I can’t speak highly enough of this fabulous wee cafe. We were hankering for a pie on our travels from Christchurch to Terrace Downs and stopped in for a quick bite. The three of us all agreed these were the best pies we had ever tasted! In fact, they were so good we got 3 to take away as well! The staff were very friendly, and Jason even took the time to come and chat with us after we raved so much over his pies. He is a butcher who is passionate about what he does - from the meat he selects, to how he cuts it, cooks it, and the flavours he combines. We are already planning our next trip back to Hororata Village Bar & Cafe.
“Jason for Pie Minister!”
Mum and I are travelling the South Island, and we couldn’t speak highly enough of the lovely food we had there today. We had the beef pie with mashed potato, peas and gravy, and it was absolutely amazing!
We happened upon the cafe by chance, would definitely be going back if we’re ever down this way again! The cafe itself has a lovely ambiance as well.
Love this Cafe!
One of the best places to eat in Selwyn for sure, The chowders that they make are devine and great portions, the stff are all friendly and go out of thier way to help - Def our fav place to go
This cafe makes all their own food - homebaking. The even bake their own pies. A real country pie called the Butchers Pie! The owner is a butcher. Loved it. Full of meat and lovely pastry. I had the Pie and Salad meal , my husband had the Pea Pie Pud with gravy. So lovely to have a wonderful country cafe serving good country food. Noticed the comments below and Im sorry but we found this cafe to be very friendly, clean and just lovely. Highly recommend for a great lunch visit.
What wonder out in the middle of nowhere! Called in and stayed for lunch. The chef made me her seafood chowder and it was thee most amazing chowder ever! My mate a steak pie - pea pie pud and he loved it! Yep these guys have got it! Great, homemade food.
This is a place to go, simply awesome coffee, eggs Benedict with locally smoked salmon, brilliant ! Jason's chicken pies....its hard to stick to getting just one. Jason and Jania are both great hosts.
Excellent menu,interesting variety,staff very pleasant and efficient.Great location,easy drive from Christchurch,and picturesque area to explore.
Unbelievable and absolutely amazing service. Accidentally dropped my coffee in my van and the nice lady made me a free one. Pies are delicious too 👍
Perfect place for a lunch stopover. Pies are delicious, salmon bagel yum, and the muffin. To die for!
Have tried many dishes here, and can never fault the slices. They're beautiful as always. The omelet is exactly what you expect.
If you were either on your way to the washpen waterfalls or on your way to my Hutt for skiing, this place is a must stop over or even a destination!!
The pies are seriously to die for and I'm picky with my pies! Coffees great too. Hard to complain about this place. Everything's great here. It is a must stop. Totally recommend!
Went in for a pit stop food was delicious staff very friendly and the spice of the slices was enough for four people
Best brownies i ever had! Nice people, you definitely have to go there! ☺️
Great replacement for the Hororata Pub that closed in 2010. Staff are lovely and the pies are absolutely too die for. Real pieces of melt in the mouth steak. These are better than the legendary Jackson's pies. Nice feel and great outdoor area in good weather. Outside pool table and darts board!!
Gave 4 stars simply because it was open Easter Monday. For a Cafe in the middle of nowhere the prices were the same as city, plus surcharge. Food was fine. They were understaffed but did a decent enough job considering. Could do with tidy up and upgrades to decor etc outside.
Will definitely be back, service was sensational! As the sign says "we treat you like a local" food was exceptional. 10/10
Very delicious, I like here so much
