Dishes Prestatyn: Modern British Small Plates with a Michelin Recommendation

Dishes in Prestatyn

On Prestatyn’s High Street, Dishes has carved out a space for modern, social dining that feels both relaxed and refined. The restaurant is part of the Open Restaurant Group, led by acclaimed local chef Andrew Sheridan, who returned to his native North Wales to open the venue alongside partners Sam and Emma Morgan. Day-to-day, the kitchen is helmed by chef Jake Smith, and together they’ve built a menu that celebrates the region’s ingredients with a contemporary, creative touch.

The concept is built around small plates designed for sharing—or for mixing and matching at your own pace. Diners can sit at counter-style seating or high-top tables, and the team’s interactive, engaging service keeps the atmosphere approachable. The menu changes regularly, drawing on Welsh produce: local oysters, seasonal vegetables, and standout dishes like the Dill Cured Salmon with Laminated Bread, or a Chateaubriand Steak with peppercorn sauce for the table. On Sundays, the format shifts to sharing platters of roast dinners, a special nod to the British tradition.

This commitment to quality and sense of place has earned Dishes a Michelin Recommendation, a fitting recognition for a restaurant that brings a distinctly modern, social energy to North Wales. The result is a dining room where the food feels personal, the ingredients are local, and the experience is genuinely engaging—a place that feels like a genuine homecoming for the chefs and a discovery for everyone else.
