Blas at Fronlas in Pembrokeshire

Had a wonderful lunch for my brother's 60th. We were really looked after. Lovely food and attentive service. From fish boards through to vegan delights, would certainly visit again.

We just love BLAS! Always make a bee-line for Blas when we’re down, never ever disappointed as Martina, Jason, Clare and everyone who works there always make us feel super welcome! And we’ve just had the most delicious lunch- 10 out of 10! Thank you! Ben, Fran, Mimi, Granny Annie, Grandpa and Granny P x

Stopped here on the way back from a hilltop walk. Excellent food quality, prompt and cosy, highly recommended

Food was good - young waiting staff friendly but other staff aloof and appearing to want us to clear the table . There was no pressure on the table but we missed the warmth of the previous owners.

Lovely little cafe - ended up here as it was the only place around open for lunch on a Monday! Food was very nice and the cafe was cosy.

We received such a warm & friendly welcome. Breakfast was amazing. They did various options for us such as gluten & dairy free. The bedrooms were very comfortable. We hugely enjoyed our stay.

Lovely little cafe with good food and really nice servers

Had a hot chocolate 🍫 with my grandpa after shopping at the market - it was delightful 😊

Great rooms. Great food. Great location and great price

Stayed here 2 nights to attend a wedding.All the staff were very helpful & friendly.Facilities were lovely other than en-suite being tiny.Lunch (excellent quiche)& breakfast (nicest bacon ever)was lovely.Would definitely re-visit.

Varied breakfast and lunch menu, great quality food. Lovely staff, we always return when in Newport

Why can't all cafés be like this?

Excellent coffee and sour dough toast. Really lovely setting

We stayed here for two nights for our first wedding anniversary and had such a lush time. We were in the big room on the top floor and it was stunning. The owners were super friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We will be returning for sure :-)

Das Café mit den darüber liegenden sehr sauberen Zimmern ist entzückend. Die netten Menschen, die dort arbeiten freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vorne und hinten laden Sitzplätze zum Verweilen in der Sonne ein. Obwohl die Enge und die Treppen des alten Häuschens für eine Gehbehinderte etwas schwierig waren, machten das die Atmosphäre und das Design der Umgebung leicht wett. Frühstück und Kuchen im Café sehr lecker. Der Ort ist auch ein Besuch wert.

Outstanding level of service, we just stopped by for coffee and cake, and had two wet dogs with us, as it was pouring with rain, so were happy to sit outside at one of the tables underneath the canopy. After I placed my order I was asked our table number, and the server seemed horrified that we would be outside in such awful weather. I explained about the dogs, and also that I wasn't sure how they would behave, they've never been inside a cafe before. But no problem, she suggested a table right at the back of the room, and even asked the young man who was sitting there if he would mind moving to another table!! Apparently he was a regular, so I'm guessing she knew he wouldn't mind. So kind of him and the server, I have never known such thoughtfulness. Wholeheartedly recommend. (And the dogs behaved impeccably;)

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at this friendly, centrally-located cafe. The ingredients were first-rate, the wine was excellent and the serving sizes were perfect. Just what we were looking for on my husband's birthday!

We had a most wonderful time. It is our 40th wedding anniversary and the staff were so friendly and made us feel special. It was a very chilled and relaxed experience. I just wished we had booked room 3. That was our mistake. It is just such a gorgeous room. Thank you so much for our special stay.

Really great menu - satisfying the vegetarians and vegans in our family. It was busy but the turnover seemed quick. We shared a large table with a local couple, our dog sitting happily under the table. The food was served by friendly, efficient staff. An unmissable fantastic cafe!

Good salmon and cream cheese baguette, good coffee.

Popped in today for lunch. Very impressed. Delicious food, friendly service and dogs allowed too.

My favourite place to stay in the world.. always stay with work and Martina and Jason are the friendliest people I’ve met would recommend to anyone 10 times out of 10

Excellent lunch here . Food service is excellent .

