SANDSTONE CAFE-GROVEDALE

WELCOME TO SANDSTONE CAFE

Grovedale’s Sandstone Café located on top of the Grovedale hill on the Torquay Road has become a major player in the suburban local food scene over the past 6 and a half years thanks to owner and renowned Local Chef Simon Parrott.

“At Sandstone Cafe we wanted to create a Niche in Grovedale, more tradition than trend, and if our repeat customers and diverse clientele are anything to go by we have been able to do that. People like the fact they can come in and get that simple food, their food, all taste buds are catered for, and old-fashioned service still takes pride of place. It’s also a place where the huge array of cakes and slices – all made on-site – will tempt every sweet tooth. With a relaxed atmosphere and open-plan setting."

Sandstone Cafe is open seven days a week from 9:00am for breakfast and lunch and Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 6:00pm for dinner. We have a lovely private courtyard that can seat 30 to 40 people on a nice day.
