More info A 300-year-old pub has undergone a £1m revamp with a classic motorsports theme. The Bryntirion Inn has reopened its doors at the gates of the five-star Palé Hall Hotel at Llandderfel. near Bala, Gwynedd. Owners Anthony and Donna Cooper-Barney said the new gastropub-with-rooms reflects their ongoing vision to expand the estate's presence and deliver something "distinctly local for both guests and the community" The Bryntirion dates back to 1695. Inside, the inn is now divided between a dining room with 60 covers and a characterful bar area framed by original stone walls, exposed beams and cosy fireplaces. Adding a distinctively personal touch, Anthony Cooper-Barney has curated a display of classic car and motorsport memorabilia from his private collection throughout the inn, making The Bryntirion a must-visit for car enthusiasts exploring the breathtaking roads of Eryri. Heading up the kitchen is Head Chef Tristan Fitt, whose pedigree includes Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Lords of the Manor Hotel in the Cotswolds, Wheeler's Oyster Bar in Whitstable and The Westbury, Mayfair. Tristan works closely with local producers to create elevated pub classics, championing the finest Welsh ingredients. All vegetables are supplied by local grower Keith Jones, at Ty Uchaf Farm, while eggs come from Caepant Eggs, both just five minutes down the road in Llandderfel. All meat is sourced from respected Bala butcher TJ Roberts, including 28-day aged Welsh Black ribeye and local pork chops. The Bryntirion also welcomes guests to stay, offering six individually styled bedrooms, each named after a Welsh mountain and displaying striking landscape photography of its namesake in each room. Anthony Cooper-Barney said: "We are thrilled to introduce The Bryntirion Inn as the latest part of the Palé Hall Estate. This project is especially close to my heart – it has given me the perfect place to share my classic car collection, while creating a true village pub where locals can feel at home.
