Winter wonderland

Having spoken with various locals, we have come to the conclusion that it has been nearly 42 years since we have seen snow like this - I appreciate that most of the country is also in the grip of the conditions and that with christmas around the corner, the disruption is not all that welcome - still, we plough on and make the best of it.

New Seasonal Dining Room Menu

As the season changes, so does the availability of produce and so must our change menu. This year, we have sourced quality Venison from the Cefyn Estate in Denbighshire as well as Rhug Farm Organic Chicken, reportedly in common with "Le Manoir" but without the journey! These new additions accompany last years newcomers of local wild Mallard, rabbit, Partridge and Pheasant.
