A café in Aberthin near Cowbridge has applied for a premises licence as it plans to expand with a new bistro.

The application was made on May 10 to the Vale of Glamorgan's Licensing Department and has requested for opening times to be 10:00 – 22:30.

Chris Birch, the director at Birch Group which owns the café, said: "Fredwell is expanding to include a bistro and small bakery. The bistro will sell a range of local and European cuisine.

"To accompany this new menu, we will be adding a select range of local and European ciders, gins, ales, and wines.

"We are expecting to launch their bistro in June 2022."

Fredwell Café & Pâtisserie is a French venue that sits within more than 100 acres of farmland.

An art exhibition by local artist, Carol Kibble, is currently displayed at the venue until the end of May.
