Cemlyn Tea Shop, Harlech

In the early days of his reign Edward I implemented many legal reforms. This led to war with Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. After supressing numerous resulting rebellions Edward was obliged to build a string of castles across Wales. These castles were always sited where they could easily receive supplies. Harlech castle was no exception as the sea once came all the way up to the base of the cliffs beneath the castle.




In a spirit of political transparency we investigated an alternative method of selecting bread, cheese and pickles. The methodology in question, known as Welst Rarebit, guarantees a perfect bread-to-cheese ratio. Though some practioners would argue that somewhat misses the point. The implementation we sampled had light but varied foliage and tastefully presented pickle. The tea augmentation was more than satisfactory.
