WHEELERS OF WHITSTABLE

My recent trip to Whitstable was some time ago now, but I couldn't miss out on putting up another post up about the WHEELERS OYSTER BAR. It is such a fantastic place and nowhere quite like it. It is like sitting in your grans back room but being served high end delicious food. You usually have to book well in advance to get to eat here. However Ben somehow managed to book a table for five just after they'd had a cancellation! Yes lucky indeed!!

We took our friends Holly, Elliot  & little Rosalie along to sample their food. I think they also fell in love with the place too. Here is what we had...

Homemade Sourdough and Focaccia Bread with Wild Garlic Pesto

1/2 A DOZEN ROCKY OYSTERS

1/2 A DOZEN GUINNESS BATTERED OYSTERS

A Ceviche of Sea Bass Marinated in Grapefruit, 

With a Lime Granite, Chilli, Micro Coriander & Cucumber, 

Finished with Hand Picked Crab, Apple & Kohlrabi Salad.

Pan Fried Scallops, Crispy Slow Cooked Pork Belly, 

Smoked Bacon Jam, Sage & Squash Puree.
