Millie's Bar in Thanet

Very disappointed that the sea bass only came with new potatoes, what ever happened to healthy eating and having some other veg with it as standard? Which is what I would expect at any restaurant and not have to order separately, otherwise the meal would've scored 5 points as what I got was very tasty but not worth £12

Food quite good, although the chicken and the beef in our burgers were overcooked and very dry. However, the service was very poor. We had to wait 50 minutes from placing our order to being delivered. Really not good enough.

Lovely belly covered extension and make it more specious. Good selection of cakes and drinks. Staff are friendly and helpful. Nice clean toilets

Visted for an early dinner with uor four legged friend who was very welcome inside. The view from inside looking out to see was beautiful. As it was earlyish at 6pm , we did not have to wait long for our order to be served. The food was fresh and delicious. Can highly reccomend the salt & pepper squid, cod bites and rump steak - all cooked to perfection!. The service was also very friendly and efficient.

A lovely place to eat. Good food , and most important dog friendly . Been here several times, the view is beautiful . Near the beach so good for a stroll then get some food . Very pleasant surroundings , staff are very helpful . Very clean . Good areas for parking .

We have been here several times with family, but what has happened? One person asked if they could have a scrambled egg instead of fried but was told only if they wanted to order it as an extra portion. The breakfast was lukewarm warm, there was an abundance of staff but few customers, the tea came without milk and when we finally caught someone’s attention, it took ages to come. I collected condiments from a nearby table myself as we hadn’t got any. The waitress asked how the food was when we asked for the bill and when we told her the it wasn’t very good as it was cold, she just said oh. No apology. We would think twice about coming here again which is a shame because it used to be our breakfast place of choice.

Lovely place Great food and great service Megan in particular is amazing. Looked after us and made sure our glasses were always full,a great assett to Millies

Great spot for lunch’s, dinner and drinks. Fantastic service food was delicious, well done Megan you’re doing a great job

The coffee is lovely. The food is wildly tasteless - the bacon felt boiled, the eggs overcooked, hash brown still frozen in the middle. Very disappointing. The service is very good.

We had a Lovely meal here for our grandson’s birthday. The staff were great and really friendly. We will definitely return.

We go here regularly and have done since we moved to the area. Food is lovely especially the cheesey chips and Sunday roast. Staff are lovely and always have a friendly chat with the owner. Have recommended to family and friends who also love this place. Great for family birthdays as we are a large family and they accommodated amazingly even putting balloons on the table for us (pre-lockdown) Highly recommend and we will keep going back!!

Went to Millies to have a couple glasses of wine. Waited to be seated but was completely ignored twice by the waitress and also the cook. Just a welcome Hello or ‘ Be with you in a moment ‘ would have been nice. Needless to say we went elsewhere

We were dog walking in the Westgate area and ended up at St Mildred's Bay, so stopped here for a coffee. We sat outside and drank it which was very pleasant overlooking the beach. A nice latte with a biscuit , £2.40 each. The staff were very pleasant and of course our drinks were brought out to us.

Went into this place for a drink and snack,it isn’t clear where you order from as you walk in,a nice girl asked me over to where she was serving she asked what I wanted,I asked for tea and an almond slice,she didn’t understand what I meant..suddenly this large lady butted in,I presume she was in charge,not a smile on her face,barked at me what did I want,I pointed to the almond slices...anyway I found her abrupt and rude and maybe she should become a prison guard instead of dealing with the public........we won’t return...

I have visited Millie's many time's with my family, and the food is lush! But after being on lockdown for four months, I thought it would be nice to re-visit once they opened again.... It was with dismay that not one member of staff was wearing a mask while serving at the tables, and everyone seemed to be carrying on as normal!! The same goes for St Mildred's bay café next to Millie's! For that reason, I will not set foot in these establishments again due to their callous thoughtless behaviour to the serious Covid 19 situation.....

