The restaurant is committed to fine produce. Local meat and game via our vigilant butcher. And fish and shellfish straight from the coast. It’s Welsh produce as much as possible, but the menu still demands more, be it diver-caught scallops from Scotland, Somerset smoked eel, Buffalo Mozzarella from Naples, Wyndham Farm chicken.

The dishes on offer are created daily to reflect what’s in season, and what’s really good to eat. We keep the menus shown here as up-to-date as we can, and they reflect pretty much what we’re cooking now.

DINNER

Each night we offer a dinner menu at £95 per person for three courses. Start with canapés and a small appetiser, then a choice of starters and main courses. Follow with a wide range of desserts or cheeses from Neal’s Yard Dairy. Two courses may be taken for £80. Two starters: £65.

CHEDDAR, KEEN’S
Classic traditional West Country Cheddar made by the Keen family at Moorhays near Wincanton in Somerset. Unpasteurised cow’s milk, traditional rennet.

DURRUS
Smooth, silky, earthy washed-rind cheese made by Jeffa Gill in the Sheep’s Head peninsula in County Cork, Ireland. Unpasteurised cow’s milk, traditional rennet.

CORWYDD CAERPHILLY
Distinct flavours run through this cheese. Its springy, citric, lactic center is oozy, mushroomy under the rind, with musty earthiness in the rind itself. Made by Todd Trethowan near Lampeter in Mid Wales. Unpasteurised cow’s milk, traditional rennet.

STICHELTON
Cool and buttery with underling nutty toasty notes with a spicy element in the blue mould. Made by Joe Schneider at Collingthwaite Farm, Welbeck Estate, Nottinghamshire. Unpasteurised organic cow’s milk, traditional rennet.

BARON BIGOD
A raw milk cheese made with traditional rennet by Johnie and Dulcie Crickmore in Bungay, Suffolk. The milk comes from their own herd of Montbelliard cows and the cheese is inspired by Brie de Meaux.

SINODUN HILL
A lactic goat’s pyramid with a light, almost-whipped texture. It is made by a young couple, Rachel Yarrow and Fraser Norton, at the Nettlebed Estate in Oxfordshire. Unpasteurised goat’s milk, vegetarian coagulant.

THE WINE LIST

Previous ‘Good Food Guide Wine List of the Year’

Tyddyn Llan boasts an award-winning wine list featuring wines from most of the leading wine producing countries. Many are sourced from little-known small wineries where the proprietor is actively involved in the wine making. Our list evolves as we taste new wines and searching out the best balance between interest, quality and cost.

The list is in your room for you to peruse. If you you’d like to order your wines in advance of dinner, this helps us, thank you. Please call 215 from your room.

A good variety of wines are served by the glass and carafe, and there’s a selection of half bottles. Food and wine matching is always fun and with our tasting menu we offer wines chosen for each course, for a supplement.

Our list is backed by a broad range of apéritifs and our digestif list featuring an excellent range of Cognacs, Armagnacs, Calvados and Whiskies as well as Ports, Eaux-de-vie, Marcs and Liqueurs. We try to keep the mark-ups reasonable.
