The air was abuzz with excitement on Saturday, February 25, as anticipation built ahead of the Wales vs England match - whilst renowned Cardiff chef Lee Skeet opened the doors to his brand new hospitality venture, Jackson's, in Duke Street Arcade.
The sister venue of his popular 12-cover restaurant Cora - which is currently being renovated in a unit above Jackson's - Jackson's is a stylish new seafood and wine bar serving up a "simple menu" of Welsh and Cornish oysters, steamed mussels - sold by weight at market price - Welsh lamb and seaweed buns, smoked mackerel pâté and a handful of special dishes which will change by the season.
Over at the bar, you'll find Jackson's own beer on draft, alongside Oyster Shell IPA and Black IPA - both of which have been created by Vale of Glamorgan Brewery repurposing the oyster shells once they've been used. You'll also be able to enjoy Jackson's own 'Bones Brew' coffee, roasted by fellow Cardiff business Quantum Roasters, and a "specially selected" brand of popular spirits including Barry Island gin and Tan Dowr Cornish sea salt vodka. Plus, there's a great selection of wines to choose from.
