    Having studied the menu for dinner online it was slightly disappointing that that was not what was offered. Chicken Kief for instance. Nevertheless, a meal served was pleasant and half the price the Oyster Company restaurant. It was pointed out that Service was not included and 10% tip was offered.. however the waitress said the tip couldn’t be included when taking the credit card but had to be arranged separately. I should think the staff need to have a word with the patron to get that sorted out as I certainly wasn’t going to go to any further trouble in giving a generous tip. She received nothing.

    We’ve started coming down for late Sunday lunches this winter. It’s a perfect thing on a wintery afternoon. Delicious roast, with huge home made Yorkshire pudding. Or things like a good steak with hispi cabbage if you’re feeling less greedy. Delicious.

    Many times we have had an amazing breakfast at no’1. This time we went for a Sunday roast, it was just as delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and served hot. There was 6 of us dining at no’1 and nothing was too much trouble. Great food, great staff, great restaurant. Be back soon.

    We came for NYE and the atmosphere was lacking. The New Year’s Eve menu was nice some plates a little cold. And Al dishes came at once so made it hard to enjoy the dishes leisurely. The service was rushed and the staff didn’t know what the dishes were or helpful. Lacking experience and therefore was a bit disappointing
    No.1 WhitstableResponded on 10 January 2025
    Thank you for dining with us on NYE, we appreciate all the comments you have made. We do have a young front of house team however they are trained on all aspects of the menu so should have had no problem answering any questions you had. I can only apologise if they didn’t have the answer for you. We were fully booked NYE same as most restaurants so the service can feel a little busy for the staff but this shouldn’t have impacted your dining experience. We hope this hasn’t put you off coming to see us again in the future.
