Food and drink on the high street

Registered premisesCount
Restaurants and cafés (57.1 per 10,000 residents)3

Counts are registered food premises in the Abergwili built-up area (525 residents at the 2021 census), from the FSA food hygiene register, extracted 17 August 2026. The boundary is drawn from where the buildings are, so these figures cover the town itself rather than the wider council area, and no total is shown because the register also lists premises nobody would call a venue: school kitchens, care homes, warehouses.

Schools

Maintained schools in the built-up areaCount
Primary schools1

From the Welsh Government's address list of schools (April 2026), located to this built-up area by postcode. Maintained schools only. No capacity or fill figures are shown: Wales publishes no per-school capacity file beside the address list, and the English pages' fill rates come from exactly such a file, so a Welsh version would be a guess.

Broadband

Availability% of homes
Gigabit-capable (1,000 Mbit/s+)88.8%
Superfast (30 Mbit/s+)99.6%

Share of the 258 residential premises in this built-up area that the fixed network can serve at each speed, from Ofcom's Connected Nations coverage data (network state July 2025). Availability is what the line to a home can deliver if ordered, not what households actually subscribe to, and a full-fibre street where everyone bought the cheapest package shows 100% here.
