Angela (owner) is not only incapable of running a bar and takes any opportunity to cut corners putting customers and sometimes staff in genuine risk. But also is a horrible human being who emotionally abuses her staff, refuses to accept any blame for her mistakes and takes all her frustrations out on the people around her. Angela requires professional help and needs to have any business associated with her closed. The following is a list of multiple instances of Angelas poor management, abuse and terrible standards: - [ ] Hires teenagers with no experience and then complains they have no experience - [ ] Replaced belvadire with some cheap off brand - [ ] E+J apple is courvisier and cactus Jack apple - [ ] Bombay sapphire is Gordon’s - [ ] Up charged a table that ordered old fashioneds their tab was £100 Angela added over £50 - [ ] Claimed I stole her keys to try and get me to come back and “pat me down” and when I told them where they are she said I had to get them. I told her to do it herself so she said she’s docking all my pay to cover it (£200+) - [ ] Re uses straws, cocktail sticks, uneaten fruit - [ ] Had a go at me for throwing out purée that was so bad I almost threw up when tasting it - [ ] A lot of products are out of date - [ ] Once tasted a drink that had been drank by a customer to test it it was made right, it tasted “off” to her so she shouted at all of us for it. It had ice in it which had melted - [ ] Rarely replaces stock even when I write it down multiple times via text, and on our diary - [ ] Takes credit for all work done and gives no praise or recognition, once myself and a coworker cleaned the whole place top to bottom making it look 10x better than it usually does and she proceeded to tell everyone she did it all - [ ] Ridiculed privy workers including myself because loft made more money and we weren’t getting customers. As if we were the reason - [ ] Takes half the pay off of your first shift for “training” however in my (and most people’s) first shift I did not see her until the last minute. At no point did she ever teach me anything. - [ ] On my last day I told her there was a table coming in at 8:30pm that had specifically requested me to work. So she moved me to loft that day to do pointless busy work - [ ] Tried to fire me after I asked for a pay rise to meet the wage of the new hire with less experience than me, backtracked and said we would discuss it. Avoided me for a whole week and then cut his pay to mine - [ ] Talks with food in her mouth which is just gross - [ ] Multiple customers have expressed to me how much they dislike her and even just her presence made them uncomfortable, many customers have walked out on her arrival I also have many photos showing some of the disgusting things she deems to be okay, but I am not sure of the legality of posting these so I have not attached them

Beware! They have employed a very aggressive private firm to police their car park. It is not pay and display and it is easy to miss that registration inside the pub is now necessary. I have been going there off and on for years when no registration was required but the last time it cost me ÂŁ100 because I did not see the new system. The company demanding the money were implacable. That was for 20 minutes of parking. Pretty hefty for a cup of coffee on the way to the Canterbury Hospice. I will never go to the Old Gate again, that is certain.

We weren't made very welcome from the get go. As soon as we sat down to order, I was informed I could only have half a lager with my dinner instead of a pint I asked for because the manager had told her we could only have halves and single measures. When I asked why they told me it was company policy when dining with a small child. We just felt judged straight away, my burrito meal was tiny and I finished it before my wife's burnt pie and oven chips turned up. Absolutely appalling and has put a dampener on our stay at the premier inn. Hopefully the next Three nights are better but there is no way I am using that bar and restaurant again. Dreadful.

Ordered on a Friday night with a group of friends, so this was quite a large order and took a bit of time to arrive, but this was expected. We ended up reading the bad reviews after we ordered which made us nervous. However, the food was lovely, hot and fresh. The crispy chilli beef was crispy. The chicken balls weren't oily. The sauces were tasty and not too overpowering. We ordered rice, chow mien and vermicelli noodles, spring roles and some meat and vegetarian dishes and everything was delicious.

Please order if you prefer a flavourless meal that is way overpriced, granted the crispy duck was nice but the chow main and sweet and sour sauce tastes like slimey water enjoy your meal đź‘Ť Ignore that just gone in for a second try of the duck and it's awful 1/4 of duck fat worst takeaway we have ever had.

Ordered 2 chicken & mushroom pies and 1 large chips. The chips were very hard and chewy - couldn't bite through them, some were undercooked in the middle. They tasted horrible, either re-cooked or cooked in old oil. The pies were extremely hard on top - couldn't bite through the pastry and soggy on the bottom. Will not be returning. No wonder there wasn't anyone else in the shop, it used to be so good and always busy when previous owners were there.
