A review of a site at Durdle door

Came across this gem :D ;
https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/Engla ... iday-park/

Disliked:
"I was on an outing with my friends who are engaged to go down to the beach next to durdle door (man of war beach) had a really nice swim in the cold sea, on the way up we decided to stop at Harrys sports bar, for a bowl of chips and a drink.

So what happened,

The chips arrived separately, 1 in a bowl, to in takeaway bags... (what sort of service is this i thought) not only did it take 45 mins for the chips to arrive, and when they finally did arrive they were cold.

So i immediately said they were cold, and the waiter kindly took them away, and brought them back slightly warmer, so i said they were still cold and they tasted dried out like they had just been microwaved.

the waiter then decided to pick one of the chips up and try it himself... what sort of service is this?

He then walked away and didnt even bother returning,

so I took the chips and went up to a waitress and told her what happened, she took the chips and took them back to the kitchen and eventually brought fresh warm (hot chips)

As i walked back to the table one of the locals thought he would call me a t**t.
this of course was not acceptable for me, and it disputed into a slight argument,

The bar staff came up and then said they were going have to escort me out of the pub as im causing problems

overall this is the worst place ive ever been
the service was awful
the attitude from the staff was rude
and the place was shocking

As a result i advice people not to go here and i certainly will not return to this place.

However i am contemplating calling trading standards"

in the other review....

This is predominantly a static site. Very limited choice of camping/touring pitches.
Most facilities very old and in need of some modernisation. Fellow camper from HM Forces commented he'd seen similar in 1950's barrack accomodation. :shock:

Suspect their target audience enjoy some discomfort, barrack style accommodation and cold chips with indifferent service, its certainly something The British have gifted the world with

locals dont sound very friendly, cant a site ask to have reviews like this removed though
or is that against the rules that sort of publicity would be a bit damagaing i would have thought
