Seasonal food, cooked well

Welsh produce, cooked with care, and a Sunday roast that books out by Wednesday.

I · How we cook

Welsh produce. Long thought.

Meat from Cashells, our local butcher, fish landed off the Welsh coastline, and fresh fruit and vegetables from a local supplier just outside Crickhowell — picked the day before they reach the plate.

The menu changes regularly with the seasons, so every dish gets the kitchen's full attention.

The Sunday Roast Sharing Platter

Three meats every Sunday, served from noon to four. Yorkshires, proper gravy, and a pudding list that gets written on the morning. Pictured is our Sunday roast sharing platter. Booking is essential — we always sell out.

IV · The Bar

Lagers, stout & cider, no theatre

Our bar is stocked with a selection of local Welsh options including — the amazing Barti rum, Brecon Gin, Penderyn Whisky, Aber Falls Gins, Felinfoel and Hurns brewery ales, and many more…

Also, there are six taps on the bar — Guinness, Peroni, Grolsch, Meantime, Asahi and Cornish Orchards cider — kept properly cold and properly poured.

Around thirty bottles on the wine list, weighted to France and the Loire. A wall of whiskies, gins and rums behind the bar. Cocktails done properly, a decent zero-alcohol selection, and coffee from a small roaster in Abergavenny.

Bar open every day, 8am – 11pm.

V · The Garden

The reason people come back

It runs a depth of over 100m, accessed past the old stone wall in the courtyard and with views of Table Mountain. Room for 150 without it ever feeling busy. Lunch from noon, drinks until late, the kitchen comes out into the garden in summer.
