However, a 24 hour convenience store in a town with a population of 8,000, half of them students? It'd be a struggle for it NOT to be popular. The discerning student should save his or her money and buy food somewhere better - may I recommend Spartacus for a sandwich, or even Wetherspoon. The products are overpriced and often out of date, the staff in my experience usually rude, and the queues horrendous. I haven't even mentioned the Onion Bhaji I bought once, which was the size and toughness of an unexploded World War 1 bomb. Never again! The potato wedges are alright, though. Go there if everywhere else is closed and you're desperate for a pot noodle.

St David's is a pretty remote place being, as it is, the westernmost point of the British Isles…read more Not the sort of place you'd expect to find a top quality deli. But here it is. A top quality deli at the westernmost point of the British isles. Manned (womanned?) by a dedicated group at the back of the shop who will knock you up a sandwich to go in minutes. Great local cheese counter. Lots of tasty pies, pasties, sausage rolls and scotch eggs. A couple of shelves of excellent white and red wines. And lots and lots of great quality bits and bobs from chocolates to pasta to dairy products. It's really well curated and the sort of place you'd expect to cost the earth. But it really doesn't. Very fair prices. A large baguette packed full of whatever you want will cost less than a fiver. We go there every day when we're on holiday and take our booty down to Whitesands for a delicious packed lunch. And when we're cooking, it's a great place to buy posh produce and a bottle of Pouilly Fume to go with the lobster or crab from down the road in Solva. Insider tip. Go early. Lunchtime gets crowded and although they work quickly it will be a bit of a wait if you're getting a packed lunch. This place is an absolute godsend if you like your food and wine. A real treat you can award yourself every day. Well, you are on holiday. For more St David's reviews please read my write ups on... The Farmer's arms. The Bishops. Gianni's ice cream. Saffron.

There is a freezer so you can get stuff to keep, and ice cream. They have a cash machine, and a DVD lending club. The staff are usually very helpful. The shop offers cashback if you pay by debit card. There is no proper car park, but there are about half a dozen spaces outside in the road that are quite safe to use. Very usefully just down the road is a chip shop, so you can get fish and chips - and an ice cream dessert to follow.

Inside the Spar, there is also the local post office - but I do not like it there really.
