Metro reviews

Thursday, July 23, 2009 - Chef Stefan Nilsson offers a range of easy-going, uncomplicated dishes with contemporary flair and proper respect for ingredients and flavours...Four fat slices of moist pork loin came in a delicious gravy that had plenty of oomph, and were balanced by a lovely sweet/savoury/salty combination of peas, mushrooms, braised lettuce and smoked bacon. My friend's plaice fillets with sweet potato puree and cockles had some great flavours going on, but needed tweaking...The New Conway is doing all the right things with friendly staff, an unpretentious atmosphere and a menu that goes far beyond average pub grub.

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - You can really feel the love that's gone into The Promised Land. With a name like that, what else would you expect? Opened by Nick Davidson and Alan Savory in the spot that Benedicto's Italian restaurant used to occupy, this new Cardiff bar has got a vibe that you can't help but warm to.
