Restaurant & Bar
Our Head Chef, Grant Mulholland has built a strong reputation for superb cuisine, freshly prepared with informal flair and generosity. He's been awarded not only an AA Rosette for "culinary excellence", but also an AA Egg-cup for "outstanding breakfasts". We also take our health and safety responsibilities seriously, so we’re proud to be able to say that we hold a Silver Standard Welsh Food Hygiene Award. We’re one of very few inns throughout the country to achieve this.
As you would expect from a heavyweight kitchen team such as ours, all our food is prepared from fresh ingredients on the premises: we don't use frozen stuff from a catering wholesaler. We do, however, buy in the steak and ale pies and chicken and gammon pies, both specially made for us by Helen McArdle of Chirk - so good we can't beat them.
The menu changes constantly, although certain "old favourites" - such as proper gammon egg and chips (Hand cut, of course), or slow braised shoulder of Welsh lamb, both with a rich gravy - just won't go away. There's always at least one vegetarian option, as well as fish as fresh as you fancy and with a bit of notice Grant, together with Second Chef Eifion Edwards and Commis Chef John Peace, is happy to cater for special diets.
You don't have to come for a meal: you're welcome to drop in for coffee or tea or a pint of foaming ale!
