First time here today and I'm blown away by the food and service. 10/10 for the Gluten free, Dairy free variety of food they have. Nice, cosy and tucked away slightly outside of Havelock city center. I never felt so good after having so much food!! Must visit specially for the gf,DF, v options and a variety of fig products!
Fish was nicely pan-fried. To many chips for a lunch meal but great if hungery, the salad had a nice light dressing. Good selection of gluten free options. Large range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.
Amazing wood fired pizzas! So delish. Highly recommend the gluten free vege lasagne. Lovely atmosphere, staff make sure you are comfortable and cosy on cold nights with heating and blankets if outdoors. Top service, highly recommend.
Just returned home replete from an absolutely delicious lunch enjoyed on the verandah in balmy weather at the Birdwoods Cafe in Havelock North, Hawkes Bay. Two of us ordered the pork belly on potato rosti which was both meltingly tender inside but crisp and crunchy on the outside and two had the Birdwoods pie which were bursting with succulent beef. There was no plate envy on this occasion. Our desserts were the moist gluten free chocolate brownie, a chocolate mousse and the rhubarb cake. So so delicious because they tasted authentic as real food should.
Thank you for your very personal table service, beautiful grounds
and elegant venue - it is so much more than one expects a Cafe to be.

Went for a dinner with gluten free friends, we ordered drinks and four mains to share. Amazed that all but two of the options on the menu were gluten free. Food came out almost instantly and the flavours were incredible. We couldn’t even pick a favourite, they were all amazing. A bit disappointed we couldn’t try dessert as we were too full. Something to look forward to next time. Wait staff were attentive and friendly.
Excellent service from a well informed team member, sorry I didn’t catch her name lovely well spoken lady. Informed us of the gluten free options.
The fish of the day was delicious so I’m told! I chose the lamb rump,, cooked just right with eggplant & peas,,, who would have thought that this would taste so good. Thanks very much. We will be back next time we’re in town
Amazing experience at Piku last night as we always do, food was delicious and came out very quickly! Would highly recommend, the Gluten Free options are amazing and taste just as incredible

Love the burgers here. The gluten free bun is light and crispy. The beef patty’s are also super nice - not oily not too salty. Generous portions. Highly recommend
The Village Green cafe boldly announces gluten-free options in large lettering painted on its outside wall, so I was expecting a good choice for breakfast. Therefore, I was incredibly disappointed to find that my only choices appeared to include egg (which it's never cooked to my taste in cafes). When I asked if the granola was g-f, I felt the waitress and kitchen staff almost ridiculed me for asking such a dumb question. Trust me, it's not hard to make a g-f granola. So disappointing.
