THE re-development of Newport Market will be unveiled this weekend – and with the new building comes new food.

Newport’s food scene will be expanding once Newport Market officially opens its doors on Saturday, March 19, with an abundance of offerings in the heart of the city centre.

Rae Barton’s Fruit & Veg, established in 1906, will return to Newport Market. Plus Castle Farm Shop will offer locally sourced produce to visitors, Deli Bach will have a deli counter, and Friends in Knead will have a bakery.

The market will also offer a worldwide taste experience, with people able to order cuisines inspired by countries all over the planet – with the option to dine-in or order takeaway

American

Burger Boyz - not to be confused with Burger Boys Gwent - will bring burgers, wings, milkshakes, and fries to Newport Market. The business launched in Port Talbot in August 2021.

Pan Asian

Pan Asian food - encompassing special dishes from different parts of Asia - will be on offer from The Greedy Bear. The menu will include bao buns, rice bowls, noodles, and small plates.
