Beechwoods Cafe

Used to be a nice spot to eat on the way to Christchurch. Now the food is really bad, even burgers are barely eatable. At such price definitely not recommended to stop by.

Good cafe; pleased to find it as it’s the only one open past 3: 30 in Murchison.

Stopped in for a coffee and muffin at 15: 45 and they happily served me without making me feel rushed. Others came in after me and all were served with a smile.

Coffee was good and the bran muffin awesome, hardly find those on the menu and was very pleased.

Lots of cabinet food options as well as a kitchen menu, ample indoor and outdoor seating, good wifi and clean toilets make this a 5star spot in my book.

Stopped off for a mighty Beechwoods Burger and wasn't disappointed! Top service, top taste. Thanks guys.

After the really insulting exchange at the counter we went to our table. My grandaughter had what we thought was the blueberry muffin we had ordered. When she got to the middle it was full of strawberry jam - she hates strawberry. I collected my quiche on the way out the door after we got sick of waiting for it to turn up. Including us there were 5 people in the cafe so surely not that hard to get it right.

Loved this stop off on our tour of NZ. Great coffee and in lovely surroundings inside and out. Welcome break and stretch of our legs! Lovely friendly staff.

Food was not nice, service was ok, but the amount of money we had to pay for fish and chips was not worth what we got for it.

My husband had a Steak and mushroom pie which was tasty and not too hot. 2nd pie he has had here in 3months and both very nice. Son had chicken burger and said it was GOOD. It certainly looked good. Coffee was also Very Good and again not too hot. Well done team.

Stopped there for a quick meal. Service is fast and friendly but not very accurate asked for poached eggs got fried. Side order of mushrooms straight out of a can. Average large breakfast. Coffee not bad but wont be winning any awards either. Should have complained about eggs but the counter staff was overwhelmed with customers.

Would I stop next time.the judges are still out

Good array of food in the cabinets but would have liked a.small sandwich and not the huge dagwoods that were available. The toilets were very messy, with paper everywhere, large puddles of water on the floor, which could have been very dangerous and the toilets would not flush. There is a scribbled message on the side of the wall telling you to push the lever in to help with the flush, but tried this with no water coming through. I went to the counter and advised the young girl that the toilets needed attention, to which she said she would pass the message on. We sat for another ten minutes and no one went through to check.pretty poor for a large cafe on a tourist route I feel.

Very ordinary food has gone down hill a long way. Used to be our go to stop on way through.will look elsewhere next time.

The service woman was lovely and the Beechwood burger was fantastic.
Apricot slice was a tad dry but I’d still buy it.
5/5
