Steelworker and engineer quit work to run a burger van and now have two shops

There is nothing better than a good burger and Marcin Sadlos and Jack Phillips from Port Talbot, aka the Burger Boyz, know this probably better than anyone. 11 months ago both Marcin and Jack bought a burger van and began their business the Burger Boyz, from scratch.

Soon they had given up their secure full-time jobs and the Burger Boyz was no longer their side project but their full-time passion. The school friends now have a stall in the newly refurbished Newport Market and are opening a restaurant in their hometown of Port Talbot.

Despite having never worked in kitchens both Jack, 27, and Marcin, 26 have a passion for food. Marcin said: “We were both saying we wanted to open something to do with food because we both love food. We have never worked in kitchens in our lives so it is a bit of a mad one.”
