25.01.2022 It’s with great pleasure that we announce our RETURN to Buisness. We’ve overcome a few obstacles and are set to REOPEN in the next few days. It will be a soft opening meaning we will have restricted Hours and Days of trade until we find our feet once again. Please see below for our planned hours of return. Thursday 1st of October - 8:00am - 3:00pm Friday 2nd of October - 8:00am - 3:00pm... Saturday 3rd of October - 8:00am - 3:00pm Sunday 4th of October - 8:00am - 3:00pm Monday 5th of October - 8:00am - 3:00pm Tuesday 6th of October - CLOSED Wednesday 7th of October - CLOSED We have received a lot of enquiries in regards to our return, and have been accepting booking requests in advance. At this stage we are only allowed to have 10 patrons dining inside at any one time. We have also have available outside dining options including our front of cafe area, and also our NEW Courtyard option that will be a fantastic experience for all to enjoy. If you’d like to make a booking please call 0434698879 or message us via messenger on Facebook and we will assist you. A maximum booking of 1 to 10 per booking only with a time limit of 1.5 hrs only. This time limit is to give everyone the opportunity to be able to enjoy your dining experience, and to adhere to all Covid restriction criteria. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank a few people. Firstly to our Landlady Carmel Bell, for whom without her support and assistance, would have found difficulty returning. To Craig Sherwood and his team for their unbelievable service and urgency that you have shown us. Your customer service and professionalism has been not only appreciated but is to be commended. To Jason Beale painting and also to his father for doing that bit extra for us out of the goodness of your hearts, it meant so much. To the Mitchell Shire, whom has supported local businesses through this pandemic with professional services and information, and assisted us with all the requirements for our outside dining improvements, not only with urgency but with the upmost professionalism . To family and friends for your advice and support we thank you all. We are so looking forward to seeing you all and on behalf of Aramintas Tea Rooms THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL SOON Cheers ATR

24.01.2022 A few more finishing touches done yesterday and today and we will be good to go for Tomorrow’s reopen day. The weekends weather is looking great so please remember to book if possible. Call 0434698879 or use Facebook messenger if you prefer. Look forward to seeing you all from Thursday. ... Cheers ATR

23.01.2022 I hope everyone is safe and well during these tough times. Due to the government announcement in the past few days, we have implemented the following changes to our rules. From Thursday, to be able to dine in it will be mandatory that everyone produce photo ID. No other forms will be accepted. The request for Photographic ID is to verify that our customers are from regional Victoria and not from a stage 4 lockdown zone. Any customers that are on a working permit are still ...able to purchase take away only. Since reopening we have an isolated take away area that has the correct social distancing spacing. We request that once placing your take away order that you use this area. Correct face masks must also be worn whilst attending our cafe. Face shields, Bandanas or scarves are no longer allowed. Please ensure that you are wearing the correct face mask whilst visiting us. There is a lot of rules and regulations in place. These rules have been made to assist with the safest possible dining experience that we can offer. Our staff are aware that these rules and restrictions may cause some issues to some customers. I can only ask that you continue to be patient, and courteous when asked to comply. Abusing staff or failing to comply with these directives will not be tolerated. It is a trying time when some small businesses are trying to rebuild from closures and down sizing, and we are trying our very best and appreciate the support that you have shown to us. We love having and seeing so many of our customers smiling, and enjoying the limited freedom of simply dining in to enjoy a home cooked meal and a beveridge. We appreciate your understanding at this time and please remember to book if possible. If you have any questions regarding rules and regulations please click on the links below. Cheers and thanks for now ATR. https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/face-masks-vic-covid-19 https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus/updates

23.01.2022 Good evening all. Thank you to everyone who has attended Aramintas since we have reopened. The new rules and laws have been excepted by most, but at times certainly has had its challenges. We are doing our very best to comply with all government laws, and in doing so the requirements from you, our customers, dining in has never been more demanding. The rules that have been put in place are to provide our customers, staff and the business, the safest possible dining in ...experience possible. We did not set these rules, our government have. All I can ask is that we comply with these rules, as they are in the current form, and changes as they progress in the future. Even if you disagree with the requirements, they are the current laws, and Aramintas Tea Rooms will abide by them. All we ask is that when you attend our cafe you abide by the rules and legislation. Requests for photographic identification is a requirement to dine in at Aramintas. If you do not produce your photo identification on request, dining in will not be an option. We have the option of customers signing a declaration stating their current Rural Victorian address, but please note that if it is fraudulent in any way, the person signing the declaration could be subject to heavy fines and consequences. Our staff are lovely and respectful people, who give their all to provide the best customer service that we can. To question the requirements, or make reference to the law requirements in a disapproving manner is very unfair. They too have families to think about, and never make it difficult or non welcoming to any customer to dine in with us. All I ask is that we relax, enjoy the fact that rural Victoria can enjoy the ability to attend cafes, pubs etc, and it should be seen as a privilege as there are millions in Victoria who have been without this option for some time. I hope that this post is not seen as criticism but it's intention is to highlight requirements that are in place currently. Again I thank all whom have chosen to support us without you we wouldn't have a business to return too. Cheers Jason

22.01.2022 TRIAL DAY NUMBER 1.... TURKISH DELIGHT CHEESE CAKE ...... Real Turkish Delight encased in a creamy cheese cake mix, and Biscuit base ! ... THE BOMB !!!!

