Finleys Café — Restaurant in England

Finleys fish and chips shop is a dangerous, horrible place to eat I was genuinely shocked disturbed and frankly appalled at the shop. Firstly the chips were overpriced and the portions were tiny! 3£.50 for chips where you could see the bottom of the chip bag, the chips were also luke warm at best. Furthermore The hygene standards were atrocious the worker had no gloves on no hairnet and the shop says that they are not accountable for any cross contamination as it’s not their fault. This action could kill a unspecting baby or any citizen as the shop uses oils that could have nuts, or any other ingredients. A peer of mine bought chips and then couldn’t eat any because he later saw the sign in the corner of the shop stating that they “are not accountable for cross contamination or allergies” this seems very uncaring this could kill someone. The floor inside the chip shop was dirty and very dusty, although not very important still creates a negative impression. The fridges that contained overpriced drinks were very old. Finally the deciding factor the chips WERENT even nice. the shop sign doesn’t even have correct grammar.My question to you is do you want a dangerous unsanitary horrible experience, if you don’t DO NOT GO TO FINLEYS FISH AND CHIPS. If I could give zero stars, I would. This place is a disaster from start to finish. The fish was soggy, greasy, and somehow still cold in the middle — I’m not sure how that’s even possible. The chips tasted like they’d been reheated three times, and the oil must be older than the shop itself. The staff looked like they’d rather be anywhere else, and after tasting the food, I don’t blame them. I waited nearly 25 minutes for a meal that wasn’t even worth 25p. The “tartar sauce” was a mystery concoction that smelled suspiciously like cleaning fluid, and the mushy peas could’ve been used as wall filler. Save yourself the disappointment (and possible food poisoning) — there are better meals in the frozen section of any...

BLOOD STAINED PLASTER IN MY FOOD Finley's Café Lulworth Cove. You will never believe what happened. Went for a meal at this Café by the main car park. Both of us got jacket potato with bacon and brie. Sat there eating it and ate 2/3 of it then looked down as I was about to put another mouth full in. What's that in my food. It was a standard plaster with fresh blood on it. I went and asked to see the manager. I took photos to show the blood stained plaster in my food. The dupty manager came and i pointed out the plaster and she said she was sorry about it. I noticed they had teenager's working there so i thought one of them had done it. Then she said it's from my finger. I could not believe it. I asked why she was not complying with health and safe rules. Her answer was I am to busy. I said you are contaminating everyone's food. She seemed to think it was funny from the look on her face so I told her I was gonna report her and I had taken pictures. That took the smile off her face. I now have to go for blood tests. I can't believe why when your wearing a plaster and it goes missing while preparing food you don't find out where it's gone. Why was she not wearing protective gloves. Why was she not wearing a blue plaster. Check out the picture of the plaster on the side of the plate. Never going there again. I also noted that a person has also reported a problem on trip advisor when they were there on Monday17th April. Reported this to Purbeck council who attended the 19th April. Anyone who has had a problem here please report it to Purbeck council. Eat here at...

After a long and scenic walk from Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove, we were genuinely looking forward to a good meal—unfortunately, Finley’s Cafe turned out to be a major letdown.

The lines were long, which raised our hopes, but the food didn’t come close to delivering. The portions were small and uninspired, and most of it was bland to the point of being tasteless. Honestly, the only thing that stood out was the pre-packaged ketchup—and that says a lot.

Given its prime tourist location, it’s clear this place relies on footfall rather than food quality. I’ve tried fish and chips across the country—from Whitby to York, Norwich, London, the Cotswolds, Dover, Canterbury, and even the Isle of Wight—and I can confidently say this was the worst. It felt like a mockery of one of Britain’s most beloved national dishes.

As for the chicken items—just a hard no. Not worth the money or the calories.

The one redeeming feature? The milkshakes. They were actually pretty good. But sadly, that’s not enough to justify a...
