Ruthin Craft Centre, Park Road, Ruthin, Denbighshire, LL15 1BB
If you can find Rhuthun (Ruthin), you can find the craft centre. It is off the ‘main’ roundabout and brown signed from the town centre, right opposite the big Tesco. If you just want a quick sandwich or wrap, then there you go: Tesco superstore. If you would like a quality, individually prepared-to-order light lunch, then the craft centre café is a satisfying solution. After browsing the galleries - with what have been impeccably selected exhibitions lately - and craft shop, a civilized chat over coffee and cake in the ‘modern’ surroundings of the café rounds things off nicely. You can eat in the designer-ish cafe, with black and white photography on the walls, or on a nice day sit out on the terrace. In itself, the food is worth a visit if you are in the area and although it may appear a little more costly than snacks from the superstore, you do get what you pay for.
Good value option is the soup and a sandwich deal: freshly made sandwiches on bread of your choice served with the soup of the day for £5.75. The broccoli and stilton soup with (free range) egg mayonnaise sandwich and side salad is pictured here and was really good. The soup was delicious and warming with good texture and creamy flavour, and the fresh (granary) bread of the sandwich was generously filled. The coffee was a crowd-pleasing blend that went down smooth, served black. Colleagues also went for the soup and sandwich combo, one with ham and the other with Welsh farmhouse cheese – both devoured them with obvious relish and enjoyed refreshing pots of tea. On previous visits the carrot cake, chocolate sponges and cheesecakes have all been of very good quality – making cakes a craft in their own right!Check out their website for more info...
