Mr Lee said the event aimed to attract people within Leederville and also the wider community.
“I think any event such as this where you’re showcasing the food and beverage offering of the community actually brings people into the area,” he said.
“There’s been a lot of people complaining about various things in business and so we decided to take it upon ourselves to actually create some events that draw people in.”
Other events to be hosted by food retailers include bar crawls, masterclasses and brunches.
