Trains in Wales are set to serve up seaweed on a new limited edition menu.

The new selection of products is set to go on sale ahead of the National Eisteddfod next month.

The festival, which celebrates Welsh culture, takes place in a different part of the country every year.

Transport for Wales says customers on some of its rail services will get to choose from a wider range of Welsh produce.

That includes laverbread (made from edible seaweed) and bacon, Caerphilly chicken supreme and glazed bara brith.

While the menu will only be available on first class trains, standard class services will also offer customers the chance to try the “Eisteddfod burger”.

On-board director at Transport for Wales Piers Croft said the menu offers diners the “chance to experience the flavour of the Eisteddfod”.

“This unique opportunity celebrates everything that Wales has to offer while enjoying a delicious and authentic meal,” he said.

Lowri Joyce, the company’s Welsh language strategic lead, said it wanted to “celebrate our language, culture and everything it means to be Cymraeg (Welsh)”.

“I’d encourage those travelling to the Maes [site of the Eisteddfod] to look for sustainable travel options and if you have the chance, try out our special menu,” she added.
