The menu highlights upscale New England fare along with approachable favorites and seasonal dishes that showcase fresh ingredients. Over the years, Galliford’s has become a community favorite for everyday dining, celebrations, and meals shared before or after a visit to the zoo.

Situated at the entrance of Southwick’s Zoo, the restaurant reflects both the Brewers’ history and their ongoing commitment to offering guests a welcoming, comfortable place to gather.
