Vibrant, edgy, cool yet comfortable – these are just a few of the words that Twenty Nine Park Place brings to mind. The townhouse pub in Cardiff is the latest addition to Knife & Fork Food’s already successful collection. The interior is painted an £25 to arresting shade of teal, with contemporary artwork on the walls and comfy £35 armchairs strewn throughout. With an extensive beer, wine and spirit offering and two-for-one cocktails every Thursday, this is the perfect spot for city centre drinking and once there, who could resist staying on for a sophisticated supper? Twenty Nine Park Place offers a tempting and very reasonable lunch menu as well as a heavenly Sunday brunch menu that hits the spot – why not stop by for eggs Florentine with an indulgent Hazelnut Espresso Martini? In the evenings the inviting à la carte boasts the likes of juicy scallops in butternut squash velouté with almond crumb, and delectable pâté of Caerphilly, celeriac and hazelnut with pear purée and delicate puff pastry shards. For those preferring Open: more traditional fare, choose from Mon-Sat noon-1am; popular pub classics like burgers, Sun 10am-7pm fish and chips, and a grill board. There are also vegetarian and vegan dishes creative enough to tempt any palate – think rich celeriac and mushroom strudel with charred goat’s cheese, kale and mulled wine caramel. From start to finish everything is cooked on-site, so for the perfect end to your meal indulge in one of the pastry chef’s choices, such as the irresistible Snickers tart or delicately decorated summer Arctic roll.

Upon arrival at The Clink, you’ll be greeted by a stylish restaurant: large windows and high ceilings create a sense of spaciousness and comfy leather seating provides a luxurious feel. The menus at The Clink are a celebration of modern British cuisine and food is served throughout the day. Stop by for a plate of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast, enjoy a mouth-watering lunch of succulent charred pork chop with courgette, sage and ricotta agnolotti, or smooth vegan tarragon polenta gnocchi. You might even treat yourself to a sophisticated afternoon tea.
In the evening, the selection is equally impressive. Begin with a tender confit duck starter with rhubarb gel, before moving on to a main of blackened darne of salmon with samphire. Other tempting mains include the spicy chickpea ragu, while mouth-watering desserts such as creamy lemon verbena crème brûlée are sure to impress. 10
