The Gardens Wagga has provided private catering on multiple occasions for my workplace. Brent, Shannon and the whole crew are a delight to work with, nothing is ever a problem and they are always willing to accommodate custom requests. Highly recommend for any of your corporate catering needs!

Every thing is reasonably priced, coffee is creamy and not burnt, home made quiche was absolutely delicious! Service with a smile!

This place is bloody wonderful. Never had a bad feed. The food is always good. I was there today when the little trains were running and it was extremely busy. There was a big wait as to be expected but the quality of the food waa still perfect. With all the fun stuff nearby 10/10 great place to take the kids

My best friend brought me here before we went for a little walk to see the animals next door. I ate the steak sandwich, my best friend had the chicken burger, my 2 youngest sons had the fish and chips, and my eldest son had the pie. We also tried the ice cream Everything was delicious. The only reason i was disappointed was because i live so far away and can't just go up the road to get more of these. Probably for the best as i would spend a lot of money buying steak sandwhiches. It was fantastic! The food was fresh, the staff are lovely and it's a nice place with a lovely little view of the park. A must-see and must try if you're in wagga :) Thanks guys
