| Something New’s Cooking |
| We are really excited about 2008 as it is our intention to make the Hotel's food the best in Porthmadog, using the finest of locally sourced Welsh food ingredients combined with the skills and experience of our new chefs. |
Felix
Prem (formerly Head Chef at Pengathley Manor Country House) was appointed
Head Chef in June and, recently, Francis Gomes ( Senior Sous at the
Royalist Hotel, Stow) joined as his deputy. Both have considerable multi
AA rosette level and fine dining experience. In particular, both have
also worked abroad in international hotels which will add a further
dimension to the range of dishes offered. |
