With an impressive portfolio of restaurants, bars and even a newly opened wine cellar, the Martinez family are a well-known and respected part of the Welsh hospitality industry.
They prioritise exceptional customer service, along with serving the finest, locally sourced produce across all their restaurants. Based across the South Wales area, these include, Le Monde, El Puerto, La Marina, El Prado and the Miskin Arms.
El Puerto and La Marina at The Old Custom House
Constructed in 1865, The Old Custom House is a beautiful and historical building, originally used to cater for Penarth’s flourishing shipping trade.
When the Martinez family bought The Old Custom House in 2000 it was in need of some major refurbishment. The family revived the building and added some European flare, turning The Old Custom House into the home of the hugely popular El Puerto and La Marina restaurants.
Le Monde
First opened in 1985, Le Monde spent several years being run by a different organisation before being passed back to the Martinez family in 2019.
After undergoing a big refurbishment, the restaurant is now a thriving dining location in the Welsh capital.
Matisse
Matisse, which was added to the Martinez portfolio in 2023, is an exclusive rooftop bar and lounge offering the finest champagne, wines and cocktails in a luxurious and relaxing environment.
El Prado
Located in Laleston, west of Bridgend town centre, El Prado, like its sister restaurants, has a brasserie concept. The venue was opened in the early 90s.
Miskin Arms
Under 30 minutes from Cardiff centre, the village of Miskin is the picturesque home to the Miskin Arms.
EPOS Systems are delighted to assist the Martinez family with their extensive EPOS requirements. Like them, EPOS Systems is family run, so understands the passion that drives their business.
EPOS Systems’ team installed point of sale systems and cloud back-office software across many of their sites. This allowed their management to gain access to business data for all of their venues remotely. Whether it be stock, sales or staff, the centralised information assists with the smooth running of the Martinez family operation.
Like all clients, the Martinez family have also benefitted from EPOS Systems’ knowledge and support, which has been commended by their Managing Director, Tanny Martinez.
“EPOS Systems and Tim have transformed our life in the Martinez group. The level of customer service received from the team is unparalleled and without their support we could have never grown the business to what it is today.”
