Woopi News - Coffs Coast Long Lunch

We all spend time in the kitchen, but what’s it like running a commercial kitchen?

The theme of the third Coffs Coast Long Lunch is ‘Kitchen Stories’.

Four local, well-known, talented, and respected guest speakers will share their joys, their challenges, and their food journeys with you.

Speakers include an artisan baker, a restaurateur, a local caterer and a charity outreach kitchen.

Hear what happens behind the scenes. There will be laughs, learnings, and ‘oh my’ moments from an amazing group of local women in food.

Guest speakers include Laura Mariel Gonzalez of Peach & Wolf Family Bakery, Nicole Donovan of ESMÉ Restaurant and Bar, and Dianne Knoblock of Raleigh Coffee and Eats. The format is a short, informal inconversation with each speaker, with a Q&A to follow.

If you’re a food lover, you won’t want to miss this long lunch at Shearwater Restaurant’s stunning waterfront location - in their downstairs event space.

On arrival, you will receive a Welcome drink and canapés. Then, you will indulge in a delicious main course chosen from a seasonal Autumn menu, a glass of wine with lunch, and a dessert platter.

Coffs Coast Long Lunch is a bi-annual event that started in 2023. The aim is to showcase local food – and connect the community with local food producers, growers, and providores, to celebrate the quality of food available with low food miles in the Coffs Coast region. Their ethos is Local Food. Community. Connection.

Whether you live locally or are visiting from out of town, Coffs Coast Long Lunch is an opportunity to learn more about the Coffs Coast food scene by meeting the people who are busy creating it.

Enjoy a relaxed and fun event with other like-minded food lovers. Whether you’re a foodie, a cook, or can’t cook to save yourself, this event offers foodie know-how as well as delicious dining.
