The baking story of Newport
Newport, a city since 2002, grew at the mouth of the River Usk as a port for the coal and iron of the south Wales valleys. Its Victorian market hall, restored and reopened in recent years, has been at the heart of the city's food life since the 19th century, and the famous Transporter Bridge, one of very few left in the world, still dominates the skyline. As everywhere in Wales, Welsh cakes and bara brith are staples on bakery counters. The historic county of Monmouthshire, of which Newport was part, has its own dessert too: Monmouth pudding, layers of buttery breadcrumbs soaked in milk, spread with jam and topped with meringue. Newport's mixed communities, from Italian to South Asian, add plenty more.
Local bakes to look out for
- Welsh cake – A buttery griddle cake with currants, dusted with sugar.
- Bara brith – A tea-soaked fruit loaf, sliced and spread with butter.
- Monmouth pudding – A baked pudding of milky breadcrumbs, jam and meringue.
Bakery hunter's tip: Start at the restored Victorian Newport Market, then explore the arcade and streets around Commercial Street for cafés.
Did you know? Caerphilly cheese, crumbly and mild, was made in the hills just west of Newport and was a favourite in miners' lunches.
