What is it?
Whitstable Castle, an 18th-century crenellated house between the harbour and Tankerton, has a bistro for breakfasts and lunches and the Wynn Ellis tea room, which welcomes dogs. They also serve afternoon teas. Next door are the free gardens with sea views and a playground.
When to go
It opens seven days a week for breakfasts and lunches. It works very well with small children, who play in the playground while you have something to drink, and as a stop between the harbour and The Street, in Tankerton.
How to get there
About ten minutes on foot from the harbour along the coast. If you come by car, the castle has a car park with number plate recognition: register yours at reception or in the tea room so you do not get a fine.
What to order: a tea with a scone after playing in the playground, or breakfast before heading down to The Street.
