Delicious Food and Drink


Breakfast (Served daily)

Our breakfast menu has got everything you need to kickstart your day. Delve into a hearty breakfast bap of either bacon, sausage, vegetarian sausage or egg (or ask for a combination if you’d rather – don’t be shy!)

Lunch (Served daily)

Choose from light bites to satisfying, hearty dishes and everything in between. A children’s menu is also available. And dogs are catered for too with our Sir Woofchester range.

Sunday Lunch

We’ve got Sundays sorted at Llys-y-fran… a 7-inch Yorkshire pudding fully loaded with our roast meat of the day, stuffing, pigs-in-blankets, green beans and roast potatoes. Vegetarians and vegans can enjoy mushroom and chestnut wellington with roast potatoes. Plus! Lighter bites – roast meat of the day in a sourdough roll, Welsh lamb cawl or soup of the day.
