The Pearson’s Arms, Whitstable
Hythe Bay Seafood, Hythe & Dover
Hythe Bay Seafood
Restaurants serve fresh
seafood caught locally.
On the menu is a wide
variety of delicious local
fish and shellfish dishes,
together with meat,
vegetarian and children's
options. The menu
depends on the local
fisherman's catch, and
therefore changes as it
needs to, increasing the fun of eating here. The dishes in both the Dover
and Hythe restaurants are fresh and exciting, offering a new kind of dining
experience for customers, and showing that it is quality over compromise
every time.
The Pearson’s Arms is where distinctive character, real ales, fine wines and
good wholesome food combine to create the ideal pub environment for
thirsty passers-by to avid foodies alike. The Pearson's Arms is very much
a community pub whilst retaining a welcome to tourists and those in search
of a great night out; a place where local and seasonal fare are as much of
the experience as the proud heritage of the town. The Pearson's Arms is
a totally different Richard Phillips experience, but retains the quality, passion,
and attentive service for which his restaurants are known.
Choices include the famous Hythe Bay fish and chips, moules marinières,
whole Dover sole with buttered potatoes and vegetables and the Hythe
Bay poached seafood medley.
Just a stone’s throw from the beach, the Pearson’s Arms is a wonderful
place to eat with a wonderful view to match. Plus there are often live music
events to enjoy, as well as pie and pint night every Thursday. And they have
just started to offer cocktail making lessons – what could be better than
that?
