Jodie Evans

Owner

Jodie grew up in Ystrad Mynach and worked in the canteen at the old Penallta offices before running a hospital café in Caerphilly for nine years. She opened Crust & Filling in 2017 in what had been a wool shop on Bedwlwyn Road.

She makes the fillings every morning from six, plans every catering job herself and has one rule: if you can see the plate through the sandwich, it goes back.

Sam Hughes

Sandwich maker and office delivery

Sam started on Saturdays while he was at Coleg y Cymoedd and stayed. He works the counter from seven and takes the van out at twelve to the four business parks.

He knows the receptionists at Tredomen by name, carries a spare bag of crisps for the order that is always one short, and built the spreadsheet that became the office order system.

What we hold ourselves to

Food you can trust at lunchtime.

Food hygiene

Our rating is displayed in the window and on the Food Standards Agency website. (Left for the owner to fill in on this demonstration site.)

Allergens

An allergen sheet for every filling and bread. The kitchen handles all 14 major allergens, so we say plainly what we cannot promise.

Local suppliers

Bread from a family bakery in Bargoed, bacon and sausages from a Bargoed butcher, eggs free range.

On time

Office lunches leave at twelve sharp. If we are running late, we ring before you notice.

Order by 10:30, lunch on the table by one.

Sandwiches made to order from 7am, hot food from eleven, and office lunches delivered to Tredomen, Penallta, Dyffryn and Oakdale business parks. Build yours online and it is waiting in a bag.
