18 High Street, Conwy, Conwy County Borough
The butcher on the High Street, and the shop that most defines what food in Conwy actually means to the people who live here. It opens at seven in the morning, six days a week, and closes on Sundays, which is a working butcher's week rather than a visitor attraction's. The business also runs a larger operation on the Morfa Conwy business park on the edge of town under a separate trading name, so the High Street shop is the retail front of something bigger. Buy sausages and Welsh cuts here rather than in a supermarket at Llandudno Junction.
