Cosmos fast food restaurant opens in Trinant near Crumlin

Cosmos, located near Crumlin, is owned by Chay Edwards and his girlfriend Mazie Wright. The pair decided to open the takeaway restaurant without any experience in the food industry. For the last eight years, Mr Edwards had been a delivery driver and photographer, while Ms Wright worked in care.

However, the chef had to drop out just three days before the opening due to a family bereavement, leaving Mr Edwards with the daunting task of running a restaurant and managing a kitchen with no prior experience. Ms Wright quit her job to support the new business venture. Despite the challenges, the couple said the restaurant has been a success, with several food vloggers giving positive reviews and customers coming from areas such as Newport, Aberdare, Merthyr, Ebbw Vale, Brynmawr, and Monmouthshire. Mr Edwards said: "We're a new upcoming fast food takeaway restaurant based in Trinant branded as a hidden gem. "Over the past few weeks, we have been reviewed by several food vloggers, all leaving outstanding feedback and ratings of 10/10 this can be verified on our Facebook page. "Since then our customer base has grown tenfold with people travelling to visit and even returning." Several customers have also taken to social media to leave reviews of the takeaway. Ellis Hawker said: "Absolutely outstanding food massive portions, everything was so tasty and the value for money is amazing, definitely tops kitchen kings and all the rest of the burger places for me.

"the food was absolutely delicious, chicken strips are to die for and the galactic meal deal, well, it was huge and well worth the money! "I will definitely be ordering again." Josh Hancock said: "Absolutely banging food here! "Extremely filling(and I can put away a lot of food) the portions on the loaded chips are just out of this world, can honestly say it's almost put me in a food coma! "My partner also said that the gravy is the best gravy she's ever had. "The comet burger and the 'meateor' burger were outstanding, the southern loaded chips were just fantastic ( definitely recommend adding mozzarella to it!) and the burger loaded chips were great. Overall though a fantastic 9.7 out of 10 from me and the missus." For more information about Cosmos, visit their Facebook page.
