A Memorable Night at the Hyb Kitchen: Our First Supper Club On Saturday, June 29th, the Hyb Kitchen in the heart of Aberdare hosted an unforgettable evening for 25 guests: our inaugural Supper Club event! Chef Danny and his talented kitchen team curated a unique 8-course menu that showcased their culinary creativity and passion for top-notch ingredients. Guests indulged in intriguingly named dishes such as Mock-A-Leekie, Jammy Dodger, Fish n’ Chip, Bold Beefy, and Orange and Cointreau. The evening was a celebration of slow dining, offering plenty of time to savour drinks and engage in great conversation between the delicious courses. The positive feedback we received in the days following the event was truly gratifying. One guest shared their experience via email: “The food was delicious, the chef did a great job; he is very skilled in what he does. Thank you to the serving staff, I thought it was all very organized and well thought out. We four would certainly attend another Supper Club event.” Another diner commented, “What a delightful evening, fab company and even better food. We were well impressed, thank you.” A third guest echoed these sentiments: “What a fabulous night. We thoroughly enjoyed the food presented by the chef, as did everyone who attended the Supper Club. A big thank you to the staff at the Hyb, Cynon Linc for a fantastic night.” Riding on the success of our first Supper Club, Chef Danny is already planning the next menu. This time, the theme will be the Olympics, featuring flavors from every continent! Keep an eye on our social media channels for more details. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made our first Supper Club a night to remember. We look forward to welcoming you to many more!

Cynon Linc is proud to feature an accessible changing room Did you know that Cynon Linc features a well-equipped accessible changing area? It is suitable for those who struggle to access standard toilet facilities. These would include independent wheelchair users, people with mobility impairments, those waiting for adaptations to their homes, people with bladder or bowel conditions, or indeed anyone with a physical disability that requires it. The changing area has been thoughtfully designed and we have been delighted to receive some wonderful feedback. One user had been recently discharged from a spinal rehabilitation and wrote about their experiences at Cynon Linc. “I applied for a disabled facilities grant to adapt my house. I’m a full-time wheelchair user therefore need facilities to enable me to carry out day to day functions and activities. Whilst waiting for grant approval and then works to begin I was faced with the issue of accessing shower facilities. After a few Google searches and speaking to people, we discovered Cynon Linc in Aberdare. Cynon Linc has a full accessible wet room that I was able to use for several months. The facility is totally inclusive, and my visits enabled me to be independent. The wet room was fully adapted to include shower bed, full track hoist and large enough for me, my wheelchair and helpers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visits to Cynon Linc and using the wet room, I just hope others will benefit from the facilities on offer.” The changing area has been deigned to be as inclusive as possible and is big enough for the user and up to two assistants. It includes a range of equipment including a ceiling track hoist system (slings not provided), height adjustable and adult-sized changing bench, Peninsular Toilet, privacy screen, shower / wet room facility, large waste disposal bin, washbasin and hairdryer. Our accessible changing area can be accessed via the reception team or booked in advance by contacting: enquiries@cynonlinc.org.uk or 01685 705860.
