An award-winning Welsh chef who heads up sustainably-driven and organic Carmarthen restaurant, The Warren, is opening a community canteen that will serve up plant-based food on a 'pay what you can' basis.
Deri Reed, who won Chef of the Year at the Food Made Food awards in 2019, will open Cegin Hedyn - which means 'seed kitchen' in Welsh - a community kitchen and canteen, at the formerly known Cellar Cafe in Camarthen at The Lammas Street Centre on Saturday, October 22. You can read our review of The Warren, which is the best restaurant in Carmarthen according to Tripadvisor, here.
Cegin Hedyn is a passion project of the chef and has been co-founded with printmaker, graphic designer and illustrator Frank Duffy, as noted on the kitchen's Instagram. The community kitchen has been made possible through the donation of the space in the Lammas Street Center, fundraising and donations from community members, be that financial or via produce, goods and services for Cegin Hedyn. On its opening day, the kitchen will be ready for hungry punters between 12 and 2pm. Its opening times will be reviewed and extended once it is more established.
