Having dealt with the Hardwick for upwards two years, it’s always a pleasure to deliver wine to this top restaurant - Michel Roux Jr's favourite in Wales! Nestled in the rolling hills just two miles from Abergavenny, this restaurant (with accommodation) sources locally produced ingredients of the highest quality and is owned by Stephen and Jo Terry. Stephen won his first Michelin star aged 25 and at the Hardwick has created a restaurant of genuine quality, hospitality and inspiration. From a well-chosen menu, bolstered by an equally knowledgeable wine list, Stephen and his team have created an absolute gem with the Hardwick.
In a nutshell, if you are in this area and wanting good food, some great Italian Wine (from Ricco of course) and perhaps accommodation, a visit here is a must. Since supplying the Hardwick I have even been able to overcome the emotional trauma of the Welsh occasionally beating the English at Rugby.
A recent highlight was the experience of Stephens' rump of Lamb with Black Olive Gnocchi, accompanied by a glass of Piergiovanni Giusti's L'Intruso - one of our wines to be found on Stephen’s wine list.
