The Offy

Second visit here, good selection of tasty beers and ciders. I brought a friend with me and he was well happy.

We have been visiting The Offy for years and have got to know Ross and the team very well. We recently used The Offy to supply the drinks for our wedding, Ross was really helpful and made the whole process really easy and stress free!I would highly recommend The Offy to anyone looking to use a local business with a personal touch that you won’t get elsewhere. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon!

The Offy is a very friendly and relaxed off-license with a wide variety of wines, beers and ciders. They also like dogs which meant that we felt free to browse without any pressure to get in and out as quickly as possible. In the end we staggered off with quite the bagful of booze!

Visited during the early afternoon on a Sunday in late July. Good variety of drinks. Solid selection of beers and it was good to see that most are kept in a refrigerator. Also nice to see that they have a decent emphasis on local breweries. Prices seemed about or for the course. Organised shop, well stocked without seeming overly stuffed. Likely one of the better if not the best options for beer selection in Whitstable. I would happily return.

Great place for drinks, lots of variety

We visited Whitstable and the only reason we end up buying some wine at the Offy is because the restaurant in front, The wheeler Fish Bar, doesn’t not offer wine in their menu but recommends to buy it from The Offy.While my wife was sat at the restaurant table I rapidly went to The Offy, with the hope of finding a cold bottle of a good white wine.I asked Anna, lovely lady behind the counter, if they had Albariño white wine, and she, very kindly and knowledgeable, showed me the 2 cold options available. The Portuguese and the Spanish that they had in the fridge.However, Anna recommended me another Spanish white wine that would perfectly pair with the food that the restaurant in front serves.I kindly appreciated her suggestions but bought what, in my opinion, was the best pairing option for seafood.We enjoyed very much the bottle of Spanish Albariño and, when we left the restaurant, we came back to The Offy, and bought the bottle that Anna suggested to try it at home whenever we prepare a great fish meal.I will update this review when I try the Rueda wine you recommended.Thank you very much Anna.

Always a cracking selection of beers from all over with vast selection of local brews too

Great selection of beer & spirits not normally found in your supermarket.

Good selection of spirits but didn't have what I was looking for unfortunately.
