Penylan Pantry will be a seasonal, honest delicatessen and food store that aims to promote local producers, the environment and a healthy lifestyle. Our ethos is to support and listen to the local community. We are a small group of friends who would like to start a locally sourced store, delicatessen and educational space at 72 Kimberley Road. FOOD is our PASSION! Being devoted food lovers, we spe
nd our time cooking, prowling delis, cafés and restaurants and devouring the best of Cardiff's food scene. We are very excited about becoming a part of this culinary community whilst offering something a little different for people. We want the Pantry to be somewhere welcoming where we would choose to shop and that is accessible for everyone to enjoy and learn about good food. Supplying Penylan and Cardiff with affordable, seasonal, local produce, the store and pantry will stock fair-trade and organic goods, with minimal food miles attached. Quality food that travels shorter distances will help support the local community and economy. For us it is all about creating a deli experience at an affordable price. We will be happy to take telephone orders on groceries so you can swing by and pick them up, we all live busy and hectic lives. To complement the deli, Penylan Pantry will also offer the following:
* Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian choices
* Cakes, cookies, tray bakes and all things sweet
* Exceptional teas and coffee
* Delivery of fresh artisan breads
* Ethical & organic pet foods
* Potted herbs & plants
* Selection of rustic & locally sourced kitchenware
We will have a fresh fruit & vegetable corner; our suppliers are at the whim of the seasons so our produce will reflect this. Unique to Cardiff, the store will also include a Book Corner dedicated to a handpicked selection of hard-to-find food, travel and sustainable living books, available to read or buy. Our aim is to work with the strong sense of community within the area, listening to what is important to our neighbours. Being local ourselves, we fully understand this and are happy to be flexible with opening hours, deliveries as well as being open to suggestions and ideas from the local populace. The shop itself was a grocer for a good deal of its history and we would like to continue its tradition as a community hub.
