of award winning chefs. All food is prepared in-

house all dishes being made from scratch. No

pre-prepared ready meals or boil-in-the-bag food

here! Best of all, The Gate is not tied to a brewery

or a pub chain company, so beer and wine is widely

varied and modestly priced to complement the fine

food.And lets not forget that The Gate is a pub in the

old tradition. Fine wine and liquors abound and, in

addition to the usual suspects, you will find no less

than five hand pumps carrying real ales and ciders,

including Wye Valley Bitter and Sharps Cornish

Doombar. And then theres the whisky -The Gate

carries one of the finest selections of single malts in

the area.

area has to offer.

is renowned far and wide for its high standard of

food and service.

Using traditional and contemporary Italian

recipes, the a la carte menu is simply delectable its

obvious why it is so difficult to get a table there.Finest quality ingredients are employed in each

dish.

However, in Gemelli the phrase you eat with

your eyes really does take on a new meaning due to

the often breathtaking presentation of dishes, which

leaves you wondering whether you should stick a

fork in or simply admire the food from afar.

However, no write-up about Gemelli would be

complete without at least a mention of its desserts,

which are simply legendary.

Even if you are fit to burst after your starter and

main, leaving Gemelli without sampling one of their

desserts is strictly forbidden! In fact words cant dothem justice youll have to try them for yourself.

here is a well developed food culture in Wales

which combines natural farming systems,artisan producers and large scale manufacturers

supplying retail, hospitality and public sector customers.

The food produced in Wales is very diverse and includes

obvious Welsh products such as Laverbread and Bara

Brith but also Welsh wines and beers, cheeses, meats

and baked products.

Welsh food and drink products have established an

international reputation. Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef

hold protected food name status and have been joined

recently by Pembrokshire Early Potatoes and HalenMn/Anglesey Sea Salt which emphasises quality and

provenance.

Increasingly, our excellent eating establishments in

Wales are serving a wider range of Welsh produce andit is often sourced locally.

Food and Drink Wales provides an identity covering

the whole range of food and drink produce from

Wales and when you see the logo you know you are

supporting our food and drink producers.

This guide provides you with information on the

best places to eat out in south east Wales. Why not try

our wonderful food and drink which will leave you with

a lasting experience and an appetite for more.

ne of the greatest things about puttingtogether a guide such as Eating Out Walesis the fact that it allows Mike and I the

chance to see the very best cooking thats on offerhere in south Wales.

Its great to see new food trends coming throughand its always a pleasure to meet new chefs andrestauranteurs. And of course, its always wonderfulto try the food thats given to us to photograph.

Without doubt, the big trend thats comingthrough this year is keeping it local; buying localproduce from local businesses and supporting thelocal economy. There really is a firm emphasis onrestaurants serving food that has been bought froma farmer or supplier down the road and thatssomething we absolutely love!

We hope that you enjoy this years EatingOut Wales it really is a treat. Weve seen someamazing meals being prepared this year and wehope that you enjoy eating them as much as weenjoying photographing and writing about them.

Why not read on and see what culinary delightsare on offer right on your doorstep?
