Its official, there's nothing we love more than our Mums. Proof positive this weekend, as we are delighted to report that Mother's Day was celebrated in big style in Wales - it was a positive sellout at all three of our restaurants. We served over 500 people with very special Mother's Day menus! And we have no doubt that the mum's of Britain deserve every break, every hug, kiss and treat we can give them to show our appreciation. Its a shame we only tell them once a year how much they mean to us. So, to all the Mum's who were given a day off and happily waited on by us, at The Manor, Peterstone Court and the Castle Hotel, we salute you! Anytime you need a break, please come again, we'll make sure you get looked after, appreciated and treated as you deserve 365 days a year.

There is a new star in Britain’s best kitchens, as fancy foams, splodges of colour across the plate and fine dining begins to wane, in favour of simpler foods. Top of leading chefs’ ‘most wanted’ list, the new gastronomy gadget taking the culinary world by storm is called a ‘Josper Oven’. Its not exactly a new invention as it originated from Northern Spain over 40 years ago, but the Josper is very new in the UK. There is only one in Wales and its right here at The Castle Hotel.

My tastebuds have a nose for identifying 'happiness on a plate' - its a bit like 'happy chickens lay good eggs' - you can just tell if a dish comes from happy chefs as soon as it arrives in front of you. Can anyone else or is it just me? I can tell if food I'm served has come from a harmonious, quality kitchen or one which is over-stressed or filled with unhappy staff. Its a handy signpost for anybody who likes to eat out. To me this is more important than entering the realm of the Michelin star.

We've been smiling all week and there's a new, healthy spring in our steps following last weeks' visit by HRH Prince Charles to The Castle. He delivered a strong, simple, encouraging message to all of us in Llandovery and what he had to say, makes a lot of sense for rural communities like ours.

Last Friday 2nd March we were extremely honoured to welcome HRH the Prince of Wales to the Castle hotel in Llandovery. Before entering the hotel the Prince took a long look at our specials board and commented that our prices looked ‘extremely good value’ which raised a few smiles and relaxed everybody.

A very happy St David’s Day from all the team here.
We are celebrating our Welsh roots proudly and loudly this week with some very special Welsh menus.
We all know that Saint David's Day is the feast day of St David, the patron saint of Wales. But did you know that it used to be a national holiday? The first day of March was chosen in remembrance of the death of Saint David as he died on that day in 589. The date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century and for centuries was a bank holiday for all. Sadly this tradition stopped in the 20th century.
