Blaina Wharf in Newport

Great bar man jazz what a pleasure got to be one of the best bar staff in this franchise hope he see this his creativity second to none

The food here is good. Whilst my meal was exactly as it should have been my husbands was not. He's quite picky and asked for no salad in his burger but it came out with it anyway. The biggest contribution to the loss of a star though is that there is rarely enough staff on and the service truley suffers.

I feel so disappointed. We ordered surf and turf. We had to go to the bar to order. Nobody appears to take orders at tables. The poor girl behind the bar did amazingly though, considering she had queue's of people and was serving alone. The food was poor. Plenty on the plate, but the onion rings were dry, also the scampi. I felt like I was just eating crumb. The steak was overcooked, although we asked for medium, and one piece had a large line of gristle through it. Nobody came to check on us at all. Nobody cleared our table. Nobody asking if we wanted a drink or dessert. I took our plates to the bar for clearing as there were no staff. The bar had not been cleaned, and my sleeve was sticking to it as I was leaning on it. The toilets were not clean. One of the dryers was broken. The cobwebs and dust is in plain sight. I don't see myself visiting again soon.

always a great place for an impromptu lunch /evening meal, always accommodating, lasagne was delicious, fresh and well cooked, called again day after and had carvery which was delicious, with good gravy, and tender meat, lovely veggies, staff very welcoming, only downside - no Merlot on 2 occasions ☹️but good alternatives

We go every week mainly Thursday but as we both have mobility problems and loads of appointments can differ went again today short on staff as usual but great crew in jaz behind bar always quick efficient service mandy and Lauren out front always running their legs off all amazing staff you need to keep and appreciate them too many good staff have left but the carvery the last 3/4weeks been banging beef amazing melts in your mouth all vegetables really well cooked and know with added flavour just pure delight to eat not bland and tasteless roasties perfect lush did stop having the carvery for ages but what a massive change Adam been on there for some weeks massive bonus he's really good obviously knows what he's doing and appreciates good food always happy chatty and truly cares nothing is too much trouble even got me a tray to carry my lunch on as I understand you don't want them used sorry bad move older people like us those not of firm ability and children who are old enough to go pick their own choice and like a bit of independence need a tray health and safety issue

Didn't go in but based on my customer's opinion.

Went to the caravary today only waited a long time to get served need more staff not good .

Food was lovely and delivered within a good time frame. Did not have to wait to be served. Atmosphere pleasant but it was quite cold in there we used our coats as a blankets to keep us warm

Jazz was fantastic with my 92 year old mum thank you

I attended the Roblox breakfast with my two daughters on the 26th March and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The breakfast was very tasty too.

We took our family to have meal here for their birthdays. We have had a beautiful sunday lunch and puddings. Will come here again xxxxx

Food was lovey, Atmosphere was really nice and service was excellent! Especially the Service from Jaz at the bar, very polite, cheerful and professional!!!

Lovely food, great value and quality! Jaz was fantastic and went the extra mile carrying our drinks as I have a broken wrist! I have been served by him a few times and he is a credit to the restaurant!

Food not worth even half the price 😭

It's been the first time in a long time I've had food that was served hot from anyone and the chips were even crispy not greasy and even the hash browns crispy not soft.

Overall, it was good, but I could see they were understaffed and frustrated. Food was good and staff were friendly

Fantastic service from Jazz, really friendly and cheerful service on a dull Sunday. Made my day

Friendly staff happy to help with any special requests or questions, served by jazz who was friendly and very helpful happy to come again

I came in a group of 8 for my birthday meal on the 21st December And went again yesterday 5th January 2024 And also attended yesterday for a meal out 5th October 2024 will definitely be coming back the staff are amazing andba very good atmosphere

Jazhair maxwell aalways deliver never disappoints he’s is blina through and through

The food was absolutely stunning we all had the carvery Very pleasant environment Jax was great 👍

Sunday roast was amazing! Good price! Worth the vist!

Abrupt manager at till No green veg at all. Dirty counters.

Staff are really nice especially Jazz xx

Busy but expected for a Sunday. Friendly staff to make up :)

Barman Jazz, awesome guy incredibly friendly

We visited with our 2 year old grandson for a Sunday carvery and found the place FAR too overcrowded. There were queues to get served at the bar and even longer queues at the carvery. My wife went up first, to get meals for her and my grandson, and once she returned I then went up and got mine. By the time we'd done all that, I finally got my meal an hour after we arrived. The quality of the food was OK, but nothing wonderful, and the selection in the carvery was limited (e.g. no boiled potatoes, no cooked cabbage). We felt that the place was overwhelmed by the number of people visiting.

