Award-winning Cardiff blogger Jane Cook (of hungrycityhippy.co.uk) rounds up five of this month’s most interesting, must-try food & drink events that the city has to offer.
Lee Skeet takeover at Brewdog Cardiff – Sun 2 April
This is the second in this acclaimed Dorset chef’s Cardiff supperclub series. The menu changes at every event as the season changes from spring to summer, showcasing the very best native Cornish produce. His last series of Cardiff events sold out in 48 hours but tickets for this one are still available at leeskeet.com
Spanish Feria at DEPOT – Sat 8 April
With spring in full swing, DEPOT are teaming up with the local Spanish community to create a one-day celebration to remember, the Spanish April Feria. Expect authentic Spanish street food, flamenco dancing, live music and sangria to wash it all down with. For more info see depot.eventcube.io
Cardiff Spring Foraging Course in Bute Park – Sat 8 April
If you fancy yourself as a bit of an urban hunter-gatherer, this simple foraging walk around Bute Park in Cardiff City Centre will help you to identify a selection of spring shoots, edible plants, flowers and hopefully even some spring mushrooms. Tickets and more info available from www.wildfooduk.com
Gin Stock at DEPOT – Sat 15 April
It’s back to the DEPOT again on Sat 15 April for their annual celebration of all things gin. A host of the UK’s finest gin producers will be offering more than 30 different types, and a selection of the producers will be on-site themselves to offer tasting tips and information about the history and heritage of their distillations. As always, there’ll be local, independent street-food on offer too. For ticket, see depot.eventcube.io
Lazy Sunday Club at Dusty Knuckle – Every Weekend
Everyone’s favourite pizza peeps have announced they’ll be open 6 days a week from now on, and have launched the ‘lazy Sunday club’ from 9am to 3pm every week. Offering brunch, board games and strong coffee, this is where every self-respecting foodie should be nursing their hangovers. For more info: www.facebook.com/dustyknucklepizzacompany
