Barely any vegan options

Unfortunately there are no vegan pies or sausage rolls or anything available now. There is only a roast vege salad, and alternative milk for drinks.
They do sell (very expensive) love raw bars in the shop though which was a surprise!

Pros: Some vegan things

Cons: Not many vegan things

Not as good as other experiences

We'd seen the other reviews so thought it'd be great to stop here on the way south. I asked them what was in the vegan burger, which turned into a bit of confusion and a lot of uncertainty as they worked out what can and can't go in a vegan burger. To be fair they had a team of students on today, but still... After much back and forth we ordered the vegan burger and the vegan nachos.

When they turned up they looked quite good, albeit a bit smaller than expected for the price. The burger was ok, however the gluten free bun was really dry and the burger patty was very overcooked, to the point where the edges were dark brown and the patty was almost hollow and crumbly.

Definitely not what we'd hoped for. We spoke with the lady (owner) during our experience and it seems they're still working out the vegan menu. We'd possibly stop here again in the future if the portions were price-appropriate and the vegan menu is actually finalised re what ingredients make up the order items, including dairy-free cheeses and sour cream ideally (which they could make really easily!).

It's worth noting the vegan menu items have no price detailed on the menu board as they're the same price as 'normal' menu items.

Glad they're having a go but hope they make some improvements in the near future.

Pros: A number of vegan items on their menu board, Nice environment, Friendly staff

Cons: The menu items weren't known, Small portions for the price, Need to add dairy-free components

Excellent spot for vegan meals

I didn't expect to find such good vegan options in rural NZ, but I'm glad to be proven wrong! Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday and had a vegan pie and a vegan mud cake, both of which were excellent. The area is really nice too, with a bakery, fresh fruit ice cream and lots of entertainment for kids.

Pros: Quite a few vegan options, Nice clean relaxing environment

Cons: A little expensive, but not ridiculously so
