Bent

Bent on Food is a specialty regional food store/café that was developed as a permanent outlet for local producers on the Mid North Coast of NSW. The philosophy at the cafe is that local is always best, we love organic food but we are more interested in sustainability and we would prefer to use produce that is local and loved than to buy organic food that has travelled the shores to get here. We like to build relationships with our producers and learn about their farming practices. Bent on food is owned by Donna Carrier, a local with 18 years in the wine industry, including an Associate Diploma in Wine Marketing from the renowned Roseworthy College. Donna's interest in wine naturally combines with an interest in food and a strong desire to bring the region's producers together in an outlet dedicated to regional produce. Donna spent many years living in Sydney where she enjoyed sipping wonderful coffee at the many cafes that Sydney has to offer, moving home she found that there was need for an urban, sophisticated outlet that was in keeping with our city counterparts. Bent on Food is proud of its country style hospitality.
