Classic rural cuisine: Cafe Mayfield

Expansive, eye-catching views stretch between Christchurch and Geraldine along the scenic route 72. Nestled within, a delightful little country town awaits.

Mayfield sits an hour and a half from Christchurch – a drive well worth a day trip. Find true country hospitality at Cafe Mayfield. With a story to tell, the family-owned premises evolved from a takeaway to the bustling, warm and welcoming eatery it is today.

Open seven days, the dine-in menu features all the essentials for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The big breakfast is especially popular, alongside the pancakes and eggs Benedict, says owner Deborah McCormick. Beautifully presented fish and chips, burgers, paninis, and toasted sandwiches tempt for lunch, while the team produce whatever coffee pairs best with your treat of choice. Try one of the goodies from the cabinet – a scone or a slice, a biscuit or a decadent muffin baked fresh onsite.

Cafe Mayfield offers more than just great food and coffee. It has a wonderful safely fenced playground for children where they can enjoy ice-creams – and, if you like, burn off energy while you relax indoors.

Enjoy Kiwi country hospitality at its best and lock this in for your next roadie.
