Gillooly’s Farm gets a glow-up, and Coco & J are curating the menu
Gillooly's Farm is being restored as Gillooly's Gardens, with Coco & J curating the food at the new family restaurant, Gather, and the Good Stuff Market. Here's what's coming.
Gillooly's Farm, a beloved Gauteng picnic spot for generations, is set to undergo a transformation into Gillooly's Gardens. The 44-hectare property, owned by James Gillooly for over 80 years, will be closed until November for renovations. The project aims to create a "safer, more welcoming" destination centered around nature, food, family, community, and live culture.
Coco & J, the husband-and-wife duo behind a popular South African lifestyle brand, will be curating the food and overall experience of the gardens. Their involvement is not an endorsement but rather an extension of their own lifestyle and passions. Gather, a family restaurant, and the Good Stuff Market will be at the heart of the reimagined gardens.
The team behind the project also plans to introduce family-friendly activities, community events, and a series of live shows in the amphitheatre, with more details to follow.
