I'm sorry I've been neglecting you Instagram! To be honest, it hurt too much. The joy of sharing new dishes and flavours is what I love so much about this platform and when we were forced to close; it was like a hit in the face reminder of the craziness we were grappling our way through.
Thank you for your messages of support and patience; we can't thank you enough. You really discover the power of community during the toughest of times. We're not out of it yet but we're so happy to be able to bring the team together to offer you the Masons experience you've come to love in a slightly different way. Head to the link in our bio for more details via our website. Many thanks 🙏❤

After Daniel Andrews announcement this morning, i

After Daniel Andrews announcement this morning, it is with a heavy heart that we say, Masons of Bendigo will temporarily close until at least April 13th or as guided by future direction from the Prime Minister and Victorian Premier.
Please, I cannot stress enough the importance of everyone being vigilant in staying home unless absolutely necessary. The sooner we slow this pandemic down, the sooner things will resume as normal.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank our incredible staff who have been so supportive and strong during this time. We will get through this together.
Stay safe everyone and thanks so much for your support, it's very much appreciated. Nick and Sonia

*Please note*
Our restaurant maximum capacity is 65 so we have not been effected by Scott Morrison's announcement this morning.
We are continually assessing our structures and procedures in ensuring a safer dining experience for everyone as new daily information comes through from the experts.
We have made adjustments today in ensuring extra space between each table and we continue our diligence in relation to health and hygiene practices.
We appreciate that people are making decisions on cancelling reservations based on many factors; can I please ask that you consider purchasing a voucher from us (which has an expiry of three years) to help us through this difficult time.
We, our team, suppliers, producers and many other small, local businesses who we support are relying on you, our awesome community to not forget us.
For the month of March, simply mention this post (or give our team a friendly foot shake) and you will receive a bonus 15% on your voucher purchase as a thank you. That's a free glass of local wine or beverage to celebrate when we all come out of these crazy times.
We look forward to your ongoing support,
Nick and Sonia

Please call our team on 54433877 to arrange a voucher or pop into the restaurant anytime from 9am Tuesday - Saturday.

This post from 3 years ago just popped up and was a welcome distraction to my fevered attempts to keep myself updated on what our industry could possibly be facing in the near (and long term) future. It's a reminder of all of our incredible local producers we support on our menu, who have become our friends. Small businesses who work incredibly hard to provide us with healthy foods. Food connects communities and in this time of uncertainty, please take a moment to think about your food choices and where/who you buy from. Please keep our local producers in the forefront of your minds next time you need to shop. Now more than ever is the time to support all food related small businesses in our region. #supportlocal #shoplocal #eatlocal #masonsofbendigo #food #wine #beer #cider #knowwhogrowsyourfood #bendigo #bendigoeatdrinkshop #foodfossickers #explorebendigo #UNESCO #cityofgastronomy

About a year ago I met a quiet, hard-working young

About a year ago I met a quiet, hard-working young lady at a Bush Tucker course run by Aunty Julie in Castlemaine.
It was during this workshop that an idea was formed and it's an absolute delight to see Sharlee launch her products at this Saturday's @harcourt_applefest
The image shown is one of our tea canisters that I asked Sharlee to paint which she used as part of her Year 12 art folio. Along with two other canisters, it housed the first test batch of her teas which we trialled at the restaurant.
Follow her journey at @dja.wonmuruk and head along to the festival on Saturday and buy her teas. Appreciate their depth of flavours and support a budding, local young entrepreneur!

Rabbit is one of those proteins that brings mixed food memories, what's yours? We enjoyed cooking it when we owned The Bridge Hotel back in 2004 and it's wonderful to have found a local producer who can supply us with a quality product now at Masons. Thanks Zario!

There's no arguing our Central Victorian region is missing one thing - a large body of water! We're fortunate to be able to source Goulburn Valley River trout from our Alpine neighbours. Have you tried this dish yet? It's flavoured with locally grown deliciousness!

And it begins! I love this moment at the restaurant, just before we welcome our first guests of the year, when the chefs are double checking they have everything ready; the bar person is making pre-service coffees and the front of house team are double checking bookings, table plans and menus. Let's do this Team Masons; bring on 2020!
