St David’s Day (Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant) is the feast day for Wales’s patron saint, so Llanelli’s biggest bakery marking the occasion in style. 
Jenkins the Bakers will be rolling out patriotic products to make March 1st a real feast. 
“There will be a proper Welsh theme to our products before, during and immediately after St David’s Day,” said Russell Jenkins (above), a director at the bakery. 
“We are already well known for helping to put the accent on all things Welsh at our bakery and our shops, but this year we will be making an extra special effort.” 
Among the products hitting the shops later this week (February 20) will be – 
Welsh Beef Pie, the Welsh Pastie, Welsh Cakes, Wholemeal Welsh Cakes, Bara Brith, Teisin Lap (cake on a plate) – and even Welsh Cakes without fruit as the bakery likes to cater for all tastes! 
A new Jenkins Bakery product to mark St David’s Day this year will be a rustic bakestone made with an addition of malted brown flour and kibbled wheat to add to the plain and fruited bakestone range. 
“We pride ourselves as being a bakery business which knows its customers and we know how people love to celebrate St David’s Day,” added Mr Jenkins. 
The Welsh-themed products will be available until March 12. 
The Jenkins bakery employs 300 people, full and part-time, across 25 different stores in South Wales. 
The company has the Gold Standard Welsh Food Hygiene Award and the Investors in People award. 
The business employs 70 people at its Trostre HQ, while the Jenkins shop network stretches from Carmarthen to Bridgend. There are 13 shops in Carmarthenshire and even one as far afield as Powys.