Good service from Courtney and staff 👏

Had a pleasant meal. Had the cod and chips, huge bit of cod. Mother had Hunters Chicken which she enjoyed. They have a decent menu and carvery. Tried Friday night but very busy so came between lunch and dinner on a Saturday and was quieter. I think they do a quiz on Thursday night. There is a small play are outside for kids and plenty of free parking. They do take bookings so worth doing that if coming at a busy time. Right by the river too if you want to go for a walk afterwards to burn off the calories! 😉

Awful meal. Carvery has very limited choice of veg, roasties were horrid. Dinner was cold. Nothing nice to say I'm afraid.

Friendly we had carvery lovely tasting food worth every penny and more

Lovely welcome from Courtney, very helpful, very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks availability.

Very pleased with the service from Courtney

It's a nice venue, easy to get to and good value for a family event, and I've enjoyed previous visits though we used the cavery on those occasions. This week there were six of us, age range 14 to 83, dining at 5pm, on a Thursday, dining earlier in the evening than we usualy do. We had scampi, lasagne, 8oz Rump steak, 2 x hunters chicken and Cowboy Burger. For dessert: 2 apple crumbles with custard and 2 sticky toffee puddings with ice cream. We ordered using the QR code at the table so we did not have waitress service, and ordered drinks and dessert at the bar. The food all arrived within 20 minutes of submitting our order online. The steak, scampi, hunters chicken, cowboy burgers were all good. The apple crumble was excellent. One of our party felt their lasagne didnt have enough meat. We were also disappointed that the kitchen said they had run out of sherry trifle cheesecake. Another mild criticism was no one collected our finished first course plates.

Very disappointed with the carvery. Service not the best and selection of vegetables was awful. Very bland tasting food. We have been there before and must say that standards have slipped. £33.00 for 2 soft drinks and 2 standard carvery meals hardly any meat and it was early afternoon 12pm

We booked the table the day before which was really easy to do, when we arrived the staff where welcoming and friendly, we had a nice table by the window with a view of the garden. Jaz at the bar was amazing!!! He was very helpful and kind with my sister who has food allergies and is autistic, I asked what cocktails and he recommended the cocktail of the month the Caribbean twist and wow it was lovely I ended up have 3 as they tasted so good, the food was fantastic so fresh and tasty and great size also the dessert was so delicious!!! . I highly recommend going here for a meal

Amazing gluten free (NGCI) menu, and the staff have always been really knowledgeable. Chips aren't from a shared frier either. Good, local, pub food, with a great team. Been for lunch from work and for evening meals

While the food was enjoyable, the portions were quite small. The carvery was also a let-down, as there wasn't a full selection of vegetables and no condiments were available.

Carvery is always amazing, soon as me and my family walked in we was welcomed by Jaz who was really friendly, polite and made us feel at home. Thanks Jaz!!

A very busy Friday afternoon. A warm welcome from the A team.Fine pints of Strongbow served, empties cleared away by friendly floor staff with a smile. 👍

Brilliant service by jaz as always, lovely food again. AND peroni on tap 👌 Can't fault this place.

Very busy and deservedly so - very good value carvery, the staff are friendly and efficient and there's a very nice atmosphere. Nothing fancy but definitely hit the spot! Edit: meant to give 5 stars 😂

I had terrible stomach pains after eating carvery today also poor customer service recieved.

A good family pub that has a good reputation for there carvery. Real ales on offer plus more. Can be very busy on a Sunday.

Jazz was welcoming, helpful and made our visit! We’re celebrating a wedding anniversary and jazz provided lovely customer service! Thank you!! X

I love a good carvery, but they're getting increasingly hard to find, especially at such high quality for such good prices. The atmosphere was peaceful, the carvery building was comfortable, and the outside seating area was beautiful. We both got the regular plate carvery, and a young man named Adam served us. We both got the roast beef, which was some of the absolute best roast beef we've ever had in terms of flavour and texture. It was well done, but managed to remain moist and tender and the bark on the outside was fantastic. The texture of the turkey was also soft and tender, and was delicious as well. Next time I'm definitely getting the ham to try! The veg was good, a little on the crunchy side (which I love), and tasted a bit lemony, which was good. The real star of the veggies though were the potatoes, the roasted ones were absolutely stunning. The perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If those weren't the star though the mashed potatoes definitely were, they were the absolute perfect mashed potato texture and taste. I was stuffed by the end, but cleared my plate because it tasted so good. Hubby loved the gravy as well. The soda seemed a little overpriced, so next time I'd probably get a pint instead, but all in all it was a stunningly delicious carvery. Anyone who wants a stellar meal with good food made delicious, this place cannot be missed!

