The tiny Welsh pizzeria approved by Gavin & Stacey’s James Corden with a surprise Larry Lamb link has become a favourite spot in Barry, as reported by Wales Online. James Corden, after a day of filming for the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special, visited the Front Room in Barry for some pizza and was pleasantly surprised. The Front Room, situated at The Pumphouse on Hood Road, has garnered success in Barry since its establishment just five months ago.
Owned by David Wigley, an experienced chef with a background in Michelin restaurants and brands like Marks & Spencer, the pizzeria and cafe have quickly gained a loyal following in the area. The Gavin & Stacey cast members, who recently visited the establishment, including Ruth Jones and James Corden, were impressed by the pizza served there.
During the filming of the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special, the Front Room served as a green room for the cast and crew. David and his team provided pizza to everyone on the set, leading to positive feedback from the cast. James Corden, who owns a pizza restaurant in Italy, showed a keen interest in the Front Room’s pizza-making process.
Not only did James Corden enjoy the pizza, but fellow Gavin & Stacey cast member Larry Lamb also paid a visit to the pizzeria. Having a unique connection with the Front Room through his son George Lamb, co-founder of Wildfarmed, Larry Lamb appreciated the ethical ingredients used in the pizza.
Front Room prides itself on offering “no rules pizza,” using high-quality ingredients and unique toppings. In addition to their specialty pizzas, the cafe opens early to serve breakfast, coffee, and operates a bar for customers’ convenience. The positive response from the community has been overwhelming for the Front Room, with a growing number of regular customers.
The anticipation surrounding the return of Gavin & Stacey to Barry for filming the final episode has created a buzz in the town. Fans have eagerly awaited sightings of the cast and crew in the area. This exciting development has boosted the atmosphere in Barry, promising more excitement with the upcoming Christmas special.
As the Front Room continues to attract attention through its delicious offerings and celebrity visits, the pizzeria remains a popular spot for locals and visitors alike in Barry.
