25 June | Tommy Heaney Guest Chef
Enjoy a one off 7-course tasting menu created by our Guest Chef Tommy Heaney & Steven Edwards.

Tommy Heaney is Head Chef and owner of Heaneys Cardiff, his eponymous restaurant that opened in 2018. Born in a small town just outside of Belfast called Crumlin.

Travelling throughout the US cooking in kitchens instead of enrolling in catering college, meant that Tommy gained invaluable, hands-on knowledge, that put him in good stead for the rest of his culinary career. Returning to the UK at the age of 18, Tommy landed a job with Chef Tony Hughes, who taught Tommy a repertoire of classic culinary techniques, adding to his already vast amount of self-study. Feeling confident about his cooking, Tommy was set for his next adventure which took him to Australia where he worked in award-winning restaurants and to Thailand where he discovered even more dishes and totally new flavours. Craving to put all of his passion into practice, Tommy headed to London and began working with Richard Corrigan until he realised that despite the vibrant restaurant scene, he couldn’t afford to live in London.

Coinciding with the start of a new family, Tommy moved out of London and soon found himself running Restaurant Tommy Heaney at The Great House in Bridgend. It was here that Tommy was able to combine his learnings and influence from the people that he had worked with to create his own signature style. Simple, pared-back, contemporary and technically accomplished with a focus on minimal waste of the ingredients he uses, Restaurant Tommy Heaney was where Tommy developed his creative flair. Four years at The Great House, Tommy took full advantage of his creative freedom, developed his own menu and bettered his cooking via various self-initiated stages in London’s leading kitchens including Dabbous and Le Champignon Sauvage. Rave reviews followed and an invitation to appear on BBC’s Great British Menu (2018) confirmed Tommy’s reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting culinary talents.

As this is a one off event please note we will not be able to cater for dietary requirements.

Please note we take a non-refundable £20 deposit per person for all reservations to guard against no-shows and short notice cancellations. This will be taken off your final bill in the restaurant.
