Sunday breakfast at the Little Clydesdale Cafe in Pirongia - A break in your New Zealand holiday

Sundays are great days to scout out new places to go and have brunch and this weekend I helped my little Sister, who is a bit of a cow cocky at heart and lives in Pirongia, celebrate her birthday at the Little Clydesdale Cafe which has only been open for about four or five months.

Little Clydesdale Cafe is definitely something you would expect to find in a rural setting, complete with horse stuff, saddles and barrels but both the food and staff were excellent.

Coming from a 15 year background in Hospitality and a family who seems to be fairly well immersed in the industry I had a little chuckle at the menu which had been prepared for our table of 12 as it was hand written on an A4 piece of paper and there was only one copy. To their credit they took drinks orders and got coffees to us while we passed the menu around.

The selections were everything from your traditional Kiwi breakfast to Spicy Chorizo and potato melt on Turkish bread. I chose the breakfast and complete with real bacon and sausages, which I believe were local, was definitely bloody tasty.

The kids had a blast sitting on the saddles and looking at the clydesdales not to mention enjoying drawing on the pen and paper provide to help keep them entertained. Very easy to lose a couple of hours here even with the kids in tow.
