Forget Me Not

Forget Me Not is a cosy dog-friendly café in Seasalter, just outside Whitstable, where dogs are welcome inside at the tables. It's a proper seaside stop for tea, cake and lunch, with a warm indoor area where the whole group can settle in after a coastal walk. The café serves breakfast and light meals through the day and the relaxed atmosphere suits muddy paws and hungry humans in equal measure.

The café opens daily from early morning to late afternoon, making it a handy refuelling point for walkers heading between Whitstable and the coast path. Inside seating means you're not stuck in the cold or juggling leads and cake plates outdoors and there's a friendly welcome for well-behaved dogs throughout.

Seasalter sits along the coastal path with easy beach access nearby, so Forget Me Not makes a useful mid-walk pitstop when you need a sit-down and your dog needs a rest. It's the sort of unpretentious local café that understands a dog walk rarely goes to plan but always needs tea at the end.
