Welsh chef Gareth Ward, the face behind two Michelin Star restaurant Ynyshir, is expanding his business - however, will not be cooking at his new restaurant. Gareth has been at Ynyshir since 2013 and he is now taking on the Number Twenty One bistro in Machynlleth.
Gareth has revealed his plans to rename the restaurant Gwen, after his mother, and will re-open it as an intimate wine bar and restaurant. The star chef told BigHospitality that he will not be cooking at the restaurant and instead Ynyshir head chef Corrin Harrison is taking the reigns in the kitchen.
The restaurant will be small and intimate, with just space for eight covers, and will serve a 10-course menu. There will also be a wine bar which will open as a coffee shop during the day. You can keep up to date with the latest What's On news by signing up to the newsletter here.
