The First Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Outside the UK Opens at Sunway Resort, Kuala Lumpur - G O R D O N R A M SAY R E S TAU R A N TS -

The most anticipated dining experience in Asia, Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur is opening its doors at Sunway Resort this month – becoming the iconic chef’s inaugural restaurant in Malaysia, and the first Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill outside the UK. This landmark launch also represents the culmination of a once-in-ageneration transformation of Sunway Resort. The restaurant blends Gordon Ramsay’s British heritage with the grace and grandeur of Sunway Resort. A series of intimate spaces include a trio of private dining rooms – 8 Mayfair, 10 Soho and 12 Chelsea - a grand dining room with semi-private seating booths and a glittering cocktail bar with floor-to-ceiling windows, seating up to 150 guests at a time.

The interior design features robust furnishings with a rich red and forest green colour scheme accentuated by polished walnut hardwood flooring, brass finishes, 24 karat gold leaf hand-placed ceiling and more. Monochrome portraits of British style icons by celebrated photographers Terry O’Neill and Arthur Steel feature The Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, the original 007 Sir Sean Connery, supermodels Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy, line the walls of the main dining room. The exquisite menu, inspired by one of London’s most iconic restaurants, Savoy Grill, showcases only the finest ingredients presented with culinary flair from the highly skilled, Gordon Ramsay-trained team. Diners can look forward to savouring prime cuts of meat dry-aged in-house and Chef Ramsay’s most desirable dishes, such as his ‘Classic Beef

Wellington’, served tableside, the ‘Spiced Beef Tartare with Egg Yolk Confit’, his must-try ‘Arnold Bennett Twice-baked Cheese Soufflé with Mornay Sauce’, the ‘Dover Sole with Grenobloise capers sauce’ and more. For guests looking to wind down in the evenings, take a seat at our bar and sip on concoctions from a masterly crafted menu of classic favourites, cocktails with Malaysian-inspired flavours and a host of premium wines and spirits. Adjacent to the cocktail bar, a dedicated wine cellar showcases an extensive global wine list for wine enthusiasts and a private room welcomes intimate evenings for tastings, social gatherings and more.

Sunway Resort, Malaysia. This is a concept that was born in London and exudes the British sophistication created out of its original Mayfair setting, however, we always wanted to introduce Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill to an international setting once we had found the perfect partners and the perfect location. Malaysia is a wonderful country with a rich heritage and an exciting future, and I am confident that local guests and international visitors will have an exceptional dining experience in our beautiful new restaurant.”

“This is a very exciting and momentous occasion for us. The opening of Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill at Sunway Resort marks the start of a new era of international epicurean excellence in Malaysia. It also represents the culmination of our once-in-ageneration transformation to enhance every aspect of Sunway Resort as we embark on a bold drive to seal our position as Asia’s leading fully-integrated premier hospitality and entertainment destination,” said Alex Castaldi, Senior General Manager, Sunway City Kuala Lumpur Hotels.

Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill at Sunway Resort joins the brand’s three existing locations in London’s Mayfair, Chelsea and Park Walk. It also becomes part of the expanding network of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, one of the UK’s largest privately-owned restaurant groups with more than 35 locations worldwide and a total of seven Michelin stars.

A Performance in Three Acts With 50 dishes - A LC H E M I S T -

Written by - Urban Nilmander Photos - Carin Tegner/Soren Gammelmark/ Claes Bech Poulsen/Kim Holtermand A meal can last for seven hours where guests are surrounded by violinists, dreamlike visual projections, and challenged by provocations like chicken in a cage. 50 dishes are served and today 50,000 guests are waiting to enter the stage. Rasmus Munk has always been fascinated by theater, by the strong visual experiences that a scene provides. Experiences are touched by what happens when you are served a beautiful, incomprehensible, or challenging dish. It is fantastic that guests who do not normally go to this type of restaurant but like to go and experience culture come to us. He says it is a crossover, a melting pot that feels extra fun. We meet at the big international food fair Madrid Fusion where he spoke about his restaurant

Alchemist in the middle of Copenhagen to thousands of chefs, food producers, and journalists. His thoughts on a new way of relating to food were met with cheers but also by some chefs shaking their heads. I hope I can influence young chefs to think in new directions. And it can happen on a much smaller scale than my 22,000 square meters. The important thing is to dare to challenge both yourself and the guests, says Rasmus Munk. A visit to Alchemist is a journey into yourself but also provocations that sometimes lead to guests leaving the room. The visual and tasteful journey goes through different rooms and can last for seven hours. A dish can be a foam that is frozen to -90 degrees called “greed”; no matter how fast you try to eat the foam, it has time to melt before it reaches your mouth.

