A warm and welcoming pub, originally a pair of fisherman's cottages built in the 1800s
Located a stone’s throw from the harbour and named after an old fishing boat, the Smack Inn captures all the spirit of the Whitstable seaside - even boasting a beach-inspired beer garden complete with colourful beach huts!
Tucked away behind the High Street, it’s the perfect place to escape the tourist crowds.
During the winter months, you can relax by the roaring log fire with hearty pub food and proper pints of ale for company - while in summer, there’s that superb ‘beach garden’ to enjoy.
