What is there to do in Whitstable & Tankerton?
Good ale and friendly people
If you love good ales and gin then a visit to our microbrewery is a must. Sit outside and watch the world go be or indoors to meet some of the locals.
Here at The Tankerton Arms we pride ourselves in serving good local beers, ciders and wine with good company and conversation, the former helping the latter. We stock a range of local beers, mainly from local microbreweries, but also some from further afield. Our aim is to encourage an atmosphere where real ale and real conversation come together. In addition to well-kept beers, we offer local ciders and a selection of good wine available.

Wheelers Oyster Bar was founded in 1856 by a man called Richard Leggy Wheeler who started as a Dredger Man and by 1850 was a Master Mariner in his own right. In 1856 his entrepreneurial spirit got the better of him and Wheelers Oyster Bar was born. Much later in 1929, a man named Bernard Walsh opened up Wheelers in Old Compton Street, London which went on to be the flag ship for a group of restaurants called Wheelers throughout London. Wheelers Oyster Bar in Whitstable is still standing to this day, steeped with 156 years of history, unlike its counter parts in London who sadly diminished over the years leaving us to be the first and the last one standing.

An open-air showcase of locally-created, British made, premium and hand-crafted goods and fine art. Set in the working harbour of Whitstable, a unique and quirky fishing town on the north east coast of Kent.
Enjoy the paintings, drawings, prints and photography of artists settled alongside skilled craftspeople, who feature an eclectic roster of distinctive goods, including jewellery, wrought iron work, ceramics, textiles and furniture.
With such a diverse mix of artistic styles, there is something to suit each budget and match every taste. With the added bonus of meeting the makers and creators themselves.
The micro eateries serve a mouth watering variety of food ranging from fresh wraps, burgers, Thai, and it would not be Whitstable without a delicious serving of fried fish.
