NEWS Nearlywed All the latest from around South Wales FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD Coast, a restaurant in Saundersfoot, has launched Pembrokeshire’s newest seafront bar. Offering guests an al fresco experience, Teras Bar is the ideal space to enjoy pre-wedding drinks, good food, and the coastal breeze while relaxing on the golden sands of Coppet Hall. Known for his passion for sustainability, head chef Fred Clapperton has partnered with local suppliers to craft a tantalising bar menu, comprising of locally-sourced Pembrokeshire oysters, Welsh cured meats, and delicious Welsh cheeses. Fred says: “We take pride in local and sustainable sourcing, and the launch of Teras Bar gives us a new opportunity to showcase amazing local ingredients in a casual setting. For our sharing plates, we have carefully curated a selection of Welsh meats and cheeses that will pair perfectly with Pembrokeshire’s Velfrey sparkling wine in the summer sunshine. Our local Pembrokeshire oysters are served freshly shucked with our own pickled seaweed dressing and carry the true character of the Atlantic Edge.” Check out www.coastsaundersfoot.co.uk/teras-bar for more information.
