Welsh Rarebit

Welsh rarebit - it's cheese sauce made with beer! How good does that sound? It's real comfort food for these cooler winter days.

Our smoky Gladstone cashew cheese elevates the warmth level, and we have chosen the perfect beer to pair with it. We have used West Street Ale from one of our favourite local craft breweries - Miners Gold in Beaconsfield. I like to think it draws together the mining heritage of both Wales and Beaconsfield.
