THE PEARSON ’ S ARMS
The Pearson ’ s Arms Whitstable www . pearsonsarmswhitstable . co . uk
When you first walk into The Pearson ’ s Arms , the first thing you will notice is the herd of wagging tails and sniffing noses that greet you the second your wet welly boots or sand-drenched shoes walk through the small doorway into the welcoming pub . A true Whitstable treasure , The Pearson ’ s Arms is a dog friendly paradise filled with friendly patrons , comfy armchairs , delicious beverages and some knockout foodie options .
Situated quite literally on Whitstable ' s famous seafront , this is the perfect pitstop after a soggy February dog walk with your pooch , to dry off , have a nice warming drink and maybe even treat your furry friend to a biscuit or two ! But by far the best thing about this establishment isn ’ t the location , or modern seaside rustic interior – though both of these aspects of the pub cannot be faulted – it is the friendly atmosphere that welcomes locals , regulars , travellers from near and far and everyone in-between to come on in , have a seat and have a merry old time . Our top spot is on one of the cosy fireside leather wingback armchairs that can be snuggled in as the rain patters on the windows and you enjoy a large glass of their best wine .
Speaking of wine , the impressive wine list has options from near and far , with Merlots from France to Pinot Grigio from Italy to sparkling Bacchus from our very own Garden of England . If wine isn ’ t quite your thing then take a look over their extensive cocktail menu which includes classics and concoctions that wouldn ’ t look out of place in one of the city ’ s top cocktail lounges . Despite this being the perfect cosy seafront hideaway that doesn ’ t mean the people at The Pearson Arms don ’ t know how to throw one hell of a party ! Head down there on a Tuesday or Sunday evening to enjoy live music from a variety of Kentish talent , or if you ' re in the mood for a party pop in on the last Friday of every month where you will find a house DJ playing the latest and greatest tunes to help you while those winter blues away .
