Cardiff restaurant Nook has confirmed that its incredibly popular pop-up dining experience will be returning for 2022. Last year, the 'Nook by the River' pop-up sold out within minutes as the much-loved restaurant in Canton found an innovative way to continue trading after coronavirus restrictions were imposed.
The Michelin Guide restaurant had only been open for a matter of months before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Last May, with hospitality in Wales still limited to ‘outdoor opening only’ restrictions, the owners decided to move their kitchen and dining room from their Victoria Park spot into a 12 x 10m stretch tent on the bank of the River Taff.
With enough room to seat up to 35 socially distanced guests, the pop-up allowed customers to dine and drink next to the water, sampling seasonal small plates and sipping on a selection of natural wines. Either side of their reservations, customers were also able to enjoy a drink on Llandaff Rowing Club’s terrace next door.
