New Name & Spring Menu At yrEos
Nanteos Mansion in Ceredigion has announced a new
name for their restaurant, yrEos, alongside the launch of a
new spring menu. Eos means the nightingale bird, which
reflects the nightingales that once lived near the stream on
the estate.
The new spring menu includes starters of salt baked
beetroot and cured pork belly, with starters priced from
£7. Main courses include cannon of Welsh lamb, Welsh
lamb navarin, traditional fish and chips, slow cooked rib
of beef and Welsh rib eye steak. Main courses are priced
from £13.50 to £23.50.
Built in 1738, Nanteos is a beautiful 22-bedroom
Georgian house located on a 30-acre country estate close
to Aberystwyth. The estate consists of woodland and
private parkland and the historic house sits against the
backdrop of the rugged Cambrian Mountains. The hotel
boasts unrivalled views of the lake and surrounding Welsh
countryside.
yrEos is open for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner every day. Sunday lunch is served from
12 until 2.30pm, with a traditional roast that changes weekly.
Head chef, Gerwyn Jones, began work at Nanteos in 2013, under chef patron, Nigel
Jones. Gerwyn went on to work at Ynyshir for several years, before returning to Nanteos as
head chef in 2016. Gerwyn is originally from West Wales and grew up in the local area, he
aims to source produce from local suppliers wherever possible, focusing on the best tasting
ingredients. His signature dish is cured pork belly with apple terrine which is featured on the
five course tasting menu. There are five and eight course tasting menus available every day,
starting from £50 per person. All menus change with the seasons.

Environmental Improvements
A Gwynedd councillor has recently teamed up with various agencies to improve his village’s local environment and amenities.
Councillor Peter Garlick, Bontnewydd, has led on the project to clear litter in his ward and has also transformed a former
roadside recycle centre on the outskirts of the village into an attractive sitting area for locals and passers-by on the busy road
nearby. Councillor Garlick has been busy collecting litter throughout his ward since being elected and has recently teamed up
with Keep Wales Tidy and Gwynedd Council’s Tidy Towns, who both supported his efforts and supplied him with equipment.
The local housing association Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd have also been part of the partnership helping the councillor to
tidy up and transform the redundant recycle centre, together with the local
primary school children from Ysgol Bontnewydd and local PCSOs.
Councillor Garlick said: “There is great potential in our village and we all
need communities that we can be proud of. It’s surprising what can be done
by doing the little things, such as litter picking, cutting grass and also, with
a little imagination, transforming a bit of an eyesore into an amenity area
for the community. This was all done quite easily really and, as residents, we
are very grateful for the charitable donations and co-operation with all the
agencies involved, together with the community councils.”
