Basement Michelin restaurant named one of the best in Wales is to close
A basement restaurant that made the Michelin Guide and was named as one of Wales's finest has announced plans to close. Sheeps and Leeks on Stryd Y Porth Mawr/Eastgate Street in Caernarfon was opened by chef Paul Hearn back in 2019. The unassuming former shop features a ground floor kitchen and a basement restaurant with just six tables. Despite its modest restaurant, the venue went into the Michelin Guide. It was later named Welsh 'Fine Dining Restaurant of the Year' at the Prestige Wales Awards 2023. But it has now announced it will close next month. In a statement, they said: "It's with heavy hearts that we share the news that Sheeps And Leeks will be closing its doors at 12 Eastgate Street after our final service on Thursday 31st July. "This has been an incredibly difficult decision, driven by ever-rising costs that are set to continue. But please know — this is not necessarily the end of Sheeps And Leeks. The brand will live on, with plans for pop-ups, a food range, and the possibility of finding a new home at another site in the future. "We're so proud of everything we've achieved at this site over the last six years — from multiple awards to the wonderful memories created with all of you, our amazing guests, supporters, and friends. "A huge thank you to all of our staff, past and present — you've been part of this epic journey and helped shape Sheeps And Leeks into what it became. "I'm deeply grateful to my friends and family who gave up their time and energy to help get the restaurant off the ground — I couldn't have done it without you. We encourage our fellow foodies to use any outstanding gift cards between now and our final service. Any gift cards that are still valid as of today's date will be fully reimbursed if not redeemed." .
