Endorsing his gastronomic vision on Visit Wales, Chef Gareth Ward has asserted: “My dream is to make Ynyshir a destination restaurant that people travel to for an experience they can’t have anywhere else. Because this part of the world, this part of Wales, this building – everything about it deserves to be at the highest level and I won’t stop until we get there.”
