Welsh chef Bryn Williams is set to open a new bar in Penarth. The Denbigh-born chef will offer plates and snacks alongside a curated drinks menu at the Touring Club in the Vale of Glamorgan town from next month.
The chef, who shot to fame when he was a contestant on BBC's Great British Menu, owns Odette's in London and Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias in Colwyn Bay. According to hospitality and business magazine The Caterer, Bryn's next business venture alongside his partners Rowen Hobbs, Dylan Griffith and Grant Maunder will be a "little nod to Patagonia" - a region known for its Welsh heritage and culture after a Welsh colony settled there in the 1800s.
"Myself and my three partners we've all travelled quite a bit and what we want to do is bring the very best of everywhere into one place," he told The Caterer. "Think of those bars you get on the continent, it's not a pub, it's not a wine bar – like in San Sebastian, you can get a great glass of wine and a plate of food and off you go.
