A nice warm cafe to visit. Ok service, and it is clean. The meat pie here is damn good. Meat was smooth with a good crunch from the pasty. I think this is one of the best pies I’ve ever had. I’ve had a lot of pies.
Also there may be 3 Kea’s waiting to steal your food. Beware, they will jump on your arm and eat your chips if you’re outside. Very entertaining. But don’t let them stay on your car for too long, they will rip it up.
It's a lovely stopover with hot pies, sandwiches, dessert slices and the usual coffee/hot chocolate. They open 8am to 5pm, but stop dining-in 430pm onwards, allowing only takeaway cups. There's also a hot kitchen operating between 11am to 2pm, cooking burgers and chips. There is a large dining in area, and an al fresco sheltered outdoors. Chances of seeing the "resident" Kea birds are high! Rmemeber not to feed them! =)
They also have a liquor bottle section, souvenirs/warm clothing sections, lots of snacks and sweets, and essentials such as dried food supplies, sauces, toothpaste, batteries etc.
Great service, good eggs and coffee. Only opens 0800
Good for food, coffee and friendly service. Enjoy a quick snack or a hearty meal – delicious range of freshly prepared food includes hot or cold food ready to go. Spacious and there are charging points so you acn charge phones and all. ATM is also there. Good place to take break during journey.
Classic cabinet food cafe. 1 vegan option of a vege korma pie. Good for car snacks lots of drinks, lollies etc. Toilets, can sit and eat here
Better than expected for a small town joint! Good beef burgers with genuine patties and fries were pretty tasty. Would lunch here again on a roadie.
I asked for a coffee milkshake "with real coffee" - OMG, please put that on your menu board. It was absolutely brilliant!!!
The BLT, and Chips were fantastic too.
Good food, unfortunately we had to wait almost an hour for a cup of chips, but the staff gave us a bowl of chips as compensation.
Stopped for morning coffee but ended up making a meal it! Delicious hot pies & the best date scones. Plenty of other options too. Excellent service. No complaints especially for a small village.
If you are travelling through, definitely stop here as there is a great view of mountains towering over you, and the cafe looks pretty retro
