'Crispy flowering courgette'
Our menus evolve every season and we do have some signature dishes that have been on our menu from the very beginning. A firm favourite with our guests is the Crispy flowering courgette. Head Chef Hywel Griffith shares his inspiration for the dish.
Crispy flowering courgette
Snowdonia cheese, tomato, olive and basil
Here we have a provencale inspired dish. The courgettes are grown locally in Burry Green, Gower and the creamy punchy filling is made with cheese from my beloved home region of Snowdonia. This dish just screams Summer to me, the freshness and simplicity of the ingredients just captures what Beach House is all aboutโฆ. Local, fresh and honest cooking.

The first time I tasted stuffed courgette flowers was in Lesvos and fell in love with them. Hope to taste yours one day Hwyel when you reopen xx
Well done Hwyl, nice seeing you on TV. We loved your ideas and recipies ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ฅง
Last time I ate one of these was in Ischia. They are so so delicious. Need to taste this ๐๐
Looks lovely so fresh your dishes are fabulous. I grow courgettes in my vegetable patch.
Last time we had courgette flowers was in Rome. No chance of a return visit so hopefully they are on the menu when we can visit you again
Can't wait for you to open . I will definitely be visiting. You made us Welsh very proud of you on TV enjoyed every minute xx Diolch yn fair i chi x
Have missed this when I’ve eaten at the restaurant before, hoping I’ll get to try it if you keep it on the menu in future ๐
I L.O.V.E your courgette flowers - they are just completely scrumptious ๐
Looks fabulous.x
So looking forward to see you reopening ๐ท๐ท
Can’t wait to get back there x
Looks stunning
Can’t wait to come back for this!
This is just torture x

Philip courgette flowers...there’s a theme occurring I think ๐ฝ
โCongratulations and thank youโsโ
Warm congratulations to my fellow competitors Alex Greene, Niall Keating, Tom Barnes, Kerth Gumbs and Ruth Hansom on delivering such a fabulous banquet last night. An amazing achievement for you all and lovely to watch after all that hard work and endeavour.
I had a wonderful time on the Great British Menu series but with all of these things of course there are lots of people who we need to thank.
Melanie Sanders from @chapel58 who lovingly painted โthe onionโ pirate boats, Rodney Bender from Innovative Glass in Clydach for the embossed Twrch Trwth cloches, Ben Thomas at the Slate Workshop in Llanelli for the slate on โthe onionโ, Anthony Kleinberg at Abbey Masonry in Cross Hands who crafted his interpretation of Arthurโs Stone and Claire Evans from Seasalt Pottery who made the bouche bowls, plates and golden egg. Our fabulous designers @monddi in Pembroke who patiently designed my little childrenโs cookbook that beautifully illustrated the inspiration behind each dish. And last but certainly not least Zoe and Neil Kedward, the owners of Beach House Restaurant, who worked closely with myself throughout the process as a sounding board for ideas and much, much more. All of this work was turned around in very short timeframes and so it could not have happened without everybody coming together like they did.
I would also like to thank the producers for inviting myself onto the series. All of us were made to feel very much at home and I personally loved every minute of the challenge, competition and camaraderie that makes the show so special. Also a big thank you to Susan Calman who really did help lighten the atmosphere when we needed it most. Her natural charm and good humour really did make all the difference.
We look forward to welcoming our customers back to Beach House very soon and more information on possible opening dates will follow as soon as we have clarity on that from Welsh Government.
Hywel
๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ congratulations. You made Wales very proud.
Well done Hywel. You did yourself, the restaurant and the country proud. Consistently good dishes and so near to getting to the banquet. Pipped at the post. Really looking forward to you reopening, when this dreadful time is behind us. Your phone will be deluged. Keep safe.
Well... Hywel (and everyone else in the Beach House team)... It was inevitable that as soon as you showed your talent as a chef, but also as soon as you made the lovely Susan laugh, you were going to be the star that we knew you were from the moment we opened the wooden and slate bread box in the first week you opened. I should warn you though about some serious legal consequences! As a lawyer presently working from home I have been drafting some new Welsh legislation to deal with any future crisis. How it works is this... if you are ever offered a place anywhere else the “Hywel Held at Home Just For Us (Wales) Act” will kick in. The First Minister has confirmed that if anyone tries to take you away from Oxwich you will immediately be arrested and held in lockdown in that storage container used by the water sports guys in the car park. You will only be allowed to walk, not drive, and will only be allowed to do essential activities (which in Schedule 22 it specifically says only includes one thing: cooking for us in the Beach House) ๐ Seriously... great couple of weeks watch you shine. One of these days (goodness knows when) we’ll go and catch some Gower fish...
Did Yourself and Wales proud, Hywel. Probably my favourite series of the last couple of years. Be prepared for a party of about 20 of us to celebrate our 40th anniversary next year. โค๏ธ๐
Well done Hywel you did wales proud ๐๐๐๐ Looking forward to bringing my family down XX
Congratulations, well done, loved the whole series, you certainly put your heart and soul into every course you presented, well done Hywel x

