Sommerin formerly ran the Michelin starred The Crown and Whitebrook in Monmouthshire.[1]
The Edwardian Beachcliff building[2] was purposely re-built to become Restaurant James Sommerin by Richard Hayward Properties.[citation needed] It was located off the Penarth esplanade, looking out across the Severn Estuary.[3] In 2016 nine 'boutique' bedrooms were added to the restaurant, to accommodate diners travelling from afar.[2]
The seafront restaurant closed in the summer of 2020 following months of COVID-19 lockdowns without financial assistance.[4] Sommerin had planned to start a delivery service, but aborted the plan and instead made 1,000 meals for NHS staff with the food stocks.[5] A year after the closure, Sommerin started a new venture called Home, in Stanwell Road, Penarth.[4]