Another is a big eye called 1984 and is about the surveillance society, a third is a lung from a lamb that wants to tell about smoking and a fourth dish is an ice cream made of blood and blueberries served in the form of a drop and a QR- code that tells you how important it is to donate blood. I have a naive dream of being able to change the world for the better. As a chef, today you have an enormous impact that I think we should use. But of course, the food should also taste fantastic, we want to give the guest something they have not experienced before, says Rasmus Munk. Today he has a team of 102 people where a large part consists of scenographers, musicians, visual artists, graphic designers, and industrial designers. In part of the performance, the guests are taken to a large disco room in bright pink where you can dance to music by Barry White, or through an all-black room to the large planetarium. My part in the concept is to ensure that the guests get food that tastes good and is exciting, I always taste everything every day before it goes out to the guests, but I am also very involved in the cultural, visual experience and how everything interacts, he says. He designed the restaurant in a large hangar-like building on Refshaleøen, a room that was previously used for the stage construction for the Royal Ballet. For the inauguration, he had invited his great idol Ferran Adria, the man behind El Bulli, the restaurant that changed the culinary world and still stands as a model for many chefs around the world. Ferran Adria said after the evening on Alchemist; There are only five or six places in the world that can do what Rasmus does here. This has been one of the most exciting meals I have eaten in the last ten years. Rasmus has a lot of hard work ahead of him, but if you continue like this, he will be a reference for others for the next 20 years. “ Of course, he is right. It feels like we are only at the beginning of what this can develop into, says Rasmus Munk. So, there is this thing with provoking the guest. Chicken cage with a foot from a chicken sticking out, the big eye, the lung from a lamb, or the tongue. Or plastic-like food to draw attention to the growing plastic problems in our oceans. It has probably happened a couple of times that some have been upset and left. But it’s not about upsetting the guests - it’s about getting them to think about how

we treat animals but also that it’s important to donate blood to save people. It is very common for guests to come to me afterward and tell me that they will never forget the experience they had at Alchemist and then we have succeeded, says Rasmus Munk. He also says that they dared to touch the hottest potato you can in Denmark - the pig. Denmark has a large production of pigs that are sold all over the world. But they have also received a lot of criticism for their handling of the pig. We served a dish where we took the part of the pig that is removed and is at the neck of the pig. Some are removed because this is where antibiotics are injected. We served it with a small dish of liquid that we said was an antibiotic. Some guests were very upset, it was like touching the soul of the Danish people, he says. Again, he emphasizes that it is what the total experience Alchemist is about, the provocation is only a part. For me, it is an interesting balance to work with fine dining and still tell the guests something. And that’s where the whole concept of having culture and strong visual experiences at the restaurant comes in. And he has plans to be outside the fine dining restaurant and cook where it makes a difference. He has worked with something called Wish Christmas (Önske Jul) where he serves food to children and young people who are having a hard time. Of course, it is “ordinary” food I make then, but seeing the children’s faces means a lot to me. And I intend to continue with that in new forms, he says. Alchemist already has two Michelin stars, and many reviewers believe he should have three. It is of course nice to get grades for what I do and that so many want to visit us. But the most fun is that

we have succeeded with the ambition to use food to discuss the important things in life, says Rasmus Munk. The menu and everything that happens visually must also be constantly changed when new issues arise that require attention. At the time of writing, the war in Ukraine has been commented on. Munk is also building an open library with educational material on gastronomy, sustainability, and science, which he calls Tastelab. And the waiting list to visit Alchemist is only growing and growing. 50,000 guests are waiting to get one of the 48 seats at what is today Denmark’s most expensive restaurant.

Three of his favorite dishes 1. The perfect omelet A distant cousin to Albert Adria’s legendary olive liquid. Munk’s exploding omelet is a shiny, fluttering little creature no bigger than a strawberry. The omelet is held together by a thin membrane that opens and gives a heavenly taste when it reaches the mouth. 2. 1984 A wink to George Orwell’s 1984 as a commentary on our new digital surveillance society is served in the form of an eye with a pupil filled with asparagus cream, pistachio, and raw Japanese fish. The pupil has a coating of caviar and fisheye jelly 3. Double trouble Jellyfish are considered an invasive species in Nordic waters but are often on the menu in Chinese kitchens. At Alchemist, this science-fiction-like creation is served raw along with green cream and other accessories.

