Sosban & The Old Butchers
Menai Bridge, Isle of Anglesey
Sosban & The Old Butchers gives Anglesey one of the most distinctive dining rooms in Wales. Housed in a former butcher’s shop in Menai Bridge, it feels intimate, unconventional and firmly rooted in the island rather than imported from a big-city template. That sense of scale matters: a meal here can feel like discovering a singular local institution rather than attending a standard luxury-restaurant performance. It remains high in the ranking because it brings real culinary seriousness to Anglesey and helps justify the island’s growing reputation as a food stop as well as a scenic one. For travellers crossing the Menai Strait or touring north-west Wales, it is one of the strongest reasons to build an evening around Menai Bridge rather than simply passing through.
