Village pubs are struggling everywhere due to many factors but a pub in North Pembrokeshire has a dilemma due to the rural lambing season that is fast approaching.

With the challenges of the National Insurance increase, ever-increasing running costs such as electricity and insurance, staff shortages, the cost of living impact, seeing people spending less on eating out, it is little wonder that village pubs are struggling.

BUT in a village pub in North Pembrokeshire, it is the forthcoming Lambing season that will see the pub needing additional support as the kitchen lead and cook, Wendy,  is taking time off to support the family farm with the annual lambing from the 16th of March for 3 weeks.

The community pub at Crymych, The Crymych Arms is looking for a rota of support cooks as Wendy focusses to monitor the new born lambs on her nearby farm.

The community pub at Crymych has a great following of locals and visitors. Also the members of the Football club in the village use Crymych Arms as its clubhouse. The pub staff have developed an excellent range of pub food from Wednesdays to Sundays each week and now need to secure additional cooks with relevant food handling accreditation. A full list of opening hours and the menu offer that needs to be prepared can be found on www.crymycharms.com

The lambing season is an important part of any rural community, as is a welcoming warm village pub, and it is hoped that in Crymych both the lambing and pub kitchen will have adequate staffing this spring.

The pub is appealing to anyone who can help with a cooking shift or two, to please contact the Pub Manager on 01239 831435 or email manager@crymycharms.cymru
