Wales: Details of Food Hygiene Failures of Two Michelin Star Restaurant – “Ynyshir” – That Charges Over £400 Per 30-Course Dinner! (12.2.2026)

In January a spokesman said: “At Ynyshir, we take food safety and hygiene extremely seriously and are committed to maintaining the highest possible standards for our guests.

“Following a recent routine inspection by the local authority, a number of administrative and procedural actions were identified for improvement. We take this outcome seriously and have already addressed these points in full. We are currently working closely and cooperatively with Environmental Health and have requested an early reinspection in line with the council’s guidance.

“Ynyshir operates with cooking techniques and processes heavily influenced by Japanese ingredients and methodologies. This approach involves specialised preparation and handling practices that differ from conventional kitchen operations. We operate at the highest professional level and are proud to work with some of the finest suppliers and ingredients from across the globe.

A hotel spokesman said the building stopped housing homeless people about two years ago.

Paul Wells, the council’s Conservative portfolio holder for licensing, said the authority was “delighted” with the ruling, which “sets a precedent for all local authorities that want to improve housing standards for residents”.