Great pub, lots of outdoor seating. Food looked good but we didn't get to try it.

Jazz super helpful with food choices and drinks. Tables were clean and tidy.

Excellent service friendly at the bar fab time had

Eat here regularly and the food is good the staff are nice especialy jazz hes very helpful polite a nice young man

We had a wonderful Sunday roast. The food was amazing, and the service was attentive. All round, a great evening.

Absolutely love the Blaina as my local. Staff always friendly and helpful and great atmosphere for family, groups of friends or individuals. Recently moved to the area but always feel welcome there by staff. Jazz, Maz and Lauren in particular are always SO helpful and friendly. Shame they don’t do quizzes or discos anymore - would love a weekly quiz to make a reappearance. All in all, great pub and happy to keep going back!

The service was amazing as was the food. The only complaint I have is that there were 16 of us and unfortunately we were split over 4 tables. It would have been nicer if we had one long table. It was wonderful though, so thank you very much!

Friendly service One food option unavailable Food - Philly steak baguette was cooked well (medium rare), onions and peppers tasty, more nacho cheese sauce would have been good.

A really friendly greeting and the staff were efficient and helpful. The food was hot when it arrived and although two items were missing, when mentioned they were quick to rectify the situation.

For my first time I was very impressed with service we received

Food was lovely and the barman Jaz a good host and rather funny 😁

Great welcoming atmosphere as soon as we walked in. Great service from the colleague who served us called Jazz..couldn't do more to make us feel welcome

always welcoming , jazz is very friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble for him

Great Friendly staff, Quick service.. highly recommended

All the staff were friendly, chatty and helpful. The carvery was very nice.

Had lovely family meal here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Served by Jahzier .

Very good service. Special thanks to Jaz.

Lovely airy setting even though the day was very warm, good food, excellent deserts, very friendly helpful staff

2 quick Sunday roasts nice and tasty cauliflower cheese is always great to have, honestly £2.50 for 2 pigs in blankets no worth it plus they were as dry as biscuit,Guinness wasn't good wife enjoyed the inchs cider

Jazz was friendly and helpful serving at the bar, carvery was fresh and good choice

Clean, friendly staff, gorgeous carvery. I will be back.

Lovely place to chill with friends and family, great food and beverages at reasonable prices, staff were amazing well worth a visit.

Great meal and great service from Lydia to match 👍🏻🕷️

Jazz is a superb host, always friendly and professional

Used to go here quite often but havent been for around a year. went for a family meal last night 26.07.2024 and waited an hour for food which was luke warm when it came. other people arround were also complaining about the temperature of the food. wish i hadent bothered and gone elsewhere. wont be going again.

Here last night excellent service from a Courtney behind the bar and Lydia who brought my food was so helpful and very welcoming and friendly . Will definitely be returning very soon 😀

If I could give 0 star for the service and the food I would, our food took 1 hour and 10 minutes to come out and by the time it did come out the food was cold, gravy congealed, burger was warm. We had booked a table for a birthday party so it was no shock that a large amount of food was being ordered. When we returned our food we was told an additional 45 minute wait was to be done so we asked for a refund and the person serving us disappeared without a trace and avoided us the like the plague. It came to something when other people on our table was offering food off of their plates so we could eat stuff. Also got given San Miguel glasses for wine as they didn’t have any wine glasses and proceeded to tell us they only had 6 total and with the San Miguel glass even that had to be taken back due to not being cleaned correctly and having lipstick around the rim. Love going to a restaurant and leaving hungry. Whilst finally getting a refund after requesting it to one of the managers Lauren who just seemed to vanish in thin air never to be seen again I had to go to the bar where I was served by another manager. Who informed me she supposed to be a manager also. Shocking.

