Get ready, food lovers! Taste the Coast is back at The Entertainment Grounds in Gosford on Sunday, 14 September 2025, serving up a full day of mouth-watering food, locally crafted beverages, live entertainment and family-friendly fun. Following a successful launch in 2024, this 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 Central Coast’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 her 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, making it one of the most anticipated spring events on the Central Coast.
“The food scene on the Central Coast has exploded in recent years, both in terms of restaurants and producers. 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.” – Daniel Lacey, CEO, The Entertainment Grounds
