Masons November & December updates and important i

Masons November & December updates and important information

I don’t normally start thinking about Christmas until after my birthday (at the end of this month) but as with many things, it’s all a bit different this year. We are noticing a high volume of forward bookings so I thought I’d take the time to give you all an update on Masons happenings:

Bookings – guests are much more organised this Christmas with Friday and Saturday nights currently fully booked up until the 18th of December. There are a few available tables available on that evening of the 18th but please don’t delay if you are considering booking.
Please consider our other dinner options of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings with more availability during those nights at this stage. But please don’t delay as we have also been booking out ahead of time during the week.
To ensure a fabulous experience with us, we are currently not taking booking sizes greater than 10 with only 1 table of 10 to be booked on one lunch/evening service.

Instant online reservations can be made via our bio 👆 – click on the Online Reservations tab.
If you have a specific booking inquiry, please email Simon via the email icon which you’ll also find via the link in our bio.

Trading Hours – our current trading hours are
Lunch – Fridays and Saturdays from 12 noon – 4pm offering a Lunch Roaming set menu only.
Dinner – Tuesday – Saturday from 6pm offering a Chef’s Selected Roaming Menu only.
Please ensure you let us know of any dietaries at the time of booking. (Really important for us chefs to have something prepared for you)

Holiday Break – our final service for 2021 will be lunch on Friday 24th December and we will be re-opening for dinner service on Tuesday 4th January 2022. Bookings are open for January and we look forward to welcoming you in the New Year.

Many thanks, Sonia 😊

OK Bendigo! It's time to start your Christmas gift

OK Bendigo! It's time to start your Christmas gift list and thanks to our amazing community's suggestions, @iheartbendigo has put together a list of all of the great places to SHOP LOCAL this year to make it super easy!
We all know how much our local, independent retailers and artisan makers have been impacted over the past two years, let's give them the Christmas busyness they've been hoping for.
Just remember, for every $100 you spend at a local, independent store, $70 of that stays within our community. So it's a real win/win!

Head to the link in our bio 👆👆 and click on 'Buy Local This Christmas' to get started.

Image pic thanks to our friends at @indulgechocolates who offer amazing hampers packed with local produce 👌👌

NOW HIRING! 1st Year Apprentice Chef We are looki

NOW HIRING! 1st Year Apprentice Chef
We are looking for someone who is:
·         Passionate about food and hospitality
·         Is reliable, hardworking, honest and can take instruction
·         Has a strong desire to learn all facets of cooking from bread making, sauces, pastry, butchery and all the other preparations which are done in-house
·         Is super keen to learn about local produce and how food is grown through farm gate visits
This is a unique opportunity for a passionate person to learn all facets of cooking at Bendigo’s most awarded restaurant. Everything is made in-house at Masons so you will have the opportunity to learn these based on your ability to learn and skill level. Yep, that means you start with the simple tasks and build on your skills. The quicker you learn, the more we’ll teach you. That includes all areas of the kitchen from pastry to sauce to small bites. So no prior experience necessary.
You will be rostered for 7 shifts a week with any over-time paid and have Sundays and Mondays off. We close the restaurant over the Christmas and New Year period so you can spend time with family and friends and rest. We are a busy venue so we appreciate that everyone needs some time out. In saying that, when you’re rostered on, we expect 100% effort.
If this sounds like you, please send through your resume to Nick (chef/owner) via the link in our bio (click on the envelope next to the instagram icon) or pop in to see him after 3pm, Tuesday – Saturday (please avoid service time)

It’s been such a joy to have the opportunity to watch - and partake in a small way - in the development of Sharlee’s @dja.wonmuruk ‘Yes Teas’ and how an incredible community of women can come together to empower positive outcomes.
Like any great recipe, it’s essential to bring together the perfect blend of ingredients;
👉 The experience and knowledge from Aunty Julie and Melinda who are the @murnong_mamas_ to teach and guide.
👉 An enthusiastic, intelligent and creative entrepreneur – Sharlee Dunolly-Lee.
👉 An encouraging community to support and encourage.
👉 And the interest from the community and beyond to hear, read, taste and learn; Sharlee is quite the superstar appearing on National TV and print numerous times with her products.

