GIFT VOUCHERS AVAILABLE:

Still stuck on what to get someone as a gift? You’ve done the candles. You’ve done the socks. You’ve even panic-bought something online that you immediately regretted.

Let’s upgrade your decision-making.

We’ve got gift vouchers available for both Hartley House Cafe and Alchemy Pizza—aka the gifts people actually get excited about.

Because instead of “here’s something to dust,” you could be giving:

A seriously good gourmet pizza from Alchemy (Sebby’s dough alone should probably count as a love language)
Or a slice of our famous Hartley House carrot cake—the one people “accidentally” come back for again… and again… and again

It’s the perfect last-minute gift that somehow looks like you planned it weeks in advance. Thoughtful. Delicious. Slightly genius.

So if you’re running out of time, motivation, or both—this is your sign. Gift vouchers. Done.

Available for purchase at both Alchemy Pizza and Hartley House cafe.

Alchemy Pizza, our sister business is back this Friday and Saturday serving up the kind of pizzas that ruin you for everything else (in the best way possible).

Open Fridays & Saturdays, 4pm–9pm, we’re firing the oven and keeping things simple: proper dough, proper ingredients, proper pizza.
It’s just Proper🤣

Sebby will be in the kitchen doing what he does best—handcrafting every dough from scratch, letting it rest, stretch, and come to life the way real pizza should. No shortcuts, no fuss, just time, skill, and a bit of obsession. The pizzas he creates are seriously an art form in itself.

These are the pizzas you don’t just “grab for dinner”—they’re the ones you plan your whole day around. Come down, grab a table, and see what all the noise is about.

🚨 Harty Fresh Update (Please ignore Google… we certainly are) 🚨

We are officially OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

Yes. Seven. Not Thursday–Sunday. Not “maybe if Google feels like updating itself.” Not “according to the internet rumours section.”

We’re open every single day now — serving up all your favourites:
🍰 legendary cakes (yes, that carrot cake is still here)
🥧 our famous goat pies
☕ and the best coffee you’re going to get in town (we said what we said)

Google is currently insisting we are still on our old hours. I, on the other hand, am in an ongoing, deeply emotional and slightly unhinged negotiation with it to fix this. Wish me luck.

So if Google tells you we’re closed… respectfully, Google is wrong.

We’ll see you in-store, seven days a week, same chaos, better hours.

🚨 Public Service Announcement 🚨

Rumour has it we’ve closed permanently…

Well, we’re delighted to report that the rumours are greatly exaggerated. 😆

Hartley House Café is absolutely NOT closing, and we’ll be back open from Wednesday, serving up all your favourites once again.

The slight delay has simply come down to some exciting new kitchen equipment taking a little longer to arrive than expected. While that may not sound thrilling to everyone, we can assure you there’s no greater excitement for chefs than shiny new toys in the kitchen. It’s basically Christmas, but with stainless steel.

From Wednesday, we’ll be open 7 days a week, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back through the doors.

We’d also like to apologise again for the cancellation of the recent Car Boot Sale. Moving forward, we’ll make sure we keep everyone updated as plans evolve.

As for the markets, we’ve made the decision to press pause for the winter months. Unfortunately, vendor numbers haven’t been quite what we’d hoped, and let’s be honest—standing in a paddock at 7am in winter isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time. Many markets take a seasonal break this time of year, and we’ll be doing the same.

This isn’t goodbye to markets forever—just a “see you later” until the warmer weather returns.

In the meantime, come and say hello from Wednesday. Grab one of our famous Goat Pies, indulge in a fresh slice of Carrot Cake, and help us christen the new kitchen equipment properly.

Thanks for your patience, your support, and for keeping the local rumour mill entertained while we’ve been away.

See you Wednesday! ☕🥧🥕

A little update + our apologies again from Hartley House Café 🌿

Due to a few unexpected delays with scheduled renovations, we won’t be opening on Monday as planned. We’ll now be reopening on Wednesday instead, giving everything the extra time it needs to be ready properly (and not half-finished chaos we’d all rather avoid).

We’re also sorry for the last-minute change around this weekend’s car boot — sometimes plans and real life don’t quite play nice together.

We know it’s not ideal and we appreciate your patience more than you know. We’re working hard behind the scenes to get everything back on track and looking better than ever.

See you very soon, slightly delayed but definitely worth it ☕✨

📣 CAR BOOT SALE UPDATE-CANCELLED

Unfortunately, due to a few delays with things happening behind the scenes at the cafe, this month’s car boot sale will be cancelled.

We know — not ideal, especially if you’ve been gearing up to finally clear out that garage that’s been “organised” since 2019.

We will absolutely be running the car boot sale again, and we’ll share an update as soon as we have a confirmed date ourselves.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

On the bright side… your garage just got a bonus extension period. Plenty more time to find out what’s actually in there, rediscover long-lost treasures, and pretend you meant to sort it all out months ago.

📣 Hartley House Cafe Update. CLOSED UNTIL MONDAY.

We’ve run into a few unexpected delays recently — the kind that don’t send a calendar invite and somehow multiply overnight.

Because of that, we’ll be closed until Monday, and unfortunately this means our car boot sale scheduled for Saturday is cancelled. We’re really sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience more than you know.

But it’s not all pause buttons and hold music…

From Monday, we’re back open 7 days a week ☕🍽️
And we’re also launching a brand-new menu we can’t wait for you to try.

And this is just the start — there are plenty more good things on the way for Hartley House Cafe and our sister business, Alchemy. We’ve been quietly working on some exciting changes, and we’re nearly ready to share them.

Thanks for sticking with us while we iron out the wrinkles. We’ll see you Monday — caffeinated and catching up.

18/06/2026

Unfortunately we are closed today due to some small renovations - we are getting some new equipment.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

🚗🛍️ HARLEY HOUSE CAFE CAR BOOT SALE THIS WEEKEND! 🛍️🚗

A quick note for our stallholders: bump-in is from 8:00am. Yes, the application form says 7:30am. Unfortunately, that was written by someone who clearly overestimated everyone’s enthusiasm for being awake before coffee. ☕😂

We’ve got 10 awesome stallholders joining us this weekend, all attempting the age-old challenge of turning clutter into cash.

Garages are being emptied, sheds are being reclaimed, and cupboards are finally giving up items that haven’t seen daylight in years. Somewhere amongst it all are treasures, bargains, collectibles, and at least a few things that made someone say, “No, don’t throw that out—I might need it one day!”

And if you’ve been thinking about having a stall, it’s not too late! Dust off those boxes, load up the car, bring your goods, and join us. There’s still room for a few more people keen to turn their clutter into someone else’s treasure.

Come along for a morning of trash and treasure, bargain hunting, coffee drinking, and general stickybeaking.

You’ll find:
☕ Great coffee
🥧 Delicious food, including our famous goat pies
🍰 Café treats
💰 Plenty of bargains
😄 Lots of treasures looking for a new home

Whether you’re hunting for something specific or just enjoy finding things you didn’t know you needed, there’s bound to be something that catches your eye.

And remember: every item sold is one less thing somebody has to explain to their spouse when they get home. 😂

📍 Harley House Cafe
🕗 Stallholder bump-in from 8:00am

Come down, grab a coffee, find a bargain, or bring a carload of things you’ve been meaning to get rid of since 2019. Help our stallholders keep their promise to return home with less stuff than they arrived with!
