NRF 10+ Year Celebratory Anniversary Dinner!
June 24th, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST
You may recall we organised this dinner last year (in our actual anniversary year) and had to cancel due to COVID shutdowns. Well we’re back for our 10 (plus) year anniversary celebrations this year…with bells on!!
NRF is proud to be the first independently funded regional food industry body in Australia. NRF became incorporated in early December 2011 and is now funded by its members with support from sponsors and partners. We would like to celebrate this auspicious occasion with our wonderful NRF members and friends and invite you to attend our upcoming dinner at Frida’s Field, Nashua.
To celebrate this ten-year milestone, Chef Ally from Frida’s Field is elevating our event with a 10 ‘course’ feast, which will count down a decade of local food trends in our region and honour our amazing local producers (see menu below).
We will have a special presentation with a nod to our past, reflect on our founding members and look to what the future may hold for our region’s local food & beverage industry.
OUR MENU: Celebrating a decade of local food trends!
You will be greeted with a complimentary welcome drink on arrival and then all other drinks will need to be purchased from the bar.Chef Ally has put together a special 10 ‘course’ menu*, counting down ten years of food trends in our region and honouring our local Northern Rivers food producer legends.
It will be a very celebratory menu, starting with canapes, moving to shared platters and finishing with main course and fruit and cheese platter. Vegetarian options will be available and we will attempt to cater for all dietary requirements.
