Credit crunch lunch

Western Mail

April 18, 2026

As rising costs affect the hospitality industry, restaurants are having to get creative to lure diners in.

One celebrated Welsh venue has introduced a reduced price lunch menu using affordable quality produce, as Huw S Thomas reportsHERE are no fewer than 47 Welsh restaurants in the 2026 Michelin Guide, ranging from the luxurious two-star Ynyshir in Machynlleth down to the more modest Talbot in Tregaron.

But I don't think any can hope to match the extraordinary value £20 three-course lunch served up from Wednesday to Saturday at the Carmarthenshire gem that is Y Polyn.

The family-run restaurant has neither stars nor Bib Gourmand status - just a modest Michelin recommended status and inclusion in the Good Food Guide - but continues, without failure, to offer top-quality produce, prepared without extravagance or pretention at a cost which puts many a Welsh starred restaurant to complete shame.

Simple ingredients have been magically conjured to give dishes an intensity of taste enough to turn heads and stop any conversation in its tracks.