You did Gower and Wales proud Hywel....you made a wonderful contribution and put The Beach House rightly on the best places to eat list....well done & hopefully be visiting again soon ๐
Well done, you should feel so proud of yourself, your dishes were amazing, and your professionalism and passion for your craft shone. Can’t wait to be able to visit Oxwich again soon x
We have loved watching you on the show. Congratulations Hywel.๐

Many congratulations to you and all the other individuals who helped you to deliver those stunning props and dishes themselves.Can't wait for the Beach House to open again.You are the pride of Wales, showing great character and cameraderie with the rest of the chefs on the show.

'Great British Menu'
What a week it has been and we're sure you'll agree it has been an absolute pleasure to watch our Head Chef Hywel Griffith compete in this year's series of #greatbritishmenu and represent Wales.
From winning the Welsh heats, to coming in the top 3 twice, throughout the series Hywel has not only demonstrated his first class culinary skills but has shown the nation what we see everyday, which is the genuine, humble and friendly guy.
We can't wait to watch the banquet tonight and wish all the remaining chefs the best of luck!
Well done Hywel, as always we are so very proud of you.
Can’t wait for you to open, waiting to travel from Cydweli Carmarthenshire to eat xxx
So near, yet so far. I would quite happily demolish any of the dishes you’ve cooked up through the last couple of weeks. You’ve done Gower and Wales proud. Can’t wait for our 40th anniversary meal at the Beach House, next year. Fingers crossed life has some normality back by then. ๐๐โค๏ธ๐
Watching Hywel on GBM has definitely encouraged us to visit your restaurant. Well done Hywel! We're not too far away, so hope to visit soon.
Well done Hywel for a great effort. Thought you were unlucky with the Peacock Pie and the Golden Egg! Would love to see both on the Beach House menu ๐๐ป
I cannot get into messenger owing to my change of email address and the Facebook and messenger are not compatible. However with my daughter living in Horton I might come to your restaurant once this continuous virus allows us.
Really enjoyed seeing you on the programme I thought you made fabulous food and deserved to cook at the banquet. Will eat again at your restaurant soon I hope best of luck
So unlucky with the golden egg, should have won with that ๐ What a grand job though and your personality really shone through. Can’t wait to come and taste your food again soon. Well done! ๐
Have loved watching the last week, you have done Wales proud.
Well done Hywel ... you should have been cooking in the banquet .... you definitely had the best desert!!๐ฅฐ๐ฅxxx
Great work Hywel. Fantastic representation for Wales and The Beach House . xx
Absolutely - as much as his food looked literally incredible, I loved how gracious and encouraging he was towards the other chefs. respect,H. That’s rare x
I’ve been rooting for Hywel all week. Only been lucky to get in with you once, but can’t wait to come again. ๐โค๏ธ
Hywel huge congratulations you are an excellent chef and a natural on TV! Book me a table for whenever you have a guest chefs GBM night it will be amazing! We are so lucky to have you and Beach House in Swansea. We just need you to be able to open up again xx
Well done Hywel, you were very unlucky but your food looked outstanding. Llongyfarchiadau mawr ๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ
Can't agree more! Can't wait till we can come to the Gower once more. Think the Orton family will be planning a massive reunion at the beach house. Well done and every good wish for you all in these trying times.
Well Done Hywel. Loved the series and look forward to visiting The Beach House for the first time. ๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ
Hywel, hard luck!Robbed at the last by inferior desserts.Even the rest of the pros thought u would get it!! We are all very proud of the way you performed, the way you helped other chefs out, your honest comments on tasting other chefs dishes and the way you came over on tv, unhurried, in control with a big grin on your face!!You obviously enjoyed being there, hope you get another opportunity!!Loved watching you work to produce your dishes!!Hope to see you in the Beach House once this Covid madness is over!!
We've eaten a fair few times at the Beach House, so are aware of Hwyel's fabulous culinary skills but his personality really really shone through too. It's funny how that also makes you decide whether or not you'd like to eat at a chef's establishment. So looking forward to coming back.
Well done Hywel. You did Wales proud. We were going to come to your restaurant for our anniversary in April but couldn’t because of the lockdown. We’ll definitely be paying a visit when we can ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Loved every minute, and yes very generous and humble when tasting everyone else’s , which couldn’t always be said for the others ... I do hope the peacock pie and the golden egg shows their faces at the Beach house ๐ฅฐ
Well done! Hope some of those dishes will be on the menu when you’re able to reopen the Beach House ๐
Well done Hywel, what a week it’s been! Loved watching you and your food looked stunning. x
I hope we see some of the ideas on the Beach House menu! Can’t wait for you to reopen! Xxx
Huge Congratulations Hywel you were amazing and did yourself proud, Wales and The Beach House well done
Well done Hywel ! You did Wales proud! So close ! ๐X
We were on the edge of our seats watching Hywel on last nights #greatbritishmenu.
What a great achievement to get to the final three chefs, it was so close with only 1 point difference. His โKing Arthur Peacock Pieโ and medieval banquet was really something special.
We canโt wait to watch tonight where the chefs will be competing for the dessert course and Hywel will be serving his fabulous โGolden Eggโ. BBC2, 8pm.
Great British Menu
Only one point. It’s tight at the top. Da iawn Hywel. Fingers crossed for tonight ๐
Nail biting stuff ๐คฆ๐ผโ๏ธ ‘come on’ the egg ๐๐ป
Well done Hywel, your Golden Egg should do it, good luck x
Hard lines Hywel You'll have to add your dishes to the menu
As soon as we are out of lockdown I will come to eat your gold egg.
Fab last night. Now bring on the dessert. I want a golden egg

