Although still in a recession, with the rate of people eating out or using a hotel in decline nationally, but with Wales the figues show that people will still venture out provided the quality has not suffered. A subtle is there between quality and the cost of something.
Luxury hotels Wales or upmarket restaurants both share the same commitment to quality, which has more to do with their inherent sense of style and purpose than any notions of luxury. A modest B&B can still offer excellent quality, especially when it comes to food and service.
It’s true there are dark economic skies but there are also bright shafts of light bursting through too. People who love eating good quality food as part of their holidays in Wales still appreciate those whose passion is sourcing, preparing and serving it. Many restaurants have built their reputation on emphasising the importance of a highly personalised service and sticking to what they are good at.
The country has always been known as a centre of excellency in food and drink and fine restaurants that show great attention to detail and an environmentally aware method of sourcing local products and services. Better food, better wines and beers and, most importantly, better service is the hallmark of most Welsh eating and dining establishments. A commitment to sustainability can go by the wayside when profits are under pressure, but many restaurants in Wales see these recessionary times as an opportunity to put pressure on suppliers to match their ethical position. Times may be tough, but the message seems to be clear for the restaurant trade at least. Delivering quality at a fair price remains the key to attracting customers who’ll continue to regard eating out as one of the best things to do in Wales.
