Family Friendly Cafe open for Easter on Hume Hwy

On the Melbourne / Sydney route, Barney’s of Bookham is a kid friendly and pet friendly diner-style café located off the Hume Highway between Yass and Gundagai. It will be open throughout the Easter holiday to make sure that holiday-makers and locals have a place to stop and get some good, homemade food and coffee, rather than having to resort to the usual fast food.

Barney’s will be open every day from 9am-4pm including Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The café will be offering some special Easter treats including a Smoked Salmon Brekky Stack; a mouth-watering Smoked Salmon Baguette; Whiting Fillets and Chips served with a fresh side salad and for those people looking for a sweet alternative, special Easter Chocolate Muffins, all homemade on the premises.

The main menu offers a wide range of mouth-watering salads, sandwiches, homemade cakes and coffee, all made from locally sourced produce and freshly prepared in the café. Barney’s gourmet pies have been a firm favourite with visitors, offering a tasty range including Lamb and Rosemary, Pepper Steak, Curry Beef as well as a traditional Aussie Mince Pie. In fact the food has become so popular that it received a mention in the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2010 and 2011.

For customers wishing to take a piece of the country home with them, Barney’s stocks a wide range of some of the region’s best produce including La Barre olives and oil, Bush Roses and Barney’s own range of chutney’s, sauces and jams.
