SKETTY: Michelin Guide restaurant Slice to close after 13 years as owners plan new concept

One of Swansea’s most celebrated restaurants is to close — with the team behind Slice in Sketty announcing their final day of service will be 25 October.

The 16-cover restaurant on Eversley Road — a fixture of both the Michelin Guide and the Good Food Guide since opening in 2014 — is run by chefs Chris Harris and Adam Bannister, who have cooked together since college, with Lyndsay running front of house.

“After 13 wonderful years in business at Slice, we have come to the difficult decision that it is time for a change,” the team said in a statement on social media.

The restaurant will operate as normal until 8 August, before taking its annual two-week break — and when it reopens on 27 August, it will offer its tasting menu exclusively for dinner service through to closure.

“This change is necessary as Chris will be undergoing heart surgery, which will leave Adam and Lyndsay managing the restaurant,” the statement said. “We feel this is the best way to ensure we can continue providing the consistency and quality that our guests have come to expect.

“Following this period, we have decided that the time has come to close the doors of Slice. Our final day of service will be 25 October 2026.”

The pair’s story stretches back to their training together on the hospitality and catering programme at Gower College Swansea‘s Tycoch campus — and both went on to work under Michelin-starred chef Stephen Terry at the renowned Hardwick in Abergavenny.

The two then made a deliberate decision to part ways to build their own experience — Mr Harris taking roles in high-end, premium kitchens around the UK to absorb different culinary styles, while Mr Bannister completed a stint at Lancashire’s Northcote under Great British Menu champion Lisa Allen — before reuniting in Swansea to buy Slice.

Mr Bannister brought the tiny restaurant to a national audience when he won the Welsh title on the BBC’s Great British Menu in 2015 — returning to represent Wales in 2016.

The restaurant — true to its name, a wedge-shaped room seating just 16 diners above the kitchen — has long punched above its weight, with Michelin inspectors highlighting the personal welcome from the chef-owners among its charms.

“We have loved every moment of our journey at Slice,” the team said. “It has been a privilege to meet so many wonderful people, become part of this amazing community, and share countless memories with you over the years. We are incredibly grateful for the support and loyalty you have shown us throughout our time here.”

But the closure will not be the end of the story — with the team revealing they are already working on what comes next.

“While this news may be sad, there is also some excitement for the future. We are currently working on a new concept that will allow us to spend more time with our boys while still remaining part of this fantastic community,” they said.

“We look forward to sharing more details with you in the coming months. Thank you for being part of our Slice story.”

For diners wanting a last visit, the timeline is this: the full offer runs until 8 August, tasting-menu dinners return from 27 August — and the doors close for the final time on 25 October.
