Scooby Snacks: I missed opening day, but manged to bound over for a dogs dinner today. To be met by a queue out the door into the freezing street - it’s their first branch - and the obvious layout mistakes can easily be rectified - the majority of the store was empty, as the queue for taking orders is right by the door - so there’s only room for 3 people to queue inside. I avoided the more exotic varieties:
TANDOORI LAMB ,Tandoori lamb Hotdog, mixed pickles, raita & popadoms.
THAI CHICKEN, Thai chicken Hotdog, mango, chutney coconut sauce & oriental crisps.
NORTHENER, Classic British pork Hotdog, mushy peas, pork scratchings & mild horseradish.
and went for
FRANKFURTER - Pork & beef Hotdog, sauerkraut, caramelised onions & vegetable crisps, with some added mustard(hot) and mayo. Though you can design your own combinations.
Opening the beautifully designed box is a little disappointing as the hotdog only filled 2/3rds of the space. On eating it was a little tough to break though but tasty once you cracked the overly hard skin. The downside, £4.25 for a hot dog, which would be £0.50 at ikea, though that’s an unfair comparison. There’s alot of branding work to be paid for somehow! and it is priced similarly to most lunch options in SOHO. They need to add some sides, other than boxed salads. I want some FRIES! as I’m still a bit hungry. It’s only day two so I expect it to improve over time and in new branches.
