Local produce on arrival and during your stay.
The ‘Neges’ project – “local produce on arrival and during your stay” – will facilitate and coordinate the provision of a local food offer for the self-catering sector e.g. cottages, glamping units, lodges…
Delivered by Menter Môn and funded through the Cooperation and Supply Chain Development scheme (EU / Welsh Government), the initiative will run until June 2023 with the bulk of activity will take place during the 2022 tourism season.
The project aim is to provide visitors staying in self-catering accommodation in the area with a local food and drink option, which will showcase the breadth of quality producers from the area and provide a sense of place through a range of supporting material. ‘Neges’ is delivered in partnership with food and drink suppliers and self-catering providers as well as other key stakeholders from the public and private sector. The project will be delivered across the counties of Gwynedd, Ynys Môn and Conwy.
What is ‘Neges’ looking for?
Suppliers
We are looking for 5 local suppliers to collaborate with ‘Neges’ to develop and trial a number of innovative regional food and drink packages for the tourist sector in Gwynedd, Ynys Môn and Conwy, that are either delivered to the accommodation or collected, from Easter 2022 onwards.
We expect retailers, distributors, manufacturers, restaurants and cluster of producers to be interested in working with ‘Neges’ as a supplier.
We want to trial different ideas across the 3 counties, targeting various audiences and piloting alternative distribution methods. We want to avoid competition between the ideas ‘Neges’ will be supporting as part of this piloting.
We are aiming for at least 2 of the 5 selected suppliers to be licenced for the sale of alcohol.

A ‘Neges’ provider can for example be a self-catering property owner, a glamping business, a chalet park or an agency responsible for marketing and taking bookings for such accommodation.
We want to trial different ideas across the different sectors of self-catering accommodation in Gwynedd, Ynys Môn and Conwy, targeting various audiences and piloting alternative distribution methods.
