The Sportsman, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Whitstable, known for being frequented by celebrities and receiving numerous awards, has recently been criticized by hygiene inspectors for having mold in the fridge. The restaurant, which dropped from five to two stars in its food hygiene score, was found to have issues such as dirt and mold in the kitchen and fridge during an inspection by Canterbury City Council. The site owner, Shepherd Neame, has stated that immediate action was taken to address the problems and that staff have applied for another inspection.
Despite the recent setback, The Sportsman has been praised by renowned chef Max Rocha and has a loyal following of customers who appreciate its fine dining at an accessible price and creative yet humble atmosphere. The restaurant, known for its tasting menu and affordable midweek options, also offers accommodation in four en-suite cabins in the garden.
While The Sportsman faces criticism for its hygiene issues, Whitstable continues to be a popular destination for food enthusiasts with other notable eateries such as the bright pink Oyster Bar and the Neptune pub. The culinary scene in Whitstable offers a diverse range of dining options, attracting locals and tourists alike. The Sportsman is yet to comment on the recent hygiene inspection findings.
