The Lily Pond aims to display East Africa’s top contemporary artists, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. You can soak up the atmosphere of this serene and special place. Come and enjoy a healthy lunch on a deck, overlooking a lily pond.
• The Lily Pond prepares its lunches – using the finest of natural, locally-grown ingredients.
• We believe that there is nothing quite like growing our own herbs. We take them straight from our herb garden and onto your lunch plate.
• This ensures that fresh, homegrown flavour is added to all of the meals that we prepare.
• With the great Mount Kenya as a backdrop, you can also enjoy watching the white egret, hunting the frogs in the pond!
• There is fast, free, Wi-Fi in this beautiful and tranquil environment.
• The equator also slices clean through the middle of the Lily Pond restaurant deck. This means that they you start with a healthy main course in the Southern Hemisphere, and finish with a sumptuous desert in the Northern Hemisphere!

Everyone writes down their wishes and then hangs them onto the “Wish Globe”. Wish at http://www.lilypondartscentre.com/WishGlobe.html
