Never buying food here again!
I know that athena has been here a long time but I unfortunately have to rate it so low. for food and attitude of the owner. Ive been here on several occasions where I purchased chicken, chips, pies and saveloy and incredibly the only 4 things I like were all badly cooked or were suspicious regards health! The chips are never cooked enough, the chicken looked so so tough, was heated so hard and was dry that I literally couldn't pull it apart or bite into it! I Love saveloys and like everyone else presumes they sit in water looking pink and juicy! but not here! there were 2 sitting in the warmer, dry, deep red and (crispy) ERR!!! when I asked if he had 2 in water, he replied thats the way they come ok with intention in his voice, he was defensive and rude. and i explained i have never had them like that and he told me to go elswhere if I wanted them. I ordered several pies which just didnt have any moisture left and 1 particular clarks pie that I bought seemed to only have a third of filling and it was dry and congieled yuk!!! This was so bad I had to take it back! The owner grilled me defiantly asking me why i had taken a bite out of it if i didn't like it???? and told me that " they are all like that", I explained that i have eaten dozens of clarks pies an they certainly are not and the condition of the pastry was questionable.. Looking like a sorry excuse, so ill looking and tiny... nothing like the others i have eaten. I guess it had just been in his fridge and was then further tortured in the display under searing heat... No exagerating the food was lifeless.. He replied " dont say my food is rubbish mate" when I was mearly requesting a replacement or refund. I eventually requested my money and left stating his food was sub standard and non edible and that I was off to Harveys Up the hill... All there stuff is fresh as can be. AVOID! read more