We have been visiting Millie's since it opened every time we visit Westgate on Sea - usually 3-4 times a year and the food and service has always been brilliant.Given current COViD restrictions we ventured to Westgate on Sea for the first time this year and were wary about eating indoors but it always looks so airy and it wasn't busy. We visited last Thursday mid afternoon. There was sanitiser on arrival which 2 families in front of me failed to use and they weren't asked to use it. Tables were spaced apart which was reassuring. We sat in the window overlooking the sea and the whole of the floor was covered in dead flies. More than one days worth in my opinion too......The table was cleaned on arrival for us but the highchair was filthy, chocolate stains on it. Not what you want to be seeing at the moment of heightened cleanliness.Staff were not wearing masks when coming to the table, the bar didn't have any screening as I have seen in all other shops and eateries I have visited. What was most disturbing though was that the chef wasn't wearing a mask at all and he was on view of the restaurant.The food was very disappointing too, we had simple scampi and chips and a burger. Partner said burger was ok but in hindsight and judging from tummy ache that evening I think that the scampi needed a few extra mins. The chips that were obviously twice cooked were literally sticks of hard fat and were barely edible.We left very disappointed after having so many previous lovely visits. Hoping this is a temporary issue for Millie's as it used to be so great.

We had two lovely meals at Millies Bar yesterday, we set off from a rainy Bexleyheath and almost turned round mid journey due to the awful driving conditions! Thankfully we didn't as the Weather in Westgate was perfect. We had booked a table for 11 people for breakfast, all ordering different meals, all food came out together and was lovely, we spent the DAY on the beach which we didn't expect (weather was on our side) so we decided to have our evening meal back in Millies before heading home, again we all ordered different meals, all came out hot and we were all completely satisfied, the dessert menu looked amazing so we finished off with pudding, the portion sizes were more than generous, two really enjoyable meals. The staff were all friendly and Jo the owner took the time to draw up a seat and have a chat which was lovely. The place was busy both times and had a lovely vibe. We will definitely be heading back soon.

Stopped off for a bite to eat and a some drinks with my son and daughter (who is in an electric wheelchair). We went and were met by a look of confusion from the staff when we asked to sit inside. We were told that as.my daughter was in a wheelchair we could not sit at any of the available tables (of which there were 6) due to Covid as we would obstruct access. We asked if a chair could be moved so she could sit at a different table which was completely out of the way. The answer was 'no because of Covid and access but she can sit outside!' As it was hot we went on to the patio area. I ordered the drinks but the girl taking the order was more interested in talking to her friend and asked me three times what my order was. Overall the staff are disinterested and they have obviously never heard of the Equalities Act or are happy to breach it! I suggest that they invest in some training! I will be taking my custom elsewhere in future as this attitude to wheelchairs is outdated.

I used to love it. The food is still lovely but at the moment they close very early so it is a bit pointless in a place which does not have many nice eateries.

We went here for lunch this week. We sat outside with wonderful views of the beach. Social distancing and cleanliness were perfect. The staff were really friendly. We chose tapas dishes which were delicious. The draught beer was perfect too! Thank you for a ideal lunch

This manager Jo needs some mood stabilizers.... We have been in previously and had a nice conversation with her on a personal level.However, our visit this week was completely different!It was a beautiful warm and sunny spring day so we popped in for a quick drink. The outside area was busy with people wanting to enjoy the sun and view.My boyfriend made 2 attempts at conversation with her to be rudely brushed off.I was sitting outside and she stormed around, picked up glasses and loudly saying "I thought people were meant to be staying at home". (Social distancing in place with the coronavirus)I mean you run a bar/restaurant, surely you're happy to have customers?!It was 5pm, she rudely told the lady next to us "for your information, we are shutting at 3pm for the rest of the week".We all agreed we would not return.Felt very VERY unwelcome.

Popped out for coffee and lunch today and was so nice. Great atmosphere, great food and lovely staff. Chicken Caesar salad was amazing (not the first time I’ve had this here) all round a great experience

What a lovely welcoming place to visit, hubby and I went for a walk and popped in for coffee, to was really busy and full up so we decided we would sit outside, the owner took the time to come out and make sure we were ok, great service and lovely staff

On our arrival we was welcomed by a young very friendly girl who showed us to a table ,ordered our drinks and food from the bar. Food was bought to the table by who we found out later was the owner. Food was fantastic price was reasonable,although the the place was very busy,Jo (the owner)found time to sit at the table and tell us a little bit about the restaurant bar and the area..... absolutely fantastic

Met at Millie's for a coffee and then stayed and had some lunch. Food wise we ordered; Prawn Sandwich, Cheesy Nacho's, Whitbait and Swordfish. The food was absolutely superb, couldn't fault the food at all. The coffee, tea and hot chocolate were also superb. The staff are very friendly, efficient and most of all happy. Would highly recommend Millie's to anyone looking for just a coffee to a beautiful lunch.

