Background


Although neither of us had any formal training our love of cooking and food led us to open Tomlins Vegetarian Restaurant in September 1997. 0ur aim was to provide not only a safe haven (heaven) for vegetarians and vegans but to show that vegetarian cooking could be top quality and rival other restaurants.

We proved this by growing in reputation to being the best rated restaurant in Cardiff according to ‘Hardens London and UK Restaurant guide’ 2002 & 2003.


   
   
Having achieved this and with David’s standing as a top vegetarian chef growing with radio work, guest writing in local papers and cookery demonstrations in Cardiff and Mid Wales we felt it was time to move on yet still be involved in cooking.

As so many customers were asking for recipes and lessons the idea of a vegetarian guest house and cookery school seemed to be a logical progression. But where? We considered other places in Wales and the UK but kept on coming back to France; the life style, the space, the excellent produce, the love of food and the quality of life.

So here we are. We hope you enjoy your time with us, enjoy the food and enjoy the experience that is Tomlins.
