THEY say don\u2019t just count your years, make your years count, which is exactly what local foodie destination The Bungalow Restaurant is doing.<\/p>\n
Just having celebrated their second birthday on November 16, the Bungalow has cemented itself as a one of the Bellarine\u2019s key food and wine destinations.<\/p>\n
Nestled in the heart of the historic township of Drysdale, the Bungalow, a Geelong Business Excellence Award Finalist, has injected more than $42,000 into the local community and created employment for over 20 job seekers.<\/p>\n
The Bungalow has served up over 62,898 coffees, 22,224 poached eggs, 104 sunset dinners, and a key feature in many foodie collaborations over the past year \u2013 a Cheese, Wine, and Dine evening with Scotchmans Hill and Drysdale Goats Cheese and a Spring Grazing event with BAIE Wines for the Geelong Cup.<\/p>\n
Owner Kerry Bell said Drysdale was the place she aspired to start a business, raise a family, and help continue to build a strong and joyful community.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking a commitment to this place and taking responsibility for its wellbeing was the first step we took toward helping to build a sustainable local economy in my region,\u201d Mrs Bell said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m always throwing ideas around on how we share this beautiful part of Victoria with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
The seven days of giveaways celebrating their second birthday have been running since Friday November 16, with prizes giveaways, and a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis week we wanted to show the community how much we appreciate the support they have shown us since we opened,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to continue to share our success by giving back through donations, sponsorship and gratuities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
