Harden's survey result
Summary
“Tommy (Heaney) is a great chef and a great character”, say fans of the chef’s swanky five-year old, in the Cardiff ‘burbs, which he launched after working at Bridgend’s Great House hotel (an appearance on Great British Menu boosting his profile). Sample tasting menus or à la carte, or hit up his next door oyster and wine bar, Uisce (pronounced ‘ish-ka’, meaning ‘water’ in Gaelic).
Summary
Tommy Heaney’s “fantastic food that challenges the taste buds” has wowed diners at the “atmospheric” venue he opened in a leafy suburb of Cardiff four years ago, after a stint at the Great House hotel in Bridgend. The self-taught Northern Irish chef has worked around the world, gathering influences in the US, Australia, Thailand and London that show up on his “great taster menu”. Appearances on the Great British Menu brought him to a wider audience, and he has also opened an oyster and wine bar, Uisce, next door.
Summary
“Very good indeed” – the verdict on Tommy Heaney (of Great British Menu fame)’s accessible small plates spot, which he launched three years ago to great acclaim after moving on from the Great House hotel in Bridgend. You’ll also find his oyster and wine bar, Uisce, next door.
Summary
Chef Tommy Heaney, from Great British Menu, moved from the Great House hotel in Bridgend in October 2018 to open his own project in Pontcanna, on a well-known site that’s hosted Arbennig and Le Gallois in their day (both now RIP). Serving a variety of small plates, plus various other menus (including vegan and vegetarian options) , fans have immediately hailed it as “Cardiff’s best” – it would have scored even higher were it not for the odd ‘off’ report.
