"I used Capers for event I needed catering for and the feedback from the attendees just had to be passed on in the form of a glowing review. Not only was the process seamless placing the order, owner & staff are absolutely wonderful but then came the food and WOW! All home made pastries, generous in portion sizes and lovingly laid out on platters for me to use. If you are after catering, do not hesitate to get in touch with Sue and the team here. They will see you right and they do it with ease. Thank you guys. We'll deserved 5 stars all round."

"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. The staff were helpful and friendly and cleared away our plates at the appropriate time. There was a microphone available for speech makers. I purchased the special pack of 5 frozen roast dinners for $45 to take home. They were a good size and tasty."

"We decided to give these meals a try. We ordered from the menu, and they were delivered right to our door.. we put some straight in the microwave and from the delicious aroma coming from the microwave we could not wait to dig in.. Great food and good portions. In the photo is a small meal and it's a plate full of goodness..these are great to have in the freezer for a good feed in a few minutes and you won't be disappointed..I have no hesitation in recommending Capers meals on wheels.."

"First time going here. It's tucked away down the back end so can be easily missed. However this is a quaint eatery. It looks to be an older demographic as we were the youngest there, but maybe not enough people know about this gem. Service was good with roast of the day for $15 and take home containers of bikkies or heat and eat meals, unsure of their prices. Lovely artwork on the walls that are for sale. It was clean and tidy and has restrooms. It also caters for children with toys and highchairs. We had pies and mocha coffees. The coffees were good and wow the pies! I have searched for a decent pie and I finally found it. The lamb and mint is amazing and the flavours just sung to my taste buds and a good size. We also had cheesecake and apple and custard tart and they were Devine too. Prices were on par with everywhere else."
