Good Food Guide Rating
World Class. Once derided for its lack of food culture, Britain today boasts one of the most eclectic dining scenes in the world. At the very top a few extraordinary chefs are having a seismic impact on British dining. These astonishing restaurants are redefining the profession, pushing the boundaries of what eating in a restaurant is all about. It's the stuff of bucket lists, the vision and talent drawing not just national but international recognition - especially from chefs world-wide. In any given year, there will only be a few chefs and restaurants operating at this level. The best of the best.

Our review of Ynyshir (January 2019)
It's fair to say the rise of Ynyshir in recent years has been fairly meteoric, at least as far as the major food guides go. Following a precious Michelin star in 2014, the AA rosettes have since increased from three, to four, to five and the Good Food Guide score has increased from seven, to eight, to nine. In their eyes at least, the food Chef Patron Gareth Ward is knocking out is some of the very best in the county. I was very much looking forward to giving it a try and I made the three hour (each way) trip with my wife for lunch on a cold January Saturday, to celebrate her birthday....
