Exciting news from Machynlleth! Gwen, the cosy restaurant known as Wales’ best, was set to close but has been given a new lease of life. Michelin-starred chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias is set to take over, ensuring Gwen remains open for business.
This tiny gem, loved for its intimate eight-seat dining experience, was originally going to close its doors in May after its successful three-year run under the guidance of Corrin Harrison. Corrin and his team made a remarkable impact, but now it’s time for the next chapter.
The new culinary lead, Peter Sanchez-Iglesias, brings an impressive pedigree, having led Michelin-starred eateries like Paco Tapas and Casamia in Bristol. Gareth Ward, co-owner of Gwen and mastermind behind Ynyshir, compared Peter’s involvement to signing a football superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo—this is big news for foodies!
Gareth remarked, “Peter’s one of the best chefs this country has ever seen, and to have him take Gwen forward is just mind-blowing.” It’s a thrilling new chapter for Gwen, ensuring this beloved restaurant, named in honour of Gareth’s mum, carries on its legacy in style.
Stay tuned as Gwen continues to surprise with culinary delights under its new leadership. Fans of fine dining, get ready—this is going to be spectacular! 🍽️✨
