Sadly, the Green Room restaurant has closed . Rumours have it that the Stable door has been sold as well, and will become a house. Shame, I am sure the Green Room will be taken on by some-one else, but the Stable Door was a an "institution" in Laugharne. I first visited it when I was 22, and that was along time ago-they had just opened, pre-the conservatory. I happened to be in the area-well Newcastle Emlyn, and was told that a wine bar had been set up in Laugharne. Well wine and a bar was a magnet(lived in London), so off we set across the back roads to Laugharne. What a journey, signposts turned around, it was the early 80's, but we got there in the end. Great evening and got home.
Nick Priestland set it up- and a few years later I met his sister in London-a blind date -and we have now been married now for 21 years. Nick now has the best restaurant in West Wales, The Cors, Laugharne.

A bit of the discussion I had with a coffee producer from Brazil- available in Castle Stores,Laugharne
"Armando: the labour cost of producing organic vs convetional is 3 times as much so farmers don't go organic as there is not compensation for it...
I presented at a coffee shop 2 weeks ago...
me: The constant problem
Armando: I asked the customers if they would be prepared to pay 1 pence more per cup of coffee or if the coffee shop owner would be prepared to cut their margin by 1 pence.....
they all said yes.
then I said, that if they do that then the farmer would double their income...!!!"
This is Direct Trade not Fair Trade- there is a difference. |
