Culinary teacher's artisan sandwich brand in Caerphilly
Rebecca Goad, known as Becci, started her focaccia sandwich brand, Bonnie's, at Ffos Caerffili during the town's food festival in April.
Bonnie's is among the new businesses at Ffos Caerffili, including AG Indian Kitchen and The Meadows Wildlife Park.
Ms Goad has worked with her business partner Leyli Homayoonfar at Bab Hause/Bab Hause Mex since 2019.
She said she was impressed by the footfall at Ffos Caerffili and decided it was the best place to test her new street food venture.
Ms Goad said: "The people and the community are the reason why I set up here.
"Ffos is one of my favourite sites and I'm looking forward to settling in and making something great here."
Ms Goad, who grew up in Kent, studied nutrition at Kingston University London and worked at Waitrose Cookery School.
Her background in nutrition influences Bonnie's food production, with every sandwich made from fresh produce and the focaccia bread made from scratch.
Ms Goad said: "At the moment people love the Chicken Caesar.
"But I'm always thinking of new fillings and flavours to try.
"I want to figure out what people want and serve it to them."
