Cheeky Goat
About
Cheeky Goat is a food trailer at 430 Abel Tasman Drive, Golden Bay, Motupipi. It is run by the same company that makes the pies served in Takaka township, though it operates as a separate trailer with its own menu. The trailer works with Kiwi Spirits Distillery, serving tapas-style food alongside cocktails. It offers dine-in seating in a casual setting suited to groups, with free street and lot parking, and is popular with tourists visiting Golden Bay.
Reviews
Fun and friendly place for cute decor and shelf for books in board games to keep the kids occupied while the grown ups talk Good food- make sure to expect tapas not full plates! A small but well done dessert menu.

This place is a true hidden gem. From the first bite to the last, every dish feels like a thoughtful journey of flavor. There’s a real sense of care in the way everything is prepared—you can genuinely taste the love in each bite. It’s the kind of spot that keeps you coming back, not just for the food, but for the experience. Once suggestion: Create a space where kids can play.

We tried a Gin Board and a Whiskey Board which were both great. Had multiple cocktails which were all very well made and tasty. The food was very good especially the Pork Belly. The food is very good value for money and so are the drinks. Highly recommend!
