At Zoo Events, food is an essential part of the experience. Led by the renowned team at Restaurant Associates, our culinary offering is shaped by quality, creativity and a commitment to sustainability. Every dish is prepared fresh on site, using seasonal ingredients sourced from local producers wherever possible. Whether it’s a long-table dinner, a garden picnic or a cocktail reception, we aim to create menus that feel just as memorable as the setting they’re served in.
Our food and beverage packages are designed to suit a wide range of events and preferences. From breakfast meetings and afternoon teas to cocktail hours and multi-course banquets, each menu is thoughtfully curated and can be tailored to suit the tone of your event. We also offer a variety of seasonal options for weddings and celebrations, and cater to all dietary requirements with care and precision.
Beyond gala banquets, Zoo Events offers a wealth of fine delicacies to sample. Visit one of our cafes or kiosks within the Zoo for a sit down, take away or pre-ordered meal or treat. Sample a handmade Wagyu burger or Buddha bowl at the Lakeside Cafe, a BBQ sausage while watching grazing giraffes at the Giraffe Lookout Cafe or pick up an iced latte to sip on the lawn from Railgate Cafe.
Beyond catered events and private functions, Werribee Open Range Zoo offers a selection of casual dining spots across the grounds. Visit one of our restaurants, cafés or kiosks within the zoo for a sit down, take away or pre-ordered meal or treat.
Enjoy our famous Wagyu burger or super salad at the Meerkat Bistro, relax on the grass of the Cheetah Lawn while trying a traditional African boerewor, or treat yourself to an ice cream while watching the hippopotamuses play at the Hippo Beach Café. During the school holidays and other peak periods, Werribee Open Range Zoo offers additional food options and venues, and you can pre-order our takeaway Lunch Pack for groups of 10 or more all year round.
