Our Menus

Burgers – Smash, Stack & Conquer

Our smash burgers are the talk of South Wales. Each burger comes with 2 freshly made smashed mince patties or southern fried chicken strips, stacked on a sourdough seeded bun. It’s comfort food, taken to the next level.

We’re often called the best burger place in Newport because of our bold flavours and variety – from loaded cheese classics to spicy creations. Looking for something a bit extra? Keep an eye out for our epic burger challenges, designed for those who dare to take on towering stacks of meat, cheese, and toppings.

Dirty Fries – Loaded & Legendary

Our dirty fries are a fan favourite. Every portion is vegetarian-friendly as standard, and you can add beef or chicken to load them up even more. They’re messy, they’re delicious, and they’re exactly what you need while watching the big game.

Nachos – Revamped & Packed with Flavour

We’ve given our nachos a makeover! Expect freshly made, lightly spiced tortilla chips topped with flavoursome salsa, creamy cheese sauce, and garlic mayo.

Pizzas – Classic & Customisable

Sometimes only pizza will do. From our cheesy Pitsa Trip Caws to a classic Margherita or loaded meat feast, there’s something for everyone. Want to get creative? Build your own pizza with toppings of your choice and make it exactly how you like it.

Hotdog – With a Welsh Twist

Our hotdog is a Welsh pork chip shop-style sausage in a bun – a local take on an American classic.

Vegan Options – Big Flavour, Plant-Based

We don’t leave anyone out. Our vegan range includes vegan burgers, nuggets, and our signature Cajun cauli dirty fries – crispy, spicy cauliflower that packs a punch.

Gluten-Free Options – No One Misses Out

Love burgers but can’t do gluten? No problem. Any of our burger flavours can be made gluten-free, so you don’t miss out on the best smash burgers in Newport.
