Great cafe / diner along the drive to Wellington, meat pies are fantastic and the chicken nuggets are prepared fresh. The cafe and facilities are clean with a colourful decoration of truck pictures.

We come through every year for Speedway plus road trips and always stop here for the good food. Service is always the best aswell. Nice and clean and the staff are always welcoming and up for laugh. Would highly recommend this diner. When sitting in there you always see a different photo of a truck that you never saw on the last trip. Mike and Erin Alexander
