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. 😀

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. 🍺
