Bringing The Hardwick to Cardiff
Woke up to the news that Stephen Terry is to open a new restaurant in Cardiff.
The restaurant won't be in the city centre - let's face it most of Cardiff's best eateries aren't - but the London-born chef hinted that Cathedral Road was a possible location.
The food will follow the same philosophy as the that employed at it's sister restaurant The Hardwick in Abergavenny and the one thing you can guarantee there'll be no gastronomic showing off just and abundance of high quality, local ingredients.
Speaking to Trinity Mirror's WalesOnline web site he said, "I can't stand fine dining. It comes with an over-inflated price and no atmosphere and I can't see the point.
“I don’t think there’s a demand for a molecular gastronomy pushing boundaries type restaurant in Cardiff.”
The chef also revealed that he's planning to open an adjoining shop selling local produce, "We would bring stuff down from Abergavenny, like great strawberries in the summer.

“I have a great friend who’s a baker and I’d like to bring him in so people can buy a good loaf of bread for £3.50.”
