The region boasts a thriving food scene dating back to 1884, now with monthly farmers markets and a diverse range of cafes and restaurants in Gulgong, Kandos, Mudgee and Rylstone. Outside The Square (OTS) is a café that provides real food sourced and prepared with care and heart. Every day soon after the sun is up; OTS staff are baking fresh cakes and preparing fresh ingredients for the day.
