If you ever happen to find yourself in Whitstable and are vegetarian or not a fan of oysters, then a pretty fine meal can be had on the beach with some chips from V.C. Jones and goodies from the deli a couple of doors down. The chips were the best I've had in a long, long time and a step above top London chippies like North Sea and Masters Super Fish. They were a pretty deep, almost burned brown in places and pleasing in their potatoeyness without the dull doughiness that I find increasingly characterises chips. The chickpea and chip combination (here the chickpeas were in a tomato sauce) is a good one and I was also very impressed with the juiciness of the vine leaves from the deli. Very convenient bench-style groynes are on offer on the beach and you could do worse for a pudding later than the excellent cakes at Samphire.
