Hello,
We would like to introduce ourselves, We are Richard &
Caroline Treble and we will be the new proprietors of the Llindir Inn from
the end of November 2007.
Caroline, originally from Yorkshire,
arrived in Bangor in 1997 to study English Literature at the university,
this was after spending several years in Greece (you may see some Greek
influences on the menus !). After Caroline had completed her degree in
English she felt her passion was to work with the mentally ill so took
up a career in mental health nursing.
I was born in
a place called Ormskirk, Lancashire. I spent several years at
college studying to be a chef. I have cooked in several hotels the
most well known being "Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons" with Raymond
Blanc. For the past seven years I have been lecturing in cookery and
hotel management at a college in Bangor. I have run a public house
before but decided to move into teaching when my two daughters came
along (better hours), I always promised myself that when they were
old enough I would run a pub again.
Don't let
the fact that I have worked in very expensive restaurants put anyone
off as we intend doing food that is simple and excellent value, we
also aim to use food that has been locally produced.
We would
love to hear from local butchers, fishmongers, dairies, bakers
and fruit and vegetable suppliers. We are hoping to eventually have
a picture with a few details about each local supplier we use on the
walls of the restaurant
