The Michelin-starred chef James Sommerin is set to open his second venue in Wales.

The new, unnamed business will be located in a new development in Barry, Wales' largest town and close to the capital city of Cardiff.

The Goodsheds development will see a heritage brick railway building converted to include Mr Sommerin's new venue.

Mr Sommerin, who has long been among the very best chefs in Wales, is one of two big-name tenants taking a place at the Goodsheds development near the town's railway station.

Also taking space in the former railway building will be Spectrum Collection, the make-up brush company started by two sisters from Barry who have since grown it into a multi-million pound global brand.

The third business in the red brick building, which was previously known as the Gwalia Buildings, will be a craft beer bar called Craft Republic. Above the businesses will be 11 apartments.

Outside the building 50 shipping containers will house permanent restaurant units, shops, community spaces, a bar linked to the nearby Academy coffee shop and offices.

Loft Co has also bought back part of the railway line and will house a number of businesses in former carriages. This will include a 16-seater cinema.
