About
The Sea Farmer’s Dive Taproom
Welcome to The Sea Farmer’s Dive Taproom, a hidden gem nestled along the scenic seafront of Whitstable at The Barrel Store, Horsebridge Rd, CT5 1BU, United Kingdom. If you’re seeking a cozy spot to immerse yourself in the local craft beer scene while savoring the freshest oysters, you’ve just hit the jackpot.
Upon entering The Sea Farmer’s Dive Taproom, you are greeted by a delightful ambiance that perfectly captures the essence of coastal charm. Adorned with mismatched furniture and a roaring fire, the taproom radiates a welcoming warmth that invites you to linger. The quirky interior—complete with unique decorative touches like boat seat tables—serves as a reminder of its maritime roots.
- Craft Beer Selection: Dive into a diverse array of local and craft beers. The taproom features the delicious Rocky Rye Amber Ale, and for those adventurous palates, try the Sweetie Pie Whiskey Chaser at £6.20. Additionally, the taproom offers a range of bottled and canned beers available for takeaway at discounted prices, ensuring you never run out of options.
- Oysters and Snacks: No visit is complete without indulging in the famous local oysters. Paired with your choice of craft beer, they provide a taste of the ocean that will undoubtedly enhance your overall experience. Various snacks are also available to complement your drinks.
- Community Vibe: Reviews from patrons echo the same sentiment—a friendly staff, a vibrant atmosphere, and an inclusive feel make this establishment a must-visit. Guests like Liberty Hobbs declare it an “absolute treasure,” while others marvel at the perfect sunset views with their drinks in hand.
While the cozy setting makes you feel like you’ve found your second home, it's worth noting that facilities are limited. As mentioned by Melissa Roberts, a public toilet is located a few steps away, which may be a minor inconvenience for some, especially in less than favorable weather. However, the joy of sipping a Hazy Pale while enjoying the ocean breeze vastly outweighs this minor discomfort.
In conclusion, The Sea Farmer’s Dive Taproom is not just a bar; it’s an experience. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this taproom should be on your “go-to” list. The combination of outstanding craft beers, delectable oysters, and an inviting atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful coastline of Whitstable. Come for the drinks, stay for the experience!

“ Little craft beer place, close to the seafront. Good selection of beers (many local ones), a fridge with cans and bottles with the option to take away at discounted prices. Snacks and, most importantly, they serve the famous local oysters. ”
“ The sea farmers dive is an absolute treasure! Staff are very friendly and the ambiance is brilliant. A treasure in the heart of the sea front with a wide variety of local lagers and ales and of course oysters! A great place to add to your ‘go to’ list when visiting the area. The lager glasses were so nice we bought a few from their merchandise range! Will be back soon! ”
“ Cosy place to get out of the January weather. A good choice of local and craft drinks at prices you’d expect for being by the beach and a bit quirky. The Hazy Pale “Aw, shucks” went down very well. Quirky interior, loved the boat seat table. Only draw back which is minor is there is no toilet, so you have to use the public one which is a few steps away.. since it was blowing a ‘hooley’ and wet it would’ve have been preferable not to have to go outside. ”
“ Pretty perfect for a pub in my eyes. A beautiful location, with a fantastic range of beers. From mismatched furniture to a roaring fire, it is filled with charm and character. ”
“ Deceptively large craft beer bar right on the sea front. Visited last night and enjoyed a Vault City sour whilst watching the sun set over the sea - heaven! Busy bar but with a welcoming and comfy feel. Great range of beers for all tastes. We will 100% be returning, I can imagine this is a brilliant place to go on a summer evening. ”
“ Hidden gem of Whitstable just in front of the beach. Found this place while walking at beach. Superb seaside atmosphere inside. I like the touch of boat seating and fire place to warm up after all day of walking on the sea front which makes the atmosphere more cosy. There’s a great selection of craft beers from famous breweries all over the UK and cider is not bad either. Knowledgeable staff n service was really cool too. Recommend if u around ”
