Deal Beach Parlour - Dover

Not given to writing poor reviews but needs must. Only ordered two Mr Whippy ice-creams but the girl behind the counter got the order wrong! The card reader was thrown down. Has the card been accepted? A grunted response. Nothing positive to say and spoiled a lovely day. There are plenty of places to go where you might be treated with some respect. Or, at the very least, with politeness. And, to top it all, the ice-cream ended up in the bin because the appalling service had left a bad taste in the mouth.

I 've been coming here for over 20 years ' and I have in all that time been served courteously and with good grace. The Pannini has changed and when we asked we were told in a really rude Don 't eat it then... such charming manners and just a little thought or kinder response. The waitess did not look like she wanted to be there. The food has gone up in price and the bread style was doughy. Won 't be going back so sadly the end of an era.

I have to say Deal Beach Parlour is a lovely café over looking the English Channel Just along from Deal Pier. The new upgrade is awesome and I love the fresh vibrant colours along with the new Serving area, A wonderful selection of different Ice-Cream flavours, Cakes along with hot and cold meals, one thing I did notice was that DBP is spotlessly clean and presents itself well, when I visit any café I always check out the toilets (Spotless) that speaks for itself the staff are very professional and cater for all needs. I noticed an Ice-Cream Clock on the wall which is awesome too. All in all with our experience they get 5 s, a very happy family indeed we will be going there again.

I was dumbstruck when I walked in after couple of months absence to see what they have done to the decor of my previously favourite Deal eating place. The cosy traditional ice cream parlour ive loved for many years now sports bland white tiles and bare walls. Furthermore, they've taken my favourite toastie, cheese and beans, off the menu. And my hot dog came with dried crispy onions rather than fried ones. Oh dear, a sad day indeed.

Visited today with my Family for a coffee and snack , great enviroment, smashing Toasties . Great catering for the little people with fun milkshake bottle and ice cream dish . Very fair prices making it a great pit stop ,Friendly smart staff,will most certainly return .Oh and immaculate toilet facilities! A credit to the owner .
