Janes Restuarant in East Devon

This was our first visit to Lyme Regis and after having a little look around we were all getting a little hungry so we decided to stop off at Jane's Cafe on the parade. There were five of us and we all shared two boxes of cheesy chips together, I can't comment on the drinks that the others had but the cheesy chips were very nice. Good position sizes although could have been a little bigger but the chips were nice and there was plenty of grated cheese on top - I expect it would have been even better if it was melted slightly! There were plenty of places to sit and eat with nice views over the beach. The only negative comment from a family member was that the staff were a little slow serving the drinks but the food was ready pretty quickly and it was hot which was the main thing! A good little place to stop for a quick drink and something to eat.....

This is a lovely little cafe by the sea and close to the harbour with great views and friendly staff. I only had a cup of tea but the food looked and smelt good too.

This isn't a proper chippy. Check the photos of other users and you'll see straight cut chips, and small pieces of fish. If you're after cafe food, fine, but keeping going if you want proper chips. The chips were bland, the fish watery and thin.

From joining the take out queue to receiving the food it took 55 minutes and wasn’t worth waiting for. Staff were friendly but overwhelmed.

Dreadful and overpriced food! Chips were dry and sausage burnt! £8!! I wasn’t with my husband when he collected but I certainly would have asked for my money back. Had to throw half of it away.

Lovely cafe on the beachside at Lyme Regis.Tables inside and out and umbrellas on the outside tables so you dont get wet if it rains.Large menus with prices on the tables.The boxes on the tables contain cutlery,vinegar,sauces and serviettes.Most of the menu can be Gluten Free and the chips are anyways.Lovely staff and quick service.I think the outside tables are the best with the view across the harbour and bay and hustle and bustle of the people going by.We had the cheesy chip,pot of tea and americano coffee.Highly recommended.There are public toilet 100 yards away in both directions.Parking nearby at Monmouth Beach.

Waited 45 minutes to then be told that they forgot my order. The young girl taking the orders needs training in customer service. Still waiting for my refund to go through. After waiting that long they still charged me for my drinks, they didn’t offer anything for the inconvenience. If they looked after there customers in a better way the review would be different

We had a late breakfast at Jane's cafe. Bacon bap was yummy and full of bacon which is always good! Reasonably priced, only thing I would say is we did wait quite a while for our order but the cafe did take a couple of biggish orders before ours but wasn't particularly busy. Was worth the wait and I always think if you are waiting you know its cooked fresh 😊 service from the young waiters was pleasant and friendly. We will return if in the area again!

Very average food. Service was hit and miss also with no less than 3 servers helping out. They all appeared to not know what was going on. A very nice location right on the beach however this was also let down by no bill and in the end overpaying for what we had.

Popped in for lunch with the family. It is what is says on the tin, cafe food. No complains about the quality of the food. The service was pleasant, have a very young team and they were working hard. Only feedback is, when the staff were in and out of the kitchen, till and restock area which is all very close together yet there was one chap who kept shouting for staff to clear tables and take out food. “table 9”. Luckily I found it amusing however i don’t think it was necessary as I’m sure his colleagues were standing right next to him. Just a note, it may be busy outside but please be aware of the guests inside too.

Had takeaway from here. Wish I had not. Disappointed with portion size, fat needed changing, fish small and over cooked too small for cod.

Popped in recently for a coffee, and landed up have a bowel of chips. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I asked if it was possible for me to have an ice-cream from their take-away next door and one of the staff members kindly got this for me. Worth a visit.

quite basic but nice people and lovely food, we had the cream tea and can highly recommend - the scones are freshly baked and still warm, lovely but had to share as they were quite a size so recommend one cream tea between two.

Great location, beside the sea with tables outside. Friendly, efficient staff and good simple food - you know the sort, ham n eggs, fish n chips, beans, peas, buttered rolls etc. All well cooked and filling and fairly priced.

Seafront Cafe, food served in very good time considering how busy they were, young inexperienced staff led by a clearly more than capable owner. Not a single thing to be negative about. Food was very well presented. Best thing I saw was a young girl approach, a young 12 maybe with her friend appeared and asked for a glass of water, she looked like she needed it, and the Chinese lad duly got her one, she really looked like it did her the world of good and I imagined if that was my kid, we all know how daft they are, I hope this can be relayed back and that all Staff would have done the same….ironically we were charged for bottled water when 2 of the 4 had tap water but no biggie it happens but giving the young girl the water without question made me so happy.

