Went to the Bunch of Grapes in Pontypridd for a meal last night - pubs and restaurants in Wales were allowed to open for indoor dining from Monday this week. Our first meal out near home in Wales since the beginning of March.

The food was really good, especially the Roasted Cod Loin, so I can’t resist posting some details. 😀
