Dewi James and Crwst join forces in new Carmarthen food shop

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 15:35 · Archive

Butcher Dewi James and bakery Crwst are opening a combined food shop in Carmarthen on November 10. The new venture will bring together the two Cardigan-founded businesses under one roof, offering butchery, bakery and takeaway food in a single location at OS6, Market Way, just outside Carmarthen Market and beside the clock tower.

Dewi James, which traces its roots back to 1945 when the founder opened a meat stall at Cardigan market, currently operates outlets in Cardigan and Newcastle Emlyn. The Carmarthen shop will stock pre-packed cuts of beef, lamb, pork and poultry, along with fresh and frozen ready meals. It will also serve breakfast rolls and coffee in the mornings, and lunchtime options throughout the day. Dewi James said much of its beef and lamb is reared on the family farm or sourced from suppliers in the Teifi Valley.

Crwst, which began as a micro-bakery before opening its café on Priory Street in Cardigan in 2018, will provide the bakery element, supplying a daily range of doughnuts, cakes and sourdough bread. The bakery has expanded recently, launching a takeaway outlet in Haverfordwest in July 2025. Dewi James announced: 'New premises, new shop, new concept. We are a butcher, baker, brunch roll maker.'
