Eating At The Felin Fach Griffin

 

"The Griffin at Felin Fach ...

Exceptional anywhere in Europe... in Wales, it was as damn near miraculous as the Angel of Mons."

Lunch


    We have always thought lunch potentially the most rewarding of all eating times. Breakfast may be the most important, supper the most theatrical, and tea the most reassuring but it is lunch that is the fulcrum of any day.

    Our “Simple Things, Done Well” are our old classics, honest food from local ingredients, and perfect for those yearning for a brief interlude from the day’s business or about to negotiate one of the surrounding peaks. Our Set Lunch represents fabulous value for those looking for a proper, extended lunch and a glass of two of wine. The à la Carte options provide an opportunity to prove that a good lunch can outdo a good supper any day.
