Wales Restaurant Guide

Indigo

Indigo unreservedly sets out to create a Mediterranean ambience in an area that is already well populated by some of the more well-known and predictable chain pubs and clubs. Look out for dishes from Med-touched cuisines such as Italian, Greek and Spanish with interesting additions from Turkey, Morocco and other North African countries.

Inn at the Elm Tree, The

This modern restaurant, rather improbably located within a 19th century barn makes a point of serving dishes with a strong Welsh inclination. Thus Welsh Black beef and game in season from local estates feature prominently.

Jabajak Country Retreat

The restaurant complex was originally a stone built carriage house, stable, grain store and milking parlour dating back over 100 years; this forms a courtyard, which was used by local farmers to shoe their cattle on the way to the markets of London! It even boasts its own traditional well and raised Koi pond.

Junction 28 Restaurant

Junction 28 is a tastefully decorated, converted railway station, with the lower part of the restaurant decked out to mimic an old-fashioned railway carriage. Given the current difficulty in finding a train at all, let alone one that actually welcomes passengers aboard, it is not altogether surprising that there is nearly always a scramble to find a seat on this elegant Pullman coach with its anchor firmly down, as you approach the station.

An old 17th century coaching inn that has adapted to modern demands with a flourish and some degree of independence. The result is a quite small carte of really fresh produce with such delights as roast monkfish with Moroccan spices and pan-fried skate wings with caper butter.
