The Walnut Tree restaurant was opened in the early 1960s, and eventually became Michelin starred for its Italian/Welsh fusion cuisine. After the original owner retired, it was taken over by his son, and after losing its Michelin rating featured on the Channel 4 television show Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. It closed for a period, and has now reopened under new ownership.[2] It has now been awarded a fresh Michelin star.
