Welsh Rarebit Day

September 3, 2026

Two slices of rarebit on toast on a white plate for Welsh Rarebit Day

Welsh Rarebit Day takes place on 3rd September, celebrating this delicious traditional dish. Often mistaken as just cheese on toast, Welsh Rarebit is a savoury delight with a rich sauce made from cheese, beer or milk, and a hint of mustard or Worcestershire sauce, spread over toast and grilled to perfection. This day encourages everyone to indulge in this comforting dish, experiment with different recipes, and appreciate its Welsh culinary heritage.

Welsh Rarebit, with its origins rooted in the 18th century, has remained a beloved classic in British cuisine. The dish was originally known as “Welsh rabbit,” but over time, the name evolved to the more fitting “rarebit,” which doesn’t imply any meat. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal, often enjoyed as a snack or light supper. The combination of melted cheese with the added depth of flavour from the beer or milk makes it a unique and cherished recipe.

To celebrate Welsh Rarebit Day, why not try making your own version at home, or visit a local pub or restaurant that serves this traditional treat? You can also share your cooking experience on social media, or learn more about the history and variations of the dish.
