Croeso / Welcome
Geographically, Wales is not a huge country, yet it provides some of the finest ingredients on the planet. With such a fiercely proud nation, it is only fitting that the culinary team at The Wynnstay Hotel always aims to cook with the freshest Welsh produce – plating up delicious food. The passion for food is equaled by a desire to pair your dish of choice with the correct wine. We can offer a wine pairing suggestion with each dish – please ask and we’ll gladly match one of our 50 wines to a dish of your choice, providing what we believe to be the ultimate experience.
