Fabulous large spacious dining areas inside and out. Staff friendly, efficient. Fabulous cabinets full of food but not much vegan and gluten free to choose from ... Also bits and pieces of gifts to purchase.
Stop here for lunch. There was an excellent cabinet food and menu.
It was a beautiful day to sit in the outside area.
Definitely would stop here again when I'm next in the area

Would recommend.
Outstanding lunch spot! Warm atmosphere, Great food and a perfect place to stop on a long drive.

We popped in on our way back to Auckland and loved this cafe. It was very busy but staff were so calm and helpful.
My order had accidentally been missed, but it was so worth the wait (Toasted Reuben) and they even offered a free drink.

Great stop for breaking up a trip, a must do. Good variety of food and great coffee. Lovely park for kids to play convieniently attached to the cafe accessed via quaint little bridge.

Stopped at the Fat pigeon twice when travelling from Auckland.
The food was great each time, my son loves the curly fries.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Awesome cabinet options. Serving on the small side.
Service was good, given the fact that it was crowded.
Wonderful to find vegan lunch options at the Fat Pidgeon. Very tasty food, served quickly, efficiently and with a lovely smile. It was a really nice place to break our journey and have a lovely lunch on two occasions
Great place. They have a very big breakfast menu. I only got a coffee and a savory Danish. I enjoyed it a lot! Would definitely come back

Added bonus of playground next door for the kids.
