Harlees Fish And Chips - East Dorset

First, and last, purchase from this fish n chip establishment ; fish so soggy and dripping in fat it was leaking through the box. Curry sauce was actually awful barbecue sauce with a hint of curry powder.. It was so bad my teenage son wouldn’t eat it even after I tried to dry the fish out in the oven. I did wonder why the shop was empty but for myself.Now I know.

Kids cod is half the size, no toys now given and I’m sure it’s gone up in price too since we last went. £5.99 for a cod not much bigger than a fish finger and a fruit shoot!!! Not good value anymore.

I can eat fish, chips and peas for £11- £15 in pubs and restaurants and some places for less than £10 that includes a alcoholic drink! Never again! Absolute rip off! Fish tasted ok, however the chips no and I’m still hungry, oven now on for something else You live and learn!

We ordered our meal on Christmas eve from Harlees as we have done for many years, however this will be the last time. I am absolutely disgusted and livid at the service we received, we ordered online and were given a collection time of 6.20-6.30, my daughter arrived to collect and was told they were waiting for chips to cook to finish the order and to wait outside until it was done. which was fine. However she then waited a further twenty minutes to be called (which never happened and she had to chase it herself) whilst others were arriving, ordering and leaving with food whilst she waited. she then returned home with the order to find that one meal was missing. (these things happen) My other daughter then returned to the shop to ask after the missing meal. She was greeted by what I can only describe as the rudest service possible. Rather than an apology and the order corrected she basically accused of lying about the omission as the manager had worked on our order and that the cctv would have to be checked before the order could be corrected. The cameras were not checked and the order was corrected but in such an offensive manner my recommendation would be to think carefully before ordering here.

Very very poor service, left outside in the freezing cold for 25mins, 3 people that ordered after me received there meals before me. I only ordered cod and chips. Not to mention the 3 orders also picked up.I think they need to re think on who gets serviced 1st the person freezing outside or the person that’s just jumped out of the warm car, then to find most of the chips were rotten and hardly any battery on the cold ..very poor