The breakfast me and my girlfriend had was simply lovely, absolutely gorgeous. All props go to the chef. However everyone else seemed miserable. First of all the owner Jane. I tried to compliment her on the food and she almost just shrugged her shoulder at...

Beautiful day so we decided to eat outside at Jane's. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. Fish and Chips and Scampi and chips. Probably the best meal we had all week. Freshly cooked and plenty of flavour. As fast as the tables emptied...

We arrived on Lyme Regis front and thought we would grab a couple of icecreams, we came across what seems a nice little place called Janes Cafe and grabbed just that and a couple drinks, we took a seat on the benches just outside, covered...

Great food as usual, staff lovely as normal. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Good quality food for reasonable prices. Always worth a visit. Best cream tea,warm scones & plenty of tea.

Visited a few times, full breakfast a couple times ,.cream tea scones very good Always enjoyed the food sitting outside right by the beach watching the world go by BLISS

We stopped at Janes cafe Lyme Regis for a well earned cuppa and chose to have a piece of cake to accompany, why not, shame not to, I decided on the chocolate fudge cake with clotted cream and ice cream split, oh my the taste...

Friendly staff. Classic selection of seaside favorites overlooking the beach. We found a little shaded spot to sit and watch the world go by. Cracking cream tea at a great price. Scones were excellent and served warm which is always a deal breaker. Took hygiene...

Perfect spot right on the beach. That’s where the positives end. Took an hour to receive our breakfast. Which, on arrival was luke warm. We had long finished our drinks so had nothing to drink with the breakfast, no offer of a complimentary drink at...

Not vegetarian friendly! Visited here with my mum who has a shellfish allergy. Upon questioning what she could order, they told us that the vegetarian sausages are cooked in the same fat as the pork sausages. As a Muslim woman I can’t eat this -...

Visited today for breakfast today Staff friendly , but had to wait over half an hour for breakfast , had the big breakfast from the menu £8:99 the mushrooms were burnt poor size portions food was tasteless shame lovely views over the beach

Turned up Tuesday lunchtime..closed...couldn't see any opening times..came back next day at 4pm..just closed.. families being turned away at a peak time who were looking to feed their kids..I visit every year normally...never again will I make a special journey..😫😡 this was peak time in...

We entered this little cafe looking for a cream tea but what we found was a narcissistic cafe owner trying to reinforce social distancing rules, the problem is this narcissistic woman was trying to inforce it with a group of 6 people on the same...

Fabulous on the beach cafe. Warm welcome, family feel. Lots of Covid precautions but appropriate. Lovely food, recommend cream tea and sausage bap!!

Nice setting right on sea front. Had burger, chips, peas, cuppa. Reasonable price, quick service, smiling staff.

nice staff...scrupulous cleaning of tables.....good value...highly recommended for a chilled out holiday treat

Oh Dear! What a motley crew! Superb view but sadly staff that have very limited ability to interact with customers and make this experience in anyway enjoyable! All menus must be face down once your order is placed and you are reminded sharply of this,...

We ordered two cod and chips and when they turned up they looked horrible curled up and burnt but we thought we'd give them a try big mistake rock hard burned batter the bits of cod you could find were about two eighth of an...

We visited the cafe on a busy Monday lunch time. We couldn't get a seat so settled for a take away. We wish we hadn't of bothered it was absolutely vile !!. I placed the order and had to wait 35 minutes for the food....

Lovely cafe right near the beach. Good selection of food and drink. The staff are so friendly and polite. Hygiene is the best we have seen since being on holiday. Everything sanitized to 100% excellent

Nice food. Great quick service. Fairly priced. Had the English breakfast and some Orange juice. Thanks

Visited a couple of times, fish and chips oap price can be used at any age(waitress told me) so its a good price. I tried the cheesy chips but the cheddar was not to my taste as very mild so not much flavour, personal choice...

Excellent attention to covid restrictions which to be honest didn't stop us from having a lovely relaxing lunch. At this point I must thank the staff who are clearly working flat out to make your visit safe and pleasant. It's a cafe, but the quality...

Greeted by the gent at entrance, who then showed us to our table. COVID safety was clearly priority as you had to scan in via app or name / contact details taken upon entry. Each table was thoroughly cleaned between guests with steaming hot water...

This must be the best place to get a cup of dorset tea in the country,the staff are friendly and excellent covid precautions.

Ate here last week and was very disappointed! Didn’t wait for too long but when our food arrived it was barely warm. I had the fish and chip which at £11.00 is over the top (I own a chip shop so I know) for frozen...

