In 2014, Cardiff's largest shopping arcade the St David's Centre played host to a flagship of innovation: the take-away tea stand. No more would mediocre tea from the identikit coffee chains plague Cardiff's high streets. Using a variety of the artisan teas, we used free samples to demonstrate the teas on offer, and would sell take-away teas to our customers.

A low hubbub of chatter resounded through the bar. "SERVICE!" came the cry from the kitchen. Table 3's order was ready, and only I could bring it to them. Well, Saki was pouring a pint for the new arrivals (fresh off the coach from Torquay) and Neil was busy at reception, and it's not as if the burger and fries were to walk out of the kitchen.
