Although the service was adequate and the location superb, Lachlan's misses an opportunity to build a menu and guest experience on its unique location. There must be many colonial menus and recipes that could be adapted for contemporary dining. 8 Governor's used this residence, entertained guests and had a large scullery with its own farm and kitchen garden and the National Trust has extensive archives. I opted for a ploughman's lunch and had a strange interpretation of this classic dish, which included a slice of orange, topped by a slice of kiwi fruit and garnished with half a dozen grapes. No attempt here at seasonality, but lots of references to a 1990's NSW leagues Club.Perhaps this was...
We held our wedding and reception at this venue and we could not have been any happier. We were unlucky enough to have had to reschedule several times over the past two years due to the pandemic. Martin and the team were nothing but accomodating and helpful. There are many beautiful spots we could choose for the ceremony and it was set up beautifully with care and attention. We asked for a high tea for our reception and we have nothing but praise and compliments from all our guests on the quality of the food and the promptness and care of the staff. Thank you for all Your hard work and for making it such a wonderful event!
Lovely time celebrating my Bridal Shower at Lachlan's Old Government House. Martin and the team were very helpful during planning and setting up the marquee on the day. Beautiful marquee room, with everything included from table cloths, napkins, crockery etc. Standard High Tea selection with Scones, sandwiches, sweet tarts and warm quiches. Various Tea options, coffee, juice and sparkling included. Our package went for 2.5 hours but could have easily used and extra 30 mins-1 hour. Also would have liked some more hot selections but overall, a really lovely day and would recommend.
I had a wonderful birthday yesterday at Lachlan’s Old Government House. A delicious high tea was served after receiving a lovely greeting from Phill and his “young” colleague. Our champagne, orange juice and selection of teas were wonderful as was the beautifully set table and fine china.The gentlemen were so friendly and kind, even offering to take photos for us to help celebrate the occasion. We were even given chocolates as we left. I can’t speak more highly of our beautiful day. Thank you all.

Excellent! We had a party of 16 for high tea on 24th April 22, the venue was great, we were given our own private room. The high tea was lovely, especially the scones, we had a lot of food left over and the waitresses gave us take away boxes to take the food home. Our waitress was lovely and did not rush us at all. Price was very reasonable for a high tea. Everyone was very happy with the venue, we can highly recommend Lachlan's Old Gov house
We had a bridal shower in the private marquee at Lachlan's Old Government House, and it was absolutely beautiful. Martin was very responsive to all communications prior to the event, and the service and staff on the day were excellent. Everyone at the bridal shower loved the high tea, the beautiful set up in the marquee and grounds. Will definitely be back for another event or to try out the restaurant.
Visited here for the first time with a group of friends. The place is beautiful. Really liked that there was on-site parking because Parramatta is a pain to find parking at times. The staff was lovely. The food was filling and they were able to cater to our different dietary needs, but would love to see a bigger variety of teas. Overall it was a good environment and had a lovely time.
I came here for a bridal shower in a marquee and it was lovely. Service was good and the high tea was really good. The garden is nice to take photos with friends. Loved the small pies and the scones with cream and jam. Yum!

I came here for a bridal shower and we had the high tea. While the high tea didn't blow me away, the setting of old government house within Parramatta Park is lovely and the service was friendly.
I was given a voucher for high tea. I was amazed how much there was to eat and the beautiful teas were delightful. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon.
