Catering team set up shop in Newport Indoor Market
Shoppers are being enticed to spend more time inside an indoor market thanks to a new catering service.
The Flying Pig coffee shop has opened up in Newport Indoor Market to offer hot drinks and pastries.
The hope is that the new offering will help attract more visitors to the market, with seating available for those wanting to sit and have a drink.
It's the brainchild of Dan Smith and Clare Baxter, of the The Pastry Box.
As part of Smith & Baxter Catering, The Pastry Box also supplies independent restaurants, cafes, farm shops, butchers and bakeries with handmade goods.
Dan said: "We felt the market needed something, in terms of hot drinks and food, to help bring in more custom,.
"We decided to jump on it to help keep the market going.
In a lot of indoor markets, you can go in and get some hot food.
"We felt the market needed to modernise itself in that sense so we took it on ourselves to do it. It's going really well so far.
"It's a welcome change and something the market needed.We are providing hot drinks as well as home made pasties, pork pies, sausage rolls, sweet tarts and vegetarian bakes. We have a good following for it in Newport."
