Situated just off the High Street in Whitstable the Smack Inn is a charming traditional pub named after the historic single masted fishing boat that brought home Whitstable's famous oysters in yesteryear. Originally a pair of fisherman's cottages built in the 1800s the large wooden pillared circular bar forms the centre piece of this cosy and friendly pub. To the rear is one of the best kept secrets in town: the beer garden. A log fire can be found roaring away in Winter months. A selection of well kept local real ales and continental lagers are available on draught backed by a choice of bottled local real ales, lagers, ciders and a variety wines and spirits. A recent remodelling of the kitchen brings us "The Pub Kitchen@The Smack" offering a choice of freshly cooked food that is a cut above your average pub fare at reasonable prices. Sunday lunches are a speciality with a variety of roasts available. Music is an important part of The Smack offerings with live bands and the famous open stage (now in it's 14th year) offered on alternate weeks. A well stocked Jukebox is always in the background with tongue firmly in cheek Karaoke ("bad is good!") on alternate Sundays. Please ask at the bar to use our free WiFi. Your hosts Karen and Steve welcome you to the Smack!
