A reminder to all members about our menu request service. We'd love to get more businesses signed up and more requests coming in.
Accommodation providers: Request sample menus for your visitors/guests.
Choose which menus you would like to receive by completing your contact details and tick which menus you require. Your request will be emailed directly to the participating business for them to fulfil.
Restaurant’s, Café’s, Pubs, Inns: Promote your menus to other MWT members
You will send a copy of your menu directly to the accommodation business that has requested it – a hard copy via post and/or a PDF via email, or you could even drop them off in person if you wish.
|
|
(You will need to register/login to the MWT members' area on MWT) |
|
Food and drink members, also don't forget that you can upload pdf sample menus to your listing on Visit Mid Wales.
Log-in to Guestlink to do this (contact us if you need any help).
We also encourage you to consider options for online booking on your own website - we notice many members have online booking for accommodation but not for tables.

Visit Wales Star Quality Grading |
|
Grading is not a requirement for MWT membership. However, from a business and marketing perspective, we encourage you to consider the benefits of grading if you have not already done so.
Grading stars are a recognised sign of quality. They provide reassurance to guests that your business has been fully inspected before they check in.
Join the Visit Wales grading scheme for:
- An independent assessment of what guests can expect to find at your accommodation.
- A report showing your strengths and outlining areas for improvement, with individual scores for each assessed area of your business.
- Access to ongoing support and advice from the grading team.
- A certificate and free sign to display.
- Use of the Visit Wales star grading logo.
-
Access to Visit Wales marketing opportunities including an entry on the Visit Wales website (this website is updated via Guestlink, in the same way you already update your listing/s on Visit Mid Wales & Show me Wales).
