Wright's Shop & Kitchen

Wright’s brings together a local-produce shop, a kitchen and cafe, and cultural spaces in Llanarthne, West Wales, each with its own name. Wright’s Shop & Kitchen is the center of the site; gofod [wright’s] hosts exhibitions and activities, while CoffiWright’s serves takeaway coffee. The food and event program changes with the season, so a visit can bring together shopping, a meal, coffee, and an arts event in one place.

The shop combines local fresh foods—such as meat, cheese, fruit, vegetables, and bread—with pantry products made by the kitchen team, including jams, chutneys, and condiments. It also stocks preserves, dry goods, and items from local producers, along with selected suppliers from Italy and Spain. Drinks include natural wines through Wright’s Wines, Welsh beer, spirits, soft drinks, and juices. The selection puts small producers and the kitchen’s own work at the center.

The cafe serves a short menu that changes weekly according to what is available. It may include sandwiches, salads, soups, stews, sides, cakes, hot drinks, beer, and wine. On Sundays, a few brunch options join dishes from the weekly menu; the business posts the menu each Monday. Wright’s also bakes its own bread and cakes and says it prioritizes local and seasonal produce, so the menu is not fixed throughout the year.

CoffiWright’s is at the back of the property and operates as a takeaway counter. It serves Coaltown coffee, tea, cold drinks, cakes, and a few savory items, with morning hours on Saturday and Sunday. That makes it possible to stop for a quick drink or plan a longer visit around the shop and main cafe. The separate counter also helps distinguish the two services on the same site.

Each week, the kitchen prepares a supper kit for two, with a choice of two or three courses, along with individual items, bread, produce boxes, and drinks. Click-and-collect orders close at midnight Wednesday for collection Friday or Saturday. The monthly calendar includes supper on the second Saturday and occasional guest-chef nights. The cafe accepts reservations for groups of more than six at noon or 2 p.m.; other visitors can simply drop in.

The third space, gofod [wright’s], hosts exhibitions, workshops, performances, and other events. The business describes it as a way to celebrate local talent and community; it connects with the shop and is entered through Wright’s main entrance. Its program changes, so this profile describes the space’s ongoing role rather than listing a temporary exhibition. Visitors can also contact the team about hosting an event there.

The address is in Llanarthne, Carmarthenshire. The main shop opens Thursday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; a supper may be scheduled on the second Saturday of each month. CoffiWright’s opens Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon. With a shop, a cafe with a changing menu, prepared food for collection, and a cultural program, Wright’s offers several reasons to return on different days.
