Joe’s Review…

Viewers to this website will know that I make frequent references to Miss Mollet’s High Class Tea Room in Appledore between Ashford and Tenterden and I make no apology for doing so!

It is fantastic and owners, sisters, Alexandra and Frances are lovely people who really do know how to present and run an English Tea Room of the highest standard.

I visited the premises for years when it was known as ‘High Class Junk’ and a bargain or two could be found there. Nowadays, it is a tea room and how very pleased I am that it is!

People laugh at me, particularly children, when I they ask me what my favourite colour is. When I tell them that it is pink, they don’t believe me. Well, it is and I don’t care what people think.

Miss Mollett’s is decorated with pink walls and tea related crafts are on sale there. Tables have lovely traditional style table cloths and the bone china tea cups are already on the table awaiting for the tea to be poured inside. Little traditional spoons are used and the feel really is a special one. Outside seating is also offered and is a delight and you are sitting outside looking at this quaint little village. Time just passes away...

I tend to visit Miss Mollett’s on Wednesday’s between 3 and 3.30pm which is not a good time really, as I have a toasted teacake, homemade jam and a pot of tea of course, but I can’t stay long as I have to drive to Ashford to teach a class of children later in the afternoon, so occasional visits at the weekend for lunch is lovely. Incidentally, Miss Mollett’s also provide a top up water pot alongside your pot of tea which is rare in a Kentish tea room.

Pies, salads, quiche, smoked salmon, smoked mackerel all homemade are on the menu, as are a selection of cakes. Specialist teas are also offered to the delight of Sandra.

I am hoping that Alexandra and Frances will open the tea room for me especially one day, so that I can take an interviewer and a professional camcorder and feature Miss Mollet’s in video format on this website and You Tube and be my first video feature tea room, but I have not had the courage to ask yet, but I will. However in the meantime I will introduce you to another song , a suggestion of Sandra's who learnt to dance a cha cha cha to it at the age of 4.

STATUS

Rarely do I personally provide a Highly Recommended English Tea Room but Miss Mollett’s deserves this recognition and to really appreciate what I have said, pop along, take a party of people, take lunch and enjoy yourselves and at the same time, say ‘hi’ for me.

Final words: A proper English Tea Room with waitress service. Well done to Alexandra and Frances.
