Review of The Duke of Cumberland

Perfect Whitstable Pub 
The Duke is nestled in the older, quainter part of Whitstable and has bags of character. You can’t miss it this pub, being one of the largest in Whitstable, but don’t be put off, inside is anything but a big, drafty open bar. It is decked out in traditional pub decor, with a refreshing modern update.
Inside is dotted with comfy vintage rustic leather chairs and sofas, perfect for sinking into and relaxing your evening away amongst friends. The most welcoming part of the pub is the huge open fire that roars during the winter months, keeping you warm and cosy! The bar is well stocked with tasty local beers and many better known international beers; the range of bar snacks available is also pretty impressive.
It has a dramatic dining room out the back that boasts a huge Victorian sky light that floods light and sunshine in during summer. All the food served is seasonal and the menu changes weekly. The food is sourced as locally as possible making it really fresh, this really stands the Duke apart from other pubs and eateries in Whitstable.
This place has a great atmosphere that keeps you coming back time and time again weather you are visiting, or a local in the area. The staff are all friendly, inviting and very discreet when you want them to be. I love this place for its great atmosphere and the fact that you feel part of the furniture within about 10mins of being there and warming up next to the open fire. This place is a real must for locals and tourists alike.

a nice pub... 
This is a nice and inviting pub. Has plenty of comfy seating inside and a small beer garden out the back. They also serve food and have a dining area. I have never had food here but havent heard anything bad about it. The staff are friendly and the place has a nice mix of locals and visitors. Drinks are reasonably priced

Review of The Cuban

Cuban...
The Cuban is a bar and restaurant. I have just been here for drinks but have only ever heard positive things about the restaurant and food. The bar area above the restaurant is very good. It is relaxed and modern with a cuban feel to it. There is even Cuban news playing on tv's in the bar. They serve a wide choice of drinks and cocktails. I can reccommend the Cosmopolitans which are particularly intoxicating. Drinks however are quite pricey compared to some other places in Canterbury. I would reccomend this as a place to start your evening out.
