“Tommy (Heaney, of Great British Menu fame) never fails to deliver”, say fans of the chef’s hip, high-end suburban outpost, launched in 2018 with partner Nikki. The fish-centric seasonal cooking takes in an “excellent and reasonably priced set lunch” as well as more elaborate tasting menus, while a “great atmosphere” (low lighting, guest DJs) adds to its charms. Their no-booking oyster and wine bar, Uisce, is next door and also well worth a look.

“Tommy (Heaney) is a great chef and a great character”, say fans of the chef’s swanky five-year old, in the Cardiff ‘burbs, which he launched after working at Bridgend’s Great House hotel (an appearance on Great British Menu boosting his profile). Sample tasting menus or à la carte, or hit up his next door oyster and wine bar, Uisce (pronounced ‘ish-ka’, meaning ‘water’ in Gaelic).

Tommy Heaney’s “fantastic food that challenges the taste buds” has wowed diners at the “atmospheric” venue he opened in a leafy suburb of Cardiff four years ago, after a stint at the Great House hotel in Bridgend. The self-taught Northern Irish chef has worked around the world, gathering influences in the US, Australia, Thailand and London that show up on his “great taster menu”. Appearances on the Great British Menu brought him to a wider audience, and he has also opened an oyster and wine bar, Uisce, next door.

“Very good indeed” – the verdict on Tommy Heaney (of Great British Menu fame)’s accessible small plates spot, which he launched three years ago to great acclaim after moving on from the Great House hotel in Bridgend. You’ll also find his oyster and wine bar, Uisce, next door.

"An extended tasting menu adapting courses specifically for my allergies that maintained the balance of each dish. Some unusual wines enhanced the experience."
