The Midge Tallong

“A country café and artisan & general store offering reasonably a priced menu with great coffee. On premise they make their own artisan cakes, breads, pies, preserves and more with all our own recipes that use seasonal produce and have nothing artificial added. Just the way Grandma use to make them! They sell local art and handmade items, and of course we have great country hospitality. Pizza on Friday night is a hit both eat in or take away 5-8pm. Sharon has a wealth of local knowledge. So, pop in and chat and enjoy being indulgent in a place that exemplifies life in the country. Also available are 2 fast EV chargers. Whilst you pop in for lunch or coffee, you can charge your vehicle.
