The village shop in Llandrillo has all the basic supplies as well as a few surprises.
Home cooked Thai food is available and we can personally recommend it. Shop owner Som cooks her Thai delights and you can pick up a selection when you pop in or order exactly what you fancy with a couple of days notice.
