High-end Cardiff wine bar and steakhouse Pier 64 has closed again after the company behind it ceased trading.
It's the second time the upscale eatery has closed its doors in the last year or so, with 21 members of staff being made redundant.
Its previous owners Pier 64 Limited went into liquidation back in January 2019 - former Wales footballer Craig Bellamy was the firm's director, having bought the property in Penarth Marina for £1,324,430 in 2014.
The waterfront restaurant then reopened later that same month under new ownership, but now that company, Sansemea (UK) Limited, has announced it has also started insolvency proceedings.
Business recovery specialists Begbies Traynor have been brought in to oversee the liquidation.
Huw Powell, partner at the practice, said: "In a difficult climate for leisure businesses, with high levels of competition, the company has ceased trading following losses suffered during a challenging first year."
Pier 64, which first opened in 2011, was originally the brainchild of Francis Dupuy, the Cardiff restaurateur behind some of the city's most acclaimed dining spots, such as the now defunct Le Gallois in Pontcanna and Chez Francis on Cowbridge Road.
