Pasture Announced as Exclusive Food Partner for The Garden at Blackweir
Cardiff’s acclaimed restaurant Pasture has been announced as the exclusive food partner for The Garden, the premium area at this summer’s Blackweir concert series.
With demand already high across the programme — and general admission tickets sold out for several dates — The Garden has quickly become one of the most sought-after ways to experience the shows. Pasture will now be serving guests throughout the series, bringing their signature fire-cooked dishes to the heart of one of Cardiff’s biggest live music events.
The Garden offers a more elevated way to enjoy the Blackweir shows, with a dedicated viewing area close to the stage, a private Garden bar, premium facilities and exclusive food from Pasture. Guests will also benefit from separate entry lanes and a souvenir wristband as part of the experience.
Known for its fire-led cooking and bold, ingredient-driven menu, Pasture will be serving a range of dishes inside The Garden including flame-grilled burgers, signature steaks served with house-made sauces and vegan options.
Sam Elliott, Chef Owner at Pasture, said:
“We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with the team behind Blackweir and bringing Pasture out of the restaurant to such an iconic setting. Cooking over fire, serving great food and being part of a landmark event for the city feels like a natural fit for what we do. We’re looking forward to welcoming guests into The Garden to soak up the atmosphere while enjoying the flavours and fire-led cooking that Pasture is known for.”
Nick Saunders, founder of DEPOT and promoter of the Blackweir series, added:
“Pasture are one of Cardiff’s best-known independent restaurant brands and a brilliant fit for the kind of premium experience we want to create at The Garden. With demand so high across the series, we want to give concertgoers a memorable way to enjoy some of the summer’s biggest shows — with great views, great atmosphere and fantastic food from the Pasture team.”
Several shows in the Blackweir series have already sold out, including The Cure on 24 June and Lewis Capaldi on 30 June, with limited Garden availability remaining for selected dates such as Teddy Swims (26 June) and Pitbull (4 July).
For fans who already have tickets, VIP Garden upgrades are available for selected shows, offering the chance to move into the premium area and experience the event with the best view in the field and exclusive food from Pasture.
The Blackweir summer series will bring thousands of music fans to the city as major international artists take to the stage at Blackweir Fields — quickly establishing itself as one of Cardiff’s landmark outdoor live music events.
