A couple have vowed to never visit a popular holiday destination again after being served a "tiny" piece of fish in their chippy tea. The "shameful" portion measured just four inches, Mike Turner and wife Jane said, but still cost them £15.
The pair, who were holidaying in Devon, had just walked six miles and gone to Captain Morgan's cafe in Salcombe for food. They decided to get one fish supper to share after seeing sandwiches were £8 each, along with two cans juice.
But when the waiter served their food, he apologised for the size of the fish, and told the couple they'd been given "extra chips" to compensate for the portion. The couple said the incident "tarnished" their opinion of Salcombe - and they'll now never visit again, reports the Mirror.
Mike, from Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, said: "It wasn't your normal chip shop, it was by a car park. We'd been walking six miles and were super hot, hungry and exhausted. We were going to grab a sandwich but it was £8 each and to me, that's [not acceptable] and I refused to pay it so we said we'd share fish and chips.
"About 10 mins later, the waiter came out and said he was sorry but the fish was a bit small but they'd put a few extra chips on the plate instead. We look down at the portion of fish and chips and we were shocked, especially for the price. It wasn't cheap. It was a tiny piece of fish. We put a tomato sauce sachet next to it and it was about that size.
"You look back and think you should take it back and say it's ridiculous but we were so tired and didn't have the energy. We just needed something to eat. We didn't want that confrontation, I can be a little opinionated, I would have said what I thought. Rather than extra chips, they should have given us two small pieces
