Bodnant Welsh Food Centre

Bodnant Gardens are one of my favourite gardens. If ever you you visit there, I'd also recommend a visit to the Bodnant Welsh Food Centre. It's in the Conwy Valley, just over a mile away from Bodnant Gardens, and six miles from Conwy. 

This business was originally opened in 2012 by Prince Charles. Recently it fell on hard times. However the business changed hands last year, and Richard Reynolds (who is the new owner) is committed to selling more authentic local produce and is already improving this business.

The shop includes a deli selling items like homemade coleslaw, pies, sausage rolls, scotch eggs and quiches. The cheese counter sells local, British and international cheeses:

They sell a range of seasonal fruit and vegetables:

There's a butchery counter selling local meat:

The in-house bakery bakes their own bread: 

as well as cakes and gluten free products. They also sell local beers and wines.

There's also a nice café in the Courtyard: 

where I enjoyed Welsh rarebit (with some added garlic mushrooms):

There's also a separate area, which can be hired for weddings and private functions.

The National Beekeeping Centre for Wales is also on the site - and is well worth a visit.
