I have been using this chip shop for some time but have noticed the standards drop both in food and service. On Thursday 8th August I ordered fish and chips (x2) and paid £10 cash. I was told it would be 10 mins so I popped next door to the Arms for a drink and when I returned 20 mins later the guy behind the counter (I have not seen him before)said he had forgotten to cook my food!?! Rather than wait I just asked for my money back and he said abruptly “we don’t do refunds” ... after another request he just turned out his pocket and promptly slammed my £10 on the counter and said “don’t ever come back” ! To say I was gonna smacked was an understatement ... as if I was ever going back ! I can only imagine he is the new owner (good luck) as the previous guy was very friendly ... I would avoid this place like the plague ... apparently I’m not the only one with a bad experience ...

Says it was open till 8pm went to get food at 7pm and it wasn't even open looked like it hadn't even been open this evening. This is terrible if you say you are open then open or change the opening times.

Volando al mediodía después de la hora ocupada del día. Estábamos muy decepcionados. Nos atendió una señora muy amable y nos aconsejó que nos sentaríamos en la zona del bar. Había migas y comida de un cliente anterior, así que la señora barrió las migas a un lado con la mano (no limpiado). La ropa del personal se amontonó encima de la nevera. Se le pidió a un hombre que limpiara la nevera y dijo que no, así que otra señora más joven tuvo que hacerlo. El estado general de la zona era sucio y caro. No existía una jerarquía de gestión aparente. Este solía ser el bar "Nice" en el aeropuerto de Bristol y ahora no tiene orgullo. Después de bebidas muy caras nos alegramos de no comer allí.

Before I write this I just want to say that I never complain in restaurants, and have never written a bad review. But my meal was bad. And the service poor. I ordered nachos for £8 and what I received was a bowl of classic Doritos with shop bought sauce, and not very nice cheese. I politely asked to have something else, even just chips, instead as I could not eat it and felt very disappointed with what it was. I was not expecting the response. The man at the desk (assuming he is the owner) told me nobody had complained before so I could not have anything else unless I paid for it. He argued with me and made me feel very small, and treated me terribly. So terribly I began to cry for the first time ever in a restaurant because of his terrible customer service. He did not seem to care that he had upset me, and talked to me in a rude manner. I do not recommend, and would advise to avoid. Rude service, as I left upset I could hear him moan about me to another member of staff. Anywhere else would have refunded us, but not here.

The pie & chips was really good and it was so lovely to sit in the sunshine on the pier with the food. We chose a bench that wasn’t near any food establishments so that we weren’t swooped by seagulls. Unfortunately the vinegar didn’t taste of much - it seemed like it had been watered down.

Haven't been here in more than a year, and nothing has changed. No toasties, no jackets, all tables full of dirty plates etc, no beans in the coffee machine, no clean cutlery. 1pm on a Thursday. Why is it so awful here? I spoke to the store manager back in summer 2023, she advised me it was going to be taken under new management, I can only assume this hasn't happened. Such a let down considering it was alright once upon a time

This is part of Rudd's Hotel - but they try and keep the reviews separate - with good reason. Lulworth Cove is beautiful. The pretty courtyard to the hotel looked a great spot for lunch and the menu looked perfect. We arrived at 12:45 and went to the hotel bar to collect menus and order. We ordered drinks but were told they had just taken a big food order and were waiting for some deliveries and would take our order in 10 or 15 minutes. When we went back later we were told the owner/chef was expecting a delivery of wood and they wouldn't come until he paid them hence a further delay. "It's like Fawlty Towers here" said the girl behind the bar. At 1:15 they announced that they were now taking lunch orders. We ordered Calamari and chips for my daughter, moules mariniere and chips for my son, a crab sandwich on brown with halloumi fries for my wife and seafood paella for me. Total cost £64.50. We were told we would be called to the window of the kitchen when the food was ready. In the meantime I went to the loo - a trip I would only recommend in the most urgent of circumstances. They didn't have brown bread (my wife won't eat white). As he pushed to polystyrene boxes of food through the window to me the chef explained that they didn't have halloumi fries so he had put in some spring rolls instead. The calamari was inedible. As I said to the chef - they could have been used as weapons in martial arts they batter was so hard. We also failed to detect any squid, The seafood paella was also inedible. They had lined the polystyrene box with tin foil because it was swimming with liquid. It was also bland and just awful. I complained to the chef who offered to refund the money for the paella - £15. I would have argued and demanded a full refund - but we were on holiday and it doesn't take much to embarrass an 11 and 12 year old - so I let it go. The girl who took our order came and put the refund back to my card. I have just got back home and checked my account and instead of refunding me £15 they charged me another £15. You couldn't make it up.

Scruffy, dirty and run down. Not quite sure if Im describing the pub or the bar staff. Both. We thought we'd give this place a chance under new management. What a mistake, it's got worse! First round - served 4 drinks without a single word from the bar staff. Asked for a large wine but not possible. No explanation why not. 2nd round - needed the glasses back from the 1st round so that they could be re-used as they didn't have enough. There were only 4 other people in the place. It smelt. It was scruffy and run down. It was so bad it was funny. Wont be going back.

Insanely rude staff. Asked for some sauce on my chips and got told I should have asked during ordering my food and had no intention of giving me any. Only after I commented back at him, did he give me some mayo, but immaturely gave me the most minimal amount and walked off.

Turned up here around 6pm before a performance on the off-chance they may have a table, was advised by who appeared to be the maitre d’ (she carried a highly important-looking radio in her back pocket) that there’d be a table in what was a roped off semi-formal dining area around 6:15pm and suggested we sat at the bar to wait, she promptly brought over some menus… so far so good. We did this. Then 6:15pm came and went, no update, 6:20pm came and went, 6:25pm passed... no communication from the maitre d’ who stood expressionless at the restaurant desk, uninterested in any customers (even those WITH reservation were simply pointed in the vague direction of their assigned table. At 6:30pm, as we noticed that even those sat in the restaurant area were still having to order at the bar, we tried unsuccessfully to get the maitre d's attention - she continued to alternately stare motionless into the middle distance and texting on her phone. We eventually went up to the bar, just as other customers in the dining area were doing, and placed our own order to eat in the bar area - no one, neither the maitre d’ who by now was watching my OH order - or the bar staff who took the order and bar table number said this wasn’t possible. Our meal which was totally unremarkable eventually arrived at 19:10. Over an hour after we arrived, and 40 minutes after we placed our order. No apology. The Maitre d’ continued to walk around looking miserable and unapproachable. Don’t use this place. Disorganised and not interested in its customers.

From onsite management down, this place needs some positive redirection!. Care support private company need to seriously get their act together!. Some sub management, really aren't fit for purpose!, and as nice and compliant as restaurant staff are, the opening times are mediocre. Wish i could rate Whitley court higher, but there are so many issues in reality over a period of five and a half months since ive lived here, that only a complete fool would miss!!