Most recently Domani Madigan visited Bendigo for the article I have linked in our bio. Many thanks to @victoriatogether for promoting and encouraging people to explore the rich flavours and tastes of our region. We are a @bendigocityofgastronomy after all!

It’s our final week of Masons-At-Home and our co

It’s our final week of Masons-At-Home and our collaboration with George and his team at B&B Basil as we begin plans for a re-open on the 26th of October. To say we are excited to see dine-in in the near future is a little bit of an understatement!
George’s Meal Kits will continue in the future with me taking a smaller role in consultation as his team takes on the hands-on role of preparations in George’s newly built kitchen on farm – I’m not sure when George sleeps but he’s always working around the clock to continue to build a more resilient and strong business. If there’s any feedback or suggestions you’d like to share with us regarding the kits, please send me a DM or comment below. Your feedback is really valued, especially when designing and implementing new things.
We’ve created some new goodies for Meal Kit #7 and you’ll find all details and ordering on the Bendigo Community Farmers Market online store via the link in our bio. 👆 I’d like to say a huge thanks to Chris, the BCFM committee and Laurie at The Good Loaf for allowing us to be a part of the market family for a few weeks – we’re so grateful to have had this opportunity and thank you! It’s allowed our team more hours and inspired many collaborations and flavours which has supported many regional producers. Please continue to order via the BCFM online store and opt in for home delivery where possible as this is your way of supporting further local employment and a stronger local food system.
It’s been a joy to prepare and pack so many different dishes over the last weeks with Masons-At-Home – we have all learnt an incredible amount and thank all of you who have purchased, enjoyed and shared on social media your special moments at home. We look forward to welcoming you again for dine-in but for the meantime, our last Masons-At-Home menu is now available to order online via the link in our bio. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a vegetarian option this week and appreciate your understanding.
Many thanks and we look forward to cooking and presenting you food such as the one in the pic,

@bandbbasil MEAL KIT #4

We’ve seen some pretty incredible presentations with our previous Meal Kits so we thought we’d keep things simple this time round to allow your own flair to shine!
This week we’re spicing thing up a little with @thegoodlifefarmco fresh chilli pasta which is the perfect partner to George’s new product; coriander pesto.

What’s in the Meal Kit this week?

🌱 B&B Basil coriander pesto – new product line for George and he’d love your feedback!
🌱 B&B Basil microgreens – red sorrel, chives, Greek basil and mizuna
🍽 The Good Life Farm Co fresh chilli pasta

The kits are designed for TWO people and come with full instructions (which will be published online and emailed to you)

Cost per kit is $25 and if you don’t want to miss out, head to the Bendigo Community Farmers Market online shop to purchase which is via the link in our bio

(ordering closes at midnight Tuesday 21st September)

Pickup, if you choose that option, is from the weekly Bendigo Community Farmers Market on Thursday 2nd September from 2pm – 4.30pm at The Good Loaf Sourdough Bakery & Café.

Don’t forget, HOME DELIVERY is also available for $13 – select the option when confirming your order in check-out.

I cannot tell you how much of a POSITIVE impact your purchases make each week and I’m hoping you’re loving preparing and enjoying them as much as George loves growing them. Keeping our local businesses busy and employing locals is so important right now. Every dollar you spend makes such a BIG difference.

And we all love seeing George smile.

Thank you 😊

It wasn’t quite the easing of restrictions we were hoping for; only 10 people to dine-in does not fit into a financially viable business model for us so we’re grateful to be able to continue providing happiness through our Masons-At-Home offering over this weekend and we’ll re-assess over the coming days for next week.
There are still some pre-orders available for Masons-At-Home for this Friday and Saturday as well as our sourdough and smoked miso butter so please consider supporting us this weekend! 🙏