The menu was curated by Head Chef, Harvey Lockwood, who trained under Michelin-starred chefs Daniel Galmiche and John Campbell and who led Murrays to its third AA Rosette in October 2020 – one of only two restaurants in Northamptonshire to hold the accolade which recognises food quality excellence across the UK.

The tasting menu is priced at £75 per person, with wine flights available for an additional £42 per person, while the à la carte menu is priced at £60 per person for three courses. As well as Murrays, Whittlebury Park is also home to the luxurious Whittlebury Spa, which was recently named as a finalist in the Good Spa Guide Awards 2022, and a 36-hole championship golf course.

Harvey said: “Creating new and unique flavour combinations to excite and delight our guests at Murrays is a passion and I’m proud of the imagination, skill, and hard work we put into perfecting every dish. I can’t wait for guests to try the new menu and discover the inspiring new tastes that will make their visit to Murrays truly unforgettable.” The fine-dining restaurant uses only the finest, carefully sourced, quality ingredients in its dishes with priority given to seasonal and local produce.

The Fellows House Cambridge Unveils the Hotel’s Interior Design - T H E F E L LOWS H O U S E -

The Fellows House Cambridge, Curio Collection by Hilton is beautifully designed by hospitality design practice, twenty2degrees. Situated a stone’s throw from River Cam and Jesus Green, the aparthotel style property is ideal for both long and short stays and provides access to everything the historic city has to offer. The influences behind The Fellows House brand led the design narrative which threads through the hotel, sometimes thoughtprovoking, often playful and always layered to feed guest curiosity. This can be seen in the choice of furnishings and finishes and the juxtaposition of the classic and modern. Above all, the story is told through bespoke artwork and carefully curated accessories that are seldom quite what they appear to be at first glance. The Fellows House offers 131 apartments. Their aesthetic is contemporary and pared-back – space for guests to make their own. Pale timber floors

Presenting Bergman Design House - B E RG M A N -

A London-based luxury design studio for the hospitality, commercial, residential and superyacht sectors Bergman Design House has an enviable portfolio of international projects at some of the most exclusive addresses. Co-founded in 2017 by Marie Soliman and Albin Berglund, the firm is regarded internationally as leading creative movers and shakers in the industry. With over 25 years of combined experience, Marie and Albin, a dynamic husband and wife duo, have created a luxury design studio which specialises in the hotel, commercial, residential and superyacht industries.

Bergman Design House has a wide range of inspiring projects opening in 2022 and beyond. These include The Lund Collection, a new luxurious cottage in the Cotswolds for the ultimate private UK escape opening in February 2022. Marie is the mastermind behind all design aspects of the new London-based The Other House Hotel, a private members hotel which opens in South Kensington in April 2022 with another Covent Garden property in the pipeline. Bergman Design House designed BXR, the high-end boxing gym located in London’s Marylebone along with Sweat by BXR in Doha, Qatar.

for all who visit. We want our guests to come here and truly switch off, connect with nature and feel at home,” commented Marie Soliman. Marie and Albin have carefully curated welcome baskets with a fully stocked bar so guests can arrive and immediately relax while feeling welcome. Ideal for couples, solo travellers and small family groups, The Lund Collection is Bergman Design House’s first taste of their own branded accommodations. The Other House is a new private residents club launching in early summer 2022 in London’s South Kensington by Naomi Heaton and designed by Marie Soliman of Bergman Design House. A second location in Covent Garden is also underway. The Other House will establish a new sector of Residents’ Clubs blurring the lines between hotels, serviced apartments and private rentals.

Bergman Design House is also revolutionising the bar scene in Vancouver, Canada. After successfully designing and creating Laowai, a popular speakeasy in the city’s China Town, a second location is now in the works. Specialising in floating hotels and private superyachts, Njord by Bergman Design House is a separate component of this luxury design studio with 7-star projects underway.

“Our aim was to develop something different and powerful yet comfortable and relaxing” says Soliman. The aim is to let guests feel like a resident when they are in town and give them experiences to remember. In addition to spacious and comfortable rooms, members will enjoy an all-day dining bistro, a destination bar and a glamorous spa.

