Fantastic news about your 2026 NZ Pie Awards today, Anthea and Martin. Thousands of hours of mahi, commitment to customers and striving for excellence should be rewarded. Well done! 🎊🎊🎊
Helen Gardner, 2 months agoI popped in for lunch today. Anthea served me and she was so friendly and helpful. I had a small salad and coffee. Both the food and coffee were great. I’ll definitely visit again.
Norma Miller, 4 months agoTailgated for ages by your red company car, I was going at least 57km down a 50 road, and your vehicle was centimetres away. Terrible look for your business. I’ve reported this incident online, and provided dash cam footage to the police; surely I’m not the only one judging by previous reports of bad driving on here (!) What silly behaviour in a clearly identifiable company car. Will never purchase from you again on principle, plenty of other local butchers to support that do not condone dangerous and reckless driving
