What Diana Marks doesn't like about Headquarters Cafe:
Seriously has to be the worst cafe in Nelson. The chicken in my chicken salad was out of a packet deep fried, crumbed reconstituted mush. My partners fish was, again, frozen packet fish. I’ve been here a few times as there is little choice in Brightwater. I keep hoping it will improve. I’ve stopped hoping. Such a shame View all feedback.
