Sample Food Festival’s opening ticketed lunch is now on sale. Always a popular lead-in to the festival (of which The Echo is again a proud sponsor), this year’s lunch will be one to remember.
Harvest’s ‘chief forager’ Peter Hardwick has been given the job to source the finest local ingredients for the region’s best chefs to prepare a grazing-style menu under the marquee on Bangalow Showground.
The lunch chefs this year are:
Darren Robertson and Mark LaBrooy (Three Blue Ducks), Sarah Swan (100 Mile Table), Katrina Kanetani (Town), Bret Cameron (Harvest), Monique Guterres (Seaweed Cuisine) and Clayton Donovan (Jaaning Tree).
Expect several courses with matching wines by Devil’s Corner, Tasmania, and beer by Byron’s own Stone & Wood. $120 per person all inclusive. It sells out quickly – book early!
Info: Friday 2 September midday on Bangalow Showground. Reservations by email: [email protected].
