Mamy's Brown Shrimp Croquettes: Our Most Loved Dish at Old Town Bistro

Some dishes quietly become the heart of a menu. Mamy's brown shrimp croquettes have done exactly that in just a few short weeks, and they're already becoming one of the most talked-about dishes at Old Town Bistro.

Loved by guests and team alike, particularly our head chef James, the recipe is deeply personal, created by Margriet's mother, who has spent more than forty years perfecting her croquettes. Earlier this year, she joined James in the kitchen to pass on her method, from creating the perfect filling to achieving that crisp, golden finish. It was a lovely moment of shared knowledge and culinary tradition, and one that feels very much at the heart of what Old Town Bistro is about.

Made with delicate brown shrimp and full of rich, savoury flavour, the croquettes are comforting, nostalgic and quietly indulgent all at once. If you're visiting us for lunch in Beaconsfield or popping in for a light bite, these are not to be missed.
