A Welsh restaurant has landed a spot on the UK's top 100 list for outdoor dining, thanks to its stellar reviews. Booking platform OpenTable has just unveiled their 2025 roundup, featuring a Welsh gem among the best spots for al fresco meals.
The latest rankings draw from over 800,000 verified diner reviews and various dining metrics collected between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025. To make the grade, restaurants needed a substantial number of diner reviews and were assessed based on a range of data points.
These included diner ratings, the proportion of five-star feedback, alert settings, advance reservation percentages, seating capacity utilisation, and direct search frequency.
After crunching the numbers for an overall score, only those with outdoor dining facilities were shortlisted. Making the prestigious list is Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias, helmed by the celebrated TV chef and nestled beside the picturesque sandy shores of Colwyn Bay.
Boasting an outdoor terrace, the restaurant offers diners a quasi-maritime experience, complemented by expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. With a commendable 4.7 out of 5 rating on OpenTable, amassed from nearly 4,000 reviews, the venue is a hit among patrons, reports North Wales Live.

'We live in an ordinary terraced house that looks like a royal palace inside — we decorated it ourselves'
Royston Jones and Fiona Gray have spent 27 years transforming their traditional end-of-terrace house into a stately home. Tucked away near Swansea sits an ordinary end-of-terrace house that conceals one of the region's most extraordinary interiors - a breathtaking transformation that will leave visitors utterly stunned. Behind its unremarkable façade lies a home so spectacular it rivals the grandest stately mansions dotted across the British countryside. Royston Jones and Fiona Gray have called this remarkable property home for more than 27 years, painstakingly crafting an interior that transports guests to another world entirely. Reflecting on their incredible renovation journey, Royston explains: "When we arrived many original features were ripped out but there were some of the interior features left, like the panel doors and the just one or two sort of decorative things so I just thought, 'well, come on, let's decorate it, because it's so dull'." The pair have certainly achieved that goal in spectacular fashion - armed with countless buckets of plaster and PVA, reports Wales Online. Step through the front door and you're immediately amazed by intricate plasterwork and stunning artwork, which adorns nearly every ceiling and wall throughout the property. The desire to craft a miniature stately home within their Welsh terrace stems from two sources, Royston believes - his ancestry and their artistic careers. However, examining their residence, it comes as no shock to discover this couple aren't merely ordinary artists, but extraordinary model creators too, crafting room and dwelling replicas in 1:8 scale for royalty, diplomats and the wealthy elite. Royston explains: "I've always loved stately homes. I was an unwanted child, I didn't know anything about my background until much later on in my life. And then I discovered that the people I came from were avid builders in the 18th century. "They built a whole load of mansions and stuff up in Cardiganshire, which is where I hail from originally, and I think you just inherit stuff like that. And I've always loved architecture and I've always loved the interiors of particularly neoclassical late Georgian stately homes from 1760 to 1800, I think that's how it started." The couple's expertise in creating models to an exquisite and intricate standard has attracted clientele including Lord Rothschild and Princess Diana's relatives, the Spencer's. Many of those projects demanded years rather than months of painstaking labour, undoubtedly requiring unwavering precision and boundless patience. Fiona says: "I am patient in nature, but there was one particular part of a room with a dome, which we had to cast in fibreglass, and it was a complete nightmare. We did it about three or four times, and it just took so much time. "But we had to get it right, for our own satisfaction and also, and most importantly, for the client we were working for. It's just something that is just part of us, you know, if something needs to be unpicked and redone, we'll just do it." Fiona explains that inspiration for their own home stems from numerous sources, though there's one primary influence. She says: "We've made a great study into the works of 18th century architect James Wyatt, plus the contemporary architects of the 18th century, so we've got a very large photographic archive covering all of that period. For inspiration for a design that's where we go; to our archive." Royston creates stunningly elaborate plasterwork featuring panels and ceiling roses, cornicing and paintings for the ceilings - despite the fact that the artists admits he's "not very good at heights". He continues: "But overall it's such fun and it's such a lovely thing to make and you just get carried away, you don't worry about your stiff neck, you just get on with it." Both creatives are in agreement that the most demanding aspect of bringing each design to life is the extremely precise measurements needed. Royston explains: "It's got to be accurately measured out, and it's got to be symmetrically placed on the ceiling, in the space that you have. You can't be an inch out, really, you can't, it has to be very, very symmetrically placed. "And when the design joins different elements together you've got to make sure that you try to make the join as invisible as possible. It's all about mathematical accuracy, as much as you can achieve, really." The creations are crafted from a mixture of plaster, moulded features and even cardboard, with Royston blending the paint to achieve the precise colour they desire. Each ceiling or wall can require between three to five weeks, depending on the layers of detail incorporated in the design. The majority of sections within a design are then attached using either PVA glue or UHU glue. Royston explains: "The cornicing and the friezes are the worst, they're always long winded because of all the intricacy of the beading and the details such as leaves and urns - all those ornaments have to be cast and dried and stuck on. "The ceilings are fairly straightforward, as long as you measure it up correctly - if you don't measure it out and you just stick things on, you realise that it's in the wrong place, then it's all got to come off and you've got to start again." Royston reveals Fiona handles more of the complex details, explaining: "She does the casting. She's very good at casting, she's a bit of a genius. I don't do any of the casting, I just model the ornaments and she creates them. And that takes as long as it takes. And then you've got to let it dry. That's the boring bit. It takes a couple of days, two or three days sometimes." Fiona adds: "I'm just sitting there making these ornaments, in some cases hundreds of these things, and you get to thinking, 'well, when will I ever finish this?' But, you know, the finished result is always very much worth all the repetitive effort, and it's all just part of the project." The couple have one more room to complete to their satisfaction but, due to condensation issues, have decided that the kitchen and bathroom won't be joining the grand manor atmosphere that flows throughout the remainder of their property. Royston remains optimistic that their hard work might encourage others to have a crack at designing more thrilling ceilings in their own homes, explaining: "Give it a go, and if it doesn't work or you don't like it, you take it down and try again or just don't do it again." When guests step inside this ordinary terraced house, Royston reveals they're typically greeted by the same response. He explains: "Well, mostly people don't say anything - they're kind of struck dumb! But it's nice to get a bit of feedback, you know, when people do come and look at it and are captivated." Royston remarked: "One or two (people) think we're showing off and that is hurtful. We're not showing off. We're not people who do that. We just want to give people joy and pleasure, the pleasure of having a look at it. That's all. We've got nothing to show off about, we're very modest people. "It's done for fun and to give people joy and to show people that the world can be quite a beautiful, magical place in your home. This is about love. It's not about showing off."

