Hiraeth; a term unique to Wales and Welsh culture, an intangible pull on the heart that conveys a deep sense of belonging, the desire to return to the place of one’s birth, to come home. For The Shed Restaurant and Executive Chef Jonathan Woolway, our place in the world is happily Swansea.
Composed along the expanse of Swansea Bay, flanked by the Gower Peninsula and Brecon Beacons, within striking distance of the fertile valleys, coastal plains and farmland of West Wales, the Waterfront City of Swansea sits at the beating heart of nature’s larder. Bounties of the season from land, sea and pasture are at our fingertips.
An ongoing relationship exists between a Chef and their ingredients, between suppliers and diners, between one moment and the next. Our menus reflect a constant creative evolution, a never ending work in progress, making use of local produce at the very place and moment of their seasonal prime.
A daily changing, locally sourced menu means that each day is a new day, working with respect, common sense and accuracy. We take pride in our environment, are committed to sharing knowledge and devoted to nurturing local talent. This begins in the kitchen and is realised at the table; Egalitarian, convivial and accessible to all. Full in heart and generous of spirit, evoking that indomitable Welsh sense of Hiraeth that we hope will bring our customers back to us time and time again.
