Gem42

About

Gem42 is a modern fine‑dining restaurant in Newport that marries culinary tradition with sustainable innovation. From the moment guests step in, they are greeted by the aromas of locally sourced ingredients and the gentle hum of a greenhouse‑grown kitchen garden that supplies fresh herbs and vegetables. The menu evolves with the seasons, offering a surprise tasting experience that celebrates both Welsh accents and Italian techniques, complemented by thoughtfully paired wines and kombucha. For those seeking a more relaxed experience, Gem42 offers an elegant afternoon tea scattered across Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. The selection features classic finger sandwiches, warm scones, sweet pastries, and a selection of premium teas, all crafted from fresh, locally sourced produce. The chef’s commitment to zero‑waste and circular economy principles—ranging from compostable packaging to recycled kitchen garden compost—creates a dining narrative that guests can appreciate and participate in. Whether it’s a special anniversary, a family gathering, or a private tasting, Gem42’s reservation‑only policy ensures impeccable service, with a deposit of £25 per person and a generous 2‑hour visit span allowing guests to savor each course fully, experience the story behind the dishes, and relax in a sustainably designed space that feels as welcoming as it is refined.
