This year’s eating Out Wales has been a real joy to put together. It’s been

incredible to see just how much the restaurants and eateries of the south east Wales area have grown in the last year.

With more rosettes and awards received than ever before, this edition has a real ‘celebration’ feel to it.

But more importantly than that, this edition of eating Out shows how local restaurateurs are relying on the fabulous Welsh

countryside for produce. From foraged garlic to

locally-reared meats, there’s more Welsh produce going onto plates than ever before, and we think that’s such an amazing thing.

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

To help you decide if a venue is right for you we’ve devised the key that’s printed below.

It seems like an age since Kate and I took over 1861, then a run-down pub.

We knew that breathing new life into the place would take commitment, but the location was perfect, in the heart of the countryside, yet accessible, and the 19th century building had such potential.

Doing justice to the lovely old place has been a labour of love, and we hope you will agree that we have managed to retain the charm and character of the original structure, while also creating a modern vibe.

The food I produce at the restaurant is the product of almost two decades’ experience in a variety of kitchens, working with top chefs.

I was extremely fortunate in that my career began with the Roux brothers at their fabled three Michelin star restaurant, the Waterside Inn at Bray.

I then went on to work as Martin Blunos’ right hand man at the two Michelin star Bristol and Bath restaurants, Lettonie.

It was Martin who taught me about the importance of food provenance, and how simple, seasonal ingredients treated respectfully create the best culinary experiences.

My career path then took me to Monmouthshire and Llansantffraed Court, where I took up the reins as head chef, and, most importantly, I met my wife-to-be, Kate, who was the hotel’s wedding co-ordinator.

Running our own ship is more than a full-time job, it’s a way of life, especially as we live above the restaurant with our two young children.

But the hard work is well worth it, as I feel our

customers appreciate the fact there is so much personal input, both in the food and the service.

I love to make everything from scratch, and smoke my own duck in the cellar and enjoy making my own preserves.

Foraging is a passion of mine too, and the wild garlic season always makes me very happy, as does the abundance of elderflowers in early summer, and a delicious assortment of fungi later in the year.

Monmouthshire is an ideal place to be based if you love food, as there is such a diverse range of excellent places to eat, from gastro pubs to country house hotels to chic restaurants and buzzy cafes.

It’s also a great place to be a chef, as the array of fresh produce on the doorstep is truly awe-inspiring.

Our ethos is to source as much as possible locally as this makes sense in terms of the freshness of the food and its carbon footprint.

It also makes perfect sense to support the local economy, and ensure that a broad range of businesses thrive.

We are also lucky in that most of our vegetables come from Kate’s father’s

market garden in Nantyderry, a few miles down the road. We get herbs and salad delivered twice a day in summer – so you can’t get fresher than that.

It’s probably fair to say that Monmouthshire is the foodie capital of Wales. Tell your friends, the delights of the county should be shared.

The urban regeneration company, Newport unlimited, and Newport City Council have been working together on a major £5

million, two-year refurbishment programme to transform Newport’s historic indoor market and the surrounding market quarter area.

The grade II listed victorian market and other traditional buildings in the market quarter are being refurbished, with a view to accommodating a food academy, restaurants and cafes to add to the

existing venues. The existing market entrance is to be enlarged, and new terraces and seating installed to create a café quarter atmosphere.

There is a wide range of stalls in the market hall, ranging from traditional suppliers who have been trading here for generations, to new traders bringing in new products and ideas. This mix keeps the market alive and vibrant, and continues to attract a loyal local following.

This is a family run business of artisan pie makers with the idea that pies can, and should be, made better. With ingredients including organic meats and

cheese, eggs from their own free range chickens and no fewer than three National ‘great British pie awards’ in their fi rst year, mother and daughter Cheryll and Collette Crewe have defi nitely been doing their bit to promote heritage Meats and true provenance, and to support British Farming.

Working from their own farm, this has developed into a real family affair. Collette’s husband, Steve, has now joined the ‘piedom’, and Cheryll’s husband, Dave, makes cider to be used as an ingredient for the pies.

and another award! honey made by Dave’s bees at elm Tree Farm in St Brides won a True Taste of Wales Silver award in 2012.

With an original range of pies and pasties to choose from, including the gold award-winning porky pear pie, there’s something for everyone from elm Tree Foods.

It’s not only the pigs who have the pedigree at the Moody Sow Farm Shop at Cefn Mably Farm park; owner Rhys edwards comes from good stock too,

as his great, great, great grandfather and great, great, great uncle were a local farmer and butcher team at the beginning of the last century.

Their hereford beef comes from just one mile away, and Rhys and his wife alyona are keen to uphold the family’s traditional values and source as much food locally as possible. all the sausages and burgers are made on site from their own pigs which range free in the woodland next to the farm shop, and other local farms also supply them with lamb and poultry.

With fresh and frozen produce, and artisan preserves, drinks and groceries, the Moody Sow Farm Shop is turning into a foodie destination to be reckoned with.

In future, the family plan to get out and about to sell their products, so look out for them at local events and Farmers’ Markets.

This popular event draws the crowds in Caerleon, and is evidence of the local interest in high quality, artisan foods which has increased considerably with the quality of local

ingredients and producers on our doorstep. Several high profi le chefs have relocated to the area, citing the

availability of ingredients as a factor, and many local producers supply outlets and restaurants all over the country.

The village has a great choice of cuisines, with the Lodge Coffee and Deli selling locally-sourced delicatessen products, relaxed dining at The Snug at the Ffwrwm, modern Welsh cuisine at the award-winning Bell Inn and The goldcroft and priory hotel

much, supporting local suppliers is paramount at 1861, Simon told us.

