In true Patsy form this was "Absolutely Fabulous darling!" I mean they even serve bubbles. What more could a girl want?
We started with bubbles 🍾 whilst we waited for our blue cod and chips.
I love my fish and chips and I am a tough customer when it comes to battered fish. There have been some epic fails over the last few years and it has become my mission to find the best battered fish in NZ, well Canterbury at the very least.
So this good sized portion of fish and chips was served to us and my first words on cutting into it and taking my first mouthful were "Oh my God! This fish is amazing and the batter is divine." Our table fell almost silent once our food was served other than to compliment every aspect of what we were eating.
The fish was a good sized chunky fillet and it was covered in a light, crispy batter. I was so excited to find absolutely no sign of soggy batter. There is nothing worse than thinking you are about to savour a beautiful piece of fish only to sink your teeth into a mouthful of partially cooked, soggy, bland, batter mix. Well let me assure you, this did not happen tonight because this battered fish was cooked to perfection. The chips were fabulously chunky too, a healthy option to the McDonald's style fries so many establishments offer and we both loved the coleslaw which was seriously tasty.
Thanks FUSH for an ab fab dining experience this evening, we won't only be back but we will be sharing our experience with all of our friends...
Read moreVery disappointing, won’t return. Massively overpriced. The place was empty for a reason. I saw another negative review from Val 8 months ago. She was complaining about the cooking, but at least she got two fillets of cod, my wife received one small fillet for $29. The $5 coleslaw she ordered was just a small portion of dry shredded cabbage, she had to use the tartare sauce to make it palatable. I paid quickly because I wanted to leave and was surprised there was a surcharge. I didn’t even see the small typed label to the side, not on the terminal itself, and the % isn’t stated. The Joe’s Garage manager came across to apologise. It was clear I was far from the first to complain about the prices and there had been a complaint earlier that day about the surcharge. I generally pay with Eftpos so neither myself or the business has to pay an unnecessary fee, but I wanted to leave asap, especially as the staff were clearly wanting to go home. The cartoon on the screen may feel nostalgic for old men, but my thirteen year old daughter was cringing at the sexist imagery. if you are going to charge so much make sure the quality and quantity is appropriate to represent good value. Not really interested in your template reply, just make...
Read moreKia ora, we had ordered some delivery for kai tonight. Unfortunately when the delivery came, everything was very cold, and half of what we had ordered were not up to our expectations. Half the box of the fried cauliflower and onion rings was just batter, plus the cauliflower was inedible as it was like rice and hard to pick up. The fried chicken bao buns were dry and tasteless. The fish burger was the same, however the chunky chips were good and warm, probably the only good thing of the order but we could’ve made this at home. Perhaps whoever was making the order could have timed it better so everything was warm? And maybe added some more flavour? Considering the prices are on the more expensive side, we were extremely let down by your food. We don’t mind paying high prices for quality food, but this was very far from quality. We were really excited to try this as I tried 5 years ago and was amazing, and wanted to share with my partner, but maybe the owners have changed? We just want you to be informed of customer reviews! We can send you photos of this if you are interested. Ngā mihi nui...
