Galliford's Restaurant at Southwick's Zoo

Galliford's Restaurant & Tavern, located near Southwick's Zoo, serves excellent New England fare in a cozy, rustic setting in Mendon, MA. Robert Galliford Brewer is honored at Galliford's Restaurant & Tavern. Southwick's Zoo would not be the popular New England destination it is now if it weren't for Robert Brewer, the patriarch of the Brewer family. His family thought that naming the restaurant after him would be a worthy homage to his memory. Weddings, corporate outings, fundraisers, family reunions, baby showers, and other events are all possible at our facility. From start to finish, from set-up to clean-up, including menu selection, our educated and courteous crew is available to assist you. Always delectable, and always cooked with care. Within the Wild: A Dining Experience We've been able to create one-of-a-kind, intimate dining experiences thanks to the new normal. Small-group outdoor seating in the middle of nowhere. Allow us to assist you in creating a unique event to commemorate graduations, anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, and other milestones. When booking your "Within the Wild" Dining event, keep in mind that there are a lot of elements to consider. Some animals may become less active or even sleep at nightfall, while others may become more vocal and energetic. Please keep in mind environmental elements such as weather, temperature, sunset times, and mosquitos if you are dining outside. Your sales representative will work with you to alleviate any concerns you may have.
