The Clink Restaurant run by inmates at HMP Cardiff has announced its closure. The charity behind the fine-dining venue based at the prison said the restaurant will shuts its doors after more than 10 years of teaching prisoners skills in both kitchen and front of house roles.
It is understood the lease for The Clink Restaurant Cardiff cannot be renewed. The Clink Charity said it will continue to maintain its presence in Wales through supporting graduates of the Clink Restaurant into employment and through its Clink Kitchen scheme which trains prisoners in prison kitchens to become qualified to work in hospitality after release.
