Door Gallery Cafe


Within the historic paper mill complex, this atmospheric cafe is named for the abundance of antique Rajasthani doors that are stacked against the walls. Its well-travelled owner, Graeme, cooks up well-priced pizzas, curries, cakes and scones, along with beers and wines. There's a stage for live music on Friday evenings and Sunday mornings.

Keep an eye out for Graeme's sheepdog, Flow, who, remarkably, guides visitors from the car park to the front door.
