I am torn on my Cave of Plunder review. On one hand, they do homemade milkshakes, and probably more in more creative ways than anything else I’ve ever seen. On the other hand, everything else is pretty bad. We came because we read the reviews about the milkshakes and wanted to check them out. As you walk in, you are overwhelmed with a counter filled with candy and toppings and general sweets. Turns out, they will make ANY of them into a milkshake. Whatever you’re feeling that say — sweet, chocolaty, fruity, etc — milkshake time. What. So cool. So we got milkshakes. I got a Crunch one and it was really good. Thick ice cream mixed in well with the chocolate. Nice. However, this is a place that’s clearly trying to save money where they can. The cup they handed the milkshake to me in was cheap, cheap plastic and the milkshake was so thick, I couldn’t get it out. What they needed was one of those heavy-duty straws that can suck up anything. What I got were two cheap plastic straws that could do nothing. Where they may want to cut overhead is the rest of the place, which is another Just Eat diner that serves your basic food. Pizzas and sandwiches and the likes, none which look, or are, that appetizing. The walls are decorated with movie posted(SAW and the The Godfather and the likes) and they have a skeleton hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room. It’s like they were trying to create a fun atmosphere but stopped about halfway through. Honestly, this place could be great. A tiny general store type feeling that does amazing milkshakes and candy and toys. What it is right now is a hodgepodge of a million different things, none of them working as well as they could.

Delicious milkshakes, endless list of flavours. Got told off for taking a picture though. No photography permitted. What have they got to hide? They’re missing a trick in this social media world.
