Crabworks in Canterbury

Had been recommended this place couple of months ago and finally managed to try it. Loved every bite “popcorn mussels” were amazing 🤩 the cod father was good too. My wife had a crab meat sandwich, that was lovely and we tried “perdons” also nice We will definitely return 👍

I came across these guys on their pop-up stall at the Hythe Food Festival. Over the course of the weekend I tried food from lots of different outlets but this was by far the best - the soft shell crab brioche was out of this world! It was so good, I ended up going back on the last day of the festival. The guys running the stall were really enthusiastic and friendly, and were clearly passionate about their food. When I go to Whitstable next, I will definitely seek them out!

Best fried cod ever, fresh, crispy batter and carefully prepared. excellent customer service. Brilliant not to have to buy chips but to be served a fresh brioche instead. thanks for making our day!

Love Crabworks, we have been lots of times to Whitstable Harbour and they are always our first port of call for food. We couldn’t believe our luck when we found them today at the Hop Festival. So we couldn’t help ourselves and had the delicious codfather and crab brioche. Fresh, flavoursome and fantastic as always. Can’t recommend enough.

We came across the Crabworks street stand at the Faversham Hop Festival. So pleased that we did. The food was excellent. The service was fast and organised and the staff were pleasant and served us with a smile. Highly recommended!

Soft shell crab and pardon peppers sooooooooo good!!! Experienced at the Hythe food festival with much delight. Definitely picked the best from the very best! X

Best sandwiches in Whitstable! Genuinely amazing value for money, and so glad we bought all 3! Codfather in particular was stunning 😍

Super fresh oysters in the harbour. Highlight of a Whitstable trip. Lovely friendly team. We will be back soon for more delicious seafood.

Lovely experience having a couple of oysters. Friendly staff on a gloomy day were very enthusiastic and up for a chat. Might go back later for another.

I frequently visit Whitstable as is near to where I live so I am accustomed to the price of takeouts and restaurants. I decided to try this place as I really fancied a sandwich. I ordered a crab sandwich and was so disappointed. I cannot fault the staff who was polite but I could not believe that any of them were not wearing gloves and proceeded to handle food with their hands, , the sandwich was so disappointing and certainly not worth £10 for two slices of ordinary brown bread handled with bare hand, crab meat mixed with mayo and a few wilted leaves of rocket also handled with bare hands. What a disappointment.

So pleased to find this open on a Monday,we visited 24th June,we always as part of a day out have delicious crab sandwiches from here to enjoy on a nearby bench.The gentleman was friendly,everything very clean and a very good crab sandwich too,as before he offered to bring them across to the bench where we were sitting.The quality of the crab meat was excellent too.We will return here next time we visit.Thankyou Stuart…

Perfect lunch on a trip to whitstable. We had a soft shell crab brioche each and shared a calamari, all of the food was delicious and freshly cooked. Can’t wait to come back!

Stopped here on a round-North-Kent-Coast bike trip, for a spot of lunch. Mrs Sawyer was intent on a crab sandwich. After perusing many of Whitstables food shacks we decided on the Crabworks. Asking about a gluten-free option, we were initially a little bit disappointed that there was no possibility of it at the time. We were, to be fair, quickly offered a crab salad, but the daughter in need didn't fancy that. The guys behind the counter then suggested we visit one of the shacks behind them for excellent gluten-free fish. Very pleased to report that the crab sandwich that the Mrs and I had were fantastic - the bread light, the crab succulent. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Unbeatable experience with amazing lads, incredible food, and stunning location. Soft Shell Crab Brioche is a must-try, absolutely delicious!

I was visiting Whitstable and walked past Crabworks where I was tempted by everything on the menu. I settled for the Softshell Crab brioche with chili oil, rocket, and aioli. It was absolutely delicious (I ate it on the spot) and I would highly recommend it! I also got the Padron peppers which were very tasty too. I will be going back in the next few days for everything else on the menu! Great spot, check it out when you are there!

The best seafood in whitstable with a wonderfully unique menu. I had to go back after ordering the crab brioche and get a crab sandwich. Delizioso ! Very friendly staff and great little place where you can eat in the harbour as well. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try fantastic seafood and enjoy whitstable. Shame there were no scallops though 🍤

Absolutely delicious food from a lovely team, would recommend to anyone visiting Whitstable. The crab brioche and padron peppers were lush

Not only is the food fresh and incredible it is run by such a lovely hospitable owner! Proper street food, executed immaculately. Care in all parts of the product.

Amazing fresh seafood with even better customer service! Definitely recommend to anyone around the area!!

The mussels are to die for. So delicious. It was quick and plenty of them, plus the sauce they were served with was beautiful. Easy to eat on the go. Perfect lunch 👍🏻

First time trying the soft shell crab brioche and I was not disappointed! The go to place for hot seafood in Whitstable, would highly recommend!
