An historic Welsh building is set for a new lease of life this summer, as the team behind one of Cardiff's most in-demand restaurants announces plans to open at the landmark site. Located on Marine Parade, with sweeping views over the Bristol Channel, Holm House will become the second venue for Silures - recently named Cardiff's most booked restaurant of 2024, by The Fork.
This venture is being launched by Cardiff company A&M Hospitality Group, which was founded by Andrei Maxim and Daf Andrews. Their backgrounds include leading roles at some of London's most prestigious venues including the Savoy Grill, Galvin Bar & Grill and The Coral Room.
They have a popular restaurant in Roath, Cardiff, and they say this new venture will bring its signature blend of European cooking, cocktails and warm hospitality to the scenic coastal town. For the latest restaurant news and reviews, sign up to our food and drink newsletter here

Built in the 1920s as a private residence, Holm House became a boutique hotel in 2004. Known for its spa, sea-facing rooms and elegant gardens, the property welcomed stars like Harry Styles, Daniel Craig and Tyson Fury.

However, like many in the hospitality sector, the business struggled post-pandemic and closed in March 2024, citing rising costs and changing market conditions. The building is cherished locally and has been listed as a "country treasure" in Penarth's conservation area appraisal.
Explaining why they have decided to open a new restaurant there, Daf Andrews said: "Penarth felt like the natural next step - a vibrant town with a strong sense of community and an appetite for quality hospitality.
"Holm House is a beautiful building, and the rooms, spa and garden offer something truly special. The private dining space and outdoor areas give us more flexibility to host everything from intimate dinners to events and celebrations, while staying true to the Silures experience."
The Penarth site will include a 50-seat main restaurant, a bar area with space for 25, a private dining room for 22 and garden terrace that can seat up to 50 or host up to 100 standing guests.

They say the menu is set to boast popular dishes such as XL jumbo king prawns with chilli and mango salsa, miso-glazed cauliflower with romesco and pistachio, a specialised wagyu burger and their Baked Alaska with white rum - prepared tableside.
There will be weekly specials with a weekday set menu, which is served Wednesday to Saturday, 12 to 3pm and 5pm to 6pm.
The new venue hopes to bring the warm hospitality and great food, which it's Roath restaurant has become famed for
