Eating out (or in)

Plas yn Dinas, Llanfechain

 

Easting is an important part of most people's holidays. We are blessed with plenty of places to eat nearby, which are open all year round. We have no closed season.

Within walking distance, we have the Cain Valley Hotel, Seeds Restaurant and The Old New Inn for eating out. At The EagleLlanfyllin Chinese and Something Tasty you can eat in or have a takeway.

Within 6 miles, we have The Stumble Inn at Bwlch-y-Cibau, Plas-yn-Dinas at Llanfechain, and Cross Keys at Llansantffraid, The Green Inn at Llangedwyn and The Railway Inn at Penybontfawr.

Within 12 miles, there is a much wider choice, of which we have chosen two: the Lake Vyrnwy Hotel and Spa with its stunning views overlooking the Lake and The King's Head at Meifod.

For those who enjoy cooking (even on holiday), we have Peter Tomlinson, a high class butcher selling locally farmed meat and Down to Earth selling very fresh fruit and vegetables. We also have a well stocked SPAR store in the town. And what better way to cook than on the modern Esse log-burning Range in the cottage kitchen. We can always show you how it works.

Eating in

For some visitors, Eating In can be exciting as Eating Out. We are in an area that grows or farms most of its food locally so fresh food is always available. We are also lucky to have two special shops in the town – Tomlinson’s a very good butcher (whose family actually farms some the livestock themselves) – and Down to Earth a greengrocer and health food shop.  Down to Earth is only open on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. We also have Derek bringing his fresh fish trailer into the town each Thursday morning.

Spar is well-supplied and has many of the other ingredients you may need.

In the kitchen itself is the Esse log-burning range with it two hobs and two ovens. Cooking with a range could be a novel approach for those used to a gas hob and fan oven. Cooking may take a little loner but relax, you are on holiday! We can help you with any queries you have about cooking.
