FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD The Cardiff Townhouse is a new property bringing the iconic David Morgan Department Store back to life with an all-day socialising, bar, café and dining venue set right in the heart of The Hayes. The townhouse is split over two separate floors, with a different vibe on each level, perfect for intimate get-togethers or a pre-wedding date night. Upstairs, the first floor is anchored by the Atrium Bar, a horseshoeshaped cocktail bar set under a historic skylight. The first floor has a brasserie and two spaces that can be taken over for private events and get-togethers. Plus, pets are welcome on the dog-friendly ground floor, which has its own bar. Rebecca Tooth, the managing director of Coppa Club, comments: “We are hugely excited to open The Cardiff Townhouse. Building on the success of The Bath Townhouse and Guildford Townhouse, we are delighted to be opening our third townhouse location in one of the most iconic areas of Cardiff. We are fortunate to be opening in a building steeped in history and envision it becoming a real go-to in the city for drinks, dining, and events.” Visit www.coppaclub.co.uk/the-cardiff-townhouse to find out more information about The Cardiff Townhouse.

DRINK IT ALL IN Golden Road Gin, which is distilled near Pembrokeshire’s Preseli Hills, has taken silver in one of the biggest categories from industry specialists at IWSC, who are one of the most respected global wine and spirits communities. Perfect as a wedding gift or drink for the big day, Golden Road Gin was created by husbandand-wife team Phil and Jennifer Wheeler. It’s a copper pot-distilled gin created from 100 per cent natural botanical ingredients on a small scale. Co-founder Jennifer tells us: “We’re so proud of this latest accolade. Our feedback from the judges was that they loved our gin for its mix of smoky, spicy flavours with a touch of floral and citrus. Last year, Golden Road Gin picked up some major recognition at the Great Taste Awards, where we won bronze, so we’ve actually gone one step further this year and at the international level too, which is pretty epic when you think about it! We knew what we were aiming for in terms of quality and taste, but it took quite some time to design the perfect profile. The goal was to create a craft gin that evokes a feeling of relaxed adventure and refreshing smoothness and I think we’ve done just that.” Check out www.goldenroadgin.co.uk for more information.
