Cooked to order by Ffion, from twenty miles or less
Breakfast and local produce
Breakfast is the reason half our guests come back: bacon and sausage from the butcher on Stone Street, eggs from Myddfai, bread baked here at six, cockles and laverbread from Penclawdd, cooked to order and served in the old counter room.

Ffion grew up on a farm above Myddfai and still buys the eggs from her cousin. Everything on the breakfast menu comes from within twenty miles of Broad Street, apart from the tea, the coffee, and the cockles and laverbread, which are worth the forty miles from Penclawdd.
It is cooked to order between half past seven and half past nine on weekdays and eight and ten at the weekend, in the room where the post office counter was: the brass grille is still on the wall. The full Welsh comes with laverbread and cockles if you want them, which about half our guests do once they have tried them; there is a vegetarian full with a Glamorgan sausage, and gluten-free and dairy-free versions of everything if you tell us.
For a long day on the hill there is an early tray at six by arrangement, and a packed lunch of a filled roll, a Welsh cake, fruit and a flapjack for £9.50, ordered by nine the night before. The breakfast page has the whole menu and where each thing comes from.

Questions about breakfast
Can non-residents come for breakfast?
At the weekend, from half past eight, if there is a table: £14 for the full Welsh, or ring the night before to be sure.
What are laverbread and cockles?
Laverbread is seaweed cooked down to a dark purée, fried in oatmeal; the cockles are from the Burry Inlet at Penclawdd. Together they are the traditional Welsh breakfast. Try a spoonful before you decide.
