The Peter Cushing J D Wetherspoon

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! I had low expectations but was blown away by the beautifully designed interior, featuring art deco theatre decor with large black and white pictures and hanging lights. The customers were friendly and we even had a conversation about the history of the place. The staff were fantastic - friendly, helpful, and genuinely nice (not just putting on a forced smile). The food was delicious, hot, and fresh. We enjoyed it so much that we returned for brunch the next day. Kudos to everyone at this restaurant for showing how it should be done.

The Peter Cushing OBE is a great Wetherspoons pub located in the heart of a bustling area of retail shops, old bookstores, and charity shops in the historic town of Whitstable. Known for its famous oysters dating back to Roman times, Whitstable is a place where the community still values this prized delicacy. The pub is dedicated to the iconic Hammer film star and local resident, Peter Cushing, who spent his later years promoting the town's heritage and coastal walks.

As we were staying in whistable and .most eaterys shut at 3 to 4 pm ? We were passing this spoons pub.. so we went in for a drink but stayed and had an evening meal the staff were polite and the food was good for spoons..9 out of 10... . good prices and pleasant atmosphere.....would recomend pub if your down whistable way .. Ps parking is round the back and at £1.50 per hour and good cheep food Why Not visit

Went with two family members and we all had the fish and chips. Large piece of fish until you realise it's about 70% batter, over cooked and contains fish that hasn't seen the sea in a while. Mushy peas were like water and chips bland. I checked the menu and it definitely said cod, but it wasn't like any cod I have had in the past, almost mushy texture.

As always, Wetherspoon's provides a good service, a good food and drinks selection and very reasonable prices. The outstanding feature of the Peter Cushing though, is the building itself. It has been converted from a (1930's art deco? cinema into a pub in a very sympathetic way, leaving a great many of the beautiful and artistic features in place. The black and white glass lampshades are a wonder to behold and even a trip upstairs to the toilets is an education in early 20th century architecture. For anyone over sixty, it will evoke wonderful childhood memories and is truly a journey in time travel. Do go and visit; it is far more than just a pub...it is a genuine artistic masterpiece.
