DON’T MISS

Angela Gray’s Cookery School at Llanerch Vineyard Angela Gray worked as a personal chef for the great and the good, and her cooking school, set on the doorstep of a vineyard (see Where to stay, p86), has been ranked as one of the UK’s top ten. She tells a great yarn as she talks you through the Welsh classics from rarebit and Welsh cakes to potted Welsh seafood and laverbread. Delicious, informative and entertaining.

Once a former gaol, it’s now home to an eclectic medley of stalls from Welsh cake specialists, cool coffee huts and artisan pizzerias to the best of fruit, veg, surf and turf. 5-7 St Mary Street, CF10 1AU, 029 2087 1214 Oriel Jones Butcher Whether it comes straight from their 364-ha Welsh farm or their very best farmer friends, all the produce from this fourth-generation farmer and butcher is the best the land can offer, from the local pigs that munch in the woodland to the carefully cared for hill-roaming Welsh blacks. Pop in also for mutton that’s ‘fat as puddings, bags of flavour’. 108 Cowbridge Road East, CF11 9DX, 029 2023 0088, orieljones.com
