Follow The Swirl Ice Cream in Thanet

We very stupidly stopped in here after just parking up into Margate, very hungry, and really fancying some fish and chip shop chips! There was a traditional, small take away chip shop next door to this one but the queue was round the block, and like I said we were very hungry and didn’t want to wait! As soon as we walked into this restaurant, we regretted it and should have walked straight back out. There were 2 more customers sitting inside, in complete silence, a member of staff came over and told us it was only burger and fish and chips being served that day. We manage to get them to just serve us some chips, I had a wine and my partner had a coke (in a daisy printed glass that you would give your child at home). It was a very awkward setting to be sat in, the staff were just standing around, staring at you, in an empty restaurant, waiting for you to finish your food and then would pounce as soon as your had your last bite. A lady from outside came in and asked to use the loo but they said it was for customers only (fair enough) BUT they asked her to pay to use it if she needed it that bad! Shocking. She didn’t have any change so had to leave. I did need the toilet but felt too uncomfortable to go, I felt like there would be someone watching me. Needless to say, we left as soon as we could, and carried on walking up the beach….there were sooooo many more fish and chip shops and we were absolutely gutted that we just stopped in the first place.

Excellent service and excellent quality

The pizza delivery man exclaiming "PIZZA TIIMMEE" when I answered the door was a highlight of my day. Perfect pizza, after a very busy tiring day this was such a treat.

It took 45 minutes to serve me a jacket potatoe with cheese, the place wasn't even busy. No dressing on the salad as specified on menu, I asked the lady that delivered it to me if she could please get me some and didn't. I went to the counter and was left waiting for 5 mins for the salad dressing until I complained my food was getting cold and it eventually materialised. Have visited 3 times , never a good experience, scruffy, tables never cleaned, tea served in nasty thick mug with Teabag just left in it, staff don't care, slow inattentive. Last visit for me.

Went to Tesco's at Westwood cross Broadstairs, we have been there before me. And my wife and it has been pleasant. I ordered an egg and sausage muffin. Which I waited for about 15 minutes which was fine. and then it was given to me. And muffin had been squashed AND the server.Ask me if I would like another one because it was a mess. And I said yes, please. And he went away and then. The cook a man Come running out Holding the Plate and was very aggressive in the way.He spoke to me and my wife accusing us. Of squashing it. I will not shop in this Tesco's ever again. Because I did not receive what I paid for in the end. He took it away and left us waiting And gave us nothing This person needs talking to buy the management. And by the way, I do not blame the server.
