LOCAL company famous for serving up seaside delicacies was recognised as the business making the best use of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park at the recent Radio Pembrokeshire Business Awards. The Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company, which uses local seafood and seashore foraged ingredients to create its products, topped a public poll to win the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Award at the ceremony held at the Torch Theatre in Milford Haven. The winners had to fight off stiff competition from fellow finalists Celtic Quest Coasteering and Pembrokeshire Moments Photography in order to top the poll and claim the prize. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority Chairman Cllr Mike James said: “The finalists demonstrated three very different ways businesses can use the National Park’s world-class environment and landscape in order to thrive. It also demonstrates the value of the National Park brand as a vital marketing tool for local businesses. “I would like to congratulate the Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company on their win and hope this award highlights the National Park’s vital role in supporting the local economy. “Research published last year shows that the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park supports over 7,000 jobs and contributes £187million Gross Value Added to the Welsh economy.” The Pembrokeshire Beach Food company is well known locally for its Café Mor beach shacks, which have been trading around Pembrokeshire and beyond since 2011. Café Mor’s previous accolades include being named the Best Vendor at the Best British Street Food Awards in 2011 and Best Street Food/ Takeaway at the 2014 BBC Radio 4 Food And Farming Awards. As well as Café Mor, the Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company also creates products for retail such as “Welshman’s Caviar” (dried laver seaweed) and “Ship’s Biscuits” (savoury fish shaped crackers backed with traditional laverbread). Jonathan Williams, Managing Director of the Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company added: “Without growing up with the inspiring natural beauty of Pembrokeshire and knowing what it has to offer in terms of the wealth of foraged food, the Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company would never have happened. We’re delighted to have received this recognition at the awards and can’t thank everyone who voted enough.”

Lanterns and balloons released in emotional acts of remembrance

FAMILY, friends and members of the local community came together to remember Corrina Baker at a series of moving events held across west Wales this week.

Corrina’s funeral took place on Monday (Dec 15), a month after her death, with a public service held at St Mary’s Church. Mourners lined the route as her coffin was carried on its final journey in an elegant horse-drawn carriage, before a private cremation later took place at Parc Gwyn crematorium in Narberth.

Later that evening, shortly after 6:00pm, friends and relatives gathered at the Quayside in Cardigan for the first of two acts of remembrance to celebrate her life. Lanterns were lit and released into the night sky above the town as some of Corrina’s favourite songs were played.

On Tuesday afternoon (Dec 16), a second tribute was held near the location where Corrina was found. Twenty-one pink balloons — one for each year of her life — were released into a clear blue sky, each carrying personal messages in her memory.

Floral tributes continue to be laid at the Netpool, while a GoFundMe appeal set up in Corrina’s memory has raised more than £2,300. She has been described by those who knew her as “funny and bright”.

Dyfed-Powys Police have confirmed that their investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ms Baker’s death is ongoing. A 29-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on bail while inquiries continue.