Sat for an afternoon tea. When it came the scones were really dark burnt looking. So sent them back . Lady returned with all the scones are bought in and all the scones are that colour. I think you need to change your scone supplier

So it was a busy weekend the first out of lockdown and the town was full. We were pleased to find somewhere which didn’t need bookings and the wait wasn’t too bad. Great location almost on the beach and the cafe food was good. Watch...

Very friendly waiting staff and good covid procedures in place. Long wait to order and long wait for food to arrive which was surprising as only 3 tables in use. My partner had the fish and chips and unfortunately found an object inside the fish....

We went to Jane's on two occasions impressed by the cleanliness of the place.The staff worked really hard to clean every table thoroughly and go through all safety protocols.Staff very efficient and friendly. Fish and chips good too and Devon apple cake.Been to several other...

Great food at reasonable prices. Very friendly and efficient staff. Superb for masks, distancing, food delivery and clean down - the best we have seen during our 4 days in Dorset

We enjoyed our takeaway fish and chips sitting on the nearby Cobb overlooking the harbour. Portions were good and prices reasonable.

I must admit it was clean but then it should be because of Covid and that’s where the good bit ends. I had the scampi and the wife had the sausage and chips, when it arrived I was shocked at the size of the portions...

Always enjoy our visits to Lyme and first time at this cafe. Good points.The young man who served us was charming and polite.The tea was good and the baps not bad although the bacon not cooked sufficiently for me. The lady Boss however was almost...

Visited towards the end of the day so nice and quiet in the cafe. Showed to a table by friendly chap and noticed chips on the floor. I appreciated it was the end of the day but its not too much bother to pick up...

Really covid safe, lovely food and attentive friendly staff. Good allergy awareness and dog friendly. What more could you ask.

Myself and my two young children spent a lovely morning down at the beach, I decided to treat them to a bite to eat and drink before we headed home again. Now I realise the public are not always easy to deal with (having been...

Good little cafe on the seafront, lots of selection for breakfasts and snacks, always seems to be busy so that says alot

Quick stop, had homemade tomato soup which is the best tomato soup I have ever tasted and a roll. just 4 ponds but soooooo nice....

When to Lyme Regis and myself and my wife both desided to go for fish and chips, we did order it at a busy time but to wait half an hour for fish and chips when to be far the que was very small, size...

Had the seniors fish and chips but didn’t have time to eat it as you are constantly bombarded by seagulls, pinched my fish off my plate told by staff nothing we can do and still charged full price, staff very unhelpful.

I rarely review places but I experienced such rude service here when ordering drinks and food to take away that I feel I really should share it with other potential visitors. The lady behind the takeaway counter was so rude, condescending and unhelpful that it...

The overall place was well decorated but I didn’t enjoy my food as the sausages poor quality and were rubbery and dry. my hot chocolate was warm but tasted nice, the staff were well mannered except for one girl waitress was miserable and acted like...

Awful very overcooked warmed up cheap sausage and frozen chips, woman who seemed to be in charge was awful to staff, one waitress was very grumpy and seemed like she didnt want to be there, all the young male staff were very pleasant, definitely will...

Poor Quallity, the sausage tasted like it was Microwaved, the milkshakes was very nice, but the sausage let it down all together the service was okay apart from it was a dull mood.

Doing a real great job, during difficult times. Serve fab cappuccinos, felt very safe sitting outside. 10/10

Poor quality chips and very small portions after 40min wait .. staff didnt care. Plus massive long que

My husband and I visited today and ordered 2 adults and 5 children’s meals in the outside seating area. As soon as the food arrived a seagull did a huge soggy poo right on the table next to my 10 year old daughter. It splashed...

The staff explained all new rules well and were friendly. Great view, with a reduced menu. I asked but couldn't add a fried egg to my order? My wife had fish and chips and was pleased. I had bacon and sausage bap with a side...

The food was actually quite nice but the staff are very rude. I understand that people are scared of Covid and certain measures need to be in place. However that doesn’t mean you need to be rude and act like everyone has the plague! The...

Ordered homemade soup & roll, hubby had scampi & chips. Service was quick and staff fairly friendly. Homemade tomato soup lovely but very small portion, roll was a cheap white burger bap (would have been great to have a fresh crusty roll) and had to...

Some mixed reviews on here, so i'm guessing it varies depending on who's cooking!!!! We stopped here for some takeaway chips, it took ages & ages & ages for them to be cooked, but at least that meant they were being cooked fresh. Luckily once...

