The Timber Mill, Officer

The Timber Mill is located in the middle of a new housing estate Timbertop (hence the name). To me, the cafe looks like it is housed in a semi-permanent structure - there is a wooden frame but no walls separating the seating area and the deck outside, just thick plastic sheets to protect from the wind if needed. It is good for when the days are hot and more seating is required. 

Parking can be found on an empty lot next to the cafe. There are no clearly marked parking spaces, and the area is not paved. Just park where you like! There is a man made 'lake' in front of the cafe which was half full when we were there and was fenced up to prevent anyone from falling into the water. So, there really isn't much of a view. 

The cafe may be located in a housing estate that is still undergoing development but the food is certainly well developed and delicious! The cafe is family owned and they want to make you feel like one of their family too, the service is so friendly and warm. 

I ordered the double cheeseburger which came with fries and house made tomato relish. The relish was delicious. I ate all of mine and then stole some of Gaz's as well. The beef patty in the burger is moist and well cooked. It was saucy and full of veges like lettuce and tomato, it felt fresh and as healthy as cheeseburgers can be. 


Gaz ordered the Pulled Pork and Corn Fritters. It came with avocado slices and tomato relish. The fritters had lots of real pieces of corn, but was a bit bland. Each mouthful when eaten with a piece of pulled pork and tomato relish was just nice though.


Most of the customers in this cafe are residents of the housing estate. Some popped by for a quick takeaway coffee, some for brunch after walking their dogs. I think we were the only ones who had travelled a distance to get there for lunch. We were at a function nearby and had decided to try cafe out after seeing the reviews on Tripadvisor. We were definitely not disappointed!
