About us

Situated in the idyllic village of Machen, the Fwrrwm Ishta offers the rarest of experiences, restaurant quality food and service in the comfortable surroundings of a traditional pub.

Atmosphere

Relaxed dining is our ethos; we strive to create an atmosphere that is never stuffy, always comfortable. It is displayed in every aspect of the restaurant, the menu, the décor and the service ensuring that you always feel at ease.

Décor

The Fwrrwm is a renowned establishment from years gone by, it is fondly remembered as a traditional pub. We have encompassed the traditional aspects and given it a contemporary twist where bare stonewalls are hung with contemporary art, oak panelling combine with leather sofas and fire-lit lounges merge with halogen lighting. The result is a cosy atmosphere that is warm, friendly and inviting.

Food

Seasonal dishes using local ingredients feature strongly on our menus, with the addition of international flavours and cooking techniques your selection can be as traditional or as modern as you choose. With the choice of our seasonal A'la Carte, weekly changing fish specials board and early diner set menu there is always a dish to suit all tastes. To view our various menus take a look at our menu page, which is updated with each menu change.
