MINT & MUSTARD

THE POTTED PIG The award-winning Mint & Mustard in Whitchurch Road Cardiff has re-defined the Indian dining experience, mixing contemporary cuisine with impeccable service to create one of South Wales’ most highly regarded restaurants. Growing in fame and renown across the Capital and beyond, we were the first Indian restaurant to take the top award of ‘Best Restaurant in South Wales’, as well as ‘Best Indian Restaurant’ at the 2008 South Wales Echo Food & Drink Awards – proving its popularity with residents and food critics alike. Our contemporary classic Indian dishes have also seen us win the prestigious House of Commons Tiffin Cup and the South Asian Chef Competition. Constantly pioneering inventive ways to bring Southern Indian cuisine to the UK, Mint & Mustard endeavours to bring the unique cuisine of Kerala to the Capital.

Tucked away under Zizzi’s restaurant in High St Cardiff, The Potted Pig Restaurant now resides in what used to be an old bank vault. The lovingly renovated space has been transformed into a charming restaurant, packed with character and a delicious and original menu to boot. The Potted Pig’s modern British menu offers a little something extra for the more adventurous diner. From the bone marrow and duck heart starter, to the beautiful rabbit main course and whole suckling pig (available for groups of eight), the menu is seasonal, unpretentious in its approach, and singularly unique in its offering of quality but reasonably priced British-inspired food in Cardiff.

RHYDIAN ROCKS Rhydian Roberts is having a very busy time at the moment. The platinum blond baritone from Sennybridge is starring in the touring version of ‘We Will Rock You’ he plays evil police chief Khashoggi, the follically ﬂamboyant villain whose hairdo is much like the singer’s own.

Added to thie is recording a new TV series Rhydian Roberts Presents. Joining him will be a star line-up of guests along with a showcase of exciting up and coming Welsh talent. Over a period of eight weeks, Rhydian will perform a number of his old favourites but also introduce us to his latest repertoire from his new album. The new light entertainment series will be staged on a bespoke ‘Vegas-like’ set where Rhydian and his guests will provide us with a star-studded evening of performance. He is also set to take over the role of Teen Angel in the touring version of Grease. Revisit We will Rock You and release his new album Waves on the 1st August. With all he has to do, I was delighted that he was able to take time out and chat with me.

Ed:

“You new album is quite a departure from your previous work is this why you signed with a new record label, and walked away from Simon and Syco?”

Rhydian: “I think I served my time with him and it just felt like the right thing to do. We talked, he saw my point of view and we’re still in touch today. Ed:

So what made you choose Conehead Records?

Rhydian: Because they’re lovely, enthusiastic people who are behind me and my new album 100 per cent.” Ed: “How would you describe the new album?”

Rhydian: “ I would say it’s very much New Wave. I was listening to an old cassette tape of my brother’s, with bands like Blancmange, and White & Torch. When I heard it, I got really excited and thought, I could put my stamp on that.” This is a man whose rich baritone sound actually made me cry when I heard his version of ‘Somewhere’ from West Side Story, and I do mean that in a good way.

‘Waves’ is a bold and conﬁdent album made by a

performer at the top of his game. With massive success already achieved, Rhydian has chosen to take control and unleash his creativity in a genre of music that to use an X Factor phrase ‘is out of his comfort zone’. However with Rhydian’s hardworking ethic, level headedness and undoubted singing talent. I have know doubt that whatever he chooses to do he will make it a success.

WATCHING AND LISTENING WITH ALAN MOUNT TALES OUT OF SCHOOL... FOUR FILMS BY DAVID LELAND (Network) Memories of life in Thatcher’s Britain are vividly brought to life in this set of 4 ITV dramas from the 80’s by acclaimed writer David Leland., the most famous of which is the startling MADE IN BRITAIN starring Tim Roth as hate-filled teenage skinhead Trevor who simply cannot or will not adapt to what passes for a normal life in any way and pays a harsh penalty as a result. Once seen, never forgotten this is as hard-hitting today as it was nearly 30 years ago and I find it to be essential viewing. The other 3 dramas in this set are BIRTH OF A NATION FLYING INTO THE WIND and R.H.I.N.O. all of which deal with the problems faced by parents,teachers and children alike in a vastly changing and evolving educational and social landscape that reverberates to this very day. Some of the content in these films is harrowing to say the least but is never done sensationally or for effect. The 18 certificate applied to this Network release is for good reason and is recommended to all who want to discover how society in some quarters has reached the point it is at today. Not for those who enjoy fluffy material this is challenging stuff indeed.

A HIGH WIND IN JAMAICA (Eureka!) Those who believe that pirate adventures begin and end with Captain Jack Sparrow would be well advised to dip their toes into the Caribbean waters of A HIGH WIND IN JAMAICA, the 1965 screen adaptation of the famous 1929 adventure novel by Richard Hughes whose Welsh literal connections link him with no less than Dylan Thomas. The movie stars Anthony Quinn and James Coburn as 1870’s pirates who accidentally capture some British children on their ship after a raid and ﬁnd themselves locked in a thrilling adventure steeped in superstition and the power of childhood perception. What looks at an early stage to be a tale of light-hearted adventure quite literally sails into darker waters as it progresses and this movie directed by Alexander Mackendrick is as good an adaptation of a classic novel as one could wish for. If you take your laptop on holiday from July 25th (the release date) then you could do a lot worse than take this DVD with you as it will entertain all members of the family although there are scenes that might be disturbing for the very young and impressionable.

THE STRANGE WORLD OF GURNEY SLADE (Network) Network DVD, erstwhile distributors of rare and classic British TV shows have done themselves proud with the August release of the all but forgotten The Strange World of Gurney Slade starring the late great Anthony Newley as the eponymous anti-hero of the title. Way ahead of its time in theme and content this fascinating 1960 six episode comedy series is far different from anything else of the era and will fascinate those who take the trouble to share Gurney’s surrealistic journey of self discovery in a London that is barely recognisable to us nowadays. Newley, whose personality and looks much resemble Robbie Williams, is an engaging presence on screen and those who get into the style of this unusual show will be much rewarded as Gurney interacts with talking animals, inanimate objects and the varied individuals he meets along the way. I would go so far as to say that this series is to UK comedy what “The Prisoner” is to drama and it is little wonder that audiences of the day were confused and bewildered by the short lived series. This begs to be rediscovered and thanks to Network it has been.
