aim to source much of our produce locally, and are
proud to hold the Pembrokeshire Produce Mark.
Our smoked salmon, smoked trout and smoked chicken
all come from the Hillside Smokery,
situated in Crymych, within the Preseli Mountains
in Pembrokshire. Hillside Smokery
use their own or local ingredients and traditional
methods, with much of the work being done by hand.
The result is Gold Medal Winning
smoked trout fillets, hand-smoked over oak then cooked
before being allowed to mature until they are carefully
vacuum packed, and Gold Medal Winning
oak roasted smoked salmon. www.hillsidesmokery.co.uk
We get our clotted cream from Drim Farm
in Narbeth, who've been shortlisted for Taste of Wales
awards for their products from the farm's herd of
Jersey Cattle. If you'd like to take some home with
you, visit their farm shop - call the farm on 01437
541295 for directions.
Mark the Shark provides us with
our fresh fish. He has a little van which he takes
around north and south Pembrokeshire. If you'd like
to catch him, give him a ring on 01646 690267.
Our rare roast beef comes from G Davis and
Sons butcher in St Davids. The beef is from
Welsh black cows from around St Davids - you may see
some in pasture in fields around the Cathedral.
Our fresh meat from Pembrokeshire sheep and cows
are from AJ Rees in Narbeth, a traditional
butchers who have recently been named as the Daily
Telegraph Best Traditional Business in a UK-wide competition.
Telegraph Assistant Editor Andrew Pierce commented
on Andrew "He is not just a butcher, but a one-man
local food campaign.... He has been a pioneer of the
local-for-locals ethos. Eat your hearts out Jamie,
Hugh and Gordon, Andrew Rees was there first".
We use a number of delicious local cheeses including
Pant Mawr goat's and cow's milk cheeses
and the superb Perl Las - a delicious
creamy blue cheese great both in cooking (e.g. with
a celeriac soup) and to eat as it is.
The Penlon Cottage Brewery provide
us with our beers - they use traditional methods using
hops from their own yard, and any leftover grain is
fed to their livestock. Penlon have
recently won a True Taste award for their light ale

Our dairy ice cream is from another local company,
Mary's Farmhouse Ice Cream in Crymych.
All their ice cream is additive
free, and made with local milk.

Davids Country Market (aka the WI). You can
find the market in St Davids Town Hall every Thursday
morning.
