Matt’s vision for the new FIR is to create a food haven showcasing the finest ingredients from Wales and around the world. 🍏πŸ₯• He aims not only to make FIR a must-visit dining spot but also to elevate Hay-on-Wye as a top food destination in Wales.

The new spot sits in a location formerly held by the prestigious Green Michelin Star restaurant, Chapters, and will also collaborate with local producers like breweries, cider companies, bakeries, and traditional butchers.

🌿 From Matt:
“I want Hay to become the Welsh example of a real food destination. I’ll be working with the brewery just down the road and highlighting all the local treasures alongside FIR.”

With a background working at Michelin-starred restaurants like Casamia and L’Enclume, and years under the belt at Wales’ double Michelin-starred Ynyshir, Matt brings a wealth of experience and a flair for innovation to his new venture.

πŸ™Œ Mark your calendars and prepare your taste buds for an unforgettable dining experience in Hay-on-Wye!
