Seasonal Closure Notice – Lorne Grocer

As we head into the quieter winter months, we’ll be closing Lorne Grocer at the Swing Bridge after service this Sunday 10 May, with plans to reopen on 1st November for another big summer ahead.

We want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone for the incredible support you’ve shown us in our first season. Opening this venue has been a huge journey — from transforming what was essentially a building shell into a fully functioning venue in just 5 weeks, to being up and running in time for Christmas.

It’s certainly been a summer to remember — with the challenges of fire threats, flooding, and then fire again, alongside all the usual (and not-so-usual!) teething issues that come with launching a new business. Through it all, your support, patience, and encouragement have meant everything to us.

We’re really proud of what’s been created here, and so grateful to be part of Lorne.

We’ll still be busy over winter at Birregurra Grocer, so if you find yourself passing through, we’d love to see you there.

Thanks for being part of our first chapter — we’ll see you again from 1 November, when we look forward to welcoming you back to our little corner of the coast — down by the Swing Bridge, where the river meets the sea. It really is a pretty special spot.

With appreciation,
The Lorne Grocer Team

Well… we took a bit of a hopeful gamble on the weather for tonight’s lasagna night, and it hasn’t quite gone our way 🌊💨🌧️

With this arctic blast blowing in, we’ve made the call to cancel — our little space just isn’t quite up for a night like this.

We were so looking forward to a cosy night of enjoying Amanda’s lasagna

Thanks so much for understanding — your support always means a lot to us

We’ll be back tomorrow morning as usual (rain, hail or snow) 7.30am, with the coffee on ☕️
