What makes the Felin Fach Griffin one of Britain's cosiest pubs

The Felin Fach Griffin was named in the top 50 cosiest pubs in Britain by the Good Food Guide.

The food experts, explaining the pubs place on the list, said: "Part of Charles and Edmund Inkin’s 'Eat, Drink, Sleep' trilogy – which also includes the Gurnard’s Head and the Old Coastguard in Cornwall – this ever-popular pub with rooms is, in many ways, an archetypal dream of a country inn.

"It transports you to a half-imagined heyday of fireside sofas, knobbly brickwork, low beams and quarry tiled floors, with craft ales at the bar and fresh, home-cooked food buoyed up by produce from the kitchen garden.

"For all its heritage vibes, the Griffin is also a slick, modern operation, with polished service and a properly cheffy kitchen (headed by Gwenann Davies).

"Her repertoire includes traditional ideas such as broccoli and Stilton soup or lamb rump with faggot, peas and red wine gravy alongside more contemporary dishes – perhaps a sticky glazed BBQ short rib with sweet, spiky kimchi, luscious sriracha mayo and fresh herbs, ahead of pearly, crisp-skinned hake with a crunchy, breadcrumbed crab and chorizo cake, set on an intense, velvety, red pepper purée.

"Each dish is carefully considered, right through to dessert."

The Felin Fach Griffin was also recently named among the best pubs in the UK by the Daily Mail.

Its has received rave reviews from visitors on Tripadvisor, with the pub boasting a 4.5 out of 5 rating from 697 reviews.
