| Welcome
to
The Felin Fach Griffin
I like to think that
everyone’s time at The Felin
Fach Griffin is as relaxing as staying in someone’s
home. The ethos behind EatDrinkSleep is the simple things
in life done well. The rooms are chintz-free with white bed
linen and beds so comfortable that a number of our guests
have offered to buy them.
As a trained chef I am passionate about using seasonal and
where possible, local ingredients. The Felin Fach Griffin's
head chef, Simon Potter, shares my belief and produces simple
but unfussy food. Our principles continue to be recognised
by independent guides, journalists (most recently Jay Rayner)
and, most importantly, our customers. Our kitchen garden
was the first at a restaurant to achieve Organic status,
at the head of what is now rightly a national obsession to
produce vegetables for our own use.
The Griffin is hosted by Julie
Bell, with whom I once worked when I was a young tyro chef
in Northern Ireland. She
used to boss me around then and still does so now. She
looks after a terrific team and has put together a wine list
that we think matches any outside of London and the big cities.
We also now own the Gurnard’s
Head near St. Ives,
Land’s End and the Minack Theatre in west Cornwall. We
think ourselves very lucky to have found such a great building
in one of the most beautiful and underpopulated parts of
Britain and it has rapidly become a much sought after retreat
for those looking for a slower pace of life. Please do come
and eat,
drink and sleep with
us there.
If not, we hope that you will anyway be able to join us
to eat, drink or sleep at the Felin Fach Griffin soon.
