   I have been coming to the wooden farmer for sometime now and, the consistency in the great tastes on the menu, even with changing menus, the friendly staff service and a great atmosphere for a fairly sized team outing, is the reason it's one of my favourite food joints to stop by. A day out in the Putaruru springs has to be complemented with a cold one and some salmon for sure at the farm!

   Stopped in for lunch today while passing through. I ordered the gluten-free chicken fettuccine but was served a regular one, even after mentioning I’m coeliac. Unfortunately, I’m now feeling the effects, which have been very serious. My father’s chicken burger was also overcooked and the bun was burnt, the burger also only came with a very small amount of chips which didn’t taste nice and weren’t cooked properly. Really disappointed and wouldn’t recommend or return back.

   We came here for lunch, just driving through. Food was quick and amazing. Server was very polite, cafe area was clean. Will definitely be back next time we travel through

   Highly recommend eating here. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was really delicious. Stopped here on a whim and I'm glad we did. My partner had the pork belly sliders, which were really good. I had ham on the bone sandwich which was really scrumptious. The fries were also tasty. I also had the cashew salad and it was amazing.

   Food isn’t bad, but a little pricy for lunch. But still a good restaurant for lunch.

   Waited over an hour for chips. Young barista girl is very sour and needs to work on her customer service and attitude. Young Indian man Sahil needs to not add things you didn't order to your order. Got a Coke in a can comes over with another Coke in a glass and lemon lime bitters we didn't order told us we ordered it and had to take it and continued to charge us. Understand your short staffed but you still have enough time to stand and chat at the front? $15 for a sundae that takes "5 minutes." Yeah, right over half an hour wait as well. Two scoops of ice cream and chocolate sauce are also humane robbery... No toilet paper in toilets had to use the disabled one. The pizza was good, at least.

   Many years ago we stumbled upon The Wooden Farmer. It was a bright Wintery day and we came in from the cold for soup and sliders that were hot and tasty. A mind-blowing surprise considering the roadside appeal. An oasis, in Putāruru. Not 2 words you’d usually expect in the same sentence. Fast forward to now. Hmmmmmm. The Bushman Breakkie at only $20 had to be a win. Surely? That was the Favourite Husband taken care of, but I fancied something different. Smashed avo and added bacon. From my seat I could see our food sitting on the pass for a good 10 minutes before it came out. That’s never going to help. The Favourite Husband’s looked ok, but it was predictably cold. We can be sure that no mushrooms were harmed in the making of the creamy mushrooms. This was basically just cream. It was underwhelming. But it was only $20 and the Favourite Husband will eat pretty much anything. Now - many would argue, why choose smashed avo when you don’t eat the bread? Because I wanted something different. Which I got. But not in a good way. The quarter of an avocado that I scraped off the bread was either brown from sitting on the pass for 2 weeks or so smothered in the sweet balsamic glaze that it was unrecognisable. I think the photos speak for themselves. The bacon was tasty though. I’d have starved to death without it. The rest rooms were dirty and in desperate need of a refurb. Wallpaper peeling off the walls, door not locking properly etc. Shame, it used to be worth a visit but no more. This was bad.
