Box’d Bar and Pizza is opening in Monmouth Square in Cwmbran
Box’d Bar and Pizza, run by old friends Rhys Didcot and Dave Cutter, opened a purpose-built booth in Monmouth Square on Tuesday.
Mr Didcot and Mr Cutter thanked the public for their “incredible” support.
“Opening day was fantastic, customers loved our stuffed fries, and we received some great word of mouth, reviews and feedback,” they said.
“The support we have had has been incredible. We can be found in Monmouth Square and the full list can be found on social media Facebook and Instagram.
“Completing the hut was a task in the high temperatures, but with the help of local tradesmen, we were able to complete everything and get it ready.
“Like all new businesses, it’s a scary time, but without taking risks, the business won’t grow.
“From the basic margherita to our special pizza of the week that will be served. Our delicious French fries with our secret seasoning will be available with our fresh garlic pizza bread.
“We offer a 10% discount to all Cwmbran Town Center staff, Blue Light Card holders and staff/pupils who attend Coleg Gwent.
The couple initially converted the horse box into a fully-functioning mobile bar accompanied by fresh pizza in Pontypool.
One customer praised the business, describing the food as “amazing” and the staff as friendly.
Another customer said: “I had grilled chicken wings and ranch chicken with bacon cheese fries. Amazing, thanks guys.”
Box’d Bar and Pizza is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 5pm or until fresh cooked goods run out.
The company, which is creating a foundation, provides kids’ pizza kits consisting of pizza ingredients, fresh dough, chips and drinks for families to prepare at home.
Mr Didcot said: “The Box’d Community Foundation will be run by Sian Cutter, wife of co-owner Dave Cutter, who will support the foundation alongside my partner Catherine.
“The aim is to provide a hub in the local community that provides a safe space and opportunities for local charities to host drop-in sessions.”
