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

Cegin Hedyn is a community movement. Guided by our “pay what you can” philosophy, we ensure that everyone has access to wholesome, delicious meals prepared with love. Our menu celebrates the rich flavors of West Wales, featuring fresh, organic, and seasonal produce, with produce being grown steps away in our Community Allotment.

The allotment is at the heart of our project, providing fresh ingredients for the kitchen while offering a space for learning, collaboration, and connection. Volunteers of all ages come together to grow food, share skills, and nurture both the land and each other. This connection between allotment and canteen completes the cycle of care—what’s grown with love is shared with generosity.

Cegin Hedyn is a place to belong, where meals are shared, friendships bloom, and community thrives. Join us to eat, grow, or volunteer, and be part of creating a healthier, more connected future—one plate and one plant at a time.

Sign up to our newsletter to find out what’s on the menu this week.
