Some of Wales' top chefs, including Michelin-starred James Sommerin, were on hand to help the Cardiff Audi showroom in Cardiff Gate Business Park launch the new RS4 in style.

The theme of the event was ‘A Celebration of Welsh Food’ and its title, ‘Audi Senses’.

The Welsh food theme set out to heighten the senses of the 50 VIP guests who attended, by stimulating sight and sound through brilliant cookery demonstrations using liquid nitrogen and incorporating the latest menu trends in the Welsh fine dining scene.

Guests’ taste and smell were then treated to delicious Michelin-starred and award-winning, expert cookery demonstrations and canapés, where the Cardiff Audi dealership was filled with aromas of gastronomic greatness.

The stunning S and RS range of Audi products was on display and guests were free to look around, sit in and ask questions about the RS3, RS5 and revised TTRS models. The stunning RS4 Avant was positioned at centre stage for its launch at the event.

Guests enjoyed a reception of canapés, cocktails and mocktails made by TV chefs Nick Brodie (Llangoed Hall), Richard Davies (Calcot Manor), Welsh Chef of The Year James Sommerin (Restaurant James Sommerin) and UK Curry Chef of the Year, Stephen Gomes (Moksh).

Cardiff Audi supports the Welsh fine-dining scene in sponsoring The Chefs’ Forum, an industry networking organisation for top local chefs, which bridges the gap between hospitality education and the professional kitchen.

Chris Knibbs, head of business at Cardiff Audi, said: “This event proved a great success. Excellence in customer service and product are the Audi brand values and indeed our values at Cardiff Audi. These are resonated through working with top chefs and front of house professionals via The Chefs’ Forum.