“The idea behind Bergman Design House was to break the mould and we are doing that across our portfolio. When you enter one of our hotels, bars, or restaurants, we want you to feel you are entering a magical world. There is an element of fantasy there and you can be whoever you wish to be!” commented Marie Soliman, Founder and Creative Director of Bergman Design House. Bergman Design House Projects launched in Q1 2022: The Lund Collection is Marie and Albin’s new private cottage in the Cotswolds near Chipping Norton and Great Tew. This one-bedroom oasis of calm is exquisitely decorated by Marie and Albin featuring personally chosen original art pieces. The Lund Collection is Bergman Design House’s foray into a new line of luxury individual accommodations in the UK. Creating and designing The Lund Collection has been a passion project for Marie and Albin, and they hope it will be a sanctuary for future guests seeking zen and an escape in the countryside. “We fell in love with this cottage and the absolutely stunning countryside. It is intended to be a sanctuary

It doesn’t matter if you’re a hotel, a restaurant, a conference venue or a bar, the goals are the same – to get customers through the door. And there’s no better way to do this than with a range of print collateral which can drive new clients in your direction or let potential new ones find out what you’re all about. At WTTB we have extensive experience in producing a whole range of exciting and cost-effective printed marketing materials which can help you boost your business. From flyers to smart brochures which you can use as a selling tool or leave at your venue/hotel rooms to showcase what you have to offer to pop-up banners which can highlight other facilities or events that you’re having. If you’re a hotel then why not create your very own newspaper which you can use to showcase to guests your dining and banqueting options, your local attractions and facilities and up coming

offerings for special dates in the calendar? The advantage of print materials like this is that it’s something that can be done on a regular basis without breaking the bank, so your information is never out of date. Loyalty cards are also a great way to get repeat business and handing out something tangible means that your customers will have a constant reminder with them about your venue. Or why not have a range of leaflets than not only promote special events or even a discount offer which can be used in the future. Weddings are big business for the hospitality industry so make sure you capitalise on them for your venue.

Introducing The Macallan M Collection: A Prism Into The World Of The Macallan - T H E M AC A L L A N -

The Macallan has unveiled The Macallan M Collection, a range of limited release single malt whiskies which celebrates the brand’s acclaimed Six Pillars. The Six Pillars are the foundation stones that account for The Macallan’s distinctive and exceptional whiskies and comprise Natural Colour, Mastery, Curiously Small Spirit Stills, The Estate, Exceptional Oak Casks and Sherry Seasoning. The Macallan M Collection features an array of colours embodying these unique attributes and reflecting the emotions that drive the brand. The first three expressions are the 2022 editions of the previously released M and M Black and the brandnew M Copper, which pays tribute to the unique copper stills utilised by The Macallan since it was founded in 1824.

exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks. A rare spirit epitomising transparency, the whisky glistens in a handcrafted Lalique crystal decanter. Matured in a small number of hand-selected casks, M proudly showcases The Macallan’s rich natural colour, while the transparent decanter reflects honesty as there is no artificial colouring. With a rich amber hue, M reveals the distillery’s classic sherry seasoned, full-flavoured character imparting notes of chocolate, rich dried fruit and spice.

reflects the peat smoke within the whisky and the confidence which drives The Macallan as the whisky makers boldly marry classic Macallan notes with peated whisky. A subtly smoky expression, it displays a rich natural colour of golden sunrise and is a harmonious balance of The Macallan’s classic character with an unexpected peated note, resulting in a complex single malt to savour.

The Macallan M Copper 2022 Release M Copper is an ode to the Curiously Small Spirit Stills that remain key to crafting The Macallan’s precious spirit to this day. One of the defining features of the distillation process, they represent a pivotal moment in whisky-making history as when most moved to larger, higher production copper stills, The Macallan focused on exceptional quality. Their distinctive shape and size help to concentrate the new make spirit, creating the rich, robust character. With a natural colour of spun gold, M Copper is a vibrant and elegant expression which brings the flavours created in the stills to the fore. It has a buttery, viscous mouth coating and is bursting in fruitiness with a hint of sweet malty flavour. A handcrafted Lalique copper coloured crystal decanter represents the stills and reflects the authenticity which drives the brand through its dedication to innovative methods.

