First of all I had problems categorising this place. If a restaurant, I couldn't decide of what kind -I don't think it would be flattering for the British if it were one of theirs. So I just labelled it as a 'cafe' ... With the awful regret that I'm damaging the meaning of this word.
Poppins Restaurants are supposed to serve multi-choice menu and separate childrens menus -delicious range of meals, snacks, desserts and beverages.
Now here's my experience about the one in the small town of Dartford, Kent.
This venue was so ridiculously grotesque that I can't hate it.
The staff greeted us with open arms -when they saw me and my friends approaching the door. It felt good. We sat down at a table and after short deliberation we decided to order a hot chocolate, an ice tea, and vanilla ice-cream with chocolate sauce. The waiter seemed slightly confused about the ice tea -but then he said Well, we have ice, we have tea. I'll bring it to you in a minute!. We thought he was joking. Funny guy!
Actually, he wasn't. My friend received a cup of hot tea and a big glass of water with some ice cubes in it Isn't this what you wanted?! We were shocked and couldn't decide whether it's appropriate to burst into laughter or not.
I'm a huge fan of ice-creams -I can eat plenty of it even if it's not the best quality. But this one actually tasted better after adding to it a bit of salt, pepper, and some vinegar
But congrats for the hot chocolate!
When we wanted to pay, the till wouldn't open, and all three members of staff were struggling to deal with it. It was hilarious. We left tips! I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for that. read more
