"We had paid for a group afternoon tea to host my baby shower on the 29/06/24. Seeing as though I’d been here plenty of times before for drinks I assumed this would be the perfect location to host a baby shower. I couldn’t have been more wrong. To start with I had politely asked for a few specific sandwiches to have with our afternoon on the booking form I filled in prior to the event due to having quite a few fussy eaters within our group. Not one of the sandwiches I had asked for was provided. We did mention that most guests wouldn’t eat the salmon sandwiches that were provided and asked that we be given an alternative option. The owner said “we can make some up but you’ll be cutting in to your time and before you know it we’ll be chucking you out”. This wasn’t said in a light hearted manner, she was quite blunt and rude, along with other members of her staff. (Maybe you have to be rude to pass the interview process to work here). Although this was frustrating I was willing to leave it be as we was there to enjoy the planned event. However, it took staff 15-20 minutes after bringing out the sandwiches to start offering tea and coffee, which again wasn’t fantastic as they wasn’t writing down what people were ordering so were forgetting how many orders of each there were and were then being rude to members of my party when they were asking 15 minutes later if they could have their coffee. Next joke.. their afternoon tea advertisements states “a selection of homemade cakes and treats”, couldn’t have been further from the truth. We got served a selection of cakes that are frozen from Iceland, to top it off we asked staff what flavours the cakes were and they couldn’t tell us (we actually had to look up the flavours on the Iceland website). At this point the experience hasn’t been great.. but there’s more.. The owner had brought in her dog and it was tied to a table at the back of the room, right opposite the customer toilet. Now the owner warned us the dog was nervous and not to touch it however guests couldn’t even go to the toilet without the dog growling/showing its teeth and the dog actually lunged at a number of people, a couple being from our party and another male customer outside of our party. (The manager actually shouted at him for using the toilet as he wasn’t buying anything and didn’t even apologise for her dogs actions). Now im a dog person and this wouldn’t usually bother me but on the occasion I went to the toilet the dog was right forward as if guarding the area and showing its teeth at me. I believe that if it wasn’t tied to a table it would have gone to bite me. (This has been reported as clearly this is a dangerous dog and should certainly not be in a public area, especially when nervous and people are in and out all day). As we was packing up to leave my mum asked to speak to the manager in private as she wanted to discuss some of the things that had happened through out. The manager didn’t want to speak in private so the conversation was had in the main seating area. My mum first brought up about the sandwiches. Without even letting her finish the manager went on the defensive, became extremely rude and was shouting at my mum. (How this woman works in hospitality is beyond me let alone manage a place). My mum remained calm throughout and just wanted to explain her points. The lady continued to be rude and even started to mimic what my mum was saying. So if you are planning to have an event here I’d avoid at all costs. I won’t be going back here and neither will members of my party. Such a shame as the venue is in such a lovely location. It’s just a shame about the staff that work here."

"We were down in Broadstairs for the weekend and the usual restaurant we go to on a Friday evening was fully booked because it was Folk Week (Morris dancers around every corner). We had seen this restaurant from the pub across the road and always wondered what it would be like as we love Chinese food. My husband popped over and booked a table for the Friday evening. He explained that I was in a wheelchair but the lovely lady (I think her name is Grace) said that it was a small restaurant and not really wheelchair friendly but if I could get up three steps she would book the table immediately in front. That was fine for me as I can walk a little way. When we arrived she had booked the first table as you go in and helped me up the three steps and sat me down. We folded up my wheelchair and she very kindly put it in a corner out of the way. The menu in here is very extensive and as we were not sure what we were ordering we opted for a set meal. This started with a selection of things including seaweed, prawns on sezame toast, dumplings, spring rolls and ribs and it was delicious. We then had thin pancakes with cut up lamb, hoi sin sauce, cucumber and spring onions, again absolutely delicious.! The main course was egg fried rice, a chicken dish, a beef dish and sweet and sour vegetables. This was all washed down with a bottle of Chardonnay. The bill was something like £50.00 and Grace helped me back into my wheelchair. Highly recommended as the food is gorgeous but you need to book as the restaurant is small and fills up quickly. We will definitely be going back."

"This review covers two visits,the first late last summer and the second just after Christmas. First the BAD NEWS!!!!! We walked down to Millies last summer with a couple of friends, even though we had stopped going due to the previous attitude of the owner and the state of the place. We sat outside just as a large party left the table. It was covered in plates with the remnants of their meal and lots of half filled glasses along with a pool of melted ice cream under the table. I told our friends it would probably take half an hour for it to be cleaned was wrong it only took 25 minutes! The pool of ice cream was not touched. All this time the owner was parked on a table chatting to people totally oblivious to the state of the place there were several tables in the same state .Fast forward to just after Christmas. A bright, sunny afternoon and we decided to go for a walk. As we passed a very busy Millies we thought lets just have one. I went to the bar while the wife went to a table near the front where people were getting up. As i waited at the bar a young waitress went up to the table to tell my wife she could not sit there. My wife pointed out there was no reserved sign only to be told there were people waiting i don 't know where . As this was taking place the owner bustled pst saying ' oh this could be trouble '. The good lady wife conducted herself very well, bit her tongue gave me the nod and we walked out. The rudest owner i have met in one of the grubbiest bars i have been in and i 've been in a few! will not be seeing us ever again unless it is sold on to someone who has some idea how to look after a bar and treat people with a modicum of respect. Now for the GOOD NEWS!!!! Apparently Pavs cafe,opposite,has been bought by a local guy who has plenty experience of the trade and intends to turn it into a bar. This should be a great alternative to the other place and if his prices are only a little more reasonable than them it can only succeed. Good Luck to him."
