So this was the last day of school hols for my olderst daughter and tomorrow she was beginning her high school journey. So this gave us a good reason to treat ourselves! So I asked the kids "where would you like to go for lunch" I was secretly hoping they would opt for the The Red Shed so was very happy when that popped out of their hungry mouths! So off we went, it is only a 30 min drive for us but well worth a day trip from any other area in Auckland and surrounds. I do beleive they have won Rural Cafe of the Year for the last 2 years. It is a beautiful setting with delicious food and very well priced, great quality and it is in the Entertainment book which is always a winnner for us! It was a boiling hot day so we had a good wander around the beautiul gardens to find the coolest table, I don't think this existed today as it was just super hot! After much deliberation and as usual me being persuaded to go "half halfs" we were all happy with our choices and ordered. We were not disappointed and LOVED our food. We had great lunchtime conversation about new schools and food!! As we normally do, as a budgeting tool, we all just drink tap water and then we have money left for dessert!! You should see the desserts in the place. Hope my photos do it justice!! I sent the kids off to choose 4 desserts and surprise me. Once again no disappointment at their arrival!! We decided we would play dessert pass the plate, the idea being that you take a spoonful of the dessert in front of you and then pass the plate clockwise and try a spoonful of the next plate and ths would keep going until we all decided our order of deliciousness of the desserts and they were all gone.........this party worked and we all found our own favourite but try as we might we could not eat them all!! So wrapped in napkins they made their way home with us!!
This is a place we will come back to again and again.
