📣 Public Service Announcement

We’ve had to make a tough call. A flu bug has swept through our team, and it’s absolutely no joke. To keep our staff safe — and to make sure we’re not spreading it through the community — The Bento Bar will be closed on TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY (1 & 2 Sept), including the school lunch deliveries.

We’ll update you right here with our re‑opening plan once everyone is back on their feet.

Thank you for understanding, and please take care of yourselves out there. Stay rested, stay nourished, and look after your people🩷
