An FT countryside inn pick for foodies, located in a sleepy, hard-to-find corner of Wales. Under the direction of chef-proprietor Matt Tebbutt, "the Foxhunter’s cuisine belongs entirely to its location – slow-roasted Longhorn oozing hours of tender attention, root vegetables straight from the ground, braised organic mutton. Of course Smithfield meat market supplies the capital’s eateries with exceptionally fine raw materials, much of it, probably, from the very same farmers in these wild Welsh Marches. But there’s something about enjoying rigorously seasonal produce in its rural context which gives The Foxhunter a different kind of gravitas..... The homeliness of the cuisine fits like a glove with the 'rooms' available for overnight guests. The accommodation, which is within 20 metres of the restaurant, consists of Foxhunter Cottage and The Old Stable." [Financial Times]  Read a full review of The Foxhunter in the attached, March 2009 FT article.