“Not only is the produce from local farmers and suppliers of excellent quality, but also it is delivered fresh on a daily basis, which I believe makes any dish taste better.

“Fruit and veg come from Kate’s father, who has a nursery in Nantderry.

“Kate and I also grow our own produce in our garden, including a variety of herbs, mushrooms and garlic – you can’t get any fresher than that.”

Their lunch menu is served daily from 12noon, where you can choose two courses for £20.50 or three courses for £25.

Dinner is served from 7pm onwards and you can pick a three-course meal from the set menu priced at

It started life as a Coaching Inn back in the 17th Century and has existed as a pub, inn, restaurant, hostelry, Indian curry house, steakhouse and general

meeting place for the local area ever since. It had been closed and vacant for more than two and a half years before Julie and James Dawson got their hands on it in October 2012 and returned it to its former glory (and some!)

The delectable meals available on The Gate’s varied menus are meticulously executed by a team 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.

Food is served from 12noon to 2.30pm and then from 6pm until 9.30pm Monday to Thursday and from 12noon until 9.30pm Friday and Saturday. Sunday lunch is to die for and available from 12noon until 5.30pm and comprises three courses – each of which is individually priced (main courses at £9.95). There’s a choice of three roast meats plus a fish and vegetarian option.

Julie and James invite you to have afternoon tea

at The Gate every Thursday. (Booking is essential) Afternoon tea is served from 2.30pm until 5.30pm. In addition to the expected wide variety of specialist teas and coffee, you can choose from a selection of sandwiches, freshly baked cakes and pastries.

The Gate also holds a special seven-course gourmet evening from time to time, where the professional chefs showcase their culinary skills using the finest locally sourced and seasonal ingredients.

And let’s not forget that The Gate is a Pub in the old tradition. Fine Wine & liquors abound… In addition to the usual suspects (Guinness, Carling & Worthington), you will find no less than five hand pumps carrying Real Ales & Real Ciders, including Wye Valley Bitter and Sharp’s Cornish Doombar. And then there’s the whisky… The Gate carries one of the finest selections of single malts in the area.

why it is so diffi cult 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 fi t to burst after your starter and main, leaving Gemelli without sampling one of their desserts is strictly forbidden! In fact words can’t do them justice – you’ll have to try them for yourself.

Owners Jon West and Richard Wallace bought Junction 28 back in 1993; previously they had successfully run The Drum and Monkey pub

for many years at Blackrock, located at the Heads of the Valleys.

Due to Jon and Richard’s popularity and reputation at Blackrock, many of their clientele followed them to their new destination and regularly visit to this day, to dine out and enjoy the warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Junction 28 is a tastefully decorated and converted railway station, hence the unique name.

Jon and Richard completely refurbished the old building when they fi rst bought it, changing the layout

and expanding the restaurant so that it can seat up to 165 covers.

The lower part of the restaurant has been decorated to mimic an old-fashioned railway carriage, with memorabilia and historic photographs of the area spread throughout.

At Junction 28 there are various options for your dining experience with several different types of menu.

For lunch there is a reasonably priced one, two or three-course menu available Monday to Saturday from 12noon until 2pm.

For dinner you can make those cinema seats or theatre reservations by taking advantage of the early evening Flying All Night menu that starts at 5.30pm and

is priced at £18.45 for three courses if you order before 7pm.

Alongside the Flying All Night menu there is an extensive a la carte menu, available from 5.30pm until 9.30pm.

Head chef Simona said: “We have brilliant local producers and suppliers here at Junction 28, who work with us to grow and deliver fantastic produce.

“Because of this, we are able to change our flyer menus on a regular basis for both lunch and dinner, so you can be sure your meal is created with the freshest, tastiest and highest quality ingredients available.”

If you’re looking to treat the family to a spectacular Sunday lunch, Junction 28 offers either a two or three-course lunch, where you will always find roast beef and Yorkshire pudding or succulent roast pork with apple sauce.

For those of you who are looking for something different for Sunday lunch, there are five other dishes to choose from with a choice of fish, meat and vegetarian options. Booking in advance is advised for Sunday lunch.

As well as the delicious, high quality and value for money meals, one of the main reasons people frequent Junction 28 is the fact diners don’t feel rushed or pressured before or after dining.

This is achieved by a comfortable and spacious lounge area, where you can sit down and relax – enjoying a nice

quiet drink with family and friends while you wait for your table or after you’ve finished your food.

Another key component in Junction 28’s success is its long-serving and accommodating staff members, many of whom have been stationed there, no pun intended, for numerous years.

It’s this familiarity of a friendly face and consistency of excellent food that makes Junction 28 one of the best places to dine at throughout South Wales.

So, whether you’re looking to try something new, celebrate a special occasion or enjoy a social drink with friends, make your way to Junction 28 and join in with its year of celebrations.

By day The Snug is Café Fwrrwm, serving up a selection of light bites, cream teas and beverages.

However, come Friday and Saturday evening, Café Fwrmm becomes The Snug - a cosy restaurant serving up a plethora of mouth-watering dishes in its great atmosphere.

Offering a relaxed dining experience, the menu features such delectations as Welsh venison loin served in a sweet red wine, roasted garlic and smoked paprika sauce and the Snug’s own take on Surf ‘n’ Turf – a 6oz trio of beef fillet medallions served alongside crevettes cooked in the shell with garlic butter, although it does change across the year.

Also serving up Sunday lunch between 12noon and 4pm and occasionally holding special events such as wine-tasting evenings, The Snug and Cafe Fwrrwm are delightful and must-visit places for diners of all tastes.
