“Perfectly pitched entertainment & a lovely mix of Welsh food & drink!”

A memorable evening of Welsh food and drink, poetry and song at the Welsh House in Cardiff – the perfect introduction to our beautiful country.

Award-winning company, Loving Welsh Food, is delighted to be working with the Welsh House in Cardiff as the new venue for this year’s Taste of Wales evenings. The first event takes place on Monday 15th April 2024.

“Incredible food, really engaging entertainment – a brilliant summary of what it means to be Welsh”.  Aidan Singh, Cardiff

The Welsh House is an independent regional restaurant & bar showcasing the very best food and drink from within Wales right in the heart of the city centre serving locally produced, fresh, flavoursome dishes experienced in a comfortable relaxed environment.

On the Taste of Wales menu – a delicious 3-course meal at the Welsh House followed by an evening of light-hearted entertainment celebrating all things Welsh. Loosely based on the traditional Music, Poems & Pints evening – this contemporary event includes beautiful and well-known music, a limerick competition, not-too-serious poetry and the ever-popular Welshisms.

“It was a lovely mix of light-hearted, good-humoured entertainment. Nothing too stuffy. A lovely offer of Welsh food and drink, and the entertainment was perfectly pitched” Nia Hollins, Vale of Glamorgan.

“It’s great to be working with the Welsh House, a wonderful venue showcasing the very best of Welsh food and drink. Music, poetry and food are at the heart of Welsh culture and this is great opportunity for us to provide our local and international visitors with a true taste of Wales”. Sian Roberts, Owner Loving Welsh Food

We absolutely love hosting the many visitors Sian and her team bring to The Welsh House venues and we look forward to this partnership growing from strength to strength.”

Penderyn Distillery are delighted to be sponsoring the Penderyn Limerick competition once again this year, which is always a highlight of the evening. The lucky winner of the limerick competition will win a bottle of Penderyn Legend – a Madeira-finish single malt whisky.

“No Taste of Wales event would be complete without some Single Malt Welsh Whisky and so Penderyn is delighted to be part of these events – they are a great way to sample our food, drink and culture.” Stephen Davies, Chief Executive, Penderyn Distillery

From June 2024 to March 2025, family-owned Go Collette will be bringing groups of American tourists to Cardiff as part of their “Exploring Britain & Ireland” tour, the Taste of Wales evening is always a highlight of the tour.