British holidaymakers risk being rejected from flights over unknown airport rule
British holidaymakers risk being rejected from flights over unknown airport rule A drained phone battery could leave you stranded, prevent you from boarding a flight, or even result in your device being confiscated Your mobile phone being out of battery could prevent you from boarding your flight (Image: Getty Images) British holidaymakers, particularly those carrying blue and burgundy passports, risk having their holidays "ruined" by a "secret" airport regulation. Even before reaching the departure gate, travellers may encounter unforeseen disruption due to an obscure airport security requirement. Whilst most passengers worry about lengthy security queues or industrial action causing flight cancellations, it's actually your mobile phone that could potentially derail your entire trip. Travel specialists from WildPack American Summer Camps have issued an alert that a flat phone battery could leave you stranded, stop you from boarding, or even lead to your device being seized. In separate news, British passport holders are being advised to take one vital step before 12 October, reports Chronicle Live. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . Travel expert Jamie Fraser explained: "Many travellers are unaware that airport security now operates under stricter guidelines regarding electronic devices. "If security personnel cannot switch on your phone to conduct necessary checks, they have the authority to deem the device, or you, a security risk." Should gadgets fail to function when requested, you won't be permitted to take them on the aircraft. Airport personnel may require you to demonstrate your device works by powering it on. Article continues below Should your device be damaged or entirely flat and cannot be switched on when asked, you will be banned from bringing it aboard the aircraft. Travel guidance on states: "Make sure your electronic devices are charged before you travel. If your device does not switch on when requested, you will not be allowed to take it onto the aircraft." Although the majority of travellers won't need to prove their devices are working properly, airport security staff may occasionally carry out random checks. Despite this rule being in place for a significant period, numerous passengers still don't know it exists. Jamie Fraser comments: "While it might seem extreme, these regulations are in place for everyone's safety. A non-functioning device raises suspicion and can lead to significant delays and potential denial of boarding. In some cases, security might even confiscate the device for further inspection." He recommends travellers ensure their mobile phone is fully charged before heading to the airport and to bring along a charging lead. Article continues below Taking a portable power bank could be crucial, especially if you're embarking on a lengthy trip or experiencing unexpected delays. It's also sensible to get a paper boarding pass if your airline offers one as a backup. It's essential to familiarise yourself with your airline and airport's particular rules regarding electronic devices.

Senedd Member concerned over possible cuts to Powys buses
Passengers looking to travel between Newtown and Cardiff could face delays as major changes are coming to the route. From September, the T4 bus route between the Powys town and the Welsh capital city will reportedly undergo major changes, as Celtic Travel will be taking over part of the service. But this has created concerns that the direct link service will be scrapped. While currently, passengers can travel between Newtown and Cardiff on a single T4 bus with no changes, the new arrangement could see Celtic Travel operating the service from Newtown to Merthyr only, meaning passengers will need to transfer to the X4 service to travel to places south of Merthyr, such as Pontypridd and Cardiff. James Evans, Member of the Senedd (MS) for Brecon and Radnorshire, has expressed concerns over this X4 route taking longer due to additional stops in Treforest. He said: 'Transport for Wales' promises of an 'enhanced' service are a sham. Instead, we are seeing timetables reduced, direct buses withdrawn and significantly longer travel times to reach Cardiff. These contractual changes are not progress – this is a step backwards for the residents of Brecon & Radnorshire. 'We don't have a final timetable published as yet – but I fear what further changes they are planning next for the Brecon to Hereford route, and Brecon to Abergavenny route. 'Our bus services are a lifeline in this area, whether for travelling for work or social, and I cannot believe Transport for Wales think these changes are an 'enhancement' – it is the very opposite of that.' Further cuts to the T4 service include the reduction in the timetable and removal of stops at Bronllys and Talgarth. Mr Evans said he is due to meet with Transport for Wales officials later in August where he plans to discuss the concerns over cuts to these bus services. A Transport for Wales spokesperson said: "The T14 service between Brecon and Hereford will no longer operate as part of the TrawsCymru network. "The service will continue to run under the local bus network, ensuring continuity for passengers while allowing for greater alignment with regional transport needs."
