He said locals can 'dig for gold' in their food orders, with one order hiding an unique gold card worth $5000.

"Bendigo was literally built on gold, so what better way to celebrate our launch and the city's history than by offering a selection of gilded dishes for locals to feast on?" he said.

"As we celebrate Bendigo's golden legacy, locals ordering the special gold dishes should keep an eye out for the first ever Deliveroo Gold Card available in Australia.

"The lucky winner will bag themselves $5000 worth of Deliveroo credit to be used to order their favourite dishes from local restaurants time and time again."
