Situated in the beautiful surroundings of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Number 18 in the heart of the small town of Crickhowell is perfectly located for shopping and is en route to many local outdoor pursuits. Its modern British and Welsh brasserie and café menus cater to the needs of your appetite whether it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

A leisurely meal could begin with laverbread and Welsh mature Cheddar cheese soufflé or carpaccio of smoked salmon with blinis. Alternatively, try the prawn cocktail with a twist which offers pan fried tiger prawns with an avocado, garlic and red chilli salsa and a crumbled pancetta garnish. A sumptuous main course option such as breast of pheasant with pan fried Brussels sprouts and garlic dauphinoise potatoes or rack of pork served on a bed of glazed root vegetables and topped with black pudding, gives the meal its substance. Dessert of triple chocolate torte or fig and almond pudding is a festive enough note on which to conclude. Take your pick from a range of wines, beers, lagers and ciders to refresh the palate.
