Café culture has been a part of
Valleys’ life for many years.
Generations of Italian immigrants
opened cafes, fish and chip shops
and ice-cream parlours and many
of these eateries are still open today,
offering delicious food and a
warm welcome.
Our independent restaurants and
pubs serve home-cooked, authentic
meals, or you can treat yourself to
fine dining in country house hotels,
such as Miskin Manor and Ty
Newydd. Whether it’s a trattoria or
Thai restaurant you are looking for,
you are guaranteed to find fine food.
If you fancy a tipple, there is an array
of wonderful pubs to choose from -
and many of these are accredited
under the national Best Bar None
scheme to ensure they offer a great
social experience.
Local breweries such as the Otley
Brewery create their own delicious
beers, ales and ciders. Gwynt y Draig
produces cider and the Penderyn
Distillery, nestled in the foothills of the
Brecon Beacons, produces award-
winning whisky and offers tours for
visitors.
