Ready Steady Cook Westmeath Style The Event

Co. Westmeath Tourism Ltd. was delighted with a full house at their recent Ready, Steady Cook Westmeath Style event. There was a great buzz around Belvedere House on Wednesday 4th November as a large number of foodies gathered to watch exciting cook offs between chefs representing restaurants from all over the county.(www.athlone.ie)

The overall aim of this exciting new food event was to promote local restaurants. The emphasis was on supporting local businesses and to drive business into the restaurants. Each ticket holder received €160 worth of restaurant vouchers to use. All participating restaurants offered a fantastic array of mouth watering tastings prior to the show.Said Rhona Rogers, Tourism Development Officer.
