Visited for coffee and mid-morning snacks. Very impressed with the warm welcome and engaging service. Our scones and snacks were tasty and the coffee was excellent with the barista skills well above average. Food servings to other tables looked appetising. Will return and recommended.

We used to come to punters for their beer and burger deal every time we came to Tairua. The meals used to be fantastic. However this time at Easter the caterers have changed and even though the menus were the same the portions had shrunk by half , the coleslaw that came with most meals had gone, and the delicious relishes had gone. All our meals were disappointing and we were a group of 7. We are sad as we will have to find somewhere else to go now. (But we will go one more time in the hope they improve...)
