Service was ok, didn’t order anything extra. The garden was partially well maintained. The pond was half full, maybe has some cyanotoxins in it. Checking the past reviews and the sales records there was an owner change in the land purchase march 2021. This could explain why the reviews in the past were much better. The whole lamb bbq was average, I have tried many better ones. Overall it was an ok experience with many areas that can be done better. Hope the owner can further improve the rest, I think that was the reason she bought this land: all other neighbours are farm lands but this one isn’t.

Food was pretty average especially the burger cos the beef patty was so dry and tough. Also the coffee here was the worst. My friend had the most terrible chai latte ever cos half of the glass was milk foam. But honestly the seating area was very beautiful and romantic.

My friend had his wedding reception dinner here. It is quite small, probably fitting around 50 people or so. It's not too hard to find, just keep an eye out for the church and its the next driveway down. It was quite far in from the motorway. The place itself is really nice. The gardens were amazing, with a large grassy area with games scattered around. There was also a pond behind the gates. The gardens were very picturesque. The dining area is open to the gardens so there were a few surprise insect interactions throughout the evening. They had quite a few beer selections, both bottles and on tap. The tap beers were craft beer. The food was quite nice. The smoked salmon was really nice. The meats for the mains (pork and beef) were cooked well too. We had a dessert trio of brownie, panna cotta, and lemon meringue tart, and all three were nice. It is a nice place for a wedding but it is a really small venue. They also had Mongolian lamb during weekends which looked interesting.

Really wanted to love this place. Beautiful setting. But service was appalling. Couldn't get the attention of any of the waitresses to take our order. Food took ages to come out. It wasn't just our table. This happened to most of the restaurant. Asked for some hot water and it took 20mins and 3 waitresses later. Lamb was amazing though. It was well seasoned and didnt have that bad lamb smell. It was tender and juicy.

Stunning venue from when you drive in the drive and park through to the view while you eat. We traveled out for a high tea in the afternoon and got a good table looking out to the garden. The high tea had some very nice savoury and sweet options, with a good selection. We also enjoyed the tea selection which was excellent and served in lovely glass teapots and nice china. Can recommend the hot ginger tea and the service was also very good, well worth the drive out

We visited St Margarets Cafe & Bistro for Sunday lunch and when we arrived, it was super busy and with the glorious weather, people were dining inside and outside. I ordered High Tea and was very impressed with the selection of salmon, Champaign ham, egg and cress and cucumber cream cheese finger sandwiches and spinach feta mini quiche with an assortment of sweets and freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream. My sweet cherry tea was the perfect accompanied to my first official High Tea experience. Other dishes which were enjoyed were the pork belly and a pulled pork burger. Thumbs up all round!
