THE Felin Fach Griffin near Hay-on-Wye has been named Dining Pub of the Year for Wales in the 37th edition of the Good Pub Guide.

The dining pub with rooms retains its crown from the 2018 edition of the guide.

The Griffin, hosted by Julie Bell, is a seven bedroom inn at the foot of the Brecon Beacons, owned since 2000 by brothers Charles and Edmund Inkin through their company EATDRINKSLEEP.

It has a thriving restaurant and bar that is a base for the community, supporting local producers, brewers and growers, as well as having its own kitchen garden.

It follows the brothers’ belief in “the simple things done well”, a philosophy which was developed during their dairy farming childhood in neighbouring Monmouthshire.
