The Wrexham pub among the cosiest in the UK perfect for a winter lunch

The West Arms in Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, Wrexham was named on the Good Food Guide's list of 'Britain's cosiest pubs for a perfect winter lunch'.

The pub, located in the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains, has a rating of 'good' (on the Good Food Guide website) and was described by the food experts as a great place for locally sourced food and drink.

The Good Food Guide said: "As befits a 16th-century drovers’ inn, the interior has its full quota of inglenooks and gnarled oak beams, although the place now functions as a hotel with all mod cons for business meetings and the like.

"Many of the kitchen’s suppliers live in the village or the nearby valley, and the menu is a movable feast dictated by the day’s deliveries – so expect outstanding venison sausages with mash, shepherd’s pie made with Dolwen PGI lamb, and slabs of prime Welsh Black sirloin with hand-cut chips.

"Long-serving chef Grant Williams also tosses in a few ideas and influences garnered from his travels, perhaps beetroot falafels with pear salad or baked fillet of cod with herb, lemon and olive-oil crumb.

"For afters, readers have singled out the amaretti cheesecake and the sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce – a perfect fit for the inn’s cosy, cockle-warming vibe.

"Locally brewed Big Hand ales are on tap and the wine list offers ‘plenty of variety for all’.

The West Arms is dog-friendly, offers outdoor seating for the warmer months and has accommodation for those looking to stay.
