St Davids [without apostrophe] Cathedral is a fantastic place. Very very old, slightly wonky everywhere, and showing the signs of being twice smashed: once by Henry VIII’s lot and then again by Cromwell’s soldiers. We wanted a cuppa and were directed through numerous huge wooden doors to a spanking new refectory, where we were instantly greeted by three smiling people. That’s amazing for a start. The refectory is architect designed (my equivalent of ‘pan-fried) - wood and space and fresh air. The tea, cake coffee etc. were all hot and/or delicious and we sat upstairs and looked down into the newly renovated cloisters. Only thing wrong was the confusing signage. At one point as I came through a big door only to find myself back in the Treasury where I’d started I began to fear that I would not escape with my life or ever see my cat again. Easy to fix this signage/wayfinding business, chaps! The proper-food menu was also recommended to me by a friend and if it is as good as the cuppa was, then you should be in for a treat at lunch or dinner. Well done St Davids.
