Historic Llanelly House set for autumn opening




Llanelly House is due to open this Autumn after undergoing a £6.5 million restoration of the early 18th century Georgian house.
It will feature Welsh national treasures such as the Stepney Armorial Dinner Service, a painting of Sir John Stepney by Sir Joshua Reynolds and rare grisaille artwork interior.
There will be a projection of the time lapse footage of the restoration and refurbished historic interiors, and guided tours to the upper floors will enable the visitor to step back in time and come face-to-face with past residents -maybe even experience Mira Turner's ghostly presence.
Llanelly House Cafe will offer visitors a taste of the past with a modern twist.
The driving force behind the project is Carmarthenshire Heritage Regeneration Trust.
The Trust has worked closely with Carmarthenshire County Council and with their support has achieved great success in the renovation of Llanelly House.
The Grade One listed Georgian town house is the last of the Big 5 projects for the regeneration of Llanelli town centre.

The new Llanelly House cafe will offer traditional fayre, refined dishes that will do justice to the Welsh Larder.
The menu will include different styles of open sandwiches and wraps, with delicious fillings including Welsh ham and Carmarthenshire cheese, Celtic Pride Beef and fresh salmon.
Dishes that have been inspired by Lady Stepney’s shopping list will also be on the menu such as Welsh rarebit, cockles and laver bread.
New House Chef Manager Anna Brown comments, “We will use local suppliers, especially the Llanelli produce market to source seasonal, top quality ingredients. These will then be used to create simply cooked, tasty dishes that will tickle the taste buds of visitors to Llanelly House and people who just want to come and dine with us in the cafe. And the cafe will of course cater for guests with any special dietary requirements.” The team is looking forward to open its doors to the public and offer a warm welcome, offering a new menu in the most spectacular of surroundings.