Lalique to bring these extraordinary expressions to life, and with Nick Knight to create a dramatic visual world for the collection.” Silvio Denz, Chairman and CEO of Lalique, said: “It is an honour to work with The Macallan - our long-standing partner for 16 years - to realise this exquisite collection and showcase our shared sense of mastery, craftsmanship and heritage. The decanters are completely unique in the world of decanters, very difficult to produce because of their shape and Lalique’s masters of crystal have relished applying their most complex skills to bring Fabien Baron’s creative vision to life.” For each 70cl decanter, The Macallan M 2022 Release has an RRSP £5,000, The Macallan M Black 2022 Release has an RRSP of £5,700 and The Macallan M Copper 2022 Release has an RRSP of £6,250. The Macallan M Collection will be available at Harrods, The Whisky Exchange, The Whisky Shop and Master of Malt.

Visually representing the Six Pillars, the decanters are beautiful masterpieces created in collaboration with renowned creative director, Fabien Baron and French crystal maker Lalique. Envisioned by Baron, they feature six facets while Lalique has drawn on over 130 years of mastery to bring refinement and flawless clarity. The decanters are encased in exquisite outer packaging also denoting the Six Pillars and sustainably sourced in Scotland. The Macallan has worked with renowned luxury fashion photographer and creative visionary Nick Knight, to create a series of photography and film in his abstract and expressionistic style. Knight’s imagery captures the collection in blocks of ice as an homage to The Macallan’s intrinsic connection to nature and the River Spey which runs through The Macallan Estate.

Jaume Ferras, Global Creative Director for The Macallan, said: “Our Six Pillars foundation stones embody all that is unique to The Macallan, together underpinning the renowned quality and rich character of our whisky and The Macallan M Collection tells the story of these unique attributes. We are dedicated to uncompromised excellence, and proud to collaborate with Fabien Baron and

Tide’s Furtune Gin - E A S T COA S T D I S T I L L E RY -

It is fast-approaching East Coast Distilleries’ second birthday, and they now have two delicious gins in their main range along with a changing line up of limited-edition runs. The distillery, based just a short walk away from the scenic backwaters of northeast Essex, launched in June 2020 at a time when most bars, restaurants, and hotels - their intended main customer base were sadly all closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the team have been amazed by the local support, and as one loyal customer tells them - it is always gin o clock! Simon from the team made up of two husband and wives says “It’s not been the start we imagined, but it’s been wonderful to get to know our customers locally and they made it obvious that, when it came to developing our second gin in the Tide’s Fortune range, it was important to continue to use local ingredients wherever possible. The Elder Pear Dry Gin uses traditional botanicals along with locally foraged Alexanders, dried Elderflower, local honey, and pears grown just up the road in Great Holland.

Absolutely delicious served with ice, a slice of pear and an elderflower tonic water. We are really pleased with it.” “It’s an exciting time for us as we can now get out and about. We also have lots more people coming to see us” says Ben, one quarter of the creative team. “We run free tours every Saturday so people can learn more about the process and the botanicals that go into our products. The visit is rounded off with a little tipple. We’ve been doing these for local bar staff and restaurateurs too, and they have loved leaving armed with even more knowledge to pass onto their customers. It’s also great to see local bars, pubs and restaurants start to bounce back and a real desire to stock local wherever possible. Hopefully the lasting positive of the past few years is that people relish what’s on their doorstep and we have really loved getting to be part of a community of local makers. ”

DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE

When the Art of Storytelling Meets Luxury Hospitality - W D U BA I - M I N A S E YA H I BY B L I N K D E S I G N G RO U P storytelling, one of the most sublime and respected forms of art that run through Arabian culture.”

BLINK Design Group, the global interior design visionaries and high priests of placemaking, have been tasked with the creation of the UAE’s latest W Hotel; W Dubai Miina Seyahi. Located in the heart of Al Mina al Seyahi - the legendary ‘Port of Travellers’ district of Jumeirah Beach, home to Dubai International Marine Club and its 300-berth marina - the modern yet bohemian hotel is inspired by traditional Dhow boats, the romance of travel and the ancient Arabic storytelling tradition of AlHalqa. Once a thriving hub of the copper trade, where AlHalqa storytellers would weave their yarns to circles of spellbound travellers, the Port of Travellers has been BLINK’s overarching inspiration for the hotel, together with the graceful swooping shape of the traditional Dhow boats. The 31-storey eclectic yet retro property houses 291 guest rooms and 27 opulent suites, a spectacular lobby facing the marina, an infinity pool and lavish BAR-B spa, four meeting rooms and a selection of innovative dining concepts. An utterly unique creation, at W Dubai – Mina Seyahi ancient tales will be given new life through its guests.

