A new summer menu arriving at Ty'r Winch

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 15:43:39 GMT

A New Summer Menu Is Arriving at Ty’r Winch

We’ve been working on this one for a while.

Our new summer menu will be arriving at Ty’r Winch next week — a refresh of some of our most popular dishes, alongside a handful of new additions we’re really excited about.

As always, the focus is simple: good ingredients, cooked properly, and dishes you’ll want to come back for.

This latest menu will bring a lighter feel for the warmer months, with a mix of seasonal flavours, fresh ingredients, and a few stronger, richer dishes still there for those who know exactly what they like.

Some of our favourites have been refined, and a number of new dishes will be introduced across the menu — all designed to sit comfortably alongside what Ty’r Winch has become known for.

Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed lunch, an evening meal, or something a little more special, the new menu is designed to suit every occasion.

To celebrate the launch, we’ll be offering 25% off all new dishes from Wednesday to Saturday during launch week .

It’s a great opportunity to come and try something new, and to experience the menu from day one.

Spanish Tapas & Wine Pairing Evening

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 21:38:15 GMT

A Spanish Tapas & Wine Pairing Evening at Ty’r Winch

There are some evenings that come together effortlessly — and our recent Spanish Tapas & Wine Pairing Night was certainly one of them.

Hosted in our upstairs function suite, the evening began with a glass of fizz on arrival, before guests were guided through a carefully curated six-course tapas menu — each dish thoughtfully paired with wines selected to complement and elevate every flavour.

Our kitchen, led by Sam alongside Spanish chef Jimmy Miranda, created a menu that stayed true to traditional Spanish influences while still feeling refined and generous. From rustic breads and cured meats to rich, slow-cooked dishes and delicate seafood, each course was designed to be enjoyed, shared and savoured.

The wine element was at the heart of the evening. Hosted by our sommelier Tristan Hawkins, guests were taken through each pairing with a relaxed, informative approach — offering insight into the wines, their origins, and why they worked so well with each dish. It added a real sense of occasion, without ever feeling formal.

It was a pleasure to host the evening alongside Tristan, and to see guests fully embracing the experience — trying new wines, discovering new favourites, and enjoying the journey from start to finish.

What really made the night, though, was the atmosphere. A full room, tables chatting between courses, glasses being raised, and that warm, easy feeling that comes when everything just flows as it should.

We’d like to say a genuine thank you to everyone who joined us. These evenings are something we truly enjoy putting together, and it was great to share it with so many of you.

We’ll certainly be hosting more evenings like this in the near future.
