James Sommerin became the first Penarth Michelin Star restaurant recently beating Cardiff with nil poise, having no restaurants with the highly respected accolade for outstanding culinary expertise themselves.

Situated along the Esplenade in Penarth it makes for outstanding views whilst chowing down on some of the best food in South Wales.

I’ve had my eyes set on the restaurant for a while especially and fancy sampling the 6 course tasted menu. Price being the main factor in me not trying it yet as it normally sets you back £70 each but Travelzoo Local are currently offering two diners a 6 course tasting menu for just £79.

I managed to catch the last few hours of Picnic Penarth last weekend where James Sommerin pitched up a stall selling a few gourmet nibbles but just my luck I left it too late and my fav dishes had all gone by then.

If you fancy purchasing a James Sommerin discount voucher for 2 for £79 or 4 diners for for just £149 then head over to Travelzoo quickly as this deal won’t last long.

The restaurant discount voucher is valid Tuesday to Sunday for lunch between 12-2.30pm up until 32st August 2017 so you’ll have plenty of time to use it this summer. Sat in window looking out over the Bristol Channel in the summer sun, working your way through 6 expertly crafted courses washed down with a lovely cold glass of Sauv Blanc.

The recently relaunched Grey’ s Restaurant at the Hilton Hotel in Cardiff are currently offering an afternoon tea discount for two guests for just £23 including a glass of bubbly.

With Cardiff Castle as the perfect backdrop to sample triple layered sandwiches, welsh cakes, scones with clotted cream and jam plus a selection of mini pastries such as macarons this afternoon tea discount voucher would make nice little Christmas gift for sisters, mums and grandmothers although not forgetting the male appreciators of sugary treats as I wouldn’t mind this one myself.

I bought one for my grandmother back last year when there was a similar discount on the afternoon tea at the Hilton but that was before the relaunch of the new Grey’s Restaurant and that didn’t include a glass of bubbly either so I’m sure it will be even better this time even though nanny Carole wasn’t complaining about hers anyway.

My mum decided to buy a separate voucher for her sister at the time but you can purchase an afternoon tea discount voucher for 4 too instead of messing around with multiple vouchers for just £45.

As i’ve mentioned previously on the site, Park House is a well kept secret close to the city centre but off the beaten track of those scouring the streets of the Welsh capital following their the scents wafting around the bustling arcades and side streets that are the usual suspects for filling hungry bellies.

I’ve sampled the 7 course taster menu but yet to dine at Park House for the afternoon tea but after stumbling upon this great offer of afternoon tea for 2 for just £29 instead of the usual £50 so it’s nearly a half price discount.

They don’t just have Dave whose just done his level 1 BTEC in food behind the kitchen churning out plates of cheese and onion sandwiches and a wedge of stale Victoria Sponge here, oh no!

A little bit about the accolades of the hidden gem and the man behind the sorcery being concocted behind the flames in the kitchen.

The 2-AA-Rosette restaurant is “one of the most enjoyable places to eat in Cardiff”, according to The AA Restaurant Guide 2016.

Head chef Iain Inman, who has worked with the likes of Jean-Christophe Novelli, gained experience at the 2-Michelin-star The Square Restaurant, and was later appointed head chef at the 5-star Pennyhill Park under the mentorship of 2-Michelin-star chef Michael Wignall.

Park House has won multiple awards, including the South Wales Echo’s Restaurant of the Year 2013-2014, and the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence 2015.

So why have I never been to this contender for best restaurant of the year in Wales before? Well you’ve only got yourself to blame for that one but fear not if you jog on over to Travelzoo right now you can sample some of the magnificent creations that are being expertly crafted to meet the high expectations of Park Houses dinners for a fraction of the normal price of the afternoon tea.

This Park House afternoon tea discount is a time limited offer and are only usually available to buy for a couple of days and maybe a week on the Travelzoo website so be quick before they are all gone. You can get a discount voucher for the afternoon the for either 2 dinners for £29 or 4 dinners for just £50 getting it half price. Once you’ve purchased the vouchers from Travelzoo you can use them between 12-4pm Wed-Sat until 31 Oct.

Do you fancy trying an afternoon tea with a difference? How about trying the delectable array of pastries and sweet stuff on offer at Cardiff’s Park Plaza Laguna Restaurant’s afternoon tea but quaffing back a potent Hendrick’s elderflower collins gin cocktail instead of a pot of Earl Grey?

Park Plaza do like to offer it’s dinners ever changing options for it’s afternoon tea and it’s latest offering is the Hendrick’s G & Tea afternoon tea. You get the same scrumdidliumptious finger sandwiches, scones, pastries and cakes but for those who are partial to making the most of an afternoon out you can ditch the tea for something a bit stronger with it’s signature Hendrick’s elderflower collins (Hendrick’s gin, St Germain elderflower liqueur, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice and soda) served in a special Hendrick’s teapot.

Why not make an actual afternoon of it and leave the best till last with a discount voucher towards the Hendrick’s G & Tea afternoon tea and full use of the spa facilities at the Laguna Health Spa at the hotel for just £27 each. You can emerse yourself in the tranquil waters, bubbles and steam of the spa making you totally relaxed in the knowledge you’re going to be sampling some of the best afternoon tea delights on offer in Cardiff all washed down with a fine gin cocktail at the end of your pamper session.

Customers of the afternoon tea’s don’t normally gain access to the spa facilities of the hotel normally so this is a great deal and would make the ideal gift for a birthday or just to put a smile on someone special’s face because who needs an excuse to pamper yourself and eat devilishly good plates of carbs with a gin chaser!

Please not this is a time limited offer so be quick to snap it up before it disappears or is all booked up on Travelzoo.
