Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

4 Aug 2026

The East Kent is a busy town-centre pub on Oxford Street in Whitstable, where dogs are welcome inside alongside food and drinks. The modern pub serves a full menu and keeps opening hours Tuesday to Sunday, making it a handy stop for visitors exploring the harbour and seafront.

Dogs can settle in with you at your table while you work through the menu and the central location puts you close to the town's walking routes and coastal paths. The indoor welcome means wet paws and post-walk appetites aren't a problem.

It's the sort of pub that works for a proper meal or a quick drink and the dog-friendly policy covers the main indoor area. Closed Mondays, open from midday the rest of the week, with later closing on Fridays and Saturdays.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Free treats available

Dog Policy:
