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.

Like one of the last reviewers said worst fish and chips ever had. I hope owner is aware how this business is not half as good as it once was. Visited 10/10/24 about 5pm. Girl who took the order was more interested in looking at phone and forgot to give me change. Then the fish and chips, which over the years were always good, were tasteless , batter overcooked and fish was mushy inside. We really should have complained but put half eaten in the bin. Will be trying somewhere else next year. Over the year we visit Lyme about 6 times but we will be trying different take a way when we come again.

Tom's Lyme Regis Marine Parade, Lyme Regis DT7 3JQ EnglandEn fin de visite en UK, nous avons passé 3 jours à Lyme. Et sommes entrés par hasard dans ce restaurant. Comme nous étions fatigués, nous avons pris des plats de base. C'était très bien et avons décidé d'y retourner le dernier jour. Et là, ce fut là, ce fut très médiocre. Inacceptable pour le prix demandé. Nous avions réservé et sommes arrivés à l'heure. Il a fallu pas mal de temps pour prendre la commande, la jeune serveuse s'en est excusée. Mais il a fallu très longtemps pour avoir nos entrées. Elles étaient bonnes. C'est après que cela s'est corsé. Comme c'était notre dernier jour, que nous en avions mare du fish and chips, nous avons décidé de ne pas trop regarder au prix. Mon épouse a commandé le poisson du jour (Haddock), et j'ai opté pour leur superbe plie. Il n'y avait plus trop de monde dans le restaurant, mais il a fallu attendre près de 45 minutes pour ces plats. Pour mon épouse, le "poisson du jour" était présenté en fish and chips (que nous voulions éviter absolument). De mon côté, une plie 3 fois trop cuite, du véritable pâté pour chats, et fade. Tout cela pour un des plats les plus chers du resto. J’ose imaginer que ce soir, il y a eu un problème en cuisine, que le "chef" a laissé faire une stagiaire ou une apprentie, et que celle-si s'est complètement plantée. Mais à ce prix, c'est tout simplement inacceptable.
