St. David’s Cathedral, the spiritual home of Wales, boasts a stylish new eating place (from May 1) in the form of the Refectory St. Davids in a cleverly converted medieval hall. Breathing new life into a partly ruined section of cathedral, it is the brain-child of restaurateur Bill Sewell, who owns two other cafes in churches, Café @ All Saints in Hereford and The Place Below in London.
Refectory St. Davids serves locally-sourced ingredients in a menu of homemade food, with dishes changing with the season. Among them are Pembrokeshire lamb with roast aubergine, haricot beans and flatbread; Solva crab and rare roast Welsh beef; plus homemade cakes. Prices range from £1.50 for a pot of tea to sandwiches around £4 and main meals from £6-£8.
St. Davids is a small cathedral city, 111 miles west of the Welsh capital Cardiff, a popular place of pilgrimage since the Middle Ages and close to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park with its spectacular coast path.
