Downham gave this dramatic account of what happened, and the restaurant replied swiftly by accusing her of being melodramatic and malicious. A spokesperson for the restaurant also explained that the incident was likely caused by renovations at the building above the restaurant and said they are ensuring the problem is being taken care of.
Louissa, 22, said: “We had sat down and started eating and I heard weird noises coming from above that I thought might be a pigeon.”
“My partner heard squeaks and thought it was a mouse,” she continued.
“Suddenly this massive black rat fell down about six inches away from his lap and ran off.
“We started screaming and ran away, it was such a massive shock and my partner is scared of animals too.
“Even the bar staff saw it and screamed. We've been there a few times for Valentine's Day and it's always been fine.”itting.The Water Palace Chinese restaurant in Sittingbourne, Kent, has apologised over the rat surprise.
After multiple apologies, the restaurant spokesperson said they would no longer be replying. They also stressed that this was the only such incident since the restaurant's opening in 2005 and that they are closing the restaurant until the renovations are complete as a precaution. We hope the situation gets resolved soon, because an incident like that and the resulting negative publicity could really hurt business!
