I stopped off at the old curiosity shop cafe with my family and our friends. It ended up being a very bizarre experience. We ordered simple things an egg sandwich, a few toasties for the kids, a brie and bacon sandwich, and a salmon and cream cheese bagel. Most of it didn’t need cooking. We were told it was a 25 minute wait for food which was fine. It took 40 minutes to even get the drinks. We were told the food was coming. After over an hour of waiting, with 3 very grumpy and hungry kids, and a few polite requests as to when our sandwiches would come out, some of them eventually did. The guy who brought them out dropped the Brie and bacon one on the floor. Accidents happen and usually it wouldn’t remotely be a problem, but we’d had enough so asked if we could get a refund for the floor sandwich and the final one we were still waiting for, which we were told had been brought out already so it seems to have been lost between the kitchen and where we were sitting outside. My friend went inside for the refund as by this point, we’d been waiting for basic sandwiches for an hour and 20 minutes, with no apology or acknowledgement that this probably wasn’t an ok amount of time. Even the refund seemed to take a long time. Insane. So after all that, some of us didn’t even get fed. I love Broadstairs and have been going there since I was a kid. We won’t be going back to this place again the next time we visit.
As a coeliac I asked if there was anything that was gluten free and was told by the young lady there was nothing. I saw the sign on the till desk saying to ask the staff about allergens. So I asked again, thinking there must be something. I asked if the burgers had wheat in and she couldn’t tell me because they ‘ had thrown the packet away’ so there was no allergens list for things on the menu. I asked if she had any jacket potatoes on the go and settled for that. I would have left with nothing if it was up to the young lady serving. I went to meet up with friends that I hadn’t seen for ages. One of whom recommended it. (I have fond memories of this shop as a child) There’s no point having a notice saying ask the staff about allergens if they don’t know what’s in the food they are serving. I was left a little underwhelmed and disappointed.
Our group stopped here for lunch. The prices seemed reasonable and the order at the counter for four sandwiches and teas was taken quickly. The cafe was fairly quiet so they weren't busy. Drinks were served after about 15 mins, so not a good start. After waiting another 30 mins or so we asked when the sandwiches would be ready. On their way was the reply! Another 15 mins passed. No food. Still on their way apparently. Drinks were either drunk or cold after almost an hour. The server then asked what bread we'd like on the sandwiches, so clearly not on their way!!! When they did arrive no apology at all was offered. Awful service. Needless to say, we'll not be visiting again.
