Welsh Food in Cardiff
When visiting Wales, you mustn’t leave without trying some of our local delicacies. You may not be aware, but Wales is home to some truly delicious traditional dishes. And where better to taste them than our very own Thomas restaurant? Our menu provides tasty food with a contemporary Welsh flavour, and our recommendations are:
Lamb Cawl
Lamb Cawl, pronounced ‘cowl’, is one of the most traditional dishes. But what exactly is cawl? Similar to other traditional country soups, the ingredients used to change from season to season. Early Welsh manuscripts tell us that the main meat used was bacon; no cottager would dream of using valuable lamb. However, we now use delicious, tender lamb to make the traditional stew, with root vegetables and a rich broth.
Welsh Rarebit
First referenced in the Medieval times, this Welsh toasted cheese dish (caws pobi) has been well entrenched in the food history of Wales. Interestingly, the dish was originally known as Welsh Rabbit but by the end of the 18thcentury the term was amended to Welsh Rarebit. Why? Well, tradition has it that the cheese replaced the Rabbit because English landlords forbade their Welsh tenants to hunt.
Taste of Wales Afternoon Tea
We use local and fresh produce to give you a true Taste of Wales. With delicious finger sandwiches, mouth-watering homemade cakes and handmade scones with lashings of cream and fruit jam, by adding a truly Welsh twist.
Served with unlimited servings of tea or coffee, but we highly recommend continuing the theme with Welsh Brew Loose Leaf Tea.
You can also upgrade to include a gin and tonic, cocktails or bottomless Prosecco.
