Mother’s Day IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Come celebrate Mother’s Day with us here in the park. You can pre-order or just turn up on the day and order from our menu.

We look forward to helping you spoil mum!

One of our favourite days of the year is Mother’s Day. Its the day when we get to celebrate our favourite people and also a day when families and friends can relax in the park and celebrate. We’ve put together a special Mum’s Day Parisian Picnic Pack you can order in advance, or you can just show up, find a spot on the grass and enjoy the music and games right here at Yeo Park in Ashfield, Sydney NSW.

This year, we have Katie Rosewood performing on the day. A local mum herself, she will have her guitar and will be singing some sweet tunes for you to enjoy.

Pull up a blanket or a chair on the deck and enjoy the atmosphere.

Review by Pupsy - Dog friendly cafes in Ashfield

It’s hard to believe there hasn’t always been a cafe in this spot, considering it’s neatly on the edges of Ashfield, Dulwich Hill, Canterbury and Marrickville. It’s the understanding that a quality café should offer more than just good food and coffee coupled with an atmosphere that effortlessly blends into the neighbourhood that set Outfield apart. And that, to borrow from Richie Benaud, is marvellous.

Pupsy is a great resource for dog owners of Sydney. They visited Outfield not long ago and here is what they had to say….
”Kangaroo treats and bacon rashers available for the pups, as well as pup cups (oat milk frothed). Dog parents can enjoy specialty coffee, brunch and choose to sit on the deck or a picnic in the park location…”

Review by Concrete Playground

After spending "many hours kicking the footy or pushing the kids on a swing and wishing we could get a good coffee nearby," Inner West locals Caleb and Belinda Maynard decided to make their hopes a reality. And the 1950s former baby health clinic in the outfield of Ashfield's Yeo Park was the perfect place to do just that.

Time Out visited Outfield in the early days of the cafe… here is what they had to say…

“Sitting pretty on a grassy knoll in Ashfield’s Yeo Park, the former healthcare centre is a mid-century gem – all horizontal rooflines, mission-brown brick walls and porthole windows. Families gather under umbrellas and slatted tables or on provided striped picnic rugs beneath the trees, watching kids having a bat on the astroturf pitch.”

Review by DAILY ADDICT

Parents sit barefoot enjoying a perfectly brewed flat white and an open-top artisan sandwich in the dappled sun, while babies freely explore the grassy hill. The aptly named Outfield is the new Ashfield cafe bringing a sense of homely sophistication from indoors to out, to an inner west park-side (well cricket pitch-side) suburban locale.

Review by THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

Armed with sparkling pineapple and passionfruit sodas and an excellent creamy flat white, our table swoons through the smash’s layers of avocado, furikake (a spicy Japanese seasoning), fat and crispy chicken pieces, fermented chilli and lemon sprinkled with dill on gluten-free bread.

GOOD FOOD, SMH

How glorious to find a park in Sydney that still acts like a park, complete with a bandstand, a cricket pitch and plenty of room to fly a kite. For the next six months, it's our civic duty to be outside in the sunshine, so get your food to go, grab a picnic rug and a fold-up wooden tray to act as a table, and relearn the ancient art of not doing much at all for a while.

Review by BROADSHEET SYDNEY

Outfield is in a cute ’50s brick building with porthole windows overlooking a rolling park lawn. Its clientele looks as though it’s just strolled in from a stock-image library in the category “local community”.
