We drove past the National Botanical Gardens of Wales and headed further towards Nantgaredig seeking out Y Polyn , sheltered quietly Away from busy roads and crowds of people.
With a new extension upstairs and a new menu we felt an air of excitement when we entered and were not disappointed on arrival or at any stage of our meal.
We sampled the real ales and house wines and gave them the thumbs up, choosing a bottle of the Viognier French white. Then ordering confit of chicken risotto with pearl barley, very old world (I havn't had pearl barley in years) and duck breast with a beetroot rosti. Both very impressive.
Followed by their sherry trifle and their stem ginger cheesecake. To compliment our desserts I asked the young lady for advice as to which dessert wine to have and she recommended a Californian Mango infused wine I would never have dreamt of ordering, excellent choice.
I was quietly impressed and only had positive things to say about this little Bastion of honest cooking.
We drove back stopping to admire the woodlands and the eruption of fresh growth.
In the shade a mass of wood anemonies were alive and an abundant carpet of four hundred year old blue bells.
This is such a short season and prefoundly pleasing to observe, breath in and be enveloped in Blue.
