The venue was chosen by coeliac friends, as good sausages don't contain gluten. Smash only has one choice of sausage with gluten, thanks to the Guinness contained within. They also have a vegetarian sausage option. And a gluten-free dessert.
Others have pointed this out too: When you order one, two or three sausages for your meal they all have to be the same type. Kind of annoying, as it would be nice to try more of the flavours. But I guess part of the reason is to make you go back.
The total came to $250 for 8 people for meals, a salad, shared dessert and drinks. You could get away with a main + beer for under $30.

Plus, service is great. At least it was about a year ago.
ReplyDeletePhotographing "brown food" is THE WORST, especially when the lighting is dim. I think the apprentice did a pretty smashing (get it SMASHing) job!
ReplyDeleteI quite like this place and yes, it's a bit annoying that you can't mix up the sausages on some of the dishes.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to get a good picture in here. Poor Apprentice. I think you may have been here just before we went. I'm so glad you took a picture of the painting on the back wall. I didn't notice it and after we left, a dining companion pointed out to me that they had the same painting I do in my living room.
ReplyDeleteI love this place.
I gotta get myself to visit this joint soon. This is the second blog I have read today about this places. Mash and sausages sounds wicked! Love your comic strip style format too!
ReplyDeleteSmash impressed me, despite my dislike of mash (happily their version is rustic enough that my brain thought of it as squished potato).
ReplyDeleteAnd filling! Hoary crap.
