A BURGER business born in lockdown has expanded to open a second venue in Newport.

Sharkbite Burgers has humble beginnings – the business was launched by couple Mark ‘Sharkey’ Williams and Natasha Spencer-George from their Cwmbran home in September 2021.

Their burgers and meals - made from scratch using local ingredients - proved popular. In March 2022, when Covid restrictions eased, the duo opened their first restaurant which is based in the Grange Industrial Estate in Cwmbran.
