I wouldn’t normally write a Google review but the food was so fantastic that I had to. We ordered multiple tapas style dishes and I liked every one so much I wouldn’t have been able to pick a favourite. They flavours are imaginative and the food is well presented. The staff were also very attentive and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Land and sea!

We were recommended to try this restaurant, we loved it so much we re-arranged the next day (on our weekend stay) so we could go again for brunch 😋 The food was just fantastic, cooked to perfection and the friendly staff were amazing. Highly recommended

At 12.20pm whilst walking from Whitstable I checked on open table, there was seats available to book for 12.30pm. As we were walking with kids I did not want to fiddle around with the phone to proceed with the booking. Arrived at the restaurant at 12.40pm. Restaurant only had 2 tables seated, lady at reception on her iPad still had 12.30pm on her booking screen showing 4/8 available. She went in to check with a colleague if we could have the table, we were refused a table, said we could only had the table at 1.30pm? In 50mins when the restaurant only had 2 tables seated? And if other tables are coming I doubt they'll be vacating their table in 50 mins. I don't normally leave negative reviews but I honestly felt they could have accommodated us but just simply refused to. Needless to say we won't be attempting this restaurant again in the future.

Land + Sea in Whitstable is a gem in the Kent dining scene, offering a well-crafted blend of British coastal cuisine with a modern twist. Located near the picturesque waterfront, it sets a cozy yet upscale atmosphere that feels both inviting and refined. The décor reflects the coastal charm of Whitstable, with nautical touches and a relaxed, intimate ambiance. The menu at Land + Sea is thoughtfully designed around fresh, local ingredients, especially the seafood, which takes center stage. The tapas-style dishes are a particular highlight, allowing diners to explore a variety of local flavors in shareable portions. The cuttlefish, for example, is tender with a perfect char, often dressed in a light, tangy marinade that brings out the best in its delicate flavor. The cod cheeks, known for their buttery texture, are lightly seasoned and seared to create a crispy exterior with a soft, flaky center. Paired with a lemon or aioli dipping sauce, they capture the essence of Whitstable’s fresh, ocean-sourced cuisine in each bite. If seafood isn’t your preference, there are still plenty of choices, like expertly prepared steaks and seasonal vegetable dishes that showcase the quality of Land + Sea’s ingredients. Drinks-wise, the wine list and cocktail offerings are curated to complement the menu, with options ranging from local vineyards to creative, fresh-ingredient cocktails. The atmosphere at Land + Sea is a charming blend of coastal elegance and warmth. The interiors are tastefully nautical with a modern, relaxed design that’s equally suited for casual meals or special occasions. The staff add to the experience, striking a balance between attentive and approachable. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and provide helpful recommendations, ensuring each guest feels welcome and well-cared for. Overall, Land + Sea in Whitstable beautifully captures the essence of coastal dining, with fresh, flavorful dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s a must-visit for seafood lovers and anyone seeking a memorable meal by the sea.

Simply stunning. On all fronts. Terrific food. Wonderfully warm and friendly service. Great wines, truly so. Energetic and inspiring atmosphere. Positively loud and full of life. The chefs cook literally in front of you with precision, care and amazing focus. Food is incredible with only the slight moan that the truffle fries could and should be more truffly and fluffy. The team are a team and work in perfect harmony, like a bunch of friends who've known each other for years. Their passion for great food and service is breathtaking. We loved every minute and couldn't recommend Land and Sea more highly. We'll be back. Most definitely. Book now. You won't be disappointed.

Read some reviews and thought this place sounded a little different. We were staying close by and were NOT disappointed. The menu does change regularly so in summary: the truffle fries were plentiful and crisp. Croquettes so creamy and flavourful. Smoked trout tender and the sourdough with ‘Graceburn’ (an English version of feta) and butter beans surprisingly tasty. Curry mussels in a sauce I could bathe in it was so glorious and lastly, excellent coffee and chocolate mousse. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff, a truly relaxing atmosphere and I was surprised at how reasonable the whole meal was (we only had half a pint of lager and some water.) We visit Whitstable a couple of times a year and will be coming back here as it’s a real hidden gem.

Slightly unassuming plot on main street but really lovely and cosy inside. Have passed this place by previously but wished I hadn't. Friendly and warm staff, nice ambience, food interesting and menu changes regularly (they said) to reflect in-season produce. My fish was perfectly cooked. Called in also for an early breakfast next day as way too early for my bus (bus-stop very close by) and again pleasantly surprised by the selections and service. Indulged in a bacon, egg and rocket brioche that is not my norm but was awesome. Would have liked a lingering coffee out on the front patio but my carriage was due - another time most definitely !

