"Disappointing"

A review of Holme Hall Fish Bar by Debbie written on Monday 11th of September 2017

11/09/2017. I had just received a menu through the letterbox saying Holme Hall Fish & Chips "Under New Management" and the photo of the fish cakes looked delicious. They were like something you would get in a restaurant; hand made, chunky, with slices of spring onion through them, not battered or bread crumbed and they looked like they had been pan fried. They were the only reason i decided to order anything at all and i was really looking forward to trying one. What i got was nothing like the photo, it was a rather greasy "Yorkshire" fishcake and i was so disappointed. I also ordered a rissole, thinking along the lines of ground up beef, but instead i got a bland, bread crumbed "fish cake". I think the New Management must be from further up North/North East as my research suggests that in those areas they call "Yorkshire fish cakes," just "fish cakes" and they call "fish cakes; "rissoles". I also ordered a plain sausage which was very salty tasting and a (blast from the past) spam fritter which was nice but again very greasy. I ordered a large tray of chicken meat from the kebab section; expecting to get my usual big chunks of grilled chicken pieces, but i got a tray full of small chicken tikka pieces; the type you find scattered on pizzas and i really didn't like the taste and wont be eating it. The "Scallops" (a great price at 40p each), turned out to be"Yorkshire fish cakes" without the fish and were also very greasy. I can and will say that the chips, curry sauce and gravy were all very nice although they didn't make up for the rest of it. I did however get a large bottle of water which i requested instead of the large bottle of Coke you get free when spending over £15. The delivery (which was also free) was given as an e.t.a of 30 - 40 mins; which turned out to be 55 - 60 mins and i was overcharged by 20p. As i haven't tried the rest of the items on the menu; i cant comment on how good they may or may not be. Overall i was very disappointed. I think they should change some of the names of items and/or give a brief description and definitely remove the very misleading fish cake photo..
