The MARKET
The Lampeter Opportunity
Lampeter is a historic Ceredigion university and market town positioned in the Teifi Valley and surrounded by villages, farmland and the rolling countryside of West Wales. The defined 6-mile territory extends beyond the town centre into surrounding rural communities, creating a delivery catchment that reaches well beyond the core population of Lampeter itself.
Lampeter combines a traditional town centre, independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, local services and the presence of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. The town already supports a varied hospitality and takeaway sector, meaning the opportunity is focused on improving access, convenience and rural delivery reach rather than building local demand from zero.
A key difference in the Countryside Eats model is that customer choice is not limited to a closed partner list. Customers can order directly from any eligible takeaway in Lampeter town centre, including non-partner businesses, pay the takeaway directly, and use Countryside Eats for collection and delivery.
The defined 6-mile territory takes in Lampeter and surrounding communities including Cwmann, Llanybydder and Llangybi, together with dispersed rural properties across the surrounding Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire countryside.
The surrounding Ceredigion countryside, village network and rural roads create a delivery pattern that requires active route management. Lampeter forms the operational core, with nearby communities added in controlled zones as driver capacity and demand are established.

OPERATIONAL GEOGRAPHY
Estimated resident population within the defined 6-mile Lampeter territory, encompassing Lampeter and nearby rural communities including Cwmann, Llanybydder, Llangybi, Ystrad Aeron and Cribyn all falling within the territory boundary.
Lampeter supports a varied takeaway market including Chinese, Indian, pizza, kebab and fish-and-chip businesses alongside independent restaurants and cafés. The operator proposition is therefore built around an existing pool of local food businesses and customer choice.

The OPPORTUNITY
Build your territory. Grow your local network.
Build a local delivery operation around Lampeter’s established takeaway economy and surrounding rural communities. Customers are not restricted to partner takeaways: they can order and pay a Lampeter town-centre takeaway directly and use Countryside Eats for collection and delivery.
Expand through practical route clusters towards nearby rural communities such as Cwmann, Llanybydder, Llangybi, Ystrad Aeron, and surrounding villages as order density and driver capacity support reliable service.
LAUNCH THE TERRITORY
BUILD LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS
GROW THE LOCAL NETWORK
Start with Lampeter town centre, a controlled delivery zone and dependable driver coverage. Customer-requested collection from eligible non-partner takeaways can operate alongside the development of formal restaurant partnerships.
Build direct relationships with local food businesses for deeper integration and promotion while retaining the wider customer proposition: eligible Lampeter town-centre takeaways do not have to be formal partners for a customer to request collection and delivery.