We had senior fish and chips which includes tea or coffee, just the right sized portion and it does not matter how old you are! Great value for money with fish coked in lovely crisp batter. As someone who likes to eat their food from...

topped here for breakfast with friends, the breakfasts were excellent and the service very good the staff were friendly and attentive will definitely use again!

The cafe is well situated for views of beach, bay and to one side Lyme's pretty little harbour. The menu is quite varied, from snacks to full-plate meals, and even OAP meals were not skimpy. Our lunches (battered cod, beef chilli) were nicely cooked, tasty,...

We received a genuinely warm welcome. Drinks were served straight away and the breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty.. They have thought of everything and provided a box containing cutlery and sauces etc. When it started to rain they very quickly helped us inside...

Called into Jane's Cafe for some lunch. Food was decently priced for the amount you received so was very happy with that. The only thing that I would comment on is that the Staff look and act as if they don't care about their job...

First day of our holiday and Lyme was busy - good weather and the food festival. Stopped at Jane’s with our dog. Was lucky enough to get a table outside. Food good, service excellent.

What’s better than a cream tea right next to the beach, well try here a fabulous cream tea, umbrellas up to keep those naughty sea gulls at bay and excellent service, fresh hot water to top up your pot and huge scones even lay on...

We stopped here for breakfast after a walk along the beach on our last day of holiday. Lovely clean café with very friendly staff. Plenty of seats to sit inside or out. The food was really good and nothing was too much trouble for the...

I ordered a coronation chicken salad for around £6.50. When it arrived there was a very small pot of coronation chicken in the middle of a plate of shredded iceberg lettuce garnished with tomatoes and slices of cucumber that had been left lying around for...

Excellent food, served quickly by very friendly staff. We originally sat outside, when it started to drizzle a member of staff ushered us inside. Good service and good value.

Service here was friendly and we were made to feel welcome. Between us, we enjoyed a sandwich, chips and an ice cream - all were very nice. The cafe is in a great location next to the beach, and as we visited on a hot...

Went there by chance after looking at the prices in the restaurants on the way to town and came back to a full cafe thought we would try and were not disappointed prices are fair large fish and chips is two large pieces and could...

Me and my family went here at the start of the summer holidays, big mistake! The food took ages to arrive, and what did arrival was awful. We ordered 4 kids meals of sausage and chips. The portions were so small. One cheap burnt sausage...

The food was fabulous and the service second to none. We were made to feel very welcome and the relaxed.

12 of us had a very late lunch here today. Wonderful spot with very friendly and attentive staff. Bearing in mind how many of us there were it really didn’t take that long for our food to come out and it all came at the...

We love the food from here, the café is great. But takeaway food or drinks for that matter take so long!! Makes you think twice about going there definitely. But I must say to sit in to eat is good and we love the waitress...

lovely cafe overlooking the bay. not much seating inside, but plenty outside. food was lovely and the staff friendly, especially after a seagull swooped in and stole my daughters sandwich! she was very upset by the incident, and they immediately found a table inside for...

Good outside cafe for a lovely hot cup of coffee and a toasted teacake. No problem having a place for the dog to sit. Table service and very friendly. There is an inside cafe if that is what suits you. I believe they also do...

Group of 6 stopped off for lunch. Told we couldn’t order a shandy - had to buy two drinks - lemonade and beer! Paid for extra jacket filling but very small amount of cheese. Bowl of soup was stone cold on arrival - can only...

Nice little cafe in a prime position. Prices and quality excellent and much better value than those surrounding it.

Food was absolutely disgusting, advertises fish and chips and serves oven chips!! over done food and covered in grease, even the dog wouldn’t eat it!!

Really friendly service and good value right on the front. The warm scone cream tea is great value and delicious. You can’t ask for more.

While visiting Lyme, we chose to have breakfast here as the nearest cafe was exceptionally busy. This cafe was just opening up at 10.100am and was quieter. Our order was for two filter coffees, a bacon bap and a sausage bap. Coffees came quite quickly...

Stopped here on Tuesday for lunch with our two cocker spaniels. Sat in the dog friendly room at the back and was immediately given a bowl of water for the dogs. Both of us had the cod and chips which was very nice and good...

Looking for fish & chip takeout to eat on the beach on Sunday 16th June for Fathers' Day we stumbled upon 'Jane's Takeaway'. Alarm bells should have rung when the 2 girls serving front of house were 'bantering' between them, and the younger girl was...

We took shelter from the rain for a fish and chip lunch. Delicious . Friendly staff and a fair choice on the menu. Prices reasonable and it looks like they do a good breakfast! Outdoor seating so you can take in the views on a...