22.01.2022 Here’s something different !!! Peppermint Crisp Cheesecake Brownie !!! The top is made in a Chocolate Ganache .. ... OH My ..........

21.01.2022 Just a quick shout out of thanks to all our loyal customers in response to our reopening . It’s been overwhelming, and to receive so many words of praise and support from you all means so much. We appreciate you following the government guidelines, which in turn gives everyone the best experience possible. With the weekend almost upon us we are receiving a fair amount of bookings . To avoid disappointment could you please book as soon as possible . As you maybe aware we ar...e restricted to 20 dine in guests at any one time, and time slots are booking fast. Give us a call on 0434698879 to avoid disappointment . Once again thank you to everyone and it’s been so good to see all your faces once again ! Cheers ATR

21.01.2022 Our Famous Barramundi Special is on this weekend.... Reserve your table today ..

20.01.2022 Nothing better than a nice fire going on a cold day. Good to sit down and have a hot beverage and enjoy the warmth !!!

20.01.2022 Good evening to all our friends, family and loyal customers. As you maybe aware of the news today , Mitchell Shire will re-enter into stage 3 restrictions once again starting from midnight tomorrow night. In light of this news, Business decisions have to be made for the interim until things improve. ... As a business we have decided that Aramintas will be closed from Thursday 9th of July 2020. We will be closed for the following six weeks thereafter. With the return to a take away business only option, we found in the past this to be an unviable option for us and are unable to cover costs and overheads as this is not our core Buisness model. We have spent the past 2 and a half years creating a sit down eatery that prides itself as a family friendly and personalised meeting place, that offers home made and freshly produced by order. We really appreciate the support from everyone that has returned to Aramintas since we reopened on 1st of June. Tomorrow we will be open from 7:00am until 3:00pm as our last day of trade. There will be cakes on offer so first in best dressed and bookings will be critical as this will be our last day for the time being. We appreciate your understanding at this time and wish that you all stay safe and enjoy the time with your families ... Cheers ATR

18.01.2022 Well let the transformation begin !!!! We are into it !! Outside courtyard dining here we come ...

18.01.2022 Good morning all. As you may have heard we have received exciting news that we soon will be able to return to dining in with restrictions. In light of this news, we are busy preparing for our return to being open once again. We are currently undergoing some internal plastering works, and changes to adhere to outside dining requirements. We have some really exciting news to share. In light with the current requirements, we are converting our side car parking area into a o...utside courtyard for dining. There will still be limited parking but tables will be available in this area when we reopen. There will be some rules put into place. Some of the examples of rules that will be introduced will be. * Contact tracing will be required, names and addresses * Bookings will be required for all group bookings * Booking limit of up to 10 patrons in one group maximum * Maximum of 1.5 hrs per session * Predominately outside dining will be offered * Social distancing of 1.5 mths will be adhered too * No close contact such as hugging, kissing etc * Use of sanitising stations is encouraged * Take Aways will be available These examples will be subject to change based on government laws. With so much to do we are hopeful to return very shortly. It's been so good to receive many phone calls and texts, asking when we will be reopening, and we are just as excited to catch up with you all, as you will be to once again spend some time with family and friends, but please be patient as these new rules require us to put in place new structures and equipment, and it simply cannot be done within a few days. I will be keeping you all posted with updates and photos of our progress, and we are looking forward to once again providing you with the best service and dining experience we can moving into the summer months. Once we have a firm reopen date and operating times, I will post them on our Social Media Platform. Once again we thank you for all the well wishes and support during our closure, and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon. Cheers ATR

10.01.2022 Good evening all. I hope your all well as can be during these very trying times. Been a while since our last post, so thought I’d check in. We’ve been busy trying out new and different slices and cake ideas, and we look forward to getting your approval when we return. We do miss seeing you all, and having a laugh. Feels like forever since we closed.... There has been a few rumours bounced about in regards to Aramintas Tea Rooms future. Rest assured we will be returning. At present under stage 3 restrictions, we are permitted to operate as a take away business only. As your aware, we did try this option over several weeks, but it was not a financially viable option for our business, and we did appreciate the support from you all during this option. Over the past few years we have prided ourselves on being a cafe where friends and family, young and older, can come and sit down , enjoy a warm or cold beverage, have some Breakfast or Lunch and enjoy one of our fresh homemade cakes and slices and enjoy catching up with each other. As we are not permitted to operate this way we where forced to close. Please note, once we are able to have people return to a sit down option we will reopen. Rumours are Rumours, but we are very fortunate to have such a great and loyal bunch of customers, who we look forward to seeing again once we are permitted too. That is not a rumour that’s a fact. Cheers ATR
