Cafe owner living his dream
WARRNAMBOOL local Jayden Walder is living his dream.
Ever since entering the hospitality industry as a 16 year-old, Jayden has longed to own a café.
Six months ago those dreams came to fruition and he is now the proud owner of Neon Café and Bar in the heart of Warrnambool.
“My end goal was always to have my own business, so I’m very proud of Neon,” Jayden said.
“But I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for the help of family; for which I’m eternally grateful.
“Between renovations, menus, painting and helping with funds to bring this all together, especially in the initial few months and helping with front of house they were amazing which enabled me to focus on my food.”
Jayden has worked as a chef at cafes and pubs across the district for years and is now able to bring that experience and knowledge to Neon Café and Bar.
“I love working in hospitality; meeting new people each day and cooking meals that are tasty, nutritious and affordable.”
The menu at Neon offers a range of dishes to suit all tastes, with some especially for children, and the slice and savoury cabinet offers a selection of tasty cakes and slices perfect for morning or afternoon tea – or a quick snack on the run.
The big ‘Neon breakfast’, along with the smashed avocado, are currently among the most popular of the breakfast dishes while the brisket burger and slides are always popular among diners for dinner.
While Neon is fully licensed, there is also a tempting mocktails menu that is sure to satisfy.
Conveniently located opposite the Civic Green at 50 Liebig Street, Neon Café and Bar is open from 8am until 2pm Tuesday to Sunday.
It also reopens for dinner from 5.30pm until late Tuesday to Saturday.
Take-away is available and delivery can be arranged within the Warrnambool township.
For more information or to place a booking contact the friendly team at Neon on 5561 4553.
