What do you love about hospitality? Culture? People? Food? Coffee? Wine? Connection?
The list can go on about what hospitality brings to our communities. So right now, what are you doing to support the industry? Times are tough for everyone at the moment, especially those in the hospitality industry and we want to show our support.
Foodie Coaches is carrying out a campaign to raise awareness for venue owners and encourage support for the industry - help your community by eating local, whether dining in or ordering takeaway.
In partnership, each week AGFG will highlight local venues for you to show your loyalty to:

Laura loves connecting with local growers and then creating new flavours in the kitchen and nurturing these ideas into a new favourite flavour for her regular customers.
"Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, we’ve lost consistency in our trade. The border closures especially mean that support from our local community is integral to the ongoing success and growth of our venture.”
Earthy Eats is currently open for (reasonably) unrestricted dine in from Monday to Saturday, as well as takeaway, home delivery and catering.