We were disappointed by our lunch. Bacon and Brie Panini was so thin hardly any brie. No cheese oozing out. Ham and mixed leaves sandwich. Ham was fine but don't call cos lettuce mixed leaves. Sorry.

Stayed for two nights whilst visiting friends. Could not have been made more welcome, spotlessly clean and food excellent. (We even brought some of the cawl home with us). We had our dog with us and he was equally welcomed. Will definitely return. Penny

We’d left it a bit late for lunch but no problem. Lovely food, good portions and a nice pot of tea. Rustic and cosy interior. Good experience all round. Will be back.

Just had a fabulous long weekend here and couldn’t fault the place. Martina and Jason are wonderful hosts and great to chat with. Rooms were well equipped, cosy & warm. The breakfast was perfect. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Newly refurbished room 3 is amazing! Well done both. I also commend the small army of support staff who were also attentive and polite. Newport is well and truly in our hearts.

Popped in here for last breakfast of our holiday - eggs, sausage, bacon and toast was perfection! As was the flat white 😋

Really lovely food in a lovely place and made to feel very welcome. We were offered a bowl of water for our two Whippets. Not our first visit and won't be the last. Going back soon. 😁❤️

The food here is tasty but it’s such an uncomfortable experience I wouldn’t return. One of the staff goes out of her way to make certain visitors feel unwelcome. I think for us it was our dog that upset her ( usually we receive lots of compliments about his behaviour he’s well behaved ). We did give it two tries but left immediately on the second go when her scowl sent us packing! It’s a shame because the other staff seemed lovely.

Fantastic place, really enjoy going here, been a few times over the years when in the area. Always have the Welsh beef cawl and it never disappoints. Will hopefully pop in on Wednesday for another serving before driving home on Wednesday

This place is amazing! Always have a lovely time visiting. They went out of their way to create a private lunch for our family the day after our wedding. The food was delicious and the service wonderful! The garden out the back is such a sun trap.

We were welcomed warmly by Martina and some of her staff who helped us with luggage and made us at home. The rooms were well presented and the facilities fully explained. Each day we enjoyed their excellent and ample breakfast and as a result needed no lunch. A request for granola cereal and fruit (not on the menu) was cheerfully accepted. One of our group was a coeliac which was fully understood and catered for. Service was prompt and with a smile from whichever staff were on duty: They were happy to chat between dealing with us and the many customers. The bedrooms were small but well laid out with good en suites including efficient showers. The beds were of double size but comfortable. The lounge on the top floor was for our exclusive use with refreshments a TV and a frig and is comfortable and offers good views of Newport. Any issues with the rooms were promptly addressed by Jason. The only one he couldn't do anything about was the noise from outside in the morning from trucks and vans going about their business, but it didn't harm our sleep.

Two of us stopped here for lunch on Friday afternoon. Great service, friendly and helpful.There is quite an extensive menu to suit everyone. It is certainly worth dropping in if you are in Newport.

Good food and excellent atmosphere

Great for lunch. Good portion sizes. Seating available indoors and out. Food was fresh and locally sourced. Recommended.

Bras at Fronlas in Newport is a pearl at the Welsh west coast. The B&B has two well equipped and very clean rooms and a nice lounge at the top floor with a great view on the surroundings. Breakfast, of a very broad choice, is in the cosy restaurant at ground floor. Whatever we chose tasted magnificent, not to mention the coffee which is beyond anything we have tasted in the UK before. No wonder the place is always full with guest during all opening hours. But it is the staff that gives the place a scent of magic. Tina and Jason with Claire, Daisy and the others provided an atmosphere (and “hygge” as we say in Danish) that was so warm, loving and inviting that we all felt very very welcome and well taken care of. Definitely the place to visit when in Wales.

What a fantastic place. Went there for lunch which was superb. Small and compact but the service and food was exceptional. So good that we went back for breakfast and then breakfast baguettes to take away. Open for breakfasts and lunch but not evening meals. I will be back 10/10

Pretty expensive. 19 quid for two bacon sandwiches and a pot of tea. For pembs that's pretty wild.

