Sorry Hugo but it isn't on the Orme. I wish I could think up some clever cryptic clues like you do but I am hopeless on that sort of thing.
However here is a clue, it is not too far from a recently renamed road.

It's near Bodysgallen Hall just off Wormhout Way - maybe!    _))*

Close, it is in the drive behind the 1620 Bistro at Bodysgallen Hall.

Yes, but not in the bistro. We ate in the main house dining room.
We had the excellent value lunch menu which is £19 for two courses and £23 for three.
I had smoked salmon with poached egg and asparagus, roast lamb with cabbage and fennel potatoes and creme brulee with shortbread. It was all delicious with excellent service and we were sat at the table in the window which has a beautiful view, (see photo below).
All this and you can feel that you are helping the National Trust!

That sounds absolutely delicious and you've made me want to book a meal now.      $good$   
I must admit that I prefer the main house restaurant to the 1620 bistro and last time we were at the main house we also sat at that same table that you were at.  It's really good value and a lovely experience too.

Sounds absolutely fantastic!  Do they by any chance do a Pensioner's rate?  Or could me and the Mrs share a meal?    _))*

If you can afford to go on a cruise, Yorkie, you could probably afford a meal in Bodysgallen without a discount, I'd have thought?  ;)

Yes, the previous owner of Historic House hotels gave them to the National Trust in 2008. Many of the staff seem to be the same as before the donation.
Here is a link to the homepage,

   Thanks Hollins. I had no idea. I drive past it every day, once or twice I've been within the grounds and maybe as far as the reception.   --------   No, I was'ent thrown out, I was merely trying to put a few leaflets in a rack.    Mike

Its Mrs Fester's birthday soon,  and she has wanted a spa session and a meal at Bodysgallen for quite a while now.

This recent discussion has encouraged me to get them booked!   Thanks Hollins.  $thanx$

The reason I can afford a Cruise is because I save my pennies by not eating at overpriced cafes!   _))*

Best lunch is Cafe Dewi at St David's Hospice!    Soup and Sandwich for under £3.                                       
I couldn't eat 3 courses for lunch, or even dinner for that matter!   ZXZ

Same here, but I spend it on classic cars instead!  ;D
