The three Welsh gastropubs on a list of the 50 best in the UK are within a 30-mile radius of each other. Two of the pubs are only five miles apart.
The first Welsh entry is the Felin Fach Griffin in Brecon at 30, followed at 31 by The Hardwick at Abergavenny, and The Black Bear Inn at Bettws Newydd, near Usk, is 42nd on the list.
Pubs across the UK have been recognised for their food in the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs list 2023. Top of the list was The Parkers Arms in Clitheroe, Lancashire, voted number two last year.
