ellenborough falls kiosk

The food here is amazing considering that they have no electricity and cooking is done with bottled gas. The pies and desserts are amazing.

We visited here later in the day in the new year period. The kiosk had been run off their feet and had little left to offer but a ham and cheese sandwich. The locally produced ham on thick slices of homemade bread, with grated cheese and garlic aioli was the best sandwich I've ever eaten, and in such a beautiful setting. The coffee was excellent too, done in a hand presser. I intend to go back and try their other homemade items, everything on the menu board sounded tempting. Congratulations to the local ladies who run the kiosk!

The green chicken curry pies were superb - tasty and with delicious pastry. The tables with bright table cloths and flowers are not what you usually find in a national park in the middle of the bush. All this comes with friendly service

Table cloth with fresh flowers...inviting pleasant manager Amanda presented our delicious lunch with homemade bread and quiche Well we are on our way back home and we will spread the word in Germany:) On our next trip to NSW we will be back for more:) Thank you

A lovely walk around to the Knoll - on the 1.4km stroll we did not see another person. To cap this off we had a bite to eat at the kiosk - what a great surprise, so well done to Amanda for her "vision" in providing food a lot better than one would expect. Amanda was friendly, cheerful and full of suggestions about her menu - most of it freshly cooked in her gas oven. The pies were just as good pies should be - not too much gravy, meat/chicken/vegetables aplenty and tasty spices. For desert we (4 of us) tried the Pumpkin pie with ice cream - sooooo sweet and delicious. Her coffee was good as well.The kiosk is nicely set up with tables and chairs under shelter and was the perfect way to finish our visit to the falls. A visit to the falls and the kiosk it certainly worth the drive through some spectacular bush scenery.

A great surprise to get such amazing food in the most unlikely place. Home made quiche, vegetable soup with home made bread, gourmet pies and some beautiful deserts.Amanda does an amazing job with her cooking and uses locally sourced produce.Worth the visit for the food, the beautiful falls are a bonus!

Wow what a wonderful surprise to find this most delightful little cafe at such a beautiful place in the Manning Valley near Eland NSW. Amanda one of the Managers was engaging and so friendly and caring and also that day had cooked various pies and pastries and scones and fresh Rye bread. Well how delicious were they! We had not had the like in 15000 kl we' ve done over the last 6 months of Eastern Australia. Thankyou Amanda for the satisfaction and enjoyment of our visit....

What a surprise - after driving an hour on dirt roads to get to the Ellenborough water fall, the food from the kiosk in the parking lot was fabulous! I had the best chicken and mushroom pie I've ever eaten, and the scones were heavenly. What a gem!

We had such a lovely Easter camping break, made even more memorable by the delicious blackberry tart at the Ellenborough Falls Kiosk. This was our second visit to the kiosk (before the falls walk we happily gobbled up a sausage roll and chicken pie!) and we will definitely be coming back!

There is a small kiosk atop the falls producing home cooked food. Cakes, slices, pies, sausage rolls etc. We visited on Easter Sunday so the park was extremely busy. Pies and sausage rolls had all but sold out for the time being, except for the pepper steak pies. Delicious, one of the best pies in a long time, straight out of the oven! And here was a teenage boy making more to go in the small oven! Can't get much fresher then that Chunky meat with the right amount of gravy, and home made sauces to accompany the food, but didn't try these, the pies do not need them. Great stuff from a tiny kitchen in the middle of no where!

We saw the sign for the kiosk well before we arrived at the Falls and thought we might find the usual stuff sold such as cans of soft drinks, packets of crisps and chocolate bars. Instead we had such a fabulous surprise. Firstly the kiosk itself is a lovely small wooden construction with a covered veranda on which there were three small cafe style table and chairs, table cloths and delightful small bunches of fresh flowers. On the shelves were delicious looking and smelling freshly baked pies, both meat and fruit, pasties, breads and cakes and more. The coffee was hand pressed and delicious too. As there is no electricity at the kiosk everything is baked or heated on/in the gas stove. There is also locally made organic raw honey, Elderflower cordial, fresh eggs as well as postcards and more on sale. We had both savory and fruit pies which were absolutely delicious! It was a brilliant start to our visit to and walk around the wild and beautiful Ellenborough Falls. Make sure you time it right as the kiosk is open on only on weekends and during NSW school holidays.

We arrived at the kiosk near closing time and the last homemade pie & pasty had just been sold! The wonderfully warm and friendly proprietor Amanda apologised profusely and offered a sandwich, again very sorry that she'd run out of her homemade bread. We weren't very optimistic at this point until she offered us some Turkish bread with a choice of fillings. My smoked salmon, capers, salad leaves & organic avocado (home grown) in generous proportions was one of the tastiest sandwiches I have ever tasted! And my husband's choice of freshly carved ham, mustard & home grown tomatoes was equally as good!What a gem of a find in this stunning place! We will return if only to taste the pies! Thank you Amanda.

While visiting the falls make sure you also go the cafe. Located in the car park at the falls there are some nice choices for refreshments and snacks and some postcards and visitor information. A great idea at the falls, i wish more national parks had something like this. The owner's friendly and welcoming, knows about the area and adds to the visit experience.

Amanda your wonderful lunch just made myself and my friends day!! We loved the chicken breast in rich creamy sauce with mushrooms and the veggie hotpot. The coffee is the best on the Bulga and the chocolate dessert was the perfect end to a perfect meal!! We just love the Ellenborough Falls Kiosk, thanks for a truly memorable lunch!!

Amanda's kiosk is the best spot to get information and most of all to try delicious homemade pies straight from the oven. Her cakes are devine . She makes the best coffee and hot chocolate! What a wonderful surprise to find such an amazing place and person in a beautiful natural surroundings !
