The Felin Fach Griffin

This much-feted country inn exemplifies owner Charles Inkin's passion for 'the simple things in life done well'. The ethos is applied to food, wines, beers and bedrooms. In the bar are deep leather sofas surrounding a newspaper-strewn table and open fire. Food is served in rambling bare-floored rooms where original features, including an Aga, are teamed with tasteful modern touches. Set on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, the Griffin draws much of its ingredients from the surrounding area, while the garden keeps up a steady flow of organic produce. The freshest seafood could feature as a rich Mediterranean fish soup or wild sea bass with chervil root purée, cep marmalade and red wine butter. Other choices might include gnocchi with wild mushrooms, pumpkin and parmesan, or local Welsh venison with roasted parsnip, parsnip pureé and dauphinoise potato. Finish with superb Welsh cheeses, or vanilla crème brûlée with warm rum grog.
