Casual Dining
Enjoy an espresso coffee, cooked breakfast, morning or afternoon tea or lunch at the Farmhouse, available most days but please book ahead so we can be prepared. A limited set menu is offered depending on available produce and the season.
Take away coffee is currently also available (as a temporary trial) without booking if the COFFEE sign is out. Please phone or text Jan if you want to check if we’re open before driving: 0429658804.
EFTPOS available.
Cooking Classes
Cookery classes are available at the Farmhouse for small groups of 6 to 8 people, for a range of activities, including sourdough bread making, cheesemaking, and fresh pasta making. Or book a day-long country cooking experience and long lunch with a group of friends.
Functions & Events
Book a group function for a special event, lunch, or dinner. Our seasonal set menus can be tailored to suit your requirements. Dining options include inside spaces for small formal dinners (minimum 8 people), or verandah and garden for larger groups and more casual meals, depending on the weather and season.
Late Spring at the Farmhouse
We are currently fully booked until Christmas with as many functions as we can manage at the moment.
We will be closed over Christmas, New Year and early January this summer due to family commitments. We expect to re-open in mid January.
Next year we will continue to offer breakfast, lunches, and dinners for small groups, also long lunches with optional hands-on cookery experience, special group functions and cookery classes.
Mulberry season is in full swing here with loaded trees and jam making underway. We are trialling lots of mulberry recipes and preserves. If you’re here for a booking in November you are welcome to bring a container to pick your own to take home. Just be prepared for crimson fingers! We are also making elderflower cordial while the trees are flowering. The weather has turned hot, the paddocks are drying out, and the spring flush of flowers have mostly finished, sadly!
We are finding our place suits small groups of friends or family who appreciate a simple casual country style setting as a place to meet and relax.
For those interested in cooking classes, you are welcome to gather a small group of friends and suggest a date, or join an advertised class next year.

Eliza - June 2023
This was a really special afternoon, and not just because we spent it eating and drinking wine in the sun with the fam, but because the very existence of this place, especially so close to home, opens up a world of possibilities. Carroll Gap Farmhouse is rooted in tradition, but paves the way for a more diverse and interesting dining scene that we really don't see a lot of in Australia.

Wonderful hosts and a beautiful property :) We had an amazing time enjoying delicious food and a taste of farm life at Carroll gap and we will definitely be passing through again! Thanks to Jan our bellies were always full with fresh bread, cheese and other delights, while Bob gave us some good insights into rural living and farming. We'll be seeing you again 😊

Absolutely charming setting in a colonial era ex-schoolhouse, surrounded by beautiful trees and gardens. Everything is homemade in traditional style and the whole house feels like it has been transported instantly from the Victorian era. Jan is a delightful host and her food is exceptional.
