My new favourite local eatery…read more Oozing with charm and tranquility, St Margaret's Cafe is a perfect way to unwind with a stunning garden outlook (I imagine especially so in Spring), warm and inviting service and the food..., the food was just amazing! So good in fact, that I had to have dessert with my breakfast (and I would totally recommend the season fruits with mango sorbet and nut brittle to all).

A friend of mine recommended this place, and since I was on holiday, a drive out to the Karaka…read morecountryside sounded like a nice lunch excursion. And WOW! Am I glad I made the effort! This place is seriously one of Auckland's hidden gems. The name "Country Cafe" does it no favours. We turned up on a stunning spring Friday, and discovered the most gorgeous country garden setting, complete with lake - St Margarets is apparently such a popular wedding venue during the summer months that Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays are mostly fully booked. I can see why. Entranced by the scenery, we sat down & got just as engrossed in the menu! A delicious selection of salads & more substantial main dishes made it really difficult to choose. We opted for the Chargrilled Smoked Chicken & Candied Walnut Salad with potato & bacon & dressed with maple aioli, as well as the Oriental Sticky Slow-Cooked Pork Belly Sandwich with salad & spiced pineapple chutney. I learnt a while ago never to go past pork belly on a menu, and I haven't been disappointed yet. Both meals were stunning - visually gorgeous & utterly delicious. Well worth the drive, and with such picturesque surroundings to walk off your meal, you can bet I'll be making the drive again.

I've only just started frequenting this establishment in the last couple of months…read more Don't let the shop front fool you, the dining area is an extension to the old building. There is even a fenced outdoor garden area with dining tables, chairs and potted plants in full bloom at the moment. The indoor area is large with a children's corner. Plenty of room for two diners and a couple of larger tables for dining groups. Since frequenting this place, I've only ever had their Butchers Big Breakfast. I absolutely love it. The poached eggs are just the right runny. The streaky bacon is crisp and the sausage is a good gourmet sausage which I would guess as being a Cumberland sausage. I usually buy their iced tea but on this visit bought their antioxidant tonic drink. If you have a sweet tooth like me, then you must try their caramel oaty slice. It is absolutely dee-lish. It is buttery, the caramel is well made and the oats give it a chewy texture...and is freshly made on site. I hate when I bite into a stale sweet treat which has been in the refrigerated cabinet too long. That has never been the case here at Butchers. As cafes go, this is moderately priced and well worth it. Their food has been has been made with care and attention. Highly recommended.

We all ordered from their cabinet and got the savoury muffin for myself and had a bit of my sister's vegetarian stuffed kumara as well as tried a bite of their bacon and egg pie. Was great to have all of these heated and plated with a stick of butter with my muffin and mayo/ ketchup with the kumara. The pie was stuffed with egg and bacon pieces which was great and the muffin was soft and also packed with vege pieces. The portions were fantastic- huge and very filling even though it wasn't a complete meal and was all tasty. They have self serve water in the corner if you aren't ordering drinks which is handy. They have great indoor and outdoor seating just behind the counter found in the main building. Small and large tables with backed chairs available for groups of several sizes and a lot of them were taken by the time we'd arrived. Looks like quite a popular place. Decent sized car park next to the seating area that you can enter through if not through the main butchers shop entrance door. If you're in the area, this is a good spot to take a break for re-fueling.

We found a suitable table, and was soon being given bottled water and given the menu's. Although the menu was not extensive, there was enough to think about, we were advised of what the daily specials were. I chose the the Mushroom Medley, and my wife had the daily special of Bubble & Squeak. Nice upsell by the waitress in tempting my wife to have some bacon on hers. The coffee's were nice without the sometimes bitter after taste. The place is a prime location for letting the children have fun on the playground equipment in the square. We enjoyed our visit and would be coming back another day.

There was a nice array of slices to accompany the drinks, ginger crunch, brownie, Louise slice etc. My only beef was that we sat at the table with our food and waited and waited and waited for our drinks to be brought to the table. We had just about finished the food when the coffee arrived. Why can't they just make the coffee and bring it to the table quickly after we have sat down??? If they have to keep the sweet food in a refrigerator it is going to be quite cold and firm to the bite. So a hot drink is needed to accompany it. Please try harder Yakkety Yak.
