A hearty kiwiana theme is what Clifton Cafe has gone for in this year's Signature Dish competition, which manager Sue Robinson says reflects the cafe's rural location.
As a result, Ms Robinson said the cafe, situated on Clifton Station, had chosen to serve a lamb burger.
The dish was a collaborative effort between senior chef Karama Sega and Ms Robinson, reflecting the core menu items of the cafe.
The dish is served with a homemade fresh beetroot relish, grated carrot, fancy lettuce, mint aioli and herbed feta cheese.
The cafe's homemade kumara chips accompanies the burger.
