Christmas in The Barn

The Barn on Flaxton has a reputation for serving delicious food and drinks, along with its gift shop filled with unique and quality offerings.

Managers Ange Bowen and Danielle Birks are now gearing up for Christmas.

“We are so excited about Christmas. We really celebrate the spirit of it here at The Barn, because we are all about community and sharing,” said Ange.

“We like to support the Blackall Range Lions Club, the MADD Brothers hinterland Movember group, and sell locally made lemon butter and tomato relish to support Restoring Hope Parkinson’s Therapy.

“And we still raise funds for our Compassion Australia young girl in the Philippines, called Nicole, thanks to locals donating their surplus fruit and veg to sell. All money raised from the local produce goes directly to Nicole, her family, her school and village in Barangat Gatas in the Philippines.”

The Christmas menu is full of the same delicious fare as usual, and tempting sweet treats, with some ‘specials’ up on the board.

“We cater for everyone including vegans, vegetarians and customers with dietary requirements,” shared Ange, “and have a scrumptious range of Barn-made meals and desserts that prove popular with locals, and tourists.”

The best part is, after a tasty breakfast or lunch, you can buy some Christmas presents in the gift shop, with everything ranging from jewellery and cushions to plant pots and preserves.

“We are running our ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ again, after it was so successful last year,” said Ange. “We offer 50% off giftware lines from December 1 onwards.

“Each day is a different item – furniture, cushions, artwork, kitchenware, and more. And we are doing our Christmas hampers again, filled with a variety of local produce. We also offer free gift wrapping during those 12 days and we are trading up until December 23 from 8am-4pm, seven days a week.”

You can visit The Barn and enjoy their tasty breakfasts, lunches and desserts, whilst finding a perfect one-of-a-kind gift, at 445 Flaxton Drive, Flaxton. Ph: 0410 514112. The Barn will be closed December 24-27.
