Castlemaine Community Lunch
A great way to meet community members, catch up with old friends and find out what’s going on. It’s a place to welcome new people so if you’re just arrived to town, please drop in and introduce yourself. You will be made welcome!
Community Lunch has been running for over 25 years and is a place to enjoy a 2 course (main & dessert) vegetarian meal, with friends, family and our community. The menu emphasises seasonal fresh vegetables and fruit, with much of it donated by local suppliers.
We’d like to thank these local businesses who have donated produce to the community lunch:
