Our Story

About Waverley Stores

An independent health food shop and vegetarian restaurant serving Carmarthen and surrounding communities for years.

Who We Are +
Waverley Stores is an independent health food shop and vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Carmarthen. We have built our reputation on honest food, knowledgeable staff, and being a genuine alternative to the supermarket approach to health and nutrition. With over 2,000 followers who trust us for quality products and freshly prepared meals, we are proud to be part of the fabric of this Welsh market town.
What We Believe +
Food should be simple, honest, and nourishing. We believe everyone deserves access to quality health foods without pretension or unnecessary mark-ups. We believe in supporting local producers, reducing packaging, and proving that vegetarian food is not a compromise but a genuine pleasure. Health is not a trend for us; it is everything we do, every day.
Why Independent Matters +
When you shop at Waverley, your money stays in the local economy. We choose our suppliers, we know our products, and we can give you advice that a supermarket shelf talker never could. Independent businesses like ours keep high streets alive and give towns like Carmarthen their character. Every purchase here is a vote for the kind of town you want to live in.
Dietary Advice and Knowledge +
Our staff are not just shop assistants. They are knowledgeable about nutrition, supplements, and dietary needs. Whether you have been diagnosed with a food intolerance, are exploring veganism, or want to find the right supplement for your needs, we can help. We stock what we believe in and can explain why. That kind of personal guidance is something you simply cannot get online or in a chain store.
Supporting Welsh Producers +
We are proud to stock products from Welsh producers wherever we can. From local honey to Welsh-milled flour, from Carmarthenshire-grown vegetables to artisan preserves made just up the road. Supporting these producers is not just good for the environment — it gives you the freshest, most flavourful products available, with the shortest possible journey from field to fork.

Our Values

Community First
We exist because Carmarthen needs a place like this. Every decision we make starts with what is best for the people who walk through our door.
03 / 04

04 / 04
Knowledge Shared
We believe in empowering our customers. Ask us anything about our products, nutrition, or dietary needs. We will give you an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
What People Say

From Our Community

The best health food shop in West Wales. Brilliant range, lovely staff who actually know their stuff, and the food upstairs is genuinely delicious. Been coming here for years.
Regular Customer // Carmarthen
Discovered this place when I went dairy-free. They had everything I needed and the staff helped me find alternatives I would never have thought of. The soup is always amazing too.
New Customer // Llanelli
Brought my non-veggie husband for lunch and even he was impressed. The daily special was fantastic and the cakes are to die for. A real gem in the centre of Carmarthen.
