The first week of September has been incredibly eventful for the Vanrooy team. We had the pleasure of attending two major industry events, each celebrating innovation and excellence in food and equipment.
From the lively atmosphere of the Chef’s Hat Block Party to the bustling halls of Fine Food Australia, it was a week filled with networking, learning, and showcasing our top-tier equipment.
Grilling Up Success at Chef’s Hat Block Party

Monday kicked off with Chef’s Hat’s very first Block Party. This one-day event, held at Barrio in South Melbourne, combined celebration with innovation, providing a unique opportunity to connect with industry leaders while exploring the future of foodservice.
With live cooking demonstrations, product showcases, and exciting prizes, the Block Party was an undeniable hit. Attendees were treated to mouth-watering food and drinks throughout the day, all while witnessing firsthand the power of our equipment.
Vanrooy and Firenace proudly provided the Firenace Parilla Wind Up Grill and Firenace T100 Charcoal Oven for the event, giving chefs the tools to cook up a storm of delicious samples using Discovered Foods meats. Built by chefs, for chefs, the Firenace equipment impressed all who attended, making the live demonstrations a major highlight of the day.

Held at Melbourne’s MCEC, Fine Food Australia is the nation’s premier tradeshow dedicated to all things food, from world-class equipment to cutting-edge hospitality solutions. Celebrating its 40th year, this event remains the ultimate platform for uniting the industry and sparking fresh business conversations.
Vanrooy is honoured to partner once again with Mayers Fine Food on the Innovation in Patisserie Stage and provided all equipment to be used for the demonstrations taking place.
Over the course of four days, leading pastry chefs took the stage to conduct masterclasses on desserts, cakes, and more. The Innovation in Patisserie Stage featured incredible demonstrations from Australia’s top bakers, chocolatiers, and pastry chefs, giving attendees the chance to see the latest techniques and trends, up close in action.
