"The Griffin is certainly one of
the least pretentious hotels I have ever
been to. And easily one of the loveliest."
Melinda Stevens
The Times
"You know there's something special
about the place the minute you crest the hill"
Cath Urquhart, Travel Editor
Sunday Times
"The Griffin at Felin Fach ...
Exceptional anywhere in Europe - in Wales, it was as damn near miraculous
as the Angel of Mons"

boiled eggs and toast you make yourself on the Aga – the best

"Gastropub":
a look at the phenomenon in the
world of pub cuisine. Travelling all around the UK she hunts
out these newly born culinary gems, more often than not nestling
in some of the most beautiful countryside on offer. From
novice chefs to Michelin star winners, they all display innovation,
pride and a love of local produce. Each part of the country
is explored with the best pubs detailed alongside a selection
of their most popular recipes. And if you miss a table there
you will find more to choose from in "the best of the rest" which
concludes each section. Traditional shepherd pies and rib-eye
steaks mix with the more exotic Conwy mussels with coconut
milk and coriander and roast partridge with Vietnamese cabbage
salad. English puddings like crumble and sticky toffee pudding
feature on menus alongside the inspirationally mouth-watering
choices of toffee apple ice cream and geranium-scented panna
cotta with red gooseberries... Join in the celebration of
these top pubs specializing in good old-fashioned comfort
food and learn the inspiration behind them as divulged by
their owners. Lavish photographs from Jason Lowe complement
Diana's text, giving a wonderful picture of warmth and welcome
in each featured hostelry. Forget a pint of lager and a packet
of crisps and return to that long lost art of warm hospitality
now enjoying such a renaissance in gastropubs up and down
the country. |