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.

We have a holiday home in Westgate and visit local restaurants and bars regularly including Millie's .The food is generally good, the drink as you would expect and the staff are also generally very obliging. It's the owner you need to avoid! She can be aggressive and unhelpful. I suspect that all the negative comments on Trip Advisor are referring to encounters with the owner - which is a bit strange, really. As regards dogs, there is a sign that has been long up beside the entrance (up the ramp to the main entrance) that says that dogs are welcome provided they stay on the floor. That is reasonable, in my opinion. Just one other comment: It would be nice if the management (and the management of many other establishments, for that matter) could get a lesson in English grammar. Numerous erroneous apostrophes are incredibly irritating. It's not "toilet's" - it's "toilets", for example.

Very rude, the other negative reviews echo what we experienced. We walked out and found another very pleasant welcoming cafe just up the road that lets dogs in and both the staff and food were lovely

The most miserable woman in the world works here. You’d think to work in a cafe you’d like people....or at the very least find them tolerable. We went on a Saturday morning, prime coffee/brunch time and the place was almost empty-it didn’t take long to find out why. Before we all went in my husband popped in while I waited outside to check it was ok to bring our dogs in and was told that was fine, so I came in with the dogs and the vile old battle axe immediately bore down upon us to let us know our dogs weren’t welcome. I said ok we’ll leave and started to walk out, she then followed me to the door to continue to have a go at me for coming in with the dogs. She then also had a go at my husband for not reading the sign on the door, my husband pointed out that there wasn’t a sign on the door and he had in fact checked with a member of staff and been told it was ok to bring the dogs in, to which she responded he’d come in the wrong door and continued to harangue him as he left. I’m 5 months pregnant and we had our 11 month baby old baby with us, we were just a family looking to go for breakfast, the level of aggression and rudeness was completely unwarranted and I found the experience quite upsetting. We will NEVER return here again, she’s a truly nasty piece of work!

Stopped off after walk along front for coffee had dog with us and knew this place was dog friendly. We hadn’t noticed the sign which stated that dogs couldn’t go in on a Sunday and was quite abruptly told this sternly as we opened door. As we waited for our drinks I watched the blonde waitress stuffing her mouth full of food and chewing it as she walked out orders. Another couple with dogs where then shouted at by another staff member because her dog was on her lap on the outside tables. I won’t be giving this place my money any more that’s for sure. Loads of reviews about staff rudeness on here that I have read and can totally believe after what I witnessed today.

Had lunch today at Millie's bar at Westgate. It was really nice. Good food reasonable prices. Pleasent staff. You can even take your dog.

excellent customer service, great food, very relaxing enviroment on the sea front i would highley recommend millies,

Popped in for breakfast,asked if we could sit down were told to wait rudely by the waitress, another waitress came over shoved a menu in our hands and told us where to go and sit, the floor was covered in food and looked like it obviously hadnt been cleaned in a couple of days, the staff are very rude not friendly at all, but I have to say the breakfast was nice but I won’t be going again I don’t like the attitude of the staff and I’m not impressed with the cleanliness of the place

Had breakfast after walking the dog on a wet windy beach. i had a bacon and egg sandwich and my wife tea cakes plus tea for two. The bread was crusty very fresh with plenty if bacon and eggs, absolutely delicious.My wife said her tea cakes were excellent. All for £10 highly recommend this venue

Don’t bother . This is Danny K’s old gaff. A proper beach caff in the old days. Dropped in for a nostalgic breakfast . They don’t serve breakfast after 11.15. On a Sunday ? Really . How can they sustain this when they have Pav’s next door and westgate bay caff round the corner. It is not just that. It was the rude dismissal after we had cheek to arrive 3 handed at 11.20. It was not exactly packed and strewn with uncleared tables . Thanks but no thanks . Plenty of other options to spend your cash locally

Popped in for Sunday lunch having not booked. The staff could not have been have been more helpful. The food was superb, large portion, hot, we were asked how we wanted the beef cooked, rare etc. The staff were very attentive even though it became very busy.

