❤️ A little life update from Laneway Lunchbox… ❤️
Firstly, we are BUSY! The café is busy, online catering is busy, and Christmas is fast approaching!
Like many small businesses, we’ve had plenty to navigate with rising costs, fuel prices, supplier increases and wage changes. We held off on our usual July price increases and have spent considerable time finding ways to keep our prices as reasonable as possible for you.
Now, let’s talk CHRISTMAS! 🎄
YES, we are absolutely doing Christmas catering this year! Salads, roasts, desserts and all the usual Christmas fanfare will be available.
With the introduction of our salad bar, there’ll also be more variety and some exciting changes to how we offer Christmas catering this year.
PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONAL CLOSURE
My son is getting married on October 23rd, and yes, we’re catering the wedding. It will undoubtedly be my favourite catering job of all time.
Our chef, Caleb, is also getting married on October 22nd and will be away for a few weeks, and our third grandchild is due towards the end of November!
So between running the café, catering, weddings, grandchildren and being a mum of four adult children with families of their own, life is a little crazy right now!
You may have noticed I’ve been quieter on social media lately. There’s nothing wrong with the café, nothing dramatic happening behind the scenes. I’m just BUSY, and social media has simply had to take a back seat while I focus on my family, our staff and our customers.
CHRISTMAS RELEASE 🎄
Our Christmas menu will be released November 1st, Christmas Eve catering pickups will go ahead as usual, and our website will close around December 17th.
We’ll also take our usual break from Christmas Eve until after New Year’s, giving our wonderful staff some valuable time with their loved ones.
So please bear with us while we navigate this very busy and exciting season of life.
To every single one of you who continues to walk through our doors, order your morning coffee, grab your lunch and support our little business, THANK YOU!
Not so many Insta posts but it’s all still happening, we promise.
