“What’s on today’s menu? How about succulent mountain lamb, tender Welsh Black Beef, local fish and game, home-baked bread, seasonal fruit and veg? Or shopping for the right stuff – slow food, real food, wholesome food – at local produce stalls and farmers markets? It’s safe to say that you’ll most probably have travelled further than the food we serve."
Foodie Firsts