Returned here for the first roast of the season a few weeks ago and wasnt disappointed. Huge portions, loads of veg and quality meat. Not to mention great puds! Really great value for money!

We visited on Tuesday, took coffee outside the coffee just superb full of flavour and hot , everything else looked delicious the cakes and food being served to other guests , we will return .

We go there fairly regularly when in the area. The owner blows hot or cold and can be quite aggressive. Her opening hours are decidedly flexi making it difficult to plan what we're doing

After a walk along the prom from West Bay this was a lovely place to stop. It was a glorious day and even mid-week was busy (well it was in the kids' summer holidays). I like the ambience of this place and will have to come back for a meal in the evening.

Once again a beautiful lunch with fantastic service and a good price. More than generous portions and, oh my goodness, the dessert cakes!

Went here on Saturday with my daughter, was looking forward to it as I had heard good things..

Loved this cafe/restaurant overlooking the bay. Lovely view. The swordfish was perfectly chargrilled and the accompanying chips were crisp and fluffy. Even the jacket potato was really good. Fast and friendly service. Recommend.

The staff here haven't a clue. Went here for an evening drink. Restaurant not very busy although looked very messy with tables uncleared. Lots of staff around doing nothing but enjoying each other's company plus their friends who had popped in to say hello. We were told to sit down and someone would come and take our order. Nobody came. I went to the bar and ordered. No drinks came. I went up again. The unoccupied waitress realised she had forgotten our order. Unbelievable.

Asked if the halloumi cheese in the veggie burger was vegetarian and the waitress went off to ask someone and then said of course it is its cheese. I explained that that is not always true and asked to see the packaging. Included in the ingredients was rennet which is an animal product, I pointed this out said this should not be sold as a vegetarian product and was met with a 'whatever' attitude. they were very accommodating though and made a' burger' with mushroom, courgette and red pepper which was delicious, the chips and sides were also very good. Was also told that its down to customer to check that something being advertised as a veggie burger was in fact suitable for vegetarians!!! Also there was nothing else on the menu that was vegetarian other than some tapas such as bread and olives.

I wondered if I was reviewing the same restaurant reading other reviews. We came with friends for an evening meal/celebration and the whole experience was first class. Excellent food,service, ambiance. Would definitely recommend give it a try and make your own mind up.

Came here for a family gathering breakfast. Had been told about it from a family member who had sampled a sunset drink and moules and chips! Had no trouble bagging one of the large tables outside with a great view of the beach, service was absolutely fine, unlike previous reviews. However, the food was a bit of a let down. Full English breakfast was greasy and the sausage was poor quality. Very average. Would try an evening meal here just because it was recommended based on an evening event and for the great views. Watch this space!

Advertised closing time is 10 p.m.

Unbelievable that such rude staff are employed in an establishment with nice cake and great sea view, that is until you meet the owner/manager.Abrupt rude service, then no concern about my complaint. Customer service and manners experience are obviously not required on any employees CV to work here. Note to food prep staff. . . front of house let you down.I visited as a tourist, worst experience of my week.

Went in, easy to find a table. Had to collect own menu, staff wiping tables. Ordered food. Fish burger, but only salad type available is leaves, so they kept those off my plate. Why no lettuce? Lunch was ok, but prices have increased dramatically, and did not think it was good value for money.

Visited today and was quite disappointed. I entered Millie's Bar with my elderly disabled mother who is in early stages of dementia.

Arranged to meet family at Millie’s at 11am for breakfast, didn’t realise cut off time was 11.15 we were first to arrive so made the waitress aware that we were expecting others to joins us, then who I thought was the owner came over and said she wouldn’t seat them, I just replied ok what am I supposed to do then x just wish now we have gone pav’s opposite so much more friendly yeah your beans won’t come in a fancy bowl but on the up side you won’t have indigestion for the stress , one last thing my family sat outside it was a cold blustery morning with children and there were flies everywhere on the tables the hand rails, it moving all just sat their it was horrible. on the whole a very poor experience probably the worst Meal of the entire weekend for customer service

I’m not a person who often writes reviews and accepts that any person can have a one off bad day and it shouldn’t reflect the overall opinion of an establishment. We have visited here multiple times over the last year and very much enjoy the environment, especially when sunny, for a drink and to visit the beach.

