The owners of two of Wales' best pubs have announced they are expanding over the bridge and will open a new restaurant in Bristol. Sarah and Tom Watts-Jones who own the acclaimed Hare & Hounds in Aberthin and The Heathcock in Llandaff, Cardiff will open their new venture in July.
The pair will be taking over The Clifton on Regent Street in the southwest city with Sarah aiming for an optimistic opening date of July 5. Similarly to their Welsh sites which have garnered a reputation for themselves as pubs that serve very good food, The Clifton will have the same vibe with the addition that all of the meat will be cooked over an open wood fire.
As well as this, some team members who have made their name in the Hare & Hounds and The Heathcock will be heading over to front up the new business, with the head chef of The Clifton being the recent Sous Chef of the former Corey Scott.
