Taste Waterford Charter

Taste Waterford welcomes membership from businesses passionate about Co. Waterford’s food and drink. 

To ensure that every member has the highest standards of quality, integrity and commitment, we ask them to agree to our Taste Waterford Charter, so that everyone, including locals and visitors receive the best food and drink experience possible.

Business must be located in Co. Waterford.

Networking 

Members to help, support, collaborate and guide each other, and develop best-in-class practices.

Environment 

Have structures in place to reduce their carbon footprint, impact on environment, and encourage a workplace of sustainability and reduced consumption. 

Experience for visitors 

Members should have a customer focused approach, and provide the best service possible, including knowledgeable employees, retail design, marketing and experiences for customers. 

Suppliers

Where food and drink is either produced or sold, members should use the maximum amount of ingredients or produce from Co. Waterford. If ingredients cannot be sourced locally, then they should be from Ireland, and overseas as a final option – whilst reducing environmental impacts.
