We read some reviews on this place and were excited for what seemed to be a truly British establishment, serving more authentic fish and chips and the little things we miss from being in the UK. We headed over a little later in the day, keeping in mind the closing times stated on their website and google, with the hopes of some fish and chips to go and some other goodies from their store. There were around 3-4 people in there finishing up their meals as we entered with what seemed to be one person working the cafe side and the store, and were welcomed with a smile. As we came to try and order food before 3pm, we were told the kitchen closes at 2:30 (contrary to the online information and the sign on the front of the store). Unfortunate, but hey not the end of the world. Would have been nice as we entered to be told a quick, “hi - if you’re planning on a food order, our kitchen closes in 5 minutes”. When browsing to pick up a couple of home comforts, everything is WAY overpriced. A smaller bar of Cadbury’s dairy milk that is out of date at close to $10 (visit one of the many local import stores and find them much cheaper), “bangers” full of processed ingredients more akin to a Richmond sausage and not a classic British banger, 4-5 rashers of medium bacon for $10. With the short opening hours, it’s easy to see why things are more expensive but it’s certainly not somewhere I’d recommend anybody take a...
Read moreWe have friends visiting Hoss from England and they wanted to eat some food to remind them of how and I found this place on Google. The area at this place is located in is kind of sketchy but we still decided stop and check it out. The store look like that it was going out of business with the shells practically bear we still decided to go ahead GameStop better judgment and order food. The people who were working there or somewhat rude and condescending and it took a long time for our food to make an appearance. My wife and I found the food mediocre about the guests that he took over there taught that it was lacking. As beaver waiting for our food another American couple showed up and we could not believe our ears that they were telling them how to eat the food and when I say that which utensils and silverware to use. I am not in the habit of giving negative reviews and in all the reviews that I have given this property is the third review that has been negative. If you are out of the country and were thinking that this place will remind you off home cooking trust me it is not and if somebody cooked like they do at your home you would have left a long time ago and would not be trying to recreate...
Read moreI had such hopes for this place. I drove down from Marysville to buy some goodies to remind me of home. They have a somewhat limited inventory and all of the products are way overpriced. Despite the high pricing I bought 4 of my childhood favorites candy bars. I was very disappointed when I got home, all of them were “best by” dated for May of 2020 - so yeah, the overpriced chocolate was stale. I opened up 2 of my bars and the chocolate had not been in a temperature controlled environment as it was all kinds of colors from white to dark grey. I haven’t opened the other 2 yet, but I suspect the chocolate will be ruined like my other 2 were. Very disappointed. I would not go back here, and do not recommend this place on any level. The proprietor of this store needs to keep a keener eye on sell by dates and temperatures, I can only imagine what the dates are on the food they...
