The awards celebrate the finest culinary destinations in Wales, highlighting the dedication and hard work of those committed to delivering the country’s best products and services. By recognizing Wales' rich and diverse food scene, the awards aim to encourage its continued growth and evolution.

To be shortlisted for the award, Bwyty Maes y Parc had to demonstrate exceptional quality, innovation, and consistency in delivering a memorable dining experience. 

Nominations were decided by the general public, and Bwyty Maes y Parc received enough support to secure a spot on the shortlist. This led to an invitation to the award ceremony, where the restaurant joined others in celebrating the best in the industry. 

It was at the awards that the top professionals came together to celebrate their achievements and make lasting business connections.