Menu for Sunday lunch was very poor. Limited to baguettes with a) bacon b) sausage and c) bacon and sausage. And there are no tomatoes, salad or any sauce with it. You get baguette and bacon/sausage for £6.50. Maybe chef is on vacation because on my previous visits food was good. Service was fast and friendly.

Beautiful restaurant, fantastic atmosphere and very attentive staff I had the best Ploughman’s Lunch ever. The quality of the ingredients was exceptional. It was big enough to share but I didn’t realise that until after we ordered!!! Haha

Called in for lunch and decided to share the seafood platter. It was fabulous. Really tasty pate with great smoked salmon and prawns. Ridiculous as it sounds it could have been improved with a bit more of the delicious bread even if it meant a reduction in the quantity of the seafood

Excellent lunch with mackerel pate and prawn panini with children’s picnic Great and very friendly service We ate outside and able to enjoy the Monday market Reasonably priced and very good value

Absolutely delicious welsh cakes and coffee! Very accommodating to our little family - we're all big fans :)

We had a fantastic lunch here en route to Newport Sands. The ambience was great; laid back tunes floating over the sun-trap garden. The service was great; friendly, attentive, helpful. The food was great; we sampled the quiche, the beef cawl, and the rarebit which were all delicious. We will certainly be back.

We came here on the recommendation that they did great breakfasts, but we were a little underwhelmed. The coffees were very good but the breakfast menu was quite limited. They had gluten free toast available (bread rolls) but the scrambled eggs were poor quality and our bread had not even been buttered, nor did it come with any butter. We didn’t go back sadly.

I had a very tasty Fisherman's platter and partner had cheese and ham panini, both delicious and good portions .... friendly, relaxed atmosphere , good choice of dishes, happy to recommend

Stayed here for 2 nights , really lovely place , bedrooms really clean and comfortable. The room upstairs is also great for sitting and enjoying the views over Newport bay. Excellent hosts, nothing was too much trouble for Martine and Jason

A friendly and warm welcome awaits - Great coffee and delicious cakes in this busy cafe - obviously popular with locals and visitors alike - we visited three mornings running - dog friendly too!

A delightful casual lunch for four of us. Beautifully complex lentil soup with spinach, sweet potato, etc and a surprising little pop of cardamom. Others had the Welsh classic ‘camel’, a jolly prawn and smoked salmon salad and a piping hot Welsh leek and ham pie: all creamy and lovely. The service was Uber cool (if Wet Leg open a cafe ritz gonna be like this). The food was made with loving care and is a credit to the town. Delightful, an absolute little treasure of a place…

I rang up for a breakfast takeout order, the food was prepared instantly! And was hot a fresh to order. A good start to my day for sure.

We stayed 2 nights in one of the 2 rooms available at Blas for my cousin's 75 birthday party in Newport. Martina and Jason were lovely and made us feel very welcome! Room had En Suite and was very well furnished and comfortable. Our dog...

First time visit but certainly not the last. Wonderful food, cozy atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff, dog-friendly, and good value. Homemade beef cawl and soup of the day were both delicious, while the paninis for our friends scored highly as well. Wide range of tempting homemade...

We love your bacon rolls! Really tasty fresh bread and bacon perfectly cooked for a delicious morning office treat delivered with a smile.

Been coming here for years and through three different ownerships. The food is excellent as is the friendly service. Great ambiance a real favourite of ours and our family.

Great local place for breakfast / coffee... We've been a couple of times as a family and the service has always been prompt and food excellent.

Very very slow service here today. Yes they were busy but it got beyond a joke when the drinks took half an hour to come. Food- please if you advise something as on toast, please make sure it’s on toast not on soggy bread with...

Delicious roasted vegetable panini and prawn baguette. Sat outside in the small courtyard garden which was lovely.

