Lunch at Te Mata Cheese

Yesterday we went up Te Mata Peak and on the way back stopped for lunch at the Te Mata Cheese Company's cafe. Like so many eateries in Hawkes Bay the food and service was very good indeed. The beautiful weather allowed us to eat outside which is all part of the Hawkes Bay eating experience. We had an antipasta platter for three including three Te Mata cheeses. There was no way we could finish it and brought home a substantial doggy-bag. Indeed we were so full that for dinner six hours later we just had a pick-at-it salad meal.
