Widely known for its reputation as a popular stop off point for travellers, and a cherished meeting place for the local populace, Tal-Y-Cafn is a gastropub that has truly learned the meaning of community. Whether it’s inspiring connections through recipes that pay homage to Imagine Inn’s Lancashire roots, or presenting a drinks menu that captures the brilliance of local brewers and distillers, Tal-Y-Cafn symbolizes the very best of North Wales. Back in 2020, the founder of Tal-Y-Cafn had an inspired idea – to open a gastropub that would entice people from across the nation. Regardless of whether they were weary tourists looking to rest their feet and sample the local cuisine, or a local wanting to escape to a hub of communal vibrancy, Tal-Y-Cafn would welcome all manner of guests. And then, as we all know, the pandemic hit, and many businesses within the hospitality industry struggled to cope with the repercussions. Except for Tal-Y-Cafn. Purchased during this restrictive period, the gastropub quickly gained immense popularity. Its food, compiled of fresh ingredients and served to perfection, combined with its determination to provide for the community, played a critical role in its success. Partnered with a drive to see people unite following such a difficult time period, Tal-YCafn soon became known far and wide as North Wales’s most inviting, and communal, gastropub. Though most would think the story ends there, Tal-Y-Cafn has proven that it’s in the business of upscaling its menus on a regular basis. By visiting New York to learn more about fresh, emerging ideas within the culinary sphere, and further using these ideas as a springboard for formulating unique recipes, the establishment has managed to consistently stay ahead of the curve. After all, in such a competitive industry, one must identify how to stand out. For TalY-Cafn, this manifests through its ability to formulate ideas that aren’t accessible anywhere within the local area. In addition, Tal-Y-Cafn also offers guests the opportunity to make use of its lodging facilities, and it’s these very facilities that were featured on the ever popular Four in a Bed. Boasting humble, cosy rooms to which guests can retire after a long, arduous day, Tal-Y-Cafn promises a pleasant unwind, accompanied by some of the best food the region has to offer. In short, Tal-Y-Cafn is concerned with one primary aspect – satisfying the customer. Whether this is achieved through its food or its lodgings, nothing has prevented it from persevering through every challenge to create a truly special experience. Marking the perfect pit stop for any adventurer, Tal-Y-Cafn prides itself on its ability to capture the surrounding area, whilst also making each and every person under its roof feel welcome and cherished. The result is what we see today: a gastropub that has fostered a wonderful community. One that, since its inception, has been praised in abundance. Its food is a standout, but where Tal-Y-Cafn truly shines is in its resilience. While most may have had no other choice but to forfeit their plans to the pandemic, Tal-Y-Cafn didn’t back down for a second. Combined, all of these astounding qualities make for an establishment that’s more than deserving of its notoriety. It’s clear that passion has been poured into every aspect of TalY-Cafn, resulting in an environment that’s brimming with personality. We’re incredibly excited to feature Tal-Y-Cafn in this awards supplement, and we eagerly await is upcoming expansion in 2024. No doubt, it’ll simply add to an already solid, welcoming foundation.
