CHANGING TIMES
Our restaurant with rooms has new owners. And a new culinary team. And the dining areas are all newly refurbished too.
TYDDYN LLAN'S NEW FACES
Gareth gained acclaim at nearby Palé Hall, when he opened the restaurant there with Michael Caines. During his seven years there, Gareth achieved and maintained three AA rosettes and was awarded the first Michelin Green Star in Wales. He has already shown his desire to support local producers and source quality ingredients, including the use of the kitchen garden when possible. This ethos and focus on sustainability will shine through the new cooking style at Tyddyn LLan, creating an exceptional and truly Welsh dining experience.
Joshua Morris, Welsh Chef of the Year 2024, is Gareth’s second in command, with Robin Evans also joining the senior kitchen team as Head Pastry Chef. To complete this experienced team, Gareth’s partner Maria, joins our current restaurant manager Torin, as front-of-house manager.
The team Gareth has brought to our ‘restaurant with rooms’, are well used to working together. They have experience and expertise gained from some of the UK’s finest starred establishments.
The menus have seen a significant change as dinner is now only tasting menus, to reduce waste and maintain quality. There is a choice of six or ten courses, including coffee and petits fours. The Sunday lunch menu is a more traditional, but equally delicious, three course offering. Our Dining Page has menus to entice you and give a flavour of what is on offer.
And now there’s a newly refurbished restaurant to add to the changes.

How about a bit of relaxation in the run-up to Christmas, or between Christmas and New Year? Come and enjoy Gareth’s menus with a special deal available to Sunday 29 December. Spend the night in one of our comfortable rooms. Then set yourself up with the signature breakfast.

SOME REVIEWS
Below we show customer opinion of recent months from Trip Advisor, Google My Business and by email.
I wanted to write to thank you for your hospitality during our stay in September.
My husband and I stayed at Tyddyn Llan twice pre-Covid and had wanted to bring my parents. Covid intervened but we managed finally to arrange a stay in September for my mother’s birthday. We knew that you had just changed hands (and of course the hospitality sector has difficulties as a whole) and were prepared to experience some teething issues – but our stay was superb from start to finish.
The food of course was magnificent. I’ve been lucky to eat in Michelin starred and other highly rated restaurants throughout the UK and I’ve seldom eaten as well, and never better, than we did during our stay. But what really makes Tyddyn Llan stand out is the welcome and the service, which is friendly, knowledgeable, never overbearing and makes guests feel like they are at home (but with a truly superb dinner and breakfast).
A particular thank you also to your gardener who recommended that we visit Plas Brondarw, which we had never heard of and was lovely (and also where the sun was).

A wonderful evening for two Absolutely wonderful! Food sublime, staff excellent, surroundings exceptional. Would highly recommend. This place We are certain, will soon gain a Michelain star! 
Excellent all round Superb in every aspect! New owners have put their stamp on this excellent restaurant with rooms and have a rolling plan of improvements and refurbishment. Certainly deserve our support. Can't wait to return. Particularly impressed with the breakfast experience. 
Delicious from beginning to end This was our third visit since Gareth and the new team took over . We have thoroughly enjoyed each visit but each time it gets better and better. We started with a selection of delicious snacks, so creative and an excellent start to what was to follow . The 6 course menu was well balanced , creative, fresh and mouth watering delicious. The wine pairing was excellent value, fun and beautifully served by the lovely and excellent front of house Emily . The whole team are a delight. Thanks to you all. 
Wow! Amazing food Food is outstanding! Went for the 10 course with supporting wines. Favourite course was the scallop, simply outstanding. Dining room has been renovated to provide a lovely, comfortable atmosphere. Staff were very knowledgeable on food and wines which enhanced the whole experience. Will definitely have revisit. 
Outstanding food and friendly service. The hotel and restaurant have recently come under new management. We stayed the night and had a very comfortable room with an en-suite bathroom. The dinner and breakfast were both outstanding. We had the 10 course taster menu. Every course was delicious and the portion sizes just right. The service was also excellent. The hotel restaurant is situated in beautiful countryside and has attractive gardens. The dining room has recently been renovated. 
Innovative and delicious food in a lovely place We have been going to Tyddyn Llan for several years and had always enjoyed excellent food and service. Since Bryan & Susan’s retirement in July we have been back twice and , while the menu has changed significantly, the high standards continue.The 6 course tasting menu was innovative and delicious as were the accompanying wines and service was professional & friendly. The newly renovated dining room is light & comfortable.
Look forward to our next visit!