Soooo close! ๐คฆ What a professional, well done Hywel. You and your food are coming across as top class, which we, who have been fortunate enough to eat at The Beach House, already knew. Can't wait wait to get back there.
Well done Hywel you've done Wales and yourself proud and not forgetting The Beach House looking forward to dessert
Thought it was the best one there!!Hywel shows his mettle by not stressing on being a little late on service, ensuring his pie was cooked properly before serving it to the judges.He is also very helpful to all the other chefs!!Good luck tonight, hope the Golden Egg is your golden ticket to the banquet!!
Brilliant night so close ๐ฆ ๐ฅง
Well done Hywel. Amazing cooking as usual. You have certainly brought to the attention of the whole UK how excellent is the quality of Welsh chefs and Welsh produce.
Can’t wait to have another fab dining experience @ the BH ! Love the way most chefs help each other out when on a deadline but the judges are so annoying
really thought you deserved to win with your amazing main course ๐๐ you did Wales proud
Hywel was brilliant - unflappable and very honest about his talented rivals. Can’t wait to eat his food again soon!
So close with only one point separating all three chefs! Pob Lwc heno Hywel! ๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ
The pie looked amazing! Hope he does it tonight with dessert!
Hoping it makes its way onto the beach house’s menu! Fingers crossed ๐ค x
great dish... making Wales proud
Well done , it was so close
I thought he nailed it last night .
Well done Hywel.
Yes, he did eat the last bit of crumpet!
Weโve loved watching Hywel and Susan bond through this series of #greatbritishmenu, what a great addition to the programme she has been.
Donโt forget to tune in to tonightโs episode on BB2, 8pm to see Hywel serve his delicious King Arthur inspired โPeacock Pieโ.
I would love to see your Great British Menu Main Course ‘King Arthur’s Stone Peacock Pie’ served at the Beach House ๐
Hywel. We will be cheering you on x

We watched tonight with bated breath Hywel! So proud... one point in it behind a stunning main course in fairness. I have said to Lee throughout... “the Egg will get there... the Egg will do it”. Roll on tomorrow. What has been great to see as well is what a natural you are on there. Confident in your own talent but so generous with the others... a born TV star
I really think she likes him. She is so funny and Hywel responds well to her ๐๐๐๐
Well done tonight getting closer maybe your pudding will do the trick good luck tomorrow ๐
Brilliant chemistry with those two, really enjoy watching them.
Perfect Gentleman , also calm cool and collect and saved the best for last
I think Susan is a great addition as well. Good luck Hywel
Loved the pirate theme. I'm not sure if Hywel is aware he comes from a line of Welsh sea captains. His Nain and my mum were sisters ๐
Good luck for tomorrow. You’re making Wales proud x
We are so hoping you get through xx
Aww gutted you come second tonight Hywel well done thou
Hywel will be disappointed to come 3rd in the starters for his Legend of Twrch Trwyth. All his dishes were delicious as we were fortunate enough to test them all, so we are still hopeful that he gets to the banquet with one of his remaining courses.
Watch the fish course final tonight at 8pm on BBC2.
Only the true king can draw the sword from the stone..prove it tonight!!Good luck!!We are all rooting for you
Keeping everything crossed for tonight.

