Llanddewi Skirrid is a rural hamlet a couple of miles East of Abergavenny in South Wales. It sits on the B4521 which runs between Abergavenny and the A49 just North of Ross-on-Wye. Not difficult to find; see the location page. It was famous for more than 30 years, and then in 2001 it acquired new owners and lost some of its glitter, closing early in 2007. Now it’s jointly operated by me, Shaun Hill and William Griffiths who runs the Angel Hotel in nearby Abergavenny (good place to stay). With my wife Anja, I ran the Merchant House Restaurant (won a few gongs) in Ludlow up to early 2005, and have since been working as a consultant.

I am running the show, and the style reflects our straightforward approach at

the Merchant House. This is a much larger operation and I am not cooking solo at the stoves. There is a brigade of chefs, some of whom have worked with me before and some of whom have worked at the Walnut Tree in its former glory days.

The Walnut Tree has around 20 tables simply laid with decent china and glass. There is room for 70 diners and we open from Tuesday to Saturday, lunch and dinner. We take Visa and MasterCard. There is no service charge. See the current menus.

Robin Jones who used to run the Croque-en-Bouche in Malvern helps me

put the wine list together and we have opted for quality and interest over quantity or any notion of being comprehensive. There are frozen eaux-de-vie and a few good brandies as well as pudding wines to round things off. I don't wish to push anyone into spending more than they want so please ask if you are interested.

Wine service in restaurants can be quite elaborate, but our approach is straightforward. We offer you a taste to check the condition, pour a small glass

for each diner and then leave it up to you.

If you are looking for accommodation, we have two cottages, each with two bedrooms. The Old Post Office Cottage and adjoining Ivy Cottage are just a few yards walk from the restaurant. Or individual rooms at the Angel Hotel are only ten minutes away by car or taxi. Find out about accommodation.

I wish you a good appetite, and hope you’ll visit. If you are already sufficiently tempted, you can enquire about a reservation online. Or ring us: 01873 852797
