About:
Chapters is a modern, sustainable restaurant in the heart of Hay-on-Wye, just on the edge of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. With a hyper-local, seasonal ethos, the kitchen is led by Chef Mark McHugo, who crafts bold, thoughtful menus rooted in foraging, fermentation and traditional preservation. Every dish tells a story of the local landscape, producers and changing seasons.

What they offer:

• Innovative, seasonal tasting menus with a focus on sustainability

• Sourcing from small-scale local growers, farmers, and foragers

• Techniques including fermentation, pickling, curing, and smoking

• Vegetarian-friendly options and a frequently changing menu

• Intimate setting ideal for food lovers and slow dining experiences

• Located in the centre of Hay-on-Wye, perfect for combining with the town’s literary and market heritage

Why we love them:
Chapters is the kind of place that feels rooted in its environment—thoughtful food, created with care and curiosity. It’s a quiet revolution in sustainable dining, and a real treat for anyone who loves flavour, story, and substance on the same plate.
