Two Gwynedd businesses have been recognised at this year’s AA Hospitality Awards.
The Gunroom Restaurant at Plas Dinas Country House has won an award for wine, and Fanny Talbot’s in Barmouth has been awarded three rosettes.
Daniel Perks, Director at The Gunroom Restaurant: “During my career spanning 25 years of caring for guests in hotels and restaurants, my interest in wines has developed into a passion. I am now lucky to be in a position to be able to devote time to developing a wine list that an integral part of the story telling and strong sense of place and history. To have respected industry recognition from the AA, that what the team and I have designed is indeed something special, is an immense achievement. A truly proud moment in our time as custodians of Plas Dinas Country House & The Gunroom Restaurant.”
Owen Vaughan, Head Chef at Fanny Talbot said: “It has been a pleasure to have brought on this team and venue since opening what is a relatively short time ago and look forward to celebrating.”