Lovely, local, independent place for breakfast, coffee, lunch or cake. Delicious fresh salads, baguettes, grazing boards… Nice seating indoors and outside. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious panini and salad. Varied menu and friendly service. We'll visit again next time. Reasonably priced

Soft drinks pricey. £3 a drink. Nice place. Food served till 3 pm. Also open evenings. Indoor and outdoor seating. Parking on road.

Excellent Fisherman’s platter: Went out for a birthday treat and found BLAS at Fronlas in Newton.Pembs. Had to wait for an outside table to become available but it was well worth it, and ordered a Fisherman’s Platter. Absolutely georgeous ! ! Best plate of food...

Had to work remotely for a few days and set up shop here. Really lovely atmosphere, coffee, cake and wifi! Also came back with family for lunch which was delicious. Highly recommend popping by if you are in the area.

Popped in for coffee and cake. Unfortunately the scones were dry and came with a very small portion of jam. The cream was whipped and not the usual clotted cream. May be it’s the new management style of doing things and us being spoilt to...

Sadly having to say goodbye to Newport we treated ourselves to the highly recommended Welsh breakfast at Blas. It did not disappoint and set us up well for our trek home.

Amazing in every way, gorgeous sun trap garden, delicious food and perfect service - couldn’t ask for anything better !

An amazing place for lunch with a tranquil atmosphere and very friendly welcome. Also, it’s dog friendly which is wonderful. The menu is small but the food is phenomenal. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. We will return again and...

We went in for coffee but couldn’t resist the amazing breakfast . Coffee was perfect . Ambience , service , warmth was all perfect . Defiantly going back while we are here , only sad thing is it isn’t open in the evenings too ....

I could instantly tell that it was under new ownership, it was very different in many ways. I certainly hope it will be a success! The previous owner had customer service, welcoming staff, care for customers at the very top of their priorities. It wasn’t...

Since moving to the area recently we have found this little gem on the Newport Market street. We have sampled the breakfast while sitting in the delightful garden to the rear of the cafe. Gorgeous filling cooked breakfast using local ingredients. Various lunches have be...

A visit to Blas in a crisp cold wintery morning proved to be a disaster as they insisted on having the front door wide open. Whilst we appreciate that ventilation is necessary these days, a couple of open windows would probably work just as well....

Called in for a coffee and cake after a walk. Great place with lovely coffee and selection of cakes that was hard to choose from!. Really friendly atmosphere with all tables full and efficient and smiling, welcoming staff. Love calling in here when we’re in...

What a disappointment. We visited today (3/11) after having many a lovey visit on previous holidays. We arrived (4 adults, 6m old baby and 3 dogs). We agreed with a very polite waitress that we would wait for a large table inside.. not a problem....

During our week long stay we visited a number to times. The coffee was excellent, proper bit of cake and the sausage baguette was superb. Service was polite and fast.

We found Blas on a wet and windy day in October and it's an absolute gem. It's a cosy cafe inside with street-side seating at the front (good for people watching) and a lovely garden at the back (l imagine it's perfect when the sun...

What a find! Best grazing boards and coffee we’ve had in a while. Service good despite being very busy. Thank you!

Fantastic breakfast! Came for breakfast this week. First class service from the team - who were super helpful. Great ambiance, local produce and local artwork. Well worth a visit!

Couldn't have been made more welcome. Despite the fact they were run off their feet ( grim weather had sent hordes off the beaches in search of lunch) every member of staff was charming and efficient. There was a bit of a wait for food,...

The service and quality of food, drinks was excellent!! Very warm welcome from the staff. If you’re in the area would highly recommend a visit if you have time.

The service we had at Blas at Fronlas restored our faith in Newport hospitability! We were camping nearby for 4 nights and called in on a drizzly day for coffee and cake (having called in a few shops and had a less than enthusiastic welcome!)...…..it's...

I have rarely stayed, or eaten, anywhere so special. The rooms, the cafe and their host Lindsey are really classy, beautiful and individual. I cannot recommend Blas highly enough and will be back as soon as I can!
