Tim and Lauren have been married for 22 years and chose to settle in the Macedon Ranges back in 2010 to raise their 4 children in the beautiful and quiet surrounds. 

 

Tim has been cooking professionally for over 20 years. After moving from Bendigo to Melbourne in 1998 he started his apprenticeship cooking in an Italian restaurant in Toorak. He then moved to O’Connells Hotel in South Melbourne where he worked under Greg Malouf and Harry Hajisava.

 

Tim finished his apprenticeship at Sails on the Bay in Elwood where he worked for 6 years. Tim’s career continued at The Provincial Hotel in Fitzroy, The Exchange Hotel in Port Melbourne and The Station Hotel in Footscray where he managed the kitchens as Head Chef/Executive Chef.

 

During Tim’s time at the Exchange Hotel the chicken Parma was rated as one of Melbournes best! For the past 4 years Tim has been working in food procurement for the Australian Venue Co but is now ready and excited to start a new adventure in his very own pub back in regional Victoria. 

​

Laurens background is in medical laboratory science after completing a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Bendigo but has now dedicated her time to support Tim at The Albion. She has a passion for landscape photography and you will find some of her work adorning the walls inside the restaurant as well as the bar. Lauren is working on opening her gallery. 

 

Both Tim and Lauren look forward to welcoming you soon.
