Delicious Culverden cuisine: Red Post Cafe
We are definitely looking forward to some warm sunny days over the summer.
Spring has been cool and unpredictable and to be able to dine outdoors in lovely surroundings will be a boost to many spirits. A special place to dine is in the garden of the Red Post Cafe in Culverden.
The cafe is in a picturesque restored villa; the garden echoes the period with its cottage-style plantings of irises and granny bonnets, roses and rhododendrons creating a riot of colour. The garden is so beautifully cultivated that it is visited by garden tours.
Beneath the shade of big trees you can enjoy the appetising food for which the cafe is famous. Light seasonal salads are perfect fare – Caesar, smoked salmon, Moroccan chicken or Thai beef salad – and of course there is the
cloud-like salmon soufflé that can never be taken
off the menu.
You can enjoy Red Post Cafe’s food away from the cafe itself as well. They have an out-catering service for all kinds of functions around the North Canterbury area they might be – anywhere is possible. The cafe owners are happy to recommend you food based on what you like.
It could be a morning or afternoon tea, or a set lunch or platters for a crowd. Whatever you choose you can be assured it will be delicious.
Red Post Cafe is open seven days. Monday – Thursday 8am – 4.30pm; Friday, Saturday and Sunday 8am – 5pm.
