Gwesty’r Emlyn Hotel, in Newcastle Emlyn is delighted to have received news that it has been awarded an AA Rosette for fine dining, for a second year running in its “Bwyty’r Bont” Restaurant.

Only 10% of restaurants nationwide receive this prestigious award, which is based on an assessment of the entire meal including ancillary items, from one or more unplanned visits by an AA Inspector. It is not influenced by other guides, restaurants or hotels which makes receiving this award a true credit.

Keith Eaton, general manager at the hotel says “We are lucky to have a large number of exceptionally hard working staff and a fantastic team in the kitchen. We also have two junior chefs on apprenticeships schemes, enthusiastic and excited about the food we produce. The kitchen’s moto is, “if you’re not proud of it, don’t serve it!”

The restaurant menu changes monthly to match the season and the majority of produce is sourced within a 25mile radius where available, but quality of produce remains a top priority which sometimes takes us outside of this radius. Fresh Sewin is available in the Summer months, Rhydlewis Smoked Salmon, Cardigan Bay Shellfish, and of course Welsh Lamb & Beef are just some of the more regular items on the menu. Each dish is served with pride, and this, combined with attention to detail of all staff has contributed to the receiving of this award.
