Jane's in West Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We ordered at the counter here to takeaway and waited far too long for our food. There was only 1 person ahead of us and although the café area and terrace were busy, there seemed to be a great deal of staff doing very little. For a seaside takeaway I've never waited longer. We ordered 1 x jumbo sausage with child's chips which turned out to be not a jumbo sausage but a standard sized shrivelled up, very dry and overcooked inedible sausage. Scampi and chips - offered the option of small or large by the girl a the counter - somewhat thrown as the board did not specify a size but just offered scampi and chips at £6.90. I opted for small (envisioning oversized chip shop mountainous portions!) and was charged £6.90 as specified on the board - the portion consisted of 5 pieces of scampi and a portion of chips equal to the childs portion - disgraceful for the price. A portion of chips by the way, is around £2 so for 5 tiny pieces of scampi I was charged £4. What on earth would I have been charged for a large portion?!The cod and chips was handed over the counter by the girl "child's cod and chips?" "No we ordered an adults cod and chips and a childs sausage and chips" "oh yes sorry It is an adults portion". Well I can say with almost complete certainty that it was a childs portion and was a mistake on their part that they tried to cover up. Either that or the portions of cod here are the smallest seen anywhere on the South Coast of England. Tiny, thin and really really overcooked and dried out to a crisp. To add insult to injury, after our long wait, all the chips we were served were soggy, very undercooked and "potatoey" rather than chipped. We paid £17 for our measly lunch. After lunch we passed a number of other fish and chip outlets all of which charged around £2 less per dish and looked superior. Go elsewhere. Very poor indeed.
