🍽️ We’re Growing Our Kitchen Team! 🍽️

The Bathurst River Café is looking for two new team members to join our kitchen as we continue to grow.

👨‍🍳 Position 1 – Full-Time Sous Chef

We’re looking for an experienced cook or chef who is passionate about producing beautiful café food in a supportive, fast-paced environment.

You’ll work alongside our Head Chef, helping us continue to build one of Bathurst’s most unique café experiences.

🥣 Position 2 – Kitchen Hand / Trainee Cook (Approx. 20 Hours per Week)

This role would be perfect for:
• A recent school leaver with an interest in food.
• Someone looking to begin a career in hospitality.
• A kitchen hand wanting to develop their cooking skills.

You’ll work closely with our kitchen team, learning food preparation, service and kitchen operations. As we move into the warmer months and business grows, there is potential for increased hours and career progression for the right person.

✨ We’re looking for people who:
• Have a positive attitude and strong work ethic.
• Enjoy working as part of a team.
• Take pride in producing quality food.
• Want to learn and grow.

If either role sounds like you—or someone you know—we’d love to hear from you.

Please send your resume and a short introduction via Messenger or email [email protected], or feel free to drop into the café for a chat.

Please share this post with anyone who might be interested! 🤎

Join us from 12pm today for the angelic voice of Ava Giddings accompanied by Gilby Glawson on guitar…

The weather is magical and Sundays are so blissful down by the river 🍃

🪩 Well... we're doing it! 🎉

A couple of weeks ago I asked a simple question...

"𝑾𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒊𝒅𝒔 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚?"

I honestly wasn't expecting the response we got. Over 36,000 people saw the post, hundreds of you commented with ideas, tagged your friends and told us you'd love to see something like this in Bathurst.

So... we listened. 💜

🎉 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠!

Think...
🪩 Disco lights
🎧 Live DJ Jet Brett
🫧 Bubble machines
💃 Helpers from the Bathurst Academy of Dance
👶 A dedicated Little Ravers Zone for our youngest dancers
☕ Great coffee and breakfast for the grown-ups

This is our very first event, and we'd love your help to make it something really special.

Our hope is that this becomes a regular Saturday morning tradition for Bathurst families—a place where kids can dance, laugh, make friends and burn off a whole lot of energy while parents enjoy a relaxed morning by the river.

🎟️ Tickets are now LIVE!

We've kept numbers limited so there's plenty of room on the dance floor for everyone, so if you'd like to join us we'd love to see you there.

𝐒𝐨… 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚.💡

As the mum of a very energetic 4½-year-old, I feel like Bathurst could do with more fun things for little kids to do that are simple, joyful, and deliver reliable midday naps 😂

So I’m thinking…

🎉 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞

Picture this…

🪩 Disco lights
🎶 Great music
💃 A dance floor full of little legends burning off some energy
☕ Coffee for the grown-ups
🥐 Breakfast while the kids have the time of their lives.

I’m thinking we’d start with 0–5 year olds from 9–10am on a Saturday morning, and if everyone loves it, maybe we’d add sessions for older kids too.

But before I go buying disco balls… 😂

𝑾𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆?

👇 I’d love your ideas…

✨ What songs do your kids LOVE?
✨ What would make this a must-do every Saturday?
✨ What food or drinks would you want available?
✨ Bubble machine? Glow sticks? Face painting? A mascot? What else?

And if you’ve got friends with little ones who’d absolutely be into this…

👉 Tag them in the comments so I can get their ideas too!

If enough people are keen, let’s make it happen. 🕺🪩💜

ACOUSTIC SUNDAY SESSIONS 🎤 🎶

Harrison Carter will be joining us from 11am today - keeping you warm with classic country covers, modern melodies, and smooth originals - all delivered with a charming smile 😍

Regularly featured at The Victoria Hotel, and other bars and events around the region, he is an incredible talent not to be missed (if you happen to be engaged 💍, don’t be surprised if you end up booking him for your wedding 💒)!

Sundays at the river cafe really are special. 🍃 A chance to pause, reset and connect before the beginning of a new and busy week.

So come and share a moment with us, relax and drift off to the blissful tunes while we take care of you…

Something a little different is coming to the river this Saturday. 🖤

Blake Sanders - the name behind Larry’s Group and some of Bathurst’s biggest nights - is bringing his decks to the River Cafe from 12pm.

Delivering cruisy Euro-house beats to start 🎶… Where it goes from there depends on the energy YOU bring! 🔥

Wrap up warm, grab some mates and a hard seltzer, find your table, and leave some room to move! **Puffer jackets very much encouraged. ❄️

Remember your pooches are welcome so long as they are well behaved 🐶 - we will have snacks and cosy beds for them to snuggle in.
