Louie On Sea — Restaurant in Thanet

Took my partner for lunch but sadly I was refused service because I only pay with cash. This is a narrow minded approach to business and will only alienate your customers. People should have a choice as most other local businesses have no issues with cash.

I fear the day the secret recipe gets out, for I worry the world is not ready for such an explosion of deliciousness.

Lovely settings too, with deckchairs you could easily fall asleep on.

A must-visit when in Margate — and don’t forget to try the...
