The Hardwick Restaurant, Abergavenny

Stephen Terry and his wife Joanna purchased the old Horse and Jockey public house only three years ago and have in that time have developed a restaurant with an international reputation. This is hardly surprising if you take into account Stephens recognition as one of Britains leading chefs. Any chef that won his first Michelin star at the age of 25 and was mentored by both Marco Pierre White and Michelle Roux is an invaluable asset not only to Abergavenny but the culinary reputation of Wales Stephen has committed his future to this area and has developed relationships with local suppliers giving invaluable support to the local rural economy Milsom Architects were commissioned to design a building that reflects Stephens philosophy. His design brief was a building that achieves the following that are very much part of his own ethic. • A vibrant building with its own identity • An extension that compliments the original building rather than mimics it. • A sustainable building • It should provide an exciting environment that one would expect of a restaurant that is now receiving widespread acclaim
