Food is okay. Fryer is not suitable for coeliacs (despite steak) etc being listed as gf. They will offer substitutes etc but maybe look into changing this? Items may be gf by ingredient but you shouldn't be labeling them as this if you put everything into the same fryer (worked hospo for years - it's not hard to differentiate and train staff on). You could make someone seriously sick. Clear labeling provides comfort for everyone. Overall a good place for a bite but the service is also very rushed.

Pricy but we received excellence and are so impressed with the food and coffee. Love the decor and timber of the original homestead. We were served by such a lovely lady which is a bonus. There is art for sale on the walls which was also a nice extra touch. So delishish, glad we came. Added a pic if the hand cut fries, we do not know how they were so yum!! Maybe fresh grown or good potatoes? Gluten free caramel slice was beautiful, the base was like shortbread. They were very accommodating for my children, there were some toys and fun puzzles and they split a milk shake into 3 small glasses. The meals coming out looked incredible.

Great service and great food. I'm also Coeliac and while the menu was limited for me I still managed a meal and desert. Many places will tell you they can cater for coeliacs and end up contaminating their food, not these guys tho 🙂

Catered very well for Gluten Free and Dairy Free, the same as any other Thai restaurant does. Sadly though, they have no gluten free soy sauce so the meal was VERY bland. Strongly suggest you buy some GF soy sauce. Your customers will appreciate it. :-)

What a pleasant surprise. By far the best dining experience we have had in our 2 week stay in New Zealand. I had the Rib Eye and it was cooked to perfection and served with vegetables and accompaniments (so no need to seperately order and pay for sides as many restaurants annoyingly do these days) Portion size was generous. My partner had the Salmon and was equally happy with her meal. The wine we drank perfectly complimented our meals and we could not fault the service or the atmosphere. On another note as a coeliac they catered well for my dietary requirements. Well done and keep up the great work.
