Set on the banks of the beautiful Camden Haven River in Laurieton, this is the coast's premier gourmet festival.
So much deliciousness to choose from, but to whet your appetite, here’s a sample of the Slice of Haven menu:
Remember spiders? Your favourite soft drink with a scoop of ice cream in it? Find these, prawn dogs with green tomato relish and more at XS Food/Salty’s on Hastings stall at site 29.
Wrap your laughing gear around some buffalo at site 69. Eungai Creek Buffalo have pies, cheese, and gelato all made from buffalo milk.
If you need to warm up, there will be Indian, Thai, and African curries, Mexican food, as well as hot chilli sauces for the truly brave.
If you’re after fresh seafood, visit 66 where the chefs from the Laurieton United Services Club will be preparing the latest catch.
Time for dessert? Cakes, coffees and teas galore dotted all over the Slice of Haven event. Try Club North Haven at site 5, Sunrise Cakes (traditional Slavic seven-layer cakes – OMG) at site 74, Cassegrain’s Seasons Restaurant at site 72, and try My Blue Tea at site 25.

Papa Pasty (site 55) has two vegan pasties and salads, Warinyan Farm (site 46) has an array of fermented vegetables, cultures drinks and dips, and a Slice regular, Sumita will serve her Indian Vegetarian Curries.
