a hearty meal of beans, salad and bread
Celia & Sue at Cegin Hedyn

Nestled in the heart of our community, Cegin Hedyn is more than just a canteen: it’s a movement. As a volunteer-run canteen deeply committed to making a difference, our “pay what you can” philosophy ensures that everyone has access to nutritious, delicious meals, regardless of financial means.

Our menu is a celebration of local, seasonal, and organic produce, showcasing the rich flavours of West Wales. Each dish is lovingly prepared by our dedicated volunteers, bringing a touch of home-cooked warmth to your plate. Cegin Hedyn isn’t just about food; it’s about fostering a sense of community and belonging. We’re a hub where friendships are formed, stories are shared, and meals are enjoyed in a spirit of generosity and inclusivity.

Join us at Cegin Hedyn, where every visit supports our mission to nourish bodies, hearts, and souls, and strengthens the bonds within our community.
