Longest lunch gives to charity

Geelong’s Longest Lunch returns to the waterfront next month in support of Barwon Health Foundation.

The event involves a group of the region’s top chefs donating their time to work together to produce four award-worthy courses, utilising fresh local produce and coupled with local wines.

Participating chefs include Mike Jaques of Tulip, Andy Symeonakis of 1915, Stuart North of Empire Grill, Chris Hudich of Wharf Shed, Leonie Mills of The Culinary Collective at The Gordon and Daniel Brehaut of The Davidson at The Gordon.

Foodie personality Sarah Pound, better known to her 200,000 Instagram followers as Wholesome by Sarah, has been announced as the guest host.

Sarah is a qualified nutritionist, the founder of successful catering business Two Pounds, and a recipe developer for the popular 28 by Sam Wood program.

Barwon Health Foundation Philanthropy Manager Francis Trainor said it will be the first time the event has been held since 2019.

“We are very excited for the return of Geelong’s Longest Lunch, a much-loved event on our fundraising calendar,” he said.

“It simply would not be possible without incredible support from our local hospitality industry and the broader community who have been quick to snap up tickets. We cannot wait to announce the total funds raised in support of Barwon Health.”

Geelong’s Longest Lunch is at Transvaal Square, overlooking Geelong’s waterfront, on Friday March 17.
