Fans of Gareth Ward's award-winning restaurant Ynyshir get excited because the opening date for the chef's next culinary venture has been announced - and it's sooner than you think.
Gwen, named after his mother, is set to open its doors on Wednesday, March 29, and promises to be an intimate wine bar and restaurant in the market town of Machynlleth. And while Gareth will be the owner of the establishment, he won't be the one whipping up a storm in the kitchen, instead that job will be for Ynyshir chef Corrin Harrison.
As reported previously, the restaurant will have space for just eight covers and will serve up a 10-course menu but one element that'll no doubt have customers queuing to book is that it will be more affordable than the £350 diners pay at Ynyshir - which last year was recognised as the UK's Best Restaurant.
