Bryn Williams to open restaurant at Theatr Clwyd in 2025

Chef Bryn Williams is to open his third restaurant in Wales next year.

The Denbigh-raised chef will launch a site at the Theatr Clwyd in Mold, North Wales as part of a redevelopment project.

He will also oversee the food and beverage offer in the theatre’s bars, events and retail spaces.

It will be the fifth overall restaurant project for Williams, who is also behind Odette’s in London, Porth Eirias in Colwyn Bay, the Touring Club in Penarth, and the Cambrian in the Swiss Alps.

Both Porth Eirias and the Touring Club hold Michelin Bib Gourmands, which the Michelin Guide awards to restaurants with “good quality, good value cooking”.

“I am thrilled to be returning home to my native Wales, to work in partnership with Theatr Clwyd, an organisation I have known and loved since being a child growing up locally,” said Williams.

“I can’t wait to share my culinary passion for our distinct and dynamic region and its produce with my community.”

The Theatr Clwyd has been running since 1976 and is currently undergoing a major redevelopment to revamp its public spaces and improve the sustainability of the building.

Liam Evans-Ford, Theatr Clwyd’s executive director, said: “We always aim to work with people who are world class at what they do, who share our values, and who have strong links to our locality. 

“Bryn delivers on all these, and we look forward to working with him to make Theatr Clwyd known as a food and drink destination, as well a venue for world-class culture and communities work.”
