Welcome
Gem42’s culinary journey is very much about tradition with innovation. All the dishes and ingredients are researched and studied, sourced locally, tried and tasted at Gem42’s Lab Test Kitchen. As the seasons change, so too do our menus. Our tasting menu is designed to rotate with the seasons and showcase Italian dishes with a Welsh accent.
