The Orchard - Jamisontown, New South Wales

We chose to celebrate Mother’s Day here on a friend’s recommendation (another mum!) who said it was the perfect spot to relax while the little ones play — and she was absolutely right.

It was a busy day, so things started a bit slowly, but totally understandable given the rush. What really stood out was how accommodating and kind the staff were, even with a few tech hiccups. They made us feel looked after, and I’m so grateful for that. The food was absolutely delicious — thoughtful, flavourful, and a little unique (in the best way!). I had the best lunch, and the kids happily polished off theirs too — always a win.

If it hadn’t been raining, I know we would’ve spent more time enjoying the Orange Orchard and the playground, which looked like such a fun space for the kids.

The only thing is a strong request to please fix the pathway leading to the parking as that was quite a hazard (at least for the cars).

All in all, it was the perfect mix of warmth, comfort, and family-friendly vibes. Highly recommend this place for families looking to unwind over good food.

Beautiful venue with three dining options as well as plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Quiet on weekdays but a nice social atmosphere on weekends. Large servings of delicious food.

There's a play area for kids which is good, but the food at the takeaway is too expensive and too average in taste and portion to justify the price. For example, tbe kids burgers are just a slider and a handful of chips for $12.
On top of that at the beginning of lunch they had no fish left, no particular cheese left, and other items.
Also disappointed at the wait during a slow period was over 40 minutes for simple takeaway which is not good.
Wouldn't reccommend the place based on this, however there is a second eatery there which i didnt try on this occasion.

Decided to have brunch here after a walk along the picturesque Nepean River… and it didn’t disappoint! I had the Chilli Crab Scrambled Eggs and it was divine 😋

This spot has quickly become a favorite of ours. It’s family-friendly with plenty of room for prams, and my family loves the relaxing vibe, especially when enjoying coffee and their tasty bread. It can get quite busy, so making a reservation is a good idea, though the picnic chairs are a convenient option if you don’t have one. The charming playground is great for keeping the kids entertained while the parents unwind over a meal. We've been here twice, and each time has been a pleasant experience. The bread and pastries at the cafe is outstanding and definitely worth trying. As for the takeaway food from the kiosk, I ordered the burger, honey chicken, and fish and chips. While the fish and chips and chicken were a bit bland for my taste, it didn’t detract from the overall experience.

I was a bit hesitant to have lunch here given the 3.6* average review as of today, but was pleasantly surprised!

Service is warm. The drinks came promptly. All the food we ordered was delicious. Our kid also enjoyed playing in the playground.

If there’s one thing I would call out, it would be the lack of savoury options for a kid’s meal. They only have chicken nuggets and chips. We ended up ordering an adult fish and chips meal for our 5 year old.

My partner and I came with out 1yo for brunch. She was sleeping (thank god) so daddy and mummy had an uninterrupted meal. And it was the prettiest French toast I’ve ever had, and the wonderful live music was the cherry on top.

Service was impeccable. The ladies who served us on Mother's day were lovely and made sure we were comfortable. Food was simple, satisfying and a bit expensive. It was raining that day and good thing they have scarves for the guests. Could have been better if they have heater in the outdoor dining since it was such a terrible weather.
