Taste the Coast will return to The Entertainment Grounds in Gosford on Sunday, September 14, serving up a full day of mouth-watering food, locally crafted beverages, live entertainment and family-friendly fun.
Following a successful launch in 2024, the popular Central Coast food festival is set to be bigger and better, celebrating the region’s best chefs, producers, wineries, and breweries all in one location.
Attendees can expect a diverse culinary experience with tasting stalls from some of the region’s top restaurants, including The Cowrie, Little Miss Mezza, Hernandos and Kefi.
Local drink producers like Block and Tackle Brewery will be pouring their finest brews, and Jenns Jams will return to showcase beautiful pre-packaged handcrafted local jams, chutneys, cheese board paste, local honey and olives.
It’s not just about food and drink; live music, cooking demonstrations and activities for the whole family will keep everyone entertained throughout the day.
“The food scene on the Central Coast has exploded in recent years, both in terms of restaurants and producers,” The Entertainment Grounds CEO Daniel Lacey said.
“Being able to visit one venue and sample the delights from restaurants like The Cowrie or Little Miss Mezza, or taste the offerings from our local brewers and winemakers, makes this event one not to miss.
“This year, we are going to showcase more local producers and offer cooking demonstrations from the region’s best chefs.”
Timothy Fakes of 60mls Cocktails said he was thrilled to be part of Taste the Coast again this year.
“Last year, the energy and the Central Coast vendors were incredible,” he said.
“This year, we’re excited to bring our expertly crafted cocktails made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, served from our sleek mobile bar setup.
“Our professional mixologists bring energy, flair, and attention to detail—shaking, stirring, and pouring with style; can’t wait to see everyone there.”
Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or simply love discovering new flavours, Taste the Coast offers something for everyone.
From gourmet bites and sweet treats to boutique distillers and up-and-coming chefs, the festival is a true celebration of the region’s culinary creativity.
Visitors will also have the chance to meet the makers behind their favourite products, hear their stories and discover how local ingredients are being transformed into award-winning food and drink, all from the Central Coast.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to showcase the food from The Entertainment Grounds and to celebrate the day alongside our incredible local producers and fellow industry professionals,” The Entertainment Grounds Chef Gary Burns said.
