Cattle & Co to take on former Sosban site

American barbecue restaurant Cattle & Co has announced it will be taking over the former Sosban site in Llanelli for its second venue.

Joining its first site in Swansea, the restaurant within Llanelli’s pump house is due to reopen under the Cattle & Co brand in April.

A post on the restaurant’s Facebook page said: “We’re working hard behind the scenes to bring a new, relaxed and fun family dining experience to the area. We’re incredibly lucky to have these breathtaking scenes on our doorstep and we’re so excited to move into this beautiful venue.”

Sosban announced its sudden closure in February 2019, blaming the rising costs of running the restaurant.

The Michelin-starred Camarthenshire restaurant was overseen by 2018 Great British Menu contestant Andrew Sheridan. The site was opened in 2011 by Sian Rees and Ian Wood, who left in 2015. It was backed by Bendigo 910, whose directors included broadcaster and former AA Restaurant Guide editor Simon Wright, together with Welsh international rugby players Stephen Jones and Dwayne Peel and Carmarthenshire businessman Robert Williams.
