A BAR and restaurant owner in Newport has added a new take-away hatch to his business on the High Street.
Slipping Jimmy’s Bar and Grill in the city centre opened a European style hatch on Monday, June 5.
The kiosk serves items such as burgers, hot dogs, bacon rolls, full breakfast, and a pulled pork roll.
They also serve a ploughman’s lunch, jacket potatoes, chicken wraps and soft drinks, along with single cans of alcohol.
Owner Steve Reynolds said he'd set up the new offering after spotting a gap in the market in the city centre.
He said: “I used to have a shop in the market years ago and I always remember going to Turner's for the bacon rolls and I wanted to try and re-create that.
“We have been doing food on and off over the years, and obviously stopped during covid, but when I started cooking again I put a wood-fire pizza oven in and thought why not branch out?"
The hatch - named Slipping Jimmy's On the Go, opens at 7am and closes at 2pm, before re-opening in the evening to serve pizzas.
Mr Reynolds has plans to open the hatch from 9pm to midnight on weekends, providing the first weekend is a success this week.
He added: “We are looking forward to seeing what the first weekend is like, as we opened on Monday.
“I am toying with the idea of opening on a Saturday night, as we cook food up till 9pm anyway as I do the pizzas.
“So I would hope to open from 9pm until midnight onwards and do burgers or hot dogs and see where we go from there.”
