As far as quality and price, this place is the best stop for a bite to eat in this town. My…read moreboyfriend and I popped in for some warm seating and a hot meal. He ordered the chicken wrap and I ordered the ciabatta with cream cheese and marmalade. It came with three pieces of fresh bread grazed with a lemony sweet marmalade and delicious cream cheese. I separated the bacon because the combination was weird to me but I ate it after and it was a nice finish. Overall, a very satisfying meal. The chicken wrap was flavorful and hot, a tad bit greasy/drippy but overall satisfying. We also ordered some english breakfast tea and a flat white which came with a small taste of chocolate fudge. Our total was $27 which was fair in comparison to some of the other few options in town. I'm glad we looked around and settled on this spot. They also have a lot of knick knacks and variety of things to browse from lotions and bug repellents to books and jewelry. I would recommend a visit.

There is a gift shop next door. The menu sign in Chinese characters mentioned handmade dumplings, so I figured, why not give it a try? When we walked in, there were only two staff members and no other customers. I ordered two kinds of boiled dumplings: lamb with carrots, and pork with prawn. My partner had the barbecue pork with noodles, and my friend ordered barbecue pork with rice. Prices were $24.50 for the noodles, $21.50 for the rice, and $19.50 for nine dumplings. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The portions were quite small for the price, and the dumplings were all mixed together on the plate, making it impossible to tell which was which. My partner's noodle soup was extremely salty yet bland at the same time. When I asked about the type of noodles, the cashier, who spoke Mandarin told me they were Cantonese egg noodles. Being from Hong Kong and familiar with authentic Cantonese cuisine, I can confidently say they were not egg noodles. Overall, it was a quick stop for something to eat, but given the small portions and lackluster flavors, we ended up heading to Mrs. Woolly's General Store afterward to fill up which was a gem!

And wow, what a cozy ambiance and darling spot that fits the small town vibe perfectly. The interior decoration matches the charm of the building's exterior perfectly - moody, cozy, vintage and intellectual. I love all of the nods to the town's history and New Zealand with the artwork and decor. Because we were outside of typical lunch hours and had just eaten, we didn't have much of an appetite and just split the BBQ brisket sandwich. Fare and prices are a bit on the higher end because it's an elevated gastropub, so note that when visiting. We liked but didn't love the sandwich - good enough for a quick pit stop! Service was friendly but we got the sense that splitting a meal was a bit frowned upon. Nonetheless, a cozy spot to get out of the rain with darling decor and exterior patio seating when not wet!
