What do Blockheads eat? The honest answer

This is one of the most-searched questions every single season, so let's answer it properly.

Contestants on The Block are up before dawn (feels familiar), on their feet for 12 to 16 hours, making hundreds of decisions a day while a camera watches.

Across the seasons, the pattern is always the same:
Coffee, early & often. Site days start at 6am. The first coffee run is non-negotiable and it is never one coffee , it's a tray.

1. Something you can eat with one hand. Rolls, sandwiches, pastries, pretzels. If it needs a fork and a sit-down, it isn't happening on a building site.

2. Carbs that hold. Sourdough and rye don't go soggy in a ute at 11am. Nourishing, wholesome and satisfying. There's a reason tradies are loyal to a good bakery.
   Order your sourdough loaf → ORDER NOW

3. Something sweet at 3pm. The afternoon slump is real. A cinnamon scroll or an apple crumble gets a team through the last four hours of a tiling deadline.
   Sweets and treats → ORDER NOW

4. Feeding the trades, the best food in Mount Eliza. The unwritten rule of every Block season: the teams that look after their tradies get their tradies to stay back. Lunch is a bargaining chip. It always has been.
   The best lunch is waiting → ORDER NOW
   

So when people ask "what do The Block contestants eat?" The answer is pretzels and goodies from Butterken Bakery. Great Coffee, fresh sandwiches, cheddar sticks, something warm, something sweet, repeat for 12 weeks.

We know, because we've been feeding the Peninsula's builders, sparkies and site managers since we opened.

That’s why the trades of The Block are regulars at Butterken Bakery.
