Hot spots - Cardiff
MEET AND EAT
LE PIERRE BISTROT
Where? Caroline Street, The Old
Brewery Quarter, Cardiff.
Why? With ever-changing dietary
requirements these days, it can often take
something special for a restaurant to not
only keep up with the latest trends, but
to also stay true to its culinary values.
Fortunately, Le Pierre Bistrot in Cardiff’s
Old Brewery Quarter, has managed to
combine the elegance of French dining
with an optional gluten-free menu. It
can be tricky to find good gluten-free
menus in restaurants, and this problem
doesn’t just stop those with a glutenfree diet from eating out; it makes it
difficult for the family and friends of
gluten-free eaters too, as they struggle
to find restaurants to cater for all their
needs, resulting in them not being able
to dine out together. The gluten-free
option is perfect for any businessperson
with special dietary requirements, and
features almost everything from the
regular menu, giving an unusual volume
of choice. This will be music to the ears
(and taste-buds) of any gluten-intolerant
readers.
The food itself is wonderfully prepared
by its chefs, under the guidance of Head
Chef, Ben Morse. His classic Frenchinspired menu features favourites such
as baked camembert entrees that melt
in your mouth. Now you can conduct
business over a meal, or just relax after
a hard day of meetings, safe in the
knowledge that there is a superb option
that caters for even the most discerning
of clients.

EVENTS, GATHERINGS & HUBS
CELTIC MANOR
Where? Usk Valley, near Cardiff.
Why? There is a term that is often
thrown around lightly these days - the
“Wow” factor. One of the most important
ingredients when looking to host any
conference or event, for once, the term is
more than justified here.
Both inside and out, Celtic Manor is a
visual delight. The 19th Century manor
is quaint and homely, reminiscent of
chocolate-box villages, whilst inside, the
conference facilities don’t disappoint
either. At its heart is the 1500-delegate
Caernarfon Suite (pictured), with
adjoining pre-function areas and worldclass technical facilities, making it easy
to see why Celtic Manor Resort has been
voted C&IT’s Top UK Conference Hotel
for five consecutive years.
The host venue for The Ryder Cup in
2010, the five-star Celtic Manor Resort
is set in more than 2,000 acres of
panoramic parkland, and also features
three 18-hole golf courses - perfect for
any corporate golf day!
