Really ordinary potato cakes. They were translucent. When you can see through a potato cake you know the potato has been sliced thinner than shaved ham! Two stars only because the batter was crispy and I love it crispy. This is an update - I wish I had taken a photo of the thinnest potato cakes ever from a place that calls itself "gourmet". I'm also changing the review to one star because the only reason the batter was crispy was because they had been overcooked in the first place anyway. They were incredibly bad and because it calls itself a "gourmet" shop, they cost more - $1.50 each!! I just had a feeling about the place when I noticed that a small serve of hand cut chips was $7.50. (Hand cut? What difference does that make anyway, other than it means you can up the price?) So I baulked at that and went to a takeaway burger place around the corner and ordered probably machine cut chips, small size which cost $5.00. Very wise decision. I thought I would post a photo of a real potato cake from a traditional fish & chip take away joint I went to last Thursday and the Thursday before that. And upholds that tradition by giving you an extra two when you order a dozen!! I will keep going back there but never again will I venture into a gourmet fish and (give me a break) chippery.
PLEASE READ
It is disappointing to write such review but I want other people to be aware how atrocious their customer service could be. First instead of a greeting they asked some of our friends to leave the shop in such an ill-mannered way. I get it and respected what they said as we were there with our friends and the shop being small. It could be said politely. It is a disgrace we had to endure racism in a restaurant/take away. The guy who was taking our order literally made fun of our language straight to our face. He lacks manner and obviously no existence of customer service in his dictionary. At this covid time we wanted to support a local business instead, ordering from them was compared to a slap in the face. If I am to talk about food, it was overpriced and the fish was unseasoned. I would recommend a customer service training for their employees and learn to treat customers with respect.
If you had you I went to the place this- place. You wouldn’t even believe the food I did I bought with my I at-a-ate it. The lady kind lady at the-th-the counter the place the money I met.. she was very kind and caring🤩 After when I bought. Y , my food.
