We are delighted to announce the Food Festival Luncheon is returning to Bangalow on Friday 6th September 2024 as part of this year’s festival program.
The Sample Food Festival long lunch is one of the most sought-after tickets on the Northern Rivers event calendar and returns after a four-year hiatus. This year’s theme is fire and ice. Some of our regions most innovative chefs will be preparing a four course feast that will take you on a sensory journey of smokey aromas and seasonal flavours. Cooking alongside Jay Elbrihi (Ex Pipit) will be Wal Foster from Bush Ice Creamery (formerly Natural Ice Cream Australia), Harry Foster (former Masterchef finalist) and Dai Shibata, Naomi Hare of Tombo Mullumbimby fame.
