TheJOINT
📍 Rodney Parade, Newport
From US burger travels and home kitchen trials with Julie, to music event vibes and friend Steve on the grill — how a shared love for great burgers built The Joint.
"The Joint didn't start with a business plan. It started with a burger."
How traveling the US, experimenting in the kitchen with Julie, and decades in live music events turned a throwaway idea into Newport's favorite burger van.
Explore the four chapters behind The Joint — from roadside US burger travels to home kitchen trials with Julie, live events, and Steve on the grill.
"After plenty of trips across the States — and probably far too many burger joints along the way — I started getting pretty picky about what made a great burger. The meat. The seasoning. The cheese. The sauce. The bun. Even the way it was put together. The vibe of the shop. Before long, I wasn't just eating burgers. I was thinking about how I'd make my perfect one."
Inspired by US travels and perfected through kitchen trials — the specific details that go into every burger we serve.
Aged UK beef smashed paper-thin onto a searing hot flat-top grill for lacy, caramelized edges and locked-in juice.
Proprietary seasoning blends and signature Joint sauces developed in home kitchen trials with Julie.
Soft toasted brioche, melted double cheese, and deliberate layering so every bite holds together from start to finish.
High energy music, warm neighborhood hospitality, and giving people something they want to come back for.
"We're not trying to reinvent the burger. We're just making the kind of burgers we always wanted to eat."
Eughine, Julie, and Steve on the grill — the crew cooking the food that started it all.
"The Joint didn't start with a business plan. It started with a burger."
"We're just making the kind of burgers we always wanted to eat."
"Smashed fresh to order on every single shift."
