Down in Wales’ far southwest corner, Wolfscastle Country Hotel may be best known as a boutique wedding venue, but it also harbours this six-table restaurant that’s worth a visit in its own right. The concise à la carte is influenced by the seasons and locality, with the kitchen team pouring obvious care and understanding into each dish. The pistachio soufflé, for example, is beautifully risen and nicely balanced by chocolate ice cream and sharp raspberry purée. Attentive service is delivered with palpable pride.
WebsiteOriginally built in 1806 as a working windmill, the Twr y Felin Hotel features contemporary artwork and is decorated in an understated, modern style. Its restaurant, Blas, is named after the Welsh word for 'taste’ and offers appealing menus which showcase seasonal Pembrokeshire produce from Solva crab and lobster to Welsh lamb rump in pared-back, modern dishes often cooked over the grill. On Sundays, expect a traditional roast dinner. The friendly team run the place with pride, enhancing the overall experience.
WebsiteGrove of Narberth, one of the finest country house hotels in Wales, is the setting for the Fernery, a nature-inspired restaurant that brings the outside in. It’s a proudly Welsh place, with a tasting menu (available in two lengths) that showcases the best produce the locale has to offer, including ingredients from their own gardens. Dishes come with incredible levels of detail that belie the understated, somewhat cryptic menu descriptions such as 'Walled Garden'. The superb service ensures your experience unfolds flawlessly.

WebsiteFolklore, foraging and flavour guide your visit to this proudly Welsh restaurant. Occupying a lovingly converted former bank, there is a real sense of warmth to the place, with the passionate chef recounting stories while serving and bringing round ‘top ups’ of sauces and ingredients as you dine. From expertly foraged produce to Salt Marsh mutton, local ingredients bring with them a great burst of flavour in dishes like slow-cooked duck egg yolk with a yolk and fungi sauce. Extend your experience by joining one of their occasional foraging days.
WebsiteMeaning ‘seashore’ in Welsh, Lan y Môr is an apt name for this stunningly located beachside restaurant; grab a table on the enclosed terrace to make the most of the view. The menu offers something for everyone, whether you’re after ‘Sea’, ‘Pasture’ or ‘Land’, but in this location your eye is sure to be drawn to the oysters, ‘frockles’ (fried cockles) and fish of the day. Ensure you save some room for pudding, especially if the terrific chocolate and cherry cake is on the menu.
