| About the food we serve Gail believes in giving you real food, freshly prepared from quality ingredients  She buys organic produce whenever she can - we believe organic farming is better for the natural environment and better for you! Our potatoes and carrots come from Penrhiw Organic Farm, above Goodwick - you can see it on the skyline from the sea-view rooms. If the produce is not organic, Gail tries to buy food which is free from additives and preservatives. Our fish is either locally caught or sustainably farmed and supplied by Graig Farm Organics. Whenever she can Gail buys locally, cutting down on the 'food miles' travelled by the meal on your plate. We buy our meat from a local farm. She knows many of her suppliers personally. We hope you enjoy your meal! |

| Fishguard The picturesque harbour of Lower Fishguard - setting for the 1971 film version of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood - was once home to 50 coastal trading vessels. Fishing was also important, and smoked herrings were exported to southern Europe. The harbour, on the estuary of the Gwaun River, is still used by small fishing boats as well as leisure craft.  Fishguard Fort was built in 1781 to protect the harbour from marauding privateers. However it was on the wrong side of town when a French invasion force of about 1,300 landed near Llanwnda in 1797.Fortunately the invaders were more interested in looting and drinking than fighting, and they soon surrendered to a hastily-assembled defence force. This was led by Lord Cawdor who made his headquarters the Royal Oak inn, which still stands on Fishguard Square. Reminders of the Last Invasion include a memorial to local heroine Jemima Nicholas outside St Mary's Church. Fishguard Square is the lively hub of the upper town, which has a good selection of shops and eating-places. A number of artists and craftspeople have settled in the area and there are several excellent galleries. The long-established Fishguard summer music festival has an international following, and is complemented by the recently-launched Fishguard Folk Festival earlier in the summer and a jazz festival in September. |
