With this month’s Bank Holidays, you might find you’ve got a bit of extra time on your hands. Lorria Sahmet takes a look at some of the best places to out in style on a day off.
The Potted Pig, Cardiff
Located in a former bank vault beneath the city, this calls for an exciting Bank Holiday Dinner. Dip into their extensive menu of modern British cuisine with a bit of a French and New York influence, and expect mouthwatering flavours and delicious twists on classics. Also worth checking out is their extensive gin menu. With over 30 options, this is definitely one for those who loves a kick with their meal.

Chai Street, Cardiff
Spice up your Bank Holiday with a trip to Chai Street. Offering authentic Indian street food, the restaurant has up a unique urban design – worlds apart from Mint and Mustard, the fine dining restaurant behind the Chai Street venture. With an array of delicious delicacies, think of this as Indian tapas and try a bit of everything! Stylish but casual, the restaurant takes no bookings so hurry because you can always expect a queue.

The Bay View, Swansea
Head to the Bay View for a pub meal with a twist. Like a regular pub, the Bay View offers an extensive choice of beers and lagers but interestingly specialise in not your traditional pub meals but Thai cuisine. Offering an array of dishes filled exotic flavours and aromatic scents, it is definitely worth a visit. Don’t miss their Monday to Saturday special: starter and main dish for just £5.95!

Fairyhill, Gower
Switch it up and go for a stylish 3-course meal at the Fairyhill. Tucked away amongst the Gower woodland, enjoy an elegant meal by the breathtaking 24 acres of greenery that surrounds the property. But don’t worry, there isn’t a set menu so you’re free to choose whatever fits your fancy. Whether it’s for dinner, lunch or just a light afternoon tea, the cooking is fresh and flavourful – perfectly appropriate for its beautiful surroundings.
