Food from Wales

We love our food in Wales and so we should. Food from Wales has a reputation for excellence and fantastic taste. Whether you’re a bit of a foodie or just looking for a hearty meal, Wales has a wealth of tastes just waiting to be savoured.

We pride ourselves on supplying some of the finest produce in the world. Our landscape reflects freshness, quality and variety. Start with our internationally famous Welsh beef, lamb and seafood.  Then try a couple of our Welsh cheeses and wines.

We’re also pretty good at cooking. Having great ingredients helps and food culture in Wales has changed vastly over the past 20 years. All over our country, you’ll discover innovative cookery by award-winning chefs using quality local ingredients, which at its best can be compared with cuisine anywhere in the world.

However, we’re still rightly fond of our traditional favourites. Laverbread, not to be mistaken for bread, but actually seaweed, often fried into crisp patties with eggs, bacon and fresh cockles for a traditional Welsh breakfast. And we think there’s nothing quite like the treat of a Welsh afternoon tea with Bara Brith (which translates as speckled bread), a wonderful sticky fruitcake smothered in butter or  Welsh Cakes, a type of scone cooked on a stove-top griddle.
