Enter a realm of culinary delight with the master chef of Ballarat and the co-host of Channel 10’s popular daytime cooking show, Good Chef Bad Chef. A fervent foodie, Tim’s ethos is all about supporting community, showcasing local fare and serving up hearty dishes that ooze joy, warmth and comfort.
Tim’s services are founded on genuinity and a passion for sourcing local. His conjuring of hearty dishes, his experience in the hospitality industry, his commitment to locally-foraged ingredients and his desire to support small business permeate through all his work.
“Tim Bone has become an integral part of team Grampians Grape Escape. His passion for cooking and love for using local ingredients align perfectly with some of the values we champion as a festival—reducing food miles and supporting local businesses. Beyond his culinary gift, Tim’s enthusiasm and willingness to promote the festival have been invaluable, and his professionalism with the media is exceptional. Not to put too much pressure on him, but he never misses a beat!
Festival-goers also can’t get enough of Tim. His genuine, friendly, and down-to-earth nature, combined with his inspiring recipes, make him a standout in every way! His super popular food van, Tim’s Toasties, is also always a hit.
Tim, along with Abbey, truly feel like family to us, and as a proud resident of regional Victoria, we are thrilled to see their achievements. We highly recommend Tim as a guest chef for any event.”
Vanessa Briody, Co-Festival Director of Grampians Grape Escape.

Savoring a Tim Bone Toastie is an experience to remember.

Sandwiched between crispy, toasted sourdough from Ballarat’s 1816 Bakehouse, and finished with a lavish spread of butter and a touch of The 5th Season Inland Salt, Tim’s Toasties are a delightful indulgence you’ll be eager to talk about.
