Deli & Grocery
There are quiches with various fillings, crumbly French onion tarts, spiced vegetable or turkey & leek pasties, and even own-made dolmades. Locals bring in wild mushrooms and he prepares croustades, preserves them in oil or dries them to sell in packets. There are also various cakes, cheesecakes, puddings and - more often than not – their own tart and cakey bara brith, which Deiniol makes with a little whey rather than milk “so important for its depth and moisture”."The best delicatessen in Wales"
The Surprisingly – and only because of where it is, a small village in North-Wales – Blas Ar Fwyd is an exciting food shop. The name is adapted from a Welsh saying which roughly translates as ‘enjoying good food and a good life’ and that is owner Deiniol ap Dafydd’s philosophy. Brought up in Llanrwst, he returned after a few years “abroad” (London, actually working in the food trade). The company employs over 35 staff at their premises in Llanrwst.