A nice meal in a lovely location right by the sea. It is a pity that out of season i.e. before the school summer holidays it shuts by 6 p.m. sharp during the week. A limited menu with the emphasis on Tapas although the specials are to be recomended. For a sundowner it is a great place to sit at a weekend when it is open a little later.

Millies is fantastic! Always a lovely view with helpful and polite happy staff. The halumi and meatballs are delicious. Can’t wait until my next visit. See you all again soon x

Visited last night with two friends and a small well behaved king Charles cavalier. We arrived just after six and it was very busy, which was nice to see. Only table available was situated just inside, next to the open doors which lead to the outside seating area (which was also full). We were happy to sit and chat whilst we waited for our order to be taken (approximately 20 minutes). A friendly young waitress apologised for the wait and took down our food and drinks order. After approximately another ten minutes, whilst walking past to take food to another table, the owner stopped at our table and told us abruptly that dogs aren't allowed inside after six, and gestured to a poster which is apparently displayed somewhere in the building. I explained that I have visited twice within the past three months, both times after six and had sat inside and not been told this. She then told me that couldn't have happened, as if I'd made it up! I explained that perhaps it was on nights she herself hadn't been there, but still no apology. The young waitress next to her (who had said nothing whilst taking our order down) looked terribly embarrassed. She then went on to point at the gap behind my friends chair (which was outside) and said the dog could go there, meaning I'd eat my meal with an outstretched arm whilst keeping him on the lead for the duration of our meal. We said we would go somewhere else and were then treated to her storming off saying "whatever" as she went. Apparently what is perfectly OK though, is for the gentleman on the table next to us to be sitting with his chair half inside the restaueand half outside, smoking a cigarette!! Never have any of us experienced such an appalling attitude. A real shame as food is good but will never go back.

We went on a random day out and found this place this morning had a fabulous breakfast went off and return for a late lunch. Lovely food friendly service, we shall be returning here.

Visited this cafe yesterday. NEVER FELT

Unfortunately, the owner really needs a visit from Gordon Ramsay. Hospitality is a calling, and this business is not operated by someone who should answer said call. From a service pount of view, being rude and abrupt is something that can be worked on as it soured the trip & had no problem walking out. Upon paying for drinks, hearing the owner's critiscm of other customers ensures we will not be back. From a business perspective, holding a cover from before 4pm until the booking as 6 is business suicide. Covers need to be turned over & generating revenue at every opportunity.

Place was untidy short staffed and would not recommend. Food nothing special and quite expensive . Nice view of sea but the whole place seemed run down.

A shame Millie’s seems to receive the same reviews over and over again about rude unfriendly staff. Totally unacceptable in the hospitality industry I would recommend they try to turn this around as they are turning away customers. We were just refused breakfast on Sunday at 10.30am as “too busy”. They need to loose the attitude.

We stopped here for a drink and found the staff to be very friendly and efficient. The owner even chatted to us for ages! Lovely location. Could sit and look at the view for ever!

Millie’s is annoying - because it is a lovely location and it would take a few tweaks to improve it SO MUCH.

We came to Millie’s bar to have an afternoon lunch only to be told they stop food at 4 we tried to order at 15:55 and where declined to order food after waiting in the queue for five minutes . When we showed her the time it was 5 minutes before they stopped serving and we where still refused food, we had two young children who had been waiting for something to eat. We are very disappointed in the service that we have been provided today and we will not be coming back or recommend this restaurant to our family and friends. They staff are constantly giving the customers dirty looks after we tried to order and challenged this as it wasn’t near the time of food being stopped.

Possibly the worst service I’ve ever experienced. Rude management and very mediocre food. Such a shame. I’ll never go back

Very puzzled by the reviews here on TA. We were there for my birthday lunch last week and it was our first visit (we live in Whitstable - why have we never heard about this before now!!). Absolutely spot on. On a wet and rainy day the welcome was warm, service wonderful and the food very good. Everything we'd be looking for in a beach bar - only thing missing (on that occasion) was the warm sunshine!. We will very definitely be back in the next few weeks for a repeat performance. Thank you Millie's Bar - job well done.

Live local, third (& last) time we’ve tried - wanted brunch, went in the counter refers you to ladies in bar, got there asked if there was space for 2, there clearly was however chef (who we passed on way in) in the background called “Sadie” and gestured to the girl with a throat cutting movement - nice!

