Food and drink are at the heart of our warm Welsh hospitality, which is why we have been featured in The Times and The Telegraph as one of the best places to eat and stay in the UK. Our passionate chef, Grant Williams, offers a menu to suit every special occasion.
From delighting buffet lunches for the family to something more exquisite for an anniversary dinner or a birthday lunch. Every plate we serve is seasonally prepared using locally sourced ingredients from the Ceiriog Valley with the help of our food and drink partners including Dolwen Welsh Lamb and Beef, Big Hand Brewery, Tanners (wine suppliers) and Harlech (food suppliers).
The bar is well stocked with refreshingly good local cask ales and home-made gins as well as an unrivalled wine list.
