The Big Windsor...

There's a plaque on the front of The Windsor Hotel in Cardiff Bay that comemorates the French chef who worked there after the War. It reads:

IN THE DIFFICULT
DAYS FOLLOWING
THE WAR 1939-45
ABEL
MAGNERON
1890-1954
HERE ACHIEVED
A GASTRONOMIC
STANDARD WHICH

ENTENTE CORDIALE

The Big Windsor, as it used to be known and still is by some in the docks, was a popular local pub but also attracted visitors from further afield, some of them quite well known: Noel Coward, Katherine Hepburn, Kenneth Moore and Hugh Griffiths - to name a few.

It was refurbished some time ago and transformed into an Indian restaurant after lying derelict for years.
