Went to the Bunch of Grapes in Pontypridd for a meal last night – pubs and restaurants in Wales were allowed to open for indoor dining from Monday this week. Our first meal out near home in Wales since the beginning of March.
The food was **really** good, especially the Roasted Cod Loin, so I can’t resist posting some details. 😀
Menu Board
Sweetcorn Soup – _Charred sweetcorn, butterbean and radicchio soup, garlic and rosemary sourdough crouton_
Pan Fried Cockles – _Pan fried cockles, leeks and laverbread on fried sourdough bread, charred lemon_
Beetroot Pie – _Beetroot, mushroom, black bean and spinach pie, sautéed garlic greens and roasted red onions_
Roasted Cod Loin – _Ancho chilli roasted cod loin, sautéed mussels, cockles, laverbread and saffron, roasted fennel mash_
Grapes in the Bunch
To accompany the meal I had my first proper cask beers since March – two from Salopian Brewery, a pint of Shropshire Gold bitter and a pint of Dewdrops New England IPA. 🍺
