On the southern shores of the Lyttelton Harbour sits Orton Bradley Cafe nestled in a stunning 650ha park. On a still day the birdsong is majestic, the locals are friendly, and the air has a sweet untouched feel. The Café is north facing and is drenched in all day sun, with cover from giant chestnut and walnut trees. 

Visiting Orton Bradley Cafe is like stepping back in time and returning to a place that feels like home. Our food is a mixture of delicious house baked goods with the occasional mediterranean influence. Fresh, local and honest food which will vary based on the whim of our cafe team. 

We are also the home of Casa Paella and renowned chef, Edrick Corban-Banks. If you are wanting to experience his world class paellas, please contact us by phone or email at least 24 hours ahead of your visit to make sure you don’t miss out.
