Description

Reached via a winding lane across open marshland from Whitstable, and tucked beneath the sea wall, the Sportsman may seem an unlikely place to find such good food. The rustic yet comfortable interior, with its wooden floors, stripped pine furniture and interesting collection of prints has a warm and welcoming feel. The full range of Shepherd Neame ales is served, including seasonal brews, and there is an excellent wine list. Remember that food is not served on Sunday evenings or Mondays, or you could be disappointed. The daily menu is based on local produce, with fish dishes steamed wild sea bass with a mussel pistou, or seared Thornback ray with cockles, sherry vinegar and brown butter. Starters also feature lots of seafood, typically rock oysters and hot chorizo. Amongst the mains is braised shoulder of Monkshill Farm lamb and mint sauce.