I really enjoyed my time at the Blaina wharf I came with my family for a meal last night. I got served at the bar by a lovely lady named Courtney she gave such lovely customer service and is an asset to the team you have at the Blaina wharf. The lovely lady named Lydia that brought our food to the table was so smiley and couldn’t have done enough for the table. Will definitely return

Staff were all so welcoming, food was amazing.

Courtney at the bar really friendly and professional and Lydia for food service was really helpful . Definitely come back with the service we had .

Nice cozy environment on Sunday. Booked a table and had the Sunday Roast. Portions are generous too

Plenty outdoor tables and ashtrays available. Good value for money. Sadly i didn't try the food but they had an open buffet at the time and everything smelled amaizing x will definetly go back to try the food

We were here 17th July '24 for a meal for my nephews 18th. Food took a long time to arrive and after some people in the party had eaten their starters the main course arrived. 7 out of 8 meals were brought out. 1 missing. We were over 50% of the way through eating before one of our party had to go to the bar and wait in turn to ask where the food was while some of us tried to get the attention of staff in the kitchen behind the bar. The last meal and 3 sides came out. The reason given 'we are busy'. Next came the birthday cake, there was another table behind us also celebrating a birthday. Our cake came out with the promise of serviettes and a knife. The other table's cake came out 5 mins later. They had serviettes and a knife delivered, we were still waiting. We gave up and used a knife from the pot on the table, which was diffucult to cut the cake as it was a very tall cake. All in all, the food was good, when we had it, but the service was not good at all. The pub was about 30% full so there should be no reason why these issues occured. We visit this pub regularly and on the day we were celebrating with family, we were let down

This pub has a lovely beer garden with a small kids area. The carvery was very satisfying and we travel to specifically come to the pub as we like it so much. Jazz is very friendly and makes my wife the best long island iced tea that she has ever had. Highly recommend a visit, especially on a summer's day

Went for a meal here tonight, food came out quickly lovely and hot, staff are young but soooo lovely. Well done! Atmosphere warm and cosy.

Every one was great and attentive. Mazz was especially helpful and friendly when ordering.

Best thing about this pub is Mazz

Mazz was fantastic 👏 thank you Mazz

Lovely place lovely food👌and service with a smile from Stevie 😁

Went in to watch football nice atmosphere

Jaz behind the bar gave us brilliant service!

Great carvery and atmosphere today The whole team are amazing. Maz went over and above to make sure we were looked after

The bartender working on our visit, Jaz, was super helpful and friendly and made our visit that extra special.

Lovely pub, really good service and friendly staff.

This is a lovely pub and I’m lucky it’s my local one. The staff are so friendly, the food is amazing and the drink selection is fab. Jaz in particular has been so helpful and bubbly. Any time my friends or family visit Newport I always take them here even if it’s for a couple drinks, a meal out or a carvery if you can get a table! I highly recommend the premium burgers.

Lovely place to come and unwind. Beautiful food and a great atmosphere. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. We was served by Lauren who is always smiling and happy to help.

Had lovely food sunday was amazing definitely 5 stars and will be looking forward to coming back for great food and hospitality my waitress Lauren was very helpful and had great customer service also. Thankyou.

Myself and the wife thought carvery would be nice at the Blaina Wharf Newport. The standard of food, very dry, lacking choice, this has seemed to be a theme lately. The young waitress came over and took our three quarter full plate asked sheepishly was everything okay.

Lovely meal, served by Jahzier who went the extra mile to ensure my nan had a good meal! definitely recommend x

Hi myself, wife and daughter visited the Blaina Wharfe on Sunday 07/12/2024. Myself and my daughter had a carvery and my wife had the Ultimate chicken burger. We were Informed they would advise when the burger was nearly ready. Excellent I thought. When the young lady advised the burger was just about ready I was thinking brilliant. .myself and my daughter collected our carveries and had nearly finished , when my wife enquired about her burger. The young lady went to check , returned and advised just plating up and it will be out . Nearly 25 minutes after being told the burger was nearly ready to receiving it . What I thought was a brilliant service turned out to be really disappointing . And my wife ended up eating lunch by herself.

Tom peplow and Nathan acquilina were both amazing complete professionalism, very friendly made us very welcome Can’t wait to come back!!!!

Booked online for a sunday lunch, food was ok but have had better. The bar person (Mazz) who served us was very friendly and super efficient, made us feel very welcome too.
