Best Bistro/Brasserie
of the Year
Award 2011

The ethos behind Lastra Farm Hotel has always been to create a dining and hospitality experience rather than just a good feed!

Sourcing local ingredients wherever possible and believing in a creative journey from field to plate, Lastra Farm is passionate about its food.  The mystery diners from the award panel, who visited the hotel undercover, commented that they had an excellent evening with very attentive (but not intrusive) staff and of course superb food. 

They particularly liked the way the local producers and suppliers were promoted in every menu under the Food Hero heading and this is something that the Lastra team cares deeply about.

 

Best Small Hotel
of the Year 2011

Lastra Farm Hotel was established as a hotel and restaurant 31 years ago and it constantly strives to improve service and food standards by setting trends, not following them. Every staff member, from the head chef to the porter, being an integral part of the hotel’s success and involved in its day to day running. 

The Judges said they were impressed with the hotel’s Sense of Place, very high level of occupancy and the glowing internet comments on 'Trip Advisor'. Yet we're not standing still, as there is a refurbishment programme currently under way with new internet access being installed, a complete electrical refit and an update of the decor in the main restaurant.

We like to think that Lastra Farm is something more than just a Hotel. It's a way of life we share with our guests and friends so, as we say in Welsh, "Croeso!" or "Welcome!"

We hope, by that winning these awards, we can have a positive impact on visitors’ perceptions about the outstanding levels of quality that Anglesey has to offer."

"We've always been passionate about putting Anglesey on the tourist map. These awards, along with the other recent achievements of Lastra Farm, will allow us to do that with even more confidence.

We're really upbeat about the tourism year ahead for the island, and Elaine and I would like to say 'Thank you' not only to everyone that voted for us, but also to our growing band of  loyal guests who return again and 
again, and whom we have to thank for making the running of Lastra farm such a worthwhile experience."
