Year of Discovery Food Challenge

To celebrate the 2019 Welsh ‘Year of Discovery’ – the North East Wales Tourism Team laid down the challenge to local eateries to devise a dish that would celebrate the best local produce in the area, along with giving visitors the chance to try something a little different.

For restaurants, the challenge was to develop at least three small plates and for cafes/tearooms the challenge was to create a dessert. Both categories are encouraged to use local North East Wales producers that will play on the senses. Mystery dining visits will score the entries and the two highest scoring dishes from each category will then be invited to a cook-off with prizes including publicity, a stand at the Wrexham Food & Drink Festival and other commercial event opportunities throughout the year.
