The Woolshed Cafe & Heritage Walk is a country cafe on State Highway 1, about a kilometre south of Sanson in the Manawatū. It sits between Wellington, Palmerston North and Taupō, and the website calls it a popular stop on the road. It has an audio-guided heritage walk, and sheep graze near the cafe.
The cafe is fully licensed and serves cabinet food and short-order blackboard meals. Breakfast, lunch and gluten-free and vegan options are served daily from 9am to 2pm. Dishes on the menu include a bacon and egg stack, brioche French toast with banana and bacon, house-smoked salmon on a potato cake, a pulled pork plate on corn chips and an Angus beef burger. Beer-battered fries, fish bites and penne pasta are also listed. The cafe has ample parking for caravans, trailers and motorhomes, wheelchair access, indoor and outdoor areas, and a private room for business meetings. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor area.
