Happy 20th Birthday to us!

Posted on September 29, 2023 by - Blog, Coming Up, Uncategorised

On Grand Final Day 2003 we flung open our Ladro Fitzroy doors for the very first time, right here on Gertrude Street. Yep, we’re 20 years young!
To celebrate, we’re serving birthday Prosecco all Grand Final day on us – join is from 12noon, we’d love to see you.

With dejavu feels, Collingwood & Brisbane Lions actually played in the 2003 GF too. Twenty years ago the Lions put on a dominant second quarter with five strong goals to Collingwood’s one, stealing the premiership cup. Fast forward to 2023, and we’re still spinning pizza PIES and tapping into to our original FITZOY roots to support the Lions.

SALUTE!

OPENING HOURS UPDATE…

Posted on April 25, 2022 by - Blog, Coming Up, Uncategorised

As we recover in the wake of Covid, our opening hours are subject to change. Ideally we would have consistent opening hours every week like we did in 2019, but it’s just not possible currently.

On the bright side we’re doing everything we can to get back to a new kind of normal and we’re soooo excited to be open!

We know how frustrating this is for you, trust us…so thanks for your patience and we really appreciate your support. Head to our Ladro Instagram for the most up-to-date info and hours (and any last minute changes).

You can always call the old school landline too…

Ladro StreetSmart SmartMeals

Ladro x SmartMeals DONATE

It’s hard not to feel overwhelmed during the Covid crisis. Looking out for each other, sharing what you have and focusing on what you can do in your local community has kept us grounded at Ladro, thanks to StreetSmart their SmartMeals program.

We’ve been cooking 400 meals a week for vulnerable people impacted by the pandemic, as part of a new pilot program, SmartMeals, brainchild of Adam Robinson – CEO of StreetSmart Australia in response to the Covid crisis.

SmartMeals puts empty hospitality venues to good use with a win-win concept feeding many in need at the same time. It supports venues like Ladro who have supported NFP’s like StreetSmart, for many years.

To say the pilot has been life changing is an understatement. It’s been life saving – business saving. Ladro has been able to keep two full-time chefs employed during the crisis and literally stay afloat – it works like this:

Ladro has been paired with local Fitzroy charity St Mary’s House of Welcome. We cook hundreds of meals for people in need, delivering them daily to the charity. Ladro is paid a small fee to cover food costs and labour with 100% of the fee going towards providing meals to combat homelessness and keep staff employed. It’s simple and brilliant, like all good ideas.

Now is a great time to share what you have. We’re urging anyone who can afford it to donate directly to StreetSmart. It allows us to provide as many meals as possible to feed an ever increasing number of people in need. If you’re in a position to do so, please…

DONATE HERE

We are all in this together and together we can grow this idea beyond the 400 meals Ladro provides. Our dream is to keep this initiative going well beyond the Covid crisis and we need your help to to it.

If you are a food manufacturer, farmer with excess stock, or in a position to sponsor the program, Ladro & StreetSmart would love to hear from you and have a chat. We’re not too proud to ask for help, especially when it helps hundreds more.
Email us at events@ladro.com.au
OR call 9510 2233

Find out more about #SmartMeals HERE.
THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the program so far. We honestly could not have come this far without you.

4.  We’re offering DRIVE-UP, WALK-UP & LADRO DELIVERY on Friday, Saturday & Sunday by Ladro staff, with DELIVEROO through the week & soon Uber. Order direct with Ladro and revenue stays in Ladro’s hands instead of multinational giants.

TAKE AWAY & LADRO SUPERMARKET

1.  You can now order all your takeaway & Ladro Supermarket goodies directly online at Ladro thanks to our friends at Hungry Hungry .

2.  Visit our new Ladro Supermarket selling food for you to prepare at home. Available as single items or bulk orders for freezer & fridge storage so you can enjoy some comfort (food) during Covid-19. Prices start at $5, because we know how hard it is to operate on a shoestring. We’re doing it too.
Fresh pastas, sauces, toilet paper cocktails, wine & beer…new items are being added every week so we can try to keep as many of our staff employed as possible.

Order Fitzroy
Order Prahran

DRIVE-UP

We NOW have designated DRIVE-UP points in Fitzroy & Prahran for all orders as an option.
Order online, fill in your number plate, DRIVE-UP in safety and we’ll run the order out to your car (after sanitising of course). NO delivery driver contamination, just our highest sanitary standards meeting yours. We think this is the safest way to get food to you!

We’ll keep you updated as our Ladro Supermarket evolves and things change which seems to be almost daily!
For large orders or if you need help, let us know, we may be able to drive to your door.
THANK YOU for all your support, every single order is really appreciated.
XO Ladro

LADRO ANZAC FOOD PACK

Posted on April 21, 2020 by - Blog, Coming Up, Uncategorised, Uncategorized

Ladro Anzac Food Pack

It will be a very different ANZAC DAY this year.
In a way we are fighting our own real-time war, on Covid-19. And more than ever we need to set some time aside and remember all those before us who battled for the liberties we have taken for granted…for so long, maybe until now.

Ladro has created an ANZAC FOOD PACK so you can break some bread, share a meal and reflect on love, life and lost souls.
We have 2 options (lamb or vegetarian) and each pack feeds 2 people x 3 courses.
Packs can be made up for 4, 6, 8, 10+, simply let us know when you place your order.
Pay it forward to someone in need, a frontline worker or maybe just needing some Ladro love and we’ll deliver it within 5 kms of Fitzroy or Prahran.
