40’s Café
IN BUSINESS
Not only do we have ‘dine in’ and ‘take away’
meals, 7 days a week, we also do off site catering
for corporate meetings and private events
featuring the pizzas we have become so well
known for over the past 18 years.
What’s that ‘something special’ that makes your
day at work?
What separates your business from the next?
I think what sets 40’s apart from other businesses
is that we have, and continue to, provide food
and service that people can trust and enjoy.
Also the staff. They are a great bunch of people
who make my job a whole lot easier.

Robyn McDermott - Restaurant Manager.
I would have to say it’s our customers. Over the
15 (almost 16) years I have worked at 40’s I have
had the privilege of meeting some amazing locals
and tourists who make my day worth it. It’s not
only the regulars who say hello in the street, it’s
the customers and tourists who have moved away
or live elsewhere and make a point of coming
in if they are back in the valley just to say hi. I
think that’s very special.
Barossa Veterinary Service
as providing a stable workplace with good
growth and job opportunity for those living in
our community.
How would you describe your work/life balance?
Constant imbalance - you try to spend more time
and home and then something happens at work
and you are called back and then you think you
have a clear day at work to get through a job list
and then my daughter is sick. It really is a juggle
and I would not survive without the support of
my husband and family.
What have you set out to achieve in your
business?
To be an integral part of the community that is
there not only in emergencies but in promoting
best possible lifelong wellness for family pets
and supporting farmers to be more sustainable
and profitable. Our aim is to give back through
sponsorship and community education as well
What’s that ‘something special’ that makes your
day at work?
Working with a great team of staff to achieve
great outcomes for our patients and their owners.
It is a stressful industry with often stressful
and difficult situations to be navigated, having
a wonderful team around you to support and
and help with the challenges and also celebrate
the successes makes such a big difference and I
would not be able to do it without them.

What do you enjoy most about your business (or
being a woman in business)?
I really love the day-to-day challenge of operating
a business. However, I pride myself on trying
to always be happy and present in a positive
manner – because I really love what I do.
I am really passionate about our Mediterranean
cuisine which includes Fattoush, Hummus, Falafel
and Beef Kafta. It really is an honour to be able
to prepare the foods that I love to make. There is
no greater satisfaction than to see our customers
enjoying the true flavours of this cuisine.
What separates your business from the next?
We’re famous for the freshness, quality and
the range of food that we offer, particularly for
our Mediterranean food. We proudly prepare
everything on-site daily with our own hands.
It really is a labour of love, but we wouldn’t have
it any other way.
How would you describe your work/life balance?
Whilst we work very hard in the shop, Kamiel and
I try to enjoy a rest whenever possible. During our
time away from the business, we enjoy traveling
to various locations throughout the Barossa
to support other local businesses. We really
do have a magnificent community and it’s so
enjoyable to ‘live like a Tourist’ for a day within
our own region.
