Welcome To The New Restaurant,

 that is taking Cardiff in Wales by storm,

called The Clink it almost has people queueing up to get in, so many people have rated it the restaurant has recently been named the number one restaurant in Cardiff, Wales, by TripAdvisor, after getting more votes than all the other 945 restaurants in the Welsh capital, the restaurant comes up with seasonal dishes made from locally sourced fresh ingredients, some of the typical menu options include ‘venison and wild boar ragout with game sausage, char-grilled polenta and seasonal vegetables’ and ‘a celebration of rhubarb’, 

The Clink, which opened in September 2012, is a 96-seat restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch, but it is not open for evening meals, it has received rave reviews from most of the users on the hugely popular travel website TripAdvisor, mostly for their ‘friendly and informative staff, the standard set by everyone at this venue would be hard to match in any other restaurant we have been to in recent times,' a happy diner wrote, 'the waiters were great with perfect service, better than we have had in some star restaurants and also attentive to your needs,' another said, 

'the whole team is delighted to have made it to the top spot on TripAdvisor, and to be ranked so highly against almost 1,000 restaurants in the city is a huge achievement for us,' said general manager Jason Lawrence, 'the recognition we have received from so many of the diners for the atmosphere we’ve created, the effort we put into sourcing our ingredients, the high standard of front of house service offered by the waiters is incredible, a big thank you to everyone who has left such kind comments on our page, we’ll continue to impress our customers and hope we can stay at pole position for the foreseeable future,' he added, so if you want to book the restaurant is in HM Prison Cardiff, yes you read that correctly, to be served the allegedly best food in Cardiff according to TripAdvisor you have to go to jail! but there is a serious side to the prisons restaurant, it gives the opportunity to invite potential employers and create job opportunities for inmates, but also change public perception of prisoners, said Chef Alberto Crisci, the brain behind The Clink, 

one is happy to note that Graham Frederick Young, is no longer eligible to be housed there as he died in 1990, but here is the very good news, over time, the restaurant has managed to help reduce the re-offending rate of prisoners who worked there to 12.5 percent, compared to the national average of 47 percent, so the idea of giving prisoners responsibility, jobs and interacting with the public certainly seems to be working if these results are anything to go by, who knows if other governors take on the idea perhaps there can be a Best Prison Food Cook Off!
