This is a sort of rustic but fabulous food truck on a wonderful local farm. IT can be sort of "pop-up' so best to phone or check them out on facebook for open times. open most days during high season, but still open some regular times during off season. fresh local food - stuff like burgers and pizza, but farm to table style.

great for grabbing a drink on the patio in summer with great burgers, appis, salads and casual fare. Also open select hours in winter. Nice option as you can just walk to it from the hornby ferry, no need to take your vehicle on that ferry if you just want to grab a dinner or lunch at the Thatch.
