Two Cwmbran businesses are celebrating following a successful night at 2023 The Food Awards Wales.
The ceremony puts the spotlight on the best of the hospitality industry in Wales and was held in Cardiff’s Mercure Hotel on Monday 26 June.
The Cookes Bakes
This family-run business won Retail Bakery of the Year. A post on their Facebook page said:
“For the nights he stays up all night baking, the lack of social life & the overflowing amount of flour that’s constantly around – this makes it worth it! ❤️
From me, I’m an incredibly proud girlfriend right now, 15 years ago I met a guy who’s changed my life & his drive, passion & motivation is just beyond! 😍
Debs & Ffion are having their own party at home – We are off to celebrate! 🥂🥂🥂