Birthday meal excellent food service a bit slow but would recommend. Very quiet bit would think need book. Excellent venue also for coffee and cake as on sea front. Value for money

Visit westgate every year on the anniversary of my nans death, due to it being her fav place.apart from 1 table full of guests and a reserved table no one else was in there! entered this place 2 buggies, 7 chairs needed! They sat us next too a table full of proper armchairs, and on top of a reserved table, so when the tables guests turned up the young girl then collapsed our table down and told me to move one of my buggies! Had to wait 10 mins for chips because they don’t serve food before 12!... was given an option of J20 ordered blackcurrent... received orange and when said about it was told oh I’ve opened that one now..... End of the day we tried to get a coffee - out of hot drink due to the coffee machine now being turned off at 5:30 when they shut at 6! Ridiculous, crazy, rude service and extreme prices! Will never return!

We literally stumbled across Millie’s Bar as we were walking along the seafront in Westgate. We decided to drop in and eat on our way to the theatre in Margate. Staff were helpful finding us a table inside. Food was great and reasonably priced. I had battered sea bass fillet (a first) and my wife had cod goujons both served with chunky chips and tartare sauce. Both meals were delicious. We will definitely return.

Waited about 15 minutes after ordering and paying for 1 cup of Americano and 1cup of decaf with hot milk. When it arrived, we had cold milk with 1 cup of coloured water which didn't taste remotely of coffee, and 1 cup of extremely strong instant decaf. We couldn't drink either.

I went to Millie’s yesterday with my friends and dog , my first and last visit, I found the staff to be rude and very unhelpful, I went to the cafe opposite called pavs, my god what a difference, so helpful and friendly and I found the food far better than Millie’s, try pavs, and I’m sure you will be so happy you will never use Millie’s again

Lovely evening as always . Excellent food and service . Staff friendly and you not rushed . Spotlessly Clean and inviting Please visit you wont be disappointed. Thank you and well done Millies Bar xx

Met a friend for breakfast the views are amazing and free parking. The menu has something for everyone will visit again the staff I met were lovely.

Had lunch here today with a friend. Had a great table with a good view of the sea. We both had the beef burger which was excellent. My friend had pecan pie which she said was very good & I had the lemon meringue pie. The bottle of Gavi de Gavi was rather good to. We spent over two hours there & weren’t rushed at all. The staff were very pleasant. Looking forward to visiting again especially on a nice summers evening. Would have been 5* except that the meringue on my pudding was not as light as I would like it. Does not put me off eating there again.

Visited early yesterday evening. Really great looking cafe/bar with great outside seating. Ordered drinks and snack food from the cafe. The diet coke tasted like the mixture was wrong. Basically just soda water. Also the food didn't arrive which seemed to be a miscommunication between staff.

I love this place! The view is great, the food is good and the atmosphere is delightful. The staff that work here are always greeting me with a smile, and the food is always SOOO good! I have had one bad experience here but it wasn’t with the food or drink, my Nan and I were here for celebratory drinks and sat at a table for about an hour (food and 2 rounds of drinks brought) my Nan upped for the loo quick while I was still eating and noticed a sign being placed on the table I was sat on by on of their young staff but I wasn’t acknowledged.. I looked at the sign and (the time was 2.45) there was a reservation at 3.. this made me feel a little uncomfortable as there was no problem that we needed to leave or move table but to be told would be nice, respectful and common courtesy? Anyway.. apart from that I love it here and I can’t fault it any other way! I highly recommend and it’s a great asset to Westbrook beach!

We regularly pop in for a drink and more recently food. The burgers are excellent and much better than I would have expected. We recently had the Sunday Roast. I had Beef and my wife had the Pork. Both were cooked nicely and there was plenty of food. The owners have got the balance just right to cater for the casual dog walker to someone wanting a little more. Good luck to you all.

Walked here from Margate at low tide, played frisbee and explored the beaches on the way, during the hottest Feb day on record. Nice pint, designer Gin& Tonic, Good coffee, kids menu burger was good. Seared Tuna and salad was tasty but let down by being overcooked to my taste. My own fault for not double checking the way it was cooked as I tend to expect seared tuna rare, but with lemon was fine. If anyone from management is reading, perhaps use pitted olives.

