New Café Provides Something to Neigh About

New Café Provides Something to Neigh About




Those who have visited the Pirongia Clydesdales in historical Pirongia Village will know there is plenty to look at throughout the carriage house and barn-style function centre and stables. But there’s something new at the Clydesdales’ home base which will add yet another dimension to this iconic Waikato business.

Building developments are in final stages of completion which will see a brand new café added to the Pirongia Clydesdales’ facilities. The new café (aptly named ‘The Little Clydesdale’) has been designed with families in mind and promises a truly unique and exciting addition to Pirongia’s list of attractions.

Café Manager and trained Chef Miss Karen Dingle says that The Little Clydesdale will provide child friendly facilities and a safe and relaxing environment families can enjoy quality coffee and country-style food. The Pirongia Clydesdales will provide wagon ride village tours by appointment and there will be a petting zoo with friendly farm animals to keep the children entertained.

For the history enthusiasts, the café will boast a selection of antique horse drawn and farming memorabilia, and original carriages, each with their own history outlined.

The café is set amongst picturesque farm surroundings while being only 1km from the centre of Pirongia Village, and easily located on State Highway 39. Miss Dingle hopes the café will attract those looking for a special day out in the weekend, and also group and club visits.
