Cardiff’s Riverside and Grangetown areas are definitely on their way to becoming a haven for new dining experiences and pop ups and Neighbourhood Kitchen - which opened up a little over a year ago - has had a big part to play in it. And this month it's taking the food scene in the Welsh capital to the next level.
For it will be introducing the Louisiana Crawfish Boil, a traditional, regular event in the southern states of America. Running from Wednesday, May 25 until Saturday, June 4 (Wednesdays to Saturdays only) it will see bibbed-up diners served with half a kilo of seasons crawfish, or crayfish as we call them over here - tipped out onto newspaper after being boiled - alongside corn on the cob, smoked sausage and red potatoes.
Owner Tudor Barber, who runs the restaurant and boutique hotel with wife, Caroline, had long wanted to recreate a Louisiana crawfish boil and it turns out, the time to do it is right now, as the crustacean is an invasive species in British waters and are in season.
