Great British Menu 2020: Hywel Griffith, Wales heat
Hywel Griffith is the head chef and director of Beach House Restaurant in Oxwich.
Launched in June 2016, the beachside restaurant was named AA Restaurant of the year in Wales the following year, and became the sixth restaurant in Wales to receive a Michelin star in the 2020 guide.
Born and raised in town of Bethesda in Gwynedd, North-Wales, Hywel knew he wanted to be a chef when he was just 13 years old.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
