About Castell Howell

Delivering over 12, 000 product lines across Wales, the Border Counties and South West England

Castell Howell Description

From our main depot at Cross Hands, and four satellite depots at Avonmouth, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Chirk and Merthyr Tydfil, we service the length and breadth of Wales, the Welsh borders and the West Country. Our Cash and Carry in Carmarthen offers our full product range, as well as an extensive selection of beers, wines and spirits.

We’re proud of our rural roots, which is why supplying and promoting regional produce is one of our core values. We believe in secure, sustainable and fair supply chains. Welsh meat, dairy produce, beverages and gourmet foods are an integral part of our extensive selection of products. In addition to the established favourites we can offer, our customers are also able choose new, innovative lines from the UK and beyond. But if they can’t find what they’re looking for, we’re more than happy to source products on customer request.


The Celtic Pride Premium Beef Partnership, our flagship supply chain initiative, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2013. Since its inception, producer membership has grown to exceed 80 farmers who follow strict husbandry and management protocols. We now also stock Celtic Pride Pork. You can find out more on the Celtic Pride website.

Our new 34, 000 square feet purpose built butchery is 3 times the size of the former production unit and, at a cost of £4 million, meets all foodservice requirements.

To develop sales to both public and private sector we have invested in our quality systems, attaining certification in the following International standards – BRC Global Standard for Food Safety – Issue 6 (A Grade for all production sites), BRC Global Standard for Storage and Distribution, ISO 9001: 2008; ISO 14001: 2004, and OHSAS 18001: 2007. We are also audited independently against PGI traceability requirements.

We recognise our commitment to the environment, with involvement in a number of initiatives. In 2012 we were one of the first companies in Wales to sign to the WRAP Hospitality and Foodservice commitment to reduce food and packaging waste. You can find out more on our Environment Page. Nutritional, allergen and intolerance advice is important to our customers, especially in relation to the new December 2014 legislations. This information is available upon request should you need it.

Our aim has always been to offer ‘The Complete Catering Solution’ and we feel that our product range and service allows us to meet this high standard.

Our team of account managers are based across Wales and the West Country, building strong relationships with our customers and providing a solution to all their needs.

Would not have the successful business we have now if it wasn't for castell Howell and our rep Diane England. You are made to feel like part of the family. The products are fantastic and the service is second to none.

Since opening my business I have had continued support from the whole company. I think the difference in this company to others is that Brian Jones is a true gentleman and he leads by example. Highly recommended

12 years of the best service, Suzanne, Dee, Barry and Simon, all part of a well oiled cog that keeps us at Marmajos running smoothly. Snow day?!?!? What snow day? everything turned up on time. Just one incident that was dealt with smoothly. Cheers guys �

Your transport department are beyond useless, have called 5 times in the past as they keep turning around on private property that’s not suitable for a HGV and hit my hedges leaving me to clean up. Despite 5 calls and speaking to the transport manager on 2 occasions it keeps happening and I receive a very poor attitude in return, very frustrating and police have now been made aware!!
