Two Welsh restaurants make Good Food Guide’s Top 40

The Crown at Whitebrook, near Monmouth, joins Tyddyn Llan, Llandrillo, Denbighshire, in The Good Food Guide 2009 Top 40, which is published today.

Regarded in the trade as the food bible, the guide's reviewer praises The Crown's kitchen, which it says: "avidly seeks out ingredients from far and wide, then allows the creative juices to flow."

The Welsh restaurant also garners praise for its "bold gestures and classically inclined ideas."

The Crown at Whitebrook's general manager, David Hennigan, said: "This is fantastic news. It is a true reflection of and tribute to the incredibly hard work put in by everyone here at The Crown.

"The team are extremely talented and dedicated to the delivery of excellence.

"What is especially pleasing is that listings in The Good Food Guide are not just based on findings of their own independent guide judges but also on the views of customers who take the time to send in their comments on their experiences of The Crown."

The Crown's 30-cover restaurant in the Wye Valley, Monmouthshire, boasts a modern British menu with classical French disciplines and the executive chef is James Sommerin.