My husband and I took a long walk along the beach front and just arrived at Millies Beach Bar which looked a great place for lunch and so my husband I walked in and stood at the bar to ask for a menu.. After being ignored for the best part of 5 minutes and the last glass the lady was drying was done we were finalĺy acknowledge. No smile. No hello. So we asked to see a menu. Not difficult you would have thought. The women server said you can see a menu but there are no tables in here. We wanted to eat outside and there were empty tables!!! After that rather abrupt greeting and such rudness it rather put me off eating in Millies so we went to the old fashioned cafe across the road where we were served with a smile. I really wish i could review the food which im sure will be good. That's if we ever come back.

We both just had a jacket spud with egg mayonnaise, but it was really delicious with a lovely salad. The staff were all friendly and to top of the brilliance of this place it's dog friendly during the day.

Ate here on Sunday for my mums birthday and the roast did not disappoint! We were so impressed! I had gammon and it was literally ‘melt in your mouth’. Excellent value for money.

My husband, Ian and I visit Millie's regularly , for drinks and food

Thank you for letting me bring a group of friends to a private party on New Years Eve. The buffet was excellent and the service and hospitality was exceptional. We really had a fantastic night. Unfortunatly a couple of uninvited guests turned up and said they were part of our party but i had no idea who they were! I dont think they were pleased to be asked to leave. Thankyou Joanne and your excellent team of staff for a great NYE 2018. I wish you the best of luck for 2019

Beautiful place for food and drinks but will never go back due to the ride woman that owns the place, needs lessons in politeness

I have never in my life experienced someone so rude or so unapproachable, the female who owns this place is sadly very quickly being known locally for her good food and outstandingly rude manners. So she has a good chef and thinks that entitles her to be blatantly rude to customers!!! I will never go back to this place and since visiting have heard lots of others say the same. If you want good food with a smile, find another venue as sadly that won't happen here :(

Lovely place but the woman owner or manager is so rude. Read on Westgate matters so many people won't go back there as she is just awful. I agree have not been back, what a shame.

Millie's looks lovely and is in a fantastic location as well as being walking distance from our house.

After a long beach walk with the dog along the sandy coast from Westgate to Margate, we stopped at Millie's Beach cafe at St Mildrids bay.

Very good overall impressed We called in for a quick lunch and was served promptly by a young friendly waitress which helped our first impression our sandwiches were great value and the tea and coffee were just right Will definitely visit again

I brought my children aged 5 and 7 for lunch a few days ago. The food was amazing, especially the chocolate brownies, and the staff were extremely attentive, friendly and patient. I will definitely be returning soon

I celebrated my 70th birthday party at Millie's Bar last weekend and had a wonderful night. The setting was perfect and the owner Jo laid on a wonderful buffet full of fresh delicious bites that went down a treat. I had a Motown singer Uche Eke who was fantastic and added to the atmosphere of this perfect setting. Jo made sure my family and I were looked after and had a great night! Thank you. Tina X

Smily attentive staff, great location, lovely interior, fantastic views...

Yummy breakfast and fantastic location. Brilliant addition to westgate. I've also had dinner here which was great too, so nice watching the sunset with a glass of wine.

Now the beaches are empty and most of the beach huts gone. Thankfully Millie's is still open and will be all winter. Quality as good as ever and spotlessly clean including the toilets.

We went here on the recommendation of friends and we are so glad we did! The weather was not great but wherever we sat we had an amazing view of the beach.

Awful service.... I sat down and waited 10 mins, no member of staff acknowledged me, despite a middle aged woman member of staff walking past me twice. She was more interested in cutting lemons at the bar than attending to the people that pay her wages. So, I got up and walked out. Hope it goes bust sometime soon, it deserves to. Shame I have to give it 1 star, as that is over rating it.

Came with friends for breakfast a couple of weeks ago. Very enjoyable. Decided it would be a great place to bring my son and his girlfriend who were visiting soon after.

Lovely birthday breakfast with friends which lasted until lunchtime so we decided to have a bottle of prosecco....breakfast was amazing....staff very friendly and fantastic views of the sea.

Nice place Service is slow and it's very hard to catch a waitresses attention Order was wrong but quickly corrected but without any apology Food was ok
