Head Chef

Dan Andree

Dan always knew he wanted a career in the kitchen and his first job was at the Priory in Wareing, before he then began his apprenticeship at Springfield Hotel in Dorset.

He built up experience working in a range of establishments, from gastro pubs to hotel kitchens, learning how to manage all sections of the kitchen and develop menus. He joined Hywel in the Beach House kitchen in 2020 and has had a big influence on elevating the new tasting menus since joining the team.

Always up for a challenge, Dan’s entered and won various culinary competitions, and brought back two gold medals from the 2022 Welsh International Culinary Championship.

Outside of the restaurant, Dan likes to stay pretty active and can usually be found in the gym, playing golf, out fishing, and foraging.

Restaurant Manager

Georgia Wild

Born and raised right here in Dolgellau, Welsh-speaking Georgia has always adored the beauty and tranquillity of the Welsh countryside.

Her journey in the hospitality industry began as an Assistant Restaurant Manager at Pale Hall Hotel, which sits on the east side of the Eryri National Park. Here she gained her first experience in a fine-dining restaurant in an historic hotel. She left the hotel world for a while to take a managerial position at Coesfaen Spa and Lodge in Barmouth, overseeing the day-to-day operations, while getting her first experience of a rewarding team management role. Keen to fulfil her aspiration to become a Restaurant Manager, she took on the role of Assistant Restaurant Manager at Fynnon Boutique Hotel in Dolgellau, where she gained a wealth of experience and further developed her people management skills. She then joined the Penmaenuchaf team in autumn 2022, and since joining our team, has continued to thrive. With her warm smile, can-do attitude and kind nature, she’s quickly become an integral part of our family here at Penmaenuchaf.   

Kitchen Gardens

Our ingredients

Our menu is inspired by our extraordinary location and the rich larder in North Wales. All our ingredients are of the highest quality and the best the season has to offer, and supplied by our local community of excellent producers alongside what we grow in our small kitchen garden.

As all our food is prepared freshly in the hotel, we can cater for most dietary requirements with notice. Please advise us of any dietary requirements and allergies when making your booking.
