Welcome to the Three Salmons Hotel Usk Blog - news, events and special offers.
I believe in making use of what is fresh and around us, so in the pouring early morning Cardiff rain I Walked slowly through the forest where wild garlic leaf naturally grows, and now graces our menu, ganishing fresh haddock and flavouring our risotto.
Enjoy

It’s that time again when I can bring you all the good news regarding our refurbishment, and I am pleased to say that we have now completed a further 3 bathrooms in the Main Coach House. Narduzzo from Newport have done an outstanding job fitting all the Villeroy & Boch bath suites, making it the perfect accompaniment to the newly refurbished bedrooms. I can’t wait to start the next set!
Well done all round

As we see the back of the frost for now, its time to find the crops available to us, I have already heard that my personal favourite, purple sprouting, has been ruined by the harsh frost, so lets see if I can find another favourite.
I’ll keep you posted

On behalf of all the staff here at the Three Salmons Hotel, I would like to wish all of our guests a very Happy New Year! And what a fantastic end to our first year it has been. Christmas eve here at the Hotel saw Cwm Male Choir singing carols in the bar, creating a incredible atmosphere around the place, which lead fantastically into Christmas day. As James has said, the ambiance and food in the restaurant was exceptional, with Christmas day already booking up for 2011. New Years Eve saw our restaurant fully booked once again, with most of our party goers seeing midnight in with “Auld Lang Syne” in the square, which is a local tradition I am lead to believe.
As a person once said to me “Your Merry Christmas may depend on what others do for you. But your Happy New Year depends on what you do for others.” Have a great 2011!

The festive season has now passed and what a great time was had by all, Christmas eve saw our special menu enjoyed by many, as well as Christmas day being one of the most enjoyable I worked in my 17 year career, proving in my opinion that well cared for welsh beef is some of the best I’ve ever used, only to be beaten by the welsh beef I cooked on new years eve, thanks to a well sourced supplier.
happy new year
look forward to seeing you in the coming year

Liz and her team from “Upmarket Flowers” in the town have done a fantastic job with all our decorations this year, at the Hotel. The 10foot real tree, towering in reception is just one of 5 trees around the hotel, adding to the garlands and hand-made wreaths to give that festive, Christmas feel. Great job all round!

These last two weeks have seen the return of the decorators, and although not yet finished, the exterior of the property is already starting to gleam under thanks to its new coat of paint and refurbishment. With the front and side of the property still left to be painted and minor refurbishment on the windows, we here are all excited to see the finished product.

As we head deeper in to winter, I have been able to make a few sub- season menu changes, introducing organic chicken and foie gras terrine, wild sea bass, braised shoulder of lamb, roasted duck breast and of course, pan roasted salmon, white bean cassoulette, spring onions and chestnut mushrooms.
There are also a couple of new additions to our bar menu, so whether you are looking for a quick bite and a pint in the bar or a more relaxed restaurant dining experience with good food, wine, service and surroundings then we look forward to seeing you.