What a wonderful restaurant! The dishes were so inventive with interesting and complementary flavours, you could tell that this is a place with a real passion for food. This enthusiasm spilled over into the restaurant where the servers were extremely friendly and accommodating - we really enjoyed the whole experience. I must also mention the chef - he went to great lengths to accommodate my friend’s dietary intolerance and even deconstructed or tweaked some of the dishes so that we could all still share them. It was really appreciated and made it a most enjoyable evening. If you have a chance I would highly recommend a visit!

We live locally and dine at Land and Sea regularly, whether for lunch outside on the patio when the weathers’s good enough or inside for dinner. The chef Ben is amazing, always friendly and charming despite being busy and his menu is always changing, creative and delicious. The last time we visited we tried the miso tiger prawns, wow they were fab, and Jake the lovely server brought bread to mop up the tasty buttery juices. YUMMY. We live in town so there are many other restaurants nearer to us but we think the walk (or occasional taxi ride) to this restaurant is always worth it.

This is an excellent restaurant. We were a group of 5 and were welcomed well and sat at a spacious table, plenty of room, nice relaxed vibe in the restaurant. Drinks menu very good with plenty of Kent/English options. We were guided to an English wine which was really excellent. Service was superb, attentive and thoughtful from all we dealt with. For example, one of our party dropped their knife on the floor. There were no waiting staff in the room at the time, but despite that the sound had been heard and within seconds someone was over asking what item was needed - that's over and above. The food was wonderful - varied menu, lots of interesting things to try, all beautifully cooked and presented. There were many highlights but the cabbage with crispy onions and the deep fried pickles stood out, and the salmon tacos were to die for! In short, do yourself a favour and make the short (and lovely) walk along the coast from Whitstable to Tankerton to Land and Sea - you won't regret it!

Don't miss this fantastic restaurant if in Whitstable area. In a street being the Marine Hotel Tankerton. Small plates, medium plates and large "as and when" service. Have to say a concept i was iffy about till this meal. Cant' praise the food enough, all familiar headlines like oyster and mackerel and chops but served with flair and interesting ingredients but not overstated and unnecessary. Like the rhubarb with oyster. The korean flavoured mayo with fried pickles. Go and you will see what I mean. Oh and really good front of house and a short but interesting wine list, we had a very well priced SA fizz. The locals are very lucky to have this. Finally I thought it was great value.

We liked the look of the menu and booked for the next Saturday night - only option was early sitting but this suited us. We really enjoyed our food - prawns, tuna, anchovies, lamb - in a tapas style as dishes came out when ready - it was right up our street - interesting flavours, excellent combinations which we felt worked very well - my husband isn’t a vegetable fan but he was completely taken with the cabbage side dish and ate it all! Small choice of desserts but both were heavenly. Friendly and welcoming staff. Lovely wine - Californian pinot was a great choice. We will be back!

The restaurant feels very confused It's clearly trying to be something that it isn't. The pricing is all wrong, and the portion sizes are just absurdly small for the costs. It needs to be a casual restaurant it's not a tasting menu. The quality of the cooking has gone downhill intensely. The chefs are likely diving in too deep without proper culinary training. Initially everything was well balanced (albeit small). However, the last few times I've been everything was either not seasoned well or absolutely drenched in butter to point of severe grease overload. I would recommend everyone go to Whitstable and find a better restaurant better priced while the chefs sort out the menu.

Super food, a lovely place to eat. We booked for 6.00pm on a Friday evening and on arriving at 8 minutes to 6 we were told that the restaurant was not open yet and we should go and have a drink nearby and come back which we did. We enjoyed our 3 course meal but based on the fact that we are only allowed the table for 2 hours the service was not quick enough. We were presented with our bill ( we didn't ask for it ) and were then asked to pay when we were still eating dessert. I found this rude and intrusive. We paid when we had finished and left by 8.02pm. Such a lovely restaurant and I understand the 2 hour rule, we are local and this is the norm. It could have been handled better by the waiting staff so we weren't left feeling we were a nuisance and holding up the next booking.

The quality and variety of the food was fabulous and everyone was praising it all the way back to our hotel and the next day and will be for many days in the future! Thank You Ben and your team for giving us such a feast. If there was one negative, it was that we were unable to finish everything on the table - we were soooo full! I look forward to my next visit - I have serious desert catching up to do! But honestly, I was glad to have maxed out on that cabbage dish even if it meant the bread and butter pudding will have to wait for another day!

