About croque Shop
Croque Shop is a sausage roll hotspot, situated on a busy street in the centre of Brighton. There are plenty of other places for pastry close by but Croque Shop stands out for their competitive pricing and wonderful window displays. It’s a great place to grab a roll on the move, before continuing through the winding streets towards the coast.

3. Packaging
Was it carefully wrapped? Did it arrive home intact?
Classic brown paper bag with good grease transfer. A napkin would have helped but none were on offer.

4. Weight
Did it have a satisfying weight? Was it reassuringly dense?
This was a chubby sausage roll, far more squat that the traditional tube shape.

5. Warmth
Was it warm and ready to eat or cold on arrival?
This was the perfect warmth, ready to scoff right away with no cooling needed.

6. Pastry
Was it buttery and flaky? Did it hold together?
The pastry held together perfectly, I would have liked a touch more flakiness but it was buttery and wrapped the meat.

7. Quality of meat or filling
Was the filling substantial or did you mainly chew air?
This was pork and Chorizo. The Chorizo was there in little chunks but I would have liked some chilli in there too.

8. Flavour
Was the sausage roll delicious and well-seasoned?
Good flavour but it needed a bit more pepper. It was perfectly passable though.
7/10
9. Satisfaction
Were you left satisfied or wanting more?
I was very satisfied. The sausage roll didn’t leave me overly thirsty and was a perfect walking snack.

10. Bonus Points
Did anything warrant bonus points? Eg. a little pot of mustard or friendly service from the staff?
I had walked past many times before but this was the first time that Croque Shop didn’t have a queue. Bonus points are awarded for the efficient and friendly service. There were about eight varieties of sausage rolls, so bonus points for the range on offer too.
