    Tables booked up for the whole weekend, so we took a few tartlets, and slices of pie to go from the take away counter, and they were beautiful. Highly recommended, but you would wouldn't you, it's Wheelers Oyster Bar.

    Oysters were good. Other menu items were okay. The price is decent but the seafood in general was not spectacular by any means. Tried the tempura crab and mussels. Was hoping for more flavour from the crab.

    I have eaten in a few nice restaurants in whitstable but this one is not one I would revisit. Had a main fish meal that lacked flavour and was very sparing in terms of the fish in the meal . Very overpriced . Think this place relies on tourists.
