Local Assembly Member Paul Davies has recently visited Dr Beynon’s Bug Farm in St David’s, as part of a tour of local tourism businesses arranged by Pembrokeshire Tourism. The Bug Farm is a research centre, visitor attraction and working farm and hosts the UK’s first full-time edible insect restaurant, “Grub Kitchen.” Mr Davies had a tour of the farm and even had the opportunity to try some insect snacks and meet Dave the giant hissing cockroach.

Mr Davies said: “I was delighted to visit Dr Beynon’s Bug Farm and experience some of the facilities that the farm has. There are some fascinating facilities at the Bug Farm including a Bug Museum and a Tropical Bug Zoo as well as the infamous Grub Kitchen, the UK’s first restaurant to serve insect dishes on the menu full-time.”

He added: “The Bug Farm is a wonderful attraction that has something for the whole family and really puts Pembrokeshire on the map. It’s a truly unique experience and I’d encourage everyone to visit the attraction and learn more about the world of invertebrates.”