Followed by Crispy prawns and a Garlic dip with a twist you could eat the hole thing I mean the prawn was hole eyes Head ETC Now that was a first for me but O boy they again were Amazing a first but never a last. Also a shrimp /Chriso flavour dish with a sourdough toast bread again blinking flavour was amazing. So while having this I was slowly getting though a lovely chilled Mexican beer . Then the Main we went for the Duck which was cooked just how you would expect it it nice and pink all the way through with the trimmings I can not praise this place enough in fact we popped back in a few days later just to have some more Olives . So thanks Chef and the Team from the Kitchens

I had the brush here and it was excellent. The sourdough bread was thick and tasty and the serrano ham was great. I particularly liked the scrambled egg on the toast. The staff seemed very pleasant and the restaurant was spotless

Nice atmosphere and service but the freshness of fish is very questionable. I took the dory and it smelled very bad at first. I ate 2 small pieces anyway and felt bad an hour later. Definitely not coming back.

Excellent food. Delicious cocktails. Great place to sit in the shade and enjoy a warm day. Service was pleasant but a little slow as they were very busy. The chairs are not that comfy, however the food and drink made it well worth a visit....

Great little cafe / restaurant in Kent. We had a selection of small plates, all of which were exceptional. Particularly loved the battered pickles and the Sourdough with chilli oil dip. The service was great, staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Can’t wait to come back

This is a really lovely place. Fantastic food - simple ingredients done really well. A definite Spanish feel while avoiding the clichés of tapas. Very inventive combinations, and the side dishes are just a lot better than you might expect. Plenty of veggie options. Friendly service.

Great service. They were able to accommodate us (and our dog) very quickly with their outdoor seating and provided blankets so we could comfortably enjoy our meal. The food was phenomenal and we would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Food was fantastic (as always), but we had to wait 2 hours till our main course arrived. I know it was a busy Friday eve but we had taken my in-laws as we'd told them how great it was I know it takes time when good food is cooked to order but we weren't reassured that things were on their way, and were left with our starter plates sat in front of us long after we'd finished eating, so just felt a bit overlooked. Just a shame as we are very supportive of our local businesses but probably won't go back for a while. Staff are v friendly but would have appreciated an apology for the walt.

We visited here having seen mixed reviews but wanted to give it a try ourselves. We ordered a non alcoholic margarita cocktail and a regular whiskey sour. I was so impressed to see actual alcohol free cocktails as this is rare, and they were presented beautifully. Top marks- if I was local I’d come back here repeatedly as they were very reasonably priced. We ordered chicken wings to start-lovely and crisp but with just a drizzle of sauce across the top. A little pot to dip would have been even better as it was delicious (chicken fil-a sauce.) For mains we ordered a whole lobster Thermidor. I’ve eaten this many times elsewhere over the years. The sauce was NOT a Thermidor sauce. It was an odd tasting,watery type sauce which took away from the taste of the lobster. Also,the lobster was tiny and there was very little meat at all. Chips lovely and crisp and hot. We also had the baby back ribs. They lacked flavour. If they were seasoned,I couldn’t taste it,and I’d expect some sort of bbq flavour or an accompanying sauce. There was none. Quite bland but very tender meat. Lastly we had the pulled pork mac and cheese. Plenty of cheese and pork on top but the watery sauce used on the lobster appears to be used on the pasta as well. It was not a creamy,gooey,cheesy sauce,as it should, be so disappointing and we didn’t finish it. Nothing was properly seasoned and I can only describe it as insipid. Luckily, we visited at 5pm when it is 20% off so we didn’t feel ripped off. Staff were friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t visit again (apart from for the bar.) There’s a far superior bbq restaurant a few minutes down the road in Whitstable.

This was our third visit but I’m sure there’ll be many more. Despite the team preparing for a large event taking place tomorrow, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was fantastic as always and the service friendly, helpful and welcoming, that’s why we keep coming back. Thank you Red Lion Team, see you at the Hoedown tomorrow

Lunch for 3 people, friendly staff, busy with a nice atmosphere. I had a lovely roast chicken dinner, very tasty and lots of vegetables, roast potatoes & parsnips beautifully cooked. Hubby had steak & kidney pudding which he polished off. Roast beef for mother-in-law and she thoroughly enjoyed it! Clean plates all round-superb!
