The sun always shines in The Castle Inn kitchens and every day is a BBQ summer day. We’re well ahead of National BBQ week with our revolutionary Josper oven (it’s a super clever charcoal grill and indoor barbecue) which is in constant demand as the word spreads about this amazing type of cooking.

The British Asparagus season starts today – cause for celebration at Taste Inn Wales restaurants as this perky little veggie is one of our favourite things.
When the countryside starts to turn green, heralding the arrival of spring, asparagus spears will begin popping their heads up above the ground. For eight short weeks, from late April, this seasonal delight is abundant and it’s time for a celebration in the kitchen for those who love this luxurious vegetable.
Full-flavoured, deliciously sweet and tender, British asparagus is regularly described as the 'best in the world'. Get some from local growers if you can – farmers markets are great for finding the best, just picked, freshest asparagus. While the British climate ensures optimum conditions to achieve the perfect-tasting spear, the fact that it is grown here means that it can be quickly transported from field to our plates.

Everything in life is all worthwhile if you have views like ours. As we peer outside of the windows at Peterstone Court, we gaze over the flowing river and see an ocean of bluebells - they're out pretty early this year and you can't help but smile at the vibrant colours which now light up the place.

This week's menu at The Castle is featuring oak roasted salmon, courtesy of our friends from the Black Mountain Smokery, Crickhowell. Smoked fish is a truly healthy option - full of good oils including Omega3, high in protein and minerals and very low in fat. Even better, it tastes amazing.

We bought some outstanding short horn beef from Marcus and Daniella Lampard’s Mandinam Farm recently – we then cured it ourselves and this week have made some salt beef. We think its so good, that it deserves to be more than just a filling in a gourmet sandwich. So we are making a heart warming cawl topped with the delicious beef this week. Come over and try it, I guarantee it’ll warm your soul.
