Little Lew’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Maidstone

Very disappointed! It’s like we went to a completely different place than everyone else who left these great reviews. We booked for 1pm and had confirmation to say they look forward to seeing us. So far so great! Then we got there… The waitress or manager whoever she was.. straight off the bat was acting as if us coming was an inconvenience constantly making comments about the time saying how her colleague should never have booked us in at 1pm and that we need to hurry up and order etc.. made me feel uncomfortable straight off the bat. Then at 1:30pm she VERY RUDELY started moving around all the tables and scraping the chairs along the floor sooo loudly it was ridiculous completely off putting I couldn’t even hear myself think!! Not one attempt to LIFT them or apologise for the ruckus.. nothing. At 1:40 she got the mop out and by that point my partner and I were soo annoyed we went outside in the cold and rain to eat the rest of our food there because of how horrible she made the environment inside. Really really disappointed. She lacked any sort of awareness of us - honestly couldn’t believe it worst dining experience ever. You need to learn some basic skills because what we got yesterday was complexly unacceptable and clearly from the reviews isn’t the normal so I don’t know what’s gotten into you but sort it out quickly. Will NEVER visit again and will tell all my friends and family to give this place a miss too - unless they also want to be treated like...

Visited for afternoon tea and was left disappointed. The quality of the selection was poor, and I don't think anything was homemade, bar the sandwich. Just four small finger sandwiches per person was underwhelming. For the price I would have expected more.

From looking at previous reviews it really does look like we (and our dog) have been left short changed. We've seen homemade flapjacks and sausage rolls posted on google; nothing on our plate. Our doggy afternoon tea looked great, but again it looks like plenty more of a selection was available for others.

Dated decor and in need of a facelift. We came with high expectations and feel there is real opportunity with this cafe, but left...

I had such a nice experience here this afternoon. Dog friendly doesn't cover it. Let my pup in and gave her free treats and all. The lady who owns it was so friendly, made us up whatever we wanted. I had peanut butter on toast which was chunky proper bread and proper peanut butter. My friend had avo on toast with seeds and chilli oil. Finished it off with some Victoria sponge (all cakes vegan!) They also sell a selection of sandwiches and salads, toasted paninis and such. My coffee was really good too. I'll definitely be returning. Oh also the background music was spot on. My new favourite...
