However, when I went in September, I was disappointed to see that they no longer offered the English breakfast on the menu. Instead, they only had bacon, sausage, or egg sandwiches and baguettes. The service was okay, but I wouldn't eat there again as I was really looking forward to having a breakfast.

The service was terrible, giving us a nearly "Faulty Towers" like experience when we placed our order. Everything seemed like too much trouble, even when we tried to pay. We felt like we were a captive audience and received poor service. It's best to avoid this place.

There are many options for coffee and cake in the area, but unfortunately our experience at Finley's was disappointing. Upon entering, it was unclear where to queue as there were two employees and two lines, with no signage indicating the process. The staff seemed uninterested and reluctant to interact with customers. The service was slow and the employees appeared miserable. The drinks and food took so long to be prepared that they were almost cold by the time we received them. To make matters worse, we were bothered by wasps while trying to enjoy our items outside. Overall, it was a dismal experience. I would recommend trying the café at the visitor center or the Chococo café instead. The owner of Finley's should consider addressing the attitude and efficiency of their staff. A little kindness and quicker service would go a long way in improving the customer experience.

Checked the bank and I've been charged twice so clearly exploting the fact I was busy looking after the children. Will not be going back!

Good Food great service. After a walk to Durdle door and back we stopped for lunch. Waitress overworked but very hospitable and hard working. read more Good Food great service. After a walk to Durdle door and back we stopped for lunch. Waitress overworked but very hospitable and hard working.
