It evidently takes a lot to be recognised by Michelin. Hard work, long hours, consistency and complete dedication to the job…not to forget amazing food and service! However, with an estimate of near to 4000 restaurants in Wales – according to TripAdvisor…and my counting ability (argh!); it pains me to see that as a country, Michelin have only seen it fit to award Wales with 7, highly deserved, Michelin Stars. This, added to the fact that up until last week only The Felin Fach Griffin in Brecon held a Bib Gourmand (criteria to offer three courses for under £28), and just 45 restaurants appear in the Guide itself. I say ‘pains’, because I personally believe that there are a number of excellent establishments throughout Wales, who operate somewhat under the radar and don’t always get the recognition they deserve…anyway I’ll hop down off my soapbox now…
It’s a hard life being a food blogger. You see, every week I “need” to eat at a different restaurant otherwise I won’t have anything to write about. #FirstWorldProblems. The problem is, ever since I visited the Hare & Hounds near Cowbridge last September, I’ve wanted to eat there every week instead of trying somewhere new. Yesterday, I finally returned, and it was just as frigging awesome as the last time.
Great stop on way home to South dorset after a weekend in Devon. Just what we needed, a decent hot carvery and comfortable sofa seating. Added bonus of dog friendly. Delicious gammon and cauliflower cheese.
