We’re Closing

Dear reader,

It’s taken me a long time to write this announcement, as it’s something I’ve been putting off for too long. For those of you who know me well, you’ll know how much weight I’ve carried in running The Warren. Behind the front, there’s a man doing his best to keep afloat a business built on strong human and environmental ethics, while also trying to look after himself, his relationships, his home and his community. The truth is, it hasn’t been working for me for some time.

So, from Sunday 21st September after service, The Warren will be going into hibernation for a little while, giving me space to pause, reflect, and work out what the next steps in this journey might be.

I don’t see this as an ending. I imagine a future where this space is alive with new collaborations, where community food projects have a home here, and where The Warren continues to make noise from the streets of Carmarthen. With the support of some brilliant people and organisations, I’ll be exploring what that could look like.

In the meantime, our team is ready to give you the best of what we’ve got over the next five weeks. So please do come in, enjoy a meal with us, use any vouchers you’ve been holding onto, and help us celebrate the wonderful achievements we’ve made together so far.

Until next time,

Deri Reed
