I’ve always loved the atmosphere of Mayfair and The BoileRoom. I Had my birthday dinner party here with a set-menu organized with their staff, the food was amazing with great portions. The staff was very kind and responsive to any requests needed for setting up the place as well as just communicating with my guests. The important thing for me was that my friends were happy with the food and the setting and they definitely enjoyed the whole night. I love the unique twists on certain meals in the menu, making them a little bit more exciting to try.

Definitely a hidden gem in Upper Hutt city that everyone needs to check out asap!

Went unknowingly on a new menu night, with a few minor improvements could be excellent. Keep away from doors on cool evenings

Always a great place to eat. The coffee is great and my favorite dish which is eggs Benny is always delicious. The staff are friendly and the cafe has a great feel to it, really cool decor and a lovely fireplace.

Great food support by an incredible range of wonderful & new beers makes this a local favourite.

The chef seems to go out of his way to deliver an experience the diner will appreciate.

The decorating is interesting with its local history & there are often special tasting sessions that are worth getting along to.

Rob and team – thanks so much for the past year of spectacular dinners! My husband, myself and our friends have enjoyed a number of spectacular meals this year, and we have loved creating special menus for our get togethers, and the food has always been amazing! We will definitely back in the new year for a night out!

Has this place changed hands or cooks? I went there with my daughter yesterday as was hanging out for their usually fab caesar salad. Daughter ordered hash stack which is her fav – disappointed much!! 1 soggy hashbrown does not a stack make! My caesar tasted and looked like someone had tipped the last of a packet of brought croutons and crumbs all over it. It was served in completely the wrong type of plate, it was a horrible mushy mess. At $18 I expected better!! My girls and I choose to go there for catchups and gatherings…..! Eating out is a treat and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect consistency. Yes we told 2 staff when asked how our meals were. Whether they do anything about it we’ll never know…..

Just want to provide update. Thank you Rob for your offer. Glad to hear you’re still there. I accept that my last dining experience was a glitch and that you’re still one of the best cafe’s in Upper Hutt. Thank you again for your response.

Please pass on to Rob and the team how delighted we all were with our Christmas Experience at your place, everything was wonderful.
The food was spectacular, no other word for it.
The antipasta platters were stunning and generous. The’ Bernice special’, was a refreshing treat and enjoyed by all. The mains were to die for, the veggies perfect. I’d like lessons on how to make pavs like that!!!!
The service was great and the room looked wonderful. That would definitely be a very hard act to follow and we will definitely be telling everyone what a great experience we had.

Went to the little restrant out the back of Mayfair which I didn’t even know was there (boil room or something like that) very small and cute, perfect for a date as it’s dark and lit by candle light, had the steak and have to amit it was one of the best I’ve ever had, shared a very yummy cheese cake with my friend as it was large enough and both had a coke, bill came to $40 each which is great for a steak that tastes like gold. Place could be a bit warmer though.

My family and I often go to Mayfair to have brunch and dinner. We also use the facility to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. I am very happy with the place and food. Great ambiance and very good service. They are always making sure if you are okay and treat you with respect as well as feeling special. Thanks Mayfair. Keep it up!
