I went to taste festival last night w my girlfriend and respectfully disagree with the definition of "festival". We were greeted with an over priced entry fee and over priced everything else. I don’t want to sound like it’s all about the money but it so clearly is a money grab from the organizers!. It’s not just me either we experienced people who have been and said the same thing. Eg,.. A glass of wine $8 and then they had the cheek to charge another $6 for the slightly cool plastic cup?? That’s $14! More than in a lovely restaurant. Then there was the food $10-$12 for a small portion of rushed out cuisine … So basically if your pockets were full of crowns then you may have had a decent feed. By the way I was told that the organizers made a percentage on every crown! What 30 a head not enough? I really didn’t think it was a lovely celebration of food, more like an expo for suppliers and maybe food critics. I won’t be going again and I’m sure many more won’t after realizing the value for money v experience that you get. If you still don’t believe me, do the sums: entry 30 a head + 50 to 60 a head to eat and drink. You could have gone to a lovely restaurant for that! If they want this "festival" to have longevity then maybe they need a re-think on the real meaning of festive ...
