The mussels were definitely the highlight. Would be very interested to visit the Golden Lion to see how it compares.

New on the blog, it's Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias. With its beautiful views in a tourist destination and a celebrity name tag, I was a little bit sceptical about how good it was going to be. gourmetgorro.blogspot.com/2026/05/bryn...

Was good to see such a strong line-up of vendors. I really like it down there on a sunny day.

Gourmet Gorro - Ed Gilbert @gourmetgorro.bsky.social · 13/04/2026
Most definitely! They often do pop-up supper clubs around south Wales so they might be in Monmouthshire at some point.

Gourmet Gorro - Ed Gilbert @gourmetgorro.bsky.social · 13/04/2026
Trader line-up is currently really good - Waroeng Nona (until next week, I think), Fire and Flank, Roma'Eat, and Keralan Karavan. I'm not a fan of the e-ordering and accompanying transaction fee but it's well worth a visit on a sunny day.

We also had a lovely chicken parm focaccia from Roma'Eat at Tiger Yard #Cardiff

Gourmet Gorro - Ed Gilbert @gourmetgorro.bsky.social · 12/04/2026
Waroeng Nona's beef rendang (£13.50) and chicken satay (£8.50) are two of my absolute favourite dishes in the whole of Cardiff. So it's great to see this Indonesian street food trader is currently popping up at Tiger Yard in #Cardiff Bay. We had a belting lunch yesterday.
