Eastgate Shoppers take the Taste Test


Eastgate Shoppers take the Taste Test

On Saturday, 27 August, the Eastgate Shopping Centre will be looking for the ‘Poshest Palate in Gloucester.

Between 11am and 4pm, shoppers visiting the Centre will be invited to visit special Tasting Tables, each featuring a particular type of food or drink, and asked to sample the products displayed.  They will then be asked a simple question about the food or drink tasted and write their answer on a Taste Test Card.

“A lot of our shops, stores and cafes have new foods and recipes which we are keen to introduce to the public,” says Jason Robinson, Centre Manager, Eastgate Shopping Centre. “The Taste Test Challenge is a great way for shoppers to discover these new delights and at the same time, pit their palates in a fun competition.”

The winning Taste Tester will be awarded a foodie hamper and the opportunity to claim the auspicious title of Gloucester’s Poshest Palate.