He was unlucky. Any other year he would have come top. The standard was incredibly high last night. Fingers crossed for this evening!
Would love to try that dish. Please put it on the menu when you reopen, it was clearly delicious ๐ the judges loved it.
Hello, are you answering Facebook messages? I’ve tried calling as well with no luck Beach House Restaurant, Oxwich thank you
Doing great work and so cool ๐ Pob lwc Hywel ๐ค๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐๐๐
Get your pirate vibe on and pressgang the judges into awarding you 1st place(plaice?? cos its fish!!) You deserve it!!A yo ho ho and a bottle of rum might also do the trick!!
Hywel did well onwards and upwards good luck for the rest of the dishes
So close between the top three, I thought... fingers crossed for tonight.
All the best for tonight!
He was unlucky indeed, but also so fortunate to do so well with the starter dish, at his 1st time of being in the competition, well done Hywel Griffith laaaaa, doing n.wales so proud. Roll on the pirate ship I say, thats a winner for sure.... and the pudding....
He was unlucky it looked delicious
All the best Hywel.

First thing we will do when allowed is to head across Gower to breath out a heavy sigh of relief and breath in those incredible aromas... In the meantime tonight Lee Evans and I will be riveted to the TV watching Episode 2. Go Hywel you can do this!!
I thought his fish dish was fantastic... I’m so looking forward to going back to the Beach House when all this is lifted... it has to be one of my most favourite restaurants ๐
Congratulations Hywel Well done!
What a start for Head Chef Hywel Griffith on tonightโs #greatbritishmenu. His starter dish is inspired by the Legend of Twrch Trwyth, where he served a pigs cheek, with an onion puree & pickled pear.
Big thank you to Rodney Bender from Innovative Glass in Clydach for the embossed clocheโs which were wonderful.

'Our Laverbread Bread Recipe'
Thanks again for your messages of support and we do hope to see you all soon!
Now, we know some of our regular guests are especially missing Hywel's special laverbread bread so in order to have a bit of Beach House at home, Hywel is sharing his recipe!
Good luck and we look forward to seeing your pictures,
x
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recipe: We use 1/2lb tins for the bread here at Beach House but you can use whatever size you prefer. This batch will make approx. 12 mini loafs which are great for dinner parties and are suitable to freeze.
Recipe
350g Water
1g Dried yeast
275g Extra strong bread flour
Mix all ingredients well, clingfilm bowl and allow to prove overnight, the dough will triple in size and then fall slightly. The mix should be like a thick batter at this stage.
1050g Extra strong flour
24g Salt
5g Dried yeast
271g Ice cold water
Place all ingredients in a bowl with a dough hook, mix on a slow speed for 1 minute, add the starter dough then continue to mix for 30 minutes on a slow speed.
The dough by this stage should be springy, damp to touch but not wet and sticky and have a slight sheen to it. Cover with clingfilm and allow to prove to twice the size in a cool environment (not in the fridge but not some where hot or in direct sunlight).
300g laver bread
250g giant oats
Cold water
When the dough has doubled in size, tip out on to a floured bench and knock the dough back.
For the 1/2lb tins take 185g of dough and pin out to 1cm thick. Place a layer of laver bread over the dough and fold over. Brush with the cold water and roll in the giant oats. Place in to the greased tins.
Once all dough is used then clingfilm the tins lightly to allow to prove once again in a cool environment, the dough will prove over double in size.
Bake at 210c for 14 minutes.
Chefs tip - when placing the bread in to bake throw some water into the base of the oven to generate steam, this is what gives the awesome crust to the bread.
If you have frozen the loaves, once defrosted bake for 3-4min in a 160c oven to reheat.
๐คno 1/2 lb loaf tins. Let’s see what happens tomorrow. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I am coeliac and often find eating out to be quite a stressful experience, except for when I visit the Beach House. It is by far my favourite restaurant; the staff are knowledgeable, reassuring and the food (especially adapted from the menu to be coeliac-suitable) is out of this world. Last time I came with my family, I was served an amazing homemade gluten free loaf. Could you possibly share the recipe for that? I’ve never had any success making my own!
It is delicious.... happy memories โค๏ธ
Omg omg no I haven’t..now you’ll definitely have to find your flour๐คฃ๐คฃ
Look forward to attempting the recipe... it won’t taste the same without the views. Look forward to be back when this is over. Thank you for sharing!
Great let me just find some lava bread in middle England ๐ง. Gutted love this bread! Frantically search for frozen lava bread!!!
This is my favourite, it’s just the best. ๐๐๐
We will come with you. XX ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐ฌ๐ธ
