In search of sone decent food while taking a weekend trip over to the brilliant Westcoast of NZ, we ended up stopping in Springfield NZ (of The Simpson's fame - home of Homer and his doughnut, and seem to remember, the world premier of the movie - so aptly called 'The Simpsons') Anyhow - we stopped at the Yellow Shack - well known for its pies and pizzas. The place seemed quiet when we arrived - the atmosphere was great though. The pizzas are cooked in a woodfired oven (I so gonna want one for myself) and are indeed v e r y delicious.
As for the Garlic bread - well - as you can see it is a basic pizza base and had garlic butter over the top. There coverage was missing in some places and so rich was the bread that upon picking up one slice you were covered in dripping butter-oil. The presentation left a bit to be desired as well and if there had been any herbs sprinkled on top, they would have floated away. Its only redeeming feature being the fact that there is a distinctive garlic flavour to be savoured and can definitley be tasted.Make no mistake - the service, the atmoshpere, the pizzas and the friendly smile by the owner are first class, and if they improve on the garlic bread itself this will be a fantastic place to eat out. Alternatively skimp the garlic bread and feast on the other items from the menu!!
