Top 20 place for Welsh gastro pub




29 February 2012

The Felin Fach Griffin near Brecon has been voted no 18 in the top 50 pubs in the UK at the annual Top 50 Gastropub awards, making it a must do stop for something to eat on your UK short break in Wales.

Pubs are voted for by 500 pub food experts including pub owners, chefs, restaurant critics and food writers.

Julie Bell, hostess at the Griffin said: “To be voted by the industry into the top 20 pubs in which to buy food in the whole of the UK is a real boon for our team. They should be very proud of themselves, particularly as it is about the sixth year in a row that they’ve made this list.”

Co-owner Edmund Inkin said: “To have The Griffin’s sister inn, The Gurnard’s Head in Cornwall, only just outside the Top 10 at Number 11 is also good news for this part of the world.

“We very much consider Brecon our hub and success in Cornwall helps secure the employment to run our back office up here in Wales as well as being a brilliant way of advertising this part of the world.”

The Felin Fach Griffin is a dining pub with rooms nestling near the book town of Hay-on-Wye between The Black Mountains and The Brecon Beacons, not far from the market towns of Abergavenny and Crickhowell, a popular choice for those wanting to take a UK short break.

Sleep in the most comfortable beds, eat simple, but well executed and delicious food.  Beers, wine, sherries and fruit juices: all chosen because we love them.  We support our local community, source our produce with sustainability in mind, and set our prices for our regular customers, not the incoming tourists.

We have always loved this part of Wales and over the past ten years we have come to love this building. We hope you will too.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
