Taste of Rhodes: Festival of Food 9th – 22nd April

posted in: Featured Events, Life | 0

Rhodes Waterside is holding a two-week festival of food and the whole family (and their taste buds) are invited! Celebrate all things food at Rhodes Waterside with amazing food deals, exclusive dining experiences and events, free giveaways plus the chance to have Justine Schofield cook dinner for you and 10 friends!

From 9 to 22 April, be inspired by new experiences, family time and seriously cheap eats. See in centre for a pop-up picnic zone, the perfect place to chill out and munch on the yummiest of snacks. Visit the GIANT lolly jar and guess the exact amount of lollies in the jar and you could take the whole thing home! Spend $10 at any food retailer and present your valid receipt at the Customer Service Desk to redeem a FREE Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine.

For the little ones, head to Gozleme King for a free Nutella Gozleme workshop. Make your own delicious Nutella Gozleme filled with the freshest ingredients, watch as it is cooked right in front of you and gobble it all up! Then, head to Lilly’s Espresso e Cucina and make your very own pizza. Rhodes Waterside has also opened its doors to the community, inviting five lucky groups to open a pop up ‘Lil’ Shop’! Purchase a cookie and make your contribution to much needed fundraising for Out & About Baby for PANDA, We All Care, Team Georgia for The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Ku-Ring-Gai Stealers Baseball League Inc and Victoria Avenue Public Walking School.

For the big kids, bring your stomachs and enter the dumpling dash. Enter (if you dare) to see if you can eat 20 dumplings in the fastest time to win a $50 Rhodes Waterside Gift Card. Celebrate the greatest combination in the world and join the pizza and beer appreciation society, where $10 bucks will you get a beer tasting paddle and unlimited pizza all night! Check out kombucha taste testing from The Source Bulk Foods and pop stalls all across the festival.

During April you can help put food on the plates of those in need. Simply post a pic of the meal you purchased at Rhodes Waterside on Instagram with the hashtag #tasteofgiving and we will donate a meal to someone in need through Foodbank, Australia’s largest hunger relief organisation.

To help those in need, donate to our Taste of Rhodes partner Foodbank. Donate to our Food Drive and help us support vulnerable families by donating non-perishable items. Your donations will go to people in need who are struggling to put food on the table tonight. To donate or hear more about their stories, visit our ‘Faces of Hunger’ photo exhibition, located near Coles.
