We were incredibly honoured to cook fish and chips for our local RNLI crew from RNLI Whitstable Lifeboat Station this evening. Every year they are treated to a fish and chip supper by the RNLI for volunteering their time to save lives at sea. The lovely Liam and Ollie from the lifeboat crew collected and delivered their meals.
Thank you for everything that you do to keep everyone on the water safe.
If you want to donate to the RNLI you can add a donation to your order with us, or add to your order at Whitstable Produce Store, Dropbear Kitchen, Gilberts, Whitstable Lavender, or @Pure Indulgence by the Sea Or you can buy a special sweet package from HoneyKanes. Loads of other businesses in town have collection boxes including The Fabric Shop and Whitstable Stove Shop. ... See MoreSee Less
Every little helps. If you’re buying from Whitstable Produce Store pop an extra £1 on your bill for RNLI Whitstable Lifeboat Station. 👏👏We’re joining V.C Jones of Whitstable and many other Whitstable traders to raise money for RNLI Whitstable Lifeboat Station They need our help. We will ask you to add an optional £1 donation to all orders this month. If you’re not in Whitstable and you want to help please give here. Remember all these brave, brave people are volunteers.
We’ve always been supporters of the RNLI, and this month have decided to do some fundraising for our local Lifeboat station.
Usually, in October, our Lifeboat Crew would welcome supporters to a fundraising fish and chip supper. Obviously, with Covid-19, that can’t happen this year, so they can’t raise much needed funds.
Deliveries - pop some change or a cheque in an envelope, mark it ‘RNLI’, and our delivery drivers will collect it and add it to the fundraising pot.
Collections - let the person taking your order know you’d like to donate and do a contactless donation tap at the door. We’ll also take spare change and pop it in our fundraising lifeboat.
Let’s see how much we can raise this month to keep our local seas and beaches safe. ⚓️⛵️🛶🚤
Also, a huge thanks to Shernaz from Mosaic Whitstable for kicking off our fundraising with her generous donation. ... See MoreSee Less
I've offered to sing for free for them. Emailed and no reply! But the offer is still there! Just moved to Tankerton and a professional singer with over twenty years performing experience available for events 😊
Thank you V.C. Jones, you really go above and beyond. It's hugely appreciated.
Why a picture of a phone? Well, this is how we’re keeping ourselves and our customers Covid safe. We thought we’d share our Covid safety measures with you.
1) Our restaurant isn’t open. There are 2 reasons. Firstly, we don’t feel safe opening for sit down service. Secondly, we’ve installed a full size ping pong table 🤷🏻♀️🏓🏓
2) We’re still continuing with contactfree collections and deliveries (that’s where the phone comes in). All you need to do is call and pay over the phone and our friendly team will either a) deliver your food to your home or b) text you when it’s ready to be collected.
We understand that this may feel like a bit of a faff, but we’d rather do this than risk having to close as a result of a suspected Covid case. ... See MoreSee Less
Definitely the right thing to do. I won't eat out from anywhere else during these times, yours is the only place I trust, because of the way you're doing things and the fact that I've been eating here all my life. Keep up the good work. Best fish and chips in the world. 👍❤X
Can you put your phone no. Please.
So pleased you’re making use of the ping pong table!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
😍😍😍Wonderful fish and chip supper from V.C Jones of Whitstable last night. Simply the best, better than all the rest 🎵 When you’re ordering, please remember their Pay It Forward scheme and give if you can. ... See MoreSee Less
Not quite sure about the 'on a budget' bit. If I read correctly, the accommodation was gifted. I've looked at staying in Whitstable and I'm afraid it is very much out of my price range! I don't want to take away from the beauty of the place or, of course, the gorgeous fish and chips at V C Jones but Whitstable really isn't a small budget place to stay 😊
We’re so proud to be a part of this. The shop has always supported the RNLI through collection boxes. Obviously, because we’re closed to the public, we’re now thinking up creative ways to carry on collecting money for this amazing charity. ... See MoreSee Less

We popped to @RNLI Whitstable Lifeboat today for a quick chat about other ways we can help them fundraise. Was lovely to also meet Harriet from @spacemasks who’s been epically spreading the word.
Last year when I visited the zetland arms in kingsdown, they had those little Wilkinson jam jars on each table...you know the ones you get in hotels, tea rooms & restaurants...an RNLI sticker was on each lid & customers could leave any loose silver change in the jars. Customers loved it & I’d say that after each sitting & end of each day they would’ve collected a few £. Could restaurants/pubs in Whitstable do same thing to help raise money towards such an important local cause? I’m sure locals could help collect the jars.
It's been a tough few months for our local RNLI crew. Every call-out over the summer costs them money and they rely on charitable donations. With their cafe and shop closed and no way to fundraise, funds are now running low.
If you can spare a little to make a donation to the team who keep our local waters safe, please click on their JustGiving link (all the money will go to Whitstable Life Boat Branch) ... See MoreSee Less
Today is National Potato Day, and what better way to celebrate than with freshly cooked chips.
Frying a chip is a very scientific process would you believe. The potato has to be a certain type (every type of potato creates a different type of chip), and the fat has to be clean and at an optimum temperature.
We've been using the same, local potato supplier since we started in 1962. Let's all celebrate the humble potato. ... See MoreSee Less
I have said it here before, but will say it again. I have eaten fish and chips on three continents in I don’t know how many countries; none come close to yours!
Chips on the beach is a must. Only by the time I get to the beach there's normally only about six left! Always delicious!
If you’re coming to visit this weekend, why not park here, avoid the stress of finding a space in town, and support our town’s Christmas celebrations in the process 😍Hi there you lovely lot! We are back fundraising alongside planning the next few months for Whitsparkle. Tomorrow we will be at the Whitstable Junior School car park, so come and park with us for a small donation of your choice!

Who doesn’t love a quiz?
Especially one that’s supporting a lifesaving charity?
This Friday RNLI Whitstable Lifeboat Station are inviting people to join their online quiz as a part of their Fish Supper month.
Get your dinner ready, gather around a screen, and go for the win.
As a team of avid pub quizzers, we’re wondering how we can join in and serve chips at the same time. 🙈🙂
