A Pembrokeshire hotel with an award-winning chef and restaurant will feature on a cult television competition show today (Monday, November 4).
Fishguard’s Abergwaun Hotel is one of the four hotels and B&Bs competing in Channel 4’s Four in a Bed.
Owners Dan and Lois are first to host the other B&B owners at the hotel above the award-winning restaurant on Fishguard Square.
The couple took over the former pub after it had undergone a complete renovation from local nightspot to classy restaurant with rooms.
Since then the restaurant JT Abergwaun has scooped Outstanding Restaurant of the Year award at Food Awards Wales.
Chef Dan has also won Pub Chef of the Year at the International Salon Culinaire awards.
“We have grown from a little pop-up restaurant, to a restaurant, to a hotel and managed to keep the same standards,” said Dan after winning the restaurant award.
“Everything we’ve done puts Fishguard on the foodie map.”
The hotel is also well-known and respected for its £10 OAP and community Christmas lunch which is happening for the second year running in Fishguard Town Hall this year.
