Capers Cafe/Capers on Wheels — Restaurant in Palmerston North

I attended the Cafe for a private birthday luncheon. It is in a corner of the Countdown Supermarket carpark so plenty of parking outside. We sat at long tables with little room between to fit us all in. That was OK because we only had to get up to get food from the buffet table. The food was fresh and simple - ham, chicken, potatoes, carrots, peas and lettuce salad with bread rolls on the side, just right for a lunch. The cheese cakes dessert may have been provided by the lunch organiser. And there was the birthday cake too. A lovely non-alcoholic punch was presented in a big round glass bowl.

First time going here. It's tucked away down the back end so can be easily missed. However this is a quaint eatery.

Our daughter rang you from London and ordered a special Christmas meal to be delivered to us as she knew that we would be alone on Christmas Day due to ill health. We would like to thank the staff who prepared such a lovely generous meal for us both. and also we would like to thank the wonderful delivery man who delivered the meal on time and put it in the fridge for us. I am not sure what size meal our daughter ordered but I am sure she had not expected that there would be enough food for each of us to have 2 dinners and 2 lunches. We are regular customers and frequently come in and get meals and take home to our freezer. Our 2 favourite meals are roast lamb and vegetables and corned beef and vegetables. Once again thanks very very much.
