Kitchen Renovations

Exciting new changes are coming to Baringo!

We’re currently busy upgrading our main Bistro kitchen facilites at Baringo, which may lead to some delays in food service, as we operate out of the smaller kitchen space between our Cafe and Platform 3.

While we’re endeavoring to maintain service-as-usual as much as we can; there some small changes we’re forced to make, over the few weeks while the renovation and fit-out works are completed.

With this, we are currently not able to offer outside dining, on Friday and Saturday Evenings, due to the high volume of service and severely limited capacity of our temporary kitchen space.

We ask our dining patrons on a Friday and Saturday Evening to please seek an indoor table for dining, inside the Whistle Stop Bar and Bistro. We appreciate everyone’s patience with us and these temporary changes, and look forward to sharing our new and exciting facilities that are coming soon at Baringo.
