordered desserts, to be told after a delay there was no honeycomb or vanilla ice cream (really?! when there’s an Iceland round the corner!). When told about the lack of ice cream options one of our party was in the bathroom, so the waitress said she’d come back to get our revised choices. She never did and we couldn’t be bothered to chase. The Pearson’s Arms used to be a really lovely, well run gastro pub but now suffers from a lack of management & staff training. Shame.

Had the chicken Sunday roast which is way over priced. The chicken consisted of a huge chicken leg which was absolutely flavourless and needed more cooking time to make it at least more tender. The Yorkshire pudding was so big, it seemed to be a bit of a gimmick rather than an additional food item on my plate. It was also cold. Whilst the service was quick, I had to ask for gravy and a spoon to serve the vegetables with. There was no atmosphere to speak of, it was just incredibly noisy. Altogether a rather disappointing experience especially at the prices which are being charged where one should rightly expect to have a decent meal in a decent environment.

Well this was a surprise, didn't expect too much from the outside so before entering we took the flip of a coin between a traditional pub dinner and the Italian restaurant across the road. Upon entering we found an extremely cozy pub venue with very warm and welcoming staff.After a drink at the bar we were led upstairs to a windowed table overlooking Whitstable bay.We opted for single platter to share as a starter, followed by two steak meals for main course which were absolutely phenomenal. Cooked to perfection across-the-board, we had zero regrets that we chose this venue for our meal. The prices were at the higher end but absolutely justified for quality alone, and the portions did not leave us hungry afterwards. I would sincerely recommend this place to anyone whom is looking for a good meal on any occasion. Thank you for having us, it was a true pleasure.