He adds that the project had proved an eye-opener in terms of what was possible within the vivid brand universe of W Hotels: “Hints to the Arabic tradition and craftsmanship are peppered across the hotel, from treasure-chest-like bedside tables to white leather bed headboards - with ribs and shapes inspired by Dhows - fabrics with motifs drawn from local calligraphy and lights that resemble the Arabian Nights’ ancient lanterns. The suites have been envisioned as a place to gather with friends for pre-dinner drinks or casual meetings. The bedrooms have a luxurious seating area, with a tilted minibar in brass and dark blue lacquer, a social space where drinks can be served and a perfect place for lazy grazing”. “The element of surprise extends to the walk-in closets, closed with billowing curtains in a gradient of sunset colours, echoing the hues of the bay. We play with the idea of the secrets behind the veil. The storytelling theme extends to the bathrooms via a calligraphy theme, with bold black and white colours to echo ink and paper. The bathrooms also feature a seating area, encouraging long bathing rituals, and conversation” adds Nagata. The hotel’s signature restaurant, Ginger Moon, has been conceived as a lively space for international travellers, traders and digital nomads to connect. It features a spectacular split-level ocean deck opening up to the bay, with a pool bar overlooking The Palm Island. The storytelling theme continues into BAR-B, the uniquely exotic spa experience, where socializing and being pampered go hand in hand.

BLINK’s founder and creative partner, Clint Nagata, explains: “Dubai transformed quickly from an ancient outpost into an ultra-modern city and one of the most famous travel destinations. Despite this rapid modernisation, the thread of history is kept alive down the generations through the traditions of

Three luxurious historic places to stay Located on St Davids peninsula, Pembrokeshire West Wales - T H E R E T R E ATS G RO U P -

The Retreats Group comprises three of Wales most luxurious and historic places to stay located on the St Davids peninsula in Pembrokeshire. Although each is very different reflecting its history and former use, they all feature luxurious, contemporary interiors designed with extreme comfort in mind. Twr y Felin, a former windmill and Wales’ first contemporary art hotel in Britain’s smallest city of St Davids; 12th century Roch Castle, spectacular and dramatic, with panoramic views over the Preseli Hills and St Brides Bay, and 19th century Penrhiw Priory, nestled in acres of tranquil gardens, enveloped by woodland, river and meadow in St Davids cathedral valley. Twr y Felin is also home to the AA three rosette, fine dining Blas Restaurant renowned for its exquisite ‘art on a plate’ dishes.

Twr y Felin and Blas Restaurant Twr y Felin has 41 luxury bedrooms including two accessible rooms, and over 250 pieces of art specially commissioned with a specific brief in mind – to evoke the Pembrokeshire landscape in a new way. Each artist interpreted this individually, some choosing to be literal and some abstract, producing a body of work that is full of contrast, colour, design and scale. Most of the rooms showcase views of the Pembrokeshire landscape, coastline or the city of St Davids, with super king beds that can be made up as a double or twin, while the majority of bathrooms include a separate bath and shower. Toiletries are from Aromatherapy Associates.

Roch Castle

Particularly distinctive is the ‘Tyddewi’ Windmill Tower Suite, which occupies three floors of the original windmill tower and boasts spectacular 360 degree views of St Davids peninsula from its own observatory. On a clear day, the islands of Skomer, Grassholm and Ramsey can be seen on the horizon of St Brides Bay, while the Preseli Hills offer an undulating backdrop to the mostly marine landscape. The ambient dining space in Blas Restaurant is surrounded by visual artworks reflecting the simplicity, elegance and history of Twr y Felin. Meaning ‘Taste’ in Welsh, Blas has been awarded three AA rosettes for its flavour filled dishes which are exquisitely presented as ‘art on a plate’ reflecting the hotel’s own interior style. Created by Head Chef Sammy Owen, and supported by Development Chef Gareth Evans, the food is experimental, a true culinary experience and feast for the eyes and senses. Inspired by the season and locality, menus feature some of the many species of fish and seafood caught daily in the surrounding seas, while beef, duck and fowl are farmed locally. Wales is famous for its lamb which also appears regularly on the menu; foraging rewards the chefs with ingredients such as samphire and wild garlic.
