The teenager who dropped out of university to open his own burger restaurant

A new halal fast-food burger restaurant and delivery service is coming to Newport. Anas Miah, who is just 19 years old, has opened the restaurant to cater for all communities in Newport. Anas dropped out of university to pursue his passion for business and is using his mum's recipes to create the perfect burger.

The Burger House will open at 112 Lower Dock Street, Newport on Tuesday, March, 29 and customers can either dine-in, order by phone, or on JustEat. Anas has always had a love for business ever since he was a child. He said: “From a young age I was always interested in business, I used to sell sweets in school, not because I needed the money but because I saw the opportunity to do it.”

From selling sweets in the playground Anas was able to build up a business selling speakers, and after sixth form went to university as a backup option. Anas always knew that university was never really for him, he said: “After I left sixth form I was a bit on the fence about what to do so as a backup I went to university. I knew deep down I wasn’t a big fan of university."
