“Being locals, we eat a several times per year at The Mended Drum (inside the local pub) and I always choose the Caesar salad, which must be the best in the Northern Rivers!! If you like anchovies, you must mention that to get 'the full Monty'. (Too many people have wasted them, so they leave them out unless requested.) The other dishes look good, too.”

Lucky's Seafood

Home is a very pretty store and we go there to buy fresh baked bread, salads, and chutneys. As Alstonville Plateau residents for 36 years, we prefer to visit other cafes in town for coffee, cake and conversation . The vibe inside Home is frenetic!!! and not conducive to relaxing with friends.
