After driving hours through rain we hit Swan Hill ready for a quick takeaway a little past lunch time. Tan's Tuckerbox came up on a google search and appealed because of the food variety AND it wasn't in the busy central area. We were towing a camper and wanted easy parking and great food. We got both! Service was friendly and helpful and we grabbed a random selection of ready to go foods - a slice of vegetarian fritatta (coulda done with a bit more seasoning), a cheese kransky and the best ever chicken and leek pie (we'd come back for that!). Wished we had time to try some of the fresh cooked menu options - unique burgers, hotdogs and daily specials. Brilliant, you saved the day, thanks!!

Went there for lunch and got a Western burger for myself. My partner got some sandwiches, a small potato salad, and a small chicken and pasta salad. The burger was huge and tasted great. My partner also enjoyed her meal greatly. Tan is fabulous! Very friendly and helpful. If you are in Swan Hill, you have to come here for a feed. You will kick yourself if you miss out.

I've been frequenting this cafe for my breakfast and lunches over the last couple of weeks while up in Swan Hill. I've aways experienced polite and friendly service. The food is great with a wide, decent selection and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.
