Owners Mark 'Sharkey' Williams 29, and Natasha Spencer-George 34, are the brains behind the business.
Reacting to the news Mark said: 'We're over the moon it doesn't happen often, and it hasn't happened before in Cwmbran! The closet that this has happened in is Cardiff.
'It was brilliant, and we didn't expect it.'
The business has humble roots and was created back in 2020 first operating out of Mark and Natasha's home.

Mark explained: 'Me and Natasha started it at the very end of lockdown, and the council tried to shut us down because we had too many queues outside our house.
'I used to do competitive body building, and my cheat meal was having burgers, and we'd travel anywhere to find new good burgers.' Mark 'Sharkey' Williams back in his bodybuilding days (Image: NQ) Mark explained he likes to 'mix it up' to keep his loyal customers interested.
'We include new specials each month. So, this month is around the theme of a Chinese, so we've incorporated our spin around a munch box.
'We constantly change it up if you don't get in, you'll miss it and if you don't get this special it won't come back ever. People beg us to bring some specials back, but we won't keep it.'

'Thank you for the continued support we are obviously a small family run business, and it means the world to us.
'We'd like you to get behind us give us a vote and put Cwmbran and the surrounding regions on the map.'
