Old Neptune, Whitstable

Whitstable is teeming with pubs, nearly all of which are within walking distance of each other and whilst I’m yet to have a beer in all of them, by far my favourite is the Old Neptune or the Nep/Neppie as it’s known to Locals!

It’s in a great location, literally on the banks of the Thames Estuary and when warm, the outside seating is packed with both tourists and locals enjoying the great selection of beers on offer.

We were there on Christmas Eve 2011 – starting off the festive season enjoying a great evening watching the Christmas Eve sun set over the estuary.
