I was mistaken. I assumed that the Montheiths franchise would have the same menu from place to place. Seems not so. We were in
Kaikoura recently and stopped for dinner and ordered Garlic bread - having enjoyed the version served in Montheith's Hanmer . Well it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment - in fact it was nothing like in Hanmer. The bread while it arrived in a timely manner consisted of a a pizza bread dough - wafer thin. It had so much herbs on it - that it should be described and sold as Herb bread. Three out of four diners could not discern any Garlic flavour. Now that was certainly a let down. There was plenty of butter on the bread and it had melted and seeing that the bread had no soft "bread-tissue' eg it was crusty all the way through, the butter had run straight of the bread and onto the plate, and as well ended up on our fingers. Our companion mentioned that you would feel cheated out of a pizza - no toppings etc. At NZ $9 I would have expected a lot more. The only redeeming feature would be the creative arrangement on the plate.
