Today is the last day in business for a popular food takeaway and delivery service that opened in Cwmbran in October 2022.
Tin Can Kitchen Cwmbran, serves up street-inspired food from a shipping container in the car park near What! in the town.
The owners are moving it to Grangetown in Cardiff with customers in Cwmbran being able to order until it closes after this evening’s service.
Co-owner Barry Fallon said: “This is the last thing we wanted to do, and we’ve thought long and hard about it. However, a number of factors have influenced our decision – which hasn’t been easy to make – and to ensure the overall longevity of the business, we see no other alternative. We would like to thank the people of Cwmbran for their support. Also, we owe special thanks to all our staff, who will be relocated to other areas of the business where possible.
“When one door closes, another usually opens – two in our case. The opening of Tin Can Kitchen Cardiff is stage one of a wider plan to re-imagine Tin Can Kitchen as a multi-city enterprise. We have plans to open more branches in the coming months.”
Co-owner Jordan Phillips said: “It’s a very bittersweet moment in the business’ history. It’s heartbreaking having to close our Cwmbran branch, as we had high hopes for it and the people of Cwmbran have been brilliant. On the other hand, having the opportunity to start again with this kitchen in our nation’s capital is significant and we’re looking forward to making a success of it.”
