A WOMAN from Barry gave up her job in a law firm to immortalise everyone's favourite uncle, Gavin and Stacey’s Uncle Bryn, in burgers.

Chelsea Wright had had enough of her high-powered job in Cardiff, working for law firm Capital Law, and decided to take her life in a totally different direction, opening burger van Uncle Bryn’s Burgers.

Chelsea, along with husband Chris and fellow owners Martin and Nicola Clarke-Squires, opened Uncle Bryn’s on May 26, with 100 people showing up for the grand opening.

Uncle Bryn’s burgers serve Gavin and Stacey-inspired burger delights including the Pamela, Rudi’s rude chicken burger, and, of course, the Uncle Bryn - served with Welsh lamb, crisp lettuce, succulent tomatoes, and mint yoghurt – we tasted it and it was great!

Chelsea said she left her job at the law firm and took on Uncle Bryn’s burgers for a better lifestyle.

“I was a trainer at the law firm Capital Law in Cardiff,” said Chelsea, “but I left that for this because I wanted a nicer lifestyle and to be my own boss.”

Located in front of Barry Athletic Bowls Club, off Paget Road at Barry Island, there’s a breakfast menu, including the big Ness breakfast bap and Gwen’s homely breakfast roll, and snacks like the dirty Doris fries.

The van has been a huge success, using butchers meet from local supplier Norman Butchers (formally Vic Hopkins), which gives for a great taste.

Chelsea and Chris are already looking to expand with a van they can take on the road to festivals.

There’s also a plan for smoothies down the line, and they’ll be surprises on the menu, with guest burgers – the next one being a delicious-sounding pork and chorizo burger.

Normal opening hours will be Friday evenings 4pm to 8.30pm, and Saturday and Sunday 10.30am 8.30pm.
