Gaer Inn in Newport

Great atmosphere, great staff and even better food. Beer's good too.

A great local place, a cracking menu and nice beers. Good play area outside for kids too.

We had a dinner, Ribs and Wings ( 13.00£) and BBQ Feast For 2 ( 30.00£). Do not order Meal For 2, because it’s same like Ribs and Wings just they added more 2 sausages and pulled beef! I don’t think it’s worth extra 17.00£!!! This meal for 2 is more meal for one! It’s a robbery

Unfortunately the one room was taken over by a biker group who were having their own meeting while others tried to enjoy meals and drinks

I visit the Gaer Inn often. The staff are fantastic, plenty of options for drinks, top facilities, and food is good. Suitable for if you want to catch up with a few friends, allow the kids to burn some energy whilst you have a couple of drinks, and perfect set up for watching sports. Highly recommended.

Nice food at great prices but service can be quite slow, had to remove a star arrived there today at 6.50pm kitchen closed ? States online open until 8 pm ,seems to be getting worse every week now one staff member to serve two separate bars and food and kitchen closes at will no notice , removed another star today I purchased a chip shop platter £13.70 for me and a chicken platter for my son £11.70 so with a drink each £32 , my fish was paper thin with loads of batter and cost £5 more for a small fish cake 3 scampi and tiny amount of curry and even though states bread and butter I received none , never again both of us ate again after meal if you want value for money stick to the 2 meals for £13.50 Monday to Thursday as more expensive meals are just not worth it and often missing items listed on menu no reason given.

Beautiful people as customers and beautiful food. No juke box and if you request a song behind bar with staff it never gets played maybe a jukebox would be good. Just my opinion

Fantastic place. Our band played here. Friendly people, would recommend!

Good atmosphere,great food and a nice pint friendly staff

Ye this place was great it's just been renovated by the brewery and looks really good can't give a rating for food because it was a funeral and we bought our own food bit I think it was around £4.00 for three halves of lager I think that was ok the car park is not massive so parking could be a problem parking on side streets are also not so recommended so watch you keave early to get a space well worth a visit for sure

Don’t expect to feel welcome if your young im 20 years old and went there Saturday for a drink alone around 4 in the afternoon as I waited for my mate I walked in and asked to use the toilet was told its not a public toilet I said I was here to buy a drink aswel just needed to go to the toilet first was told no so I asked if I could buy a drink was told I’m to young I said I’m 20 and I have id I was told to get out and not come back (I know David Thomas who runs the pub as he was a teacher when I went to school)

I held my mum's 90th birthday gathering here today and the team could not have been more accommodating. The food was lovely, everyone enjoyed it. And the staff were fantastic. Thank you very much.

A fantastic pub.wonderful staff amazing food.great welcome.

I really enjoyed my food. The staff were really friendly. I had chicken nuggets 🤤, chips and beans; the beans were tasty, the nuggets were the best nugs I have ever had from a restaurant and finally, the chips, they were really good, you should have them with 🧂 salt 🧂 I will visit again soon.

Fun and friendly pub quiz on a Wednesday. Staff have always been great. Welcomed with a smile everytime!

I came into this place for a toilet and a drink just a simple Coca Cola but I was met with so much rudeness from the staff member telling me to leave just because I had a toilet before i purchased my drink absolute horrible place would not recommend for yourself or your kids. I’m outraged.

We popped in for a family meal this evening. The lady behind the bar was very friendly and welcoming. The tables were clean and the Kids enjoyed playing with the toys whilst they waited for their food. The service was quick and all our meals came out hot. Although we thought there could of been more choice on the menu, we were all happy with our meals and thought it was good value for money. A great family pub on your doorstep!

Beautiful pub food... cheap as chips 😊

Not a bad pint but food was disappointing , not much option

Really good Sunday lunch. Meal well cooked and very reasonable price. Very quiet and unrushed. Serving ladies very friendly and helpful. Only one grip male chef a little grumpy when we asked to have our deserts in beer garden, so we could watch grandchildren whilst they played on equipment.

Food was on pair the best around newport had the lasagna and fish and chips 5* and cooked to perfection well rated, excellent customer service and atmosphere

Excellent value food very tasty my wife did not like the red wine replaced no argument met some loverly people but I'm a gear boy and the Inn was my local many years ago.

Local nusance noisy bands who can't sing ignorant staff and owner no consideration to local residents

Glad we chose here for early dinner, friendly staff, good atmosphere, great value and standard of meal for X2 mains for only £12 We both had the buttermilk chicken burger with fries (2 fillets and fries some of the best I've had.) We also had the Eaton mess waffle for dessert, so we could eat this we boxed up half our burger to take home (they provided a box for us too!) Will definitely return! 😀👍

Great food, great service really enjoyed our meals ,left with full bellies,will return soon, definitely

Nice pint the. Walk around local parck

Lush food freshly cooked! Friendly staff also

Great pub, run by very friendly people with soft heart for children and families …

Food was nice pizza was great..would go again

Lovely venue with a great selection of beverages.. Didn't have food on my visit so I can't comment personally on it. but the word of mouth is that or is very very good

Lovely and friendly staff. Ordered food and kids meals came free which in today's climate is great. Food was lovely and we'll definitely go again.

Brilliant holiday plenty to do only problem short of bar staff

Food was not great. Didn't have half of the items on the menu.

If i could give a no star rating i would. Pre ordered our meals for mothers day lunch, waited over an hour for the starters. Waited another 30+ minutes, i asked how long for the main meals. The vegetarian meal was burnt. 3 hours for 2 courses. We didn't stay for the puddings.

Great pint , land lord was helpful nice food 👍

The food was excellent and the service was great what a nice pub

Great night out,first time we been here.Drag artist was really good.will be back soon.

Went for a Sunday lunch, and the pub was very quiet. Really don't understand why though, because the food was absolutely delicious, and the lady who looked after us was very friendly. We'll definitely be going back on another occasion for another meal.

Had a delicious Christmas meal here with my friends. The food was excellent and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I will be visiting again! Thank you x

Called in for a pint had my shopping with me ended up staying a lot longer great atmosphere

Dreadful place waited 15mins to be served for a drink bat staff not got a clue had to tell them how to make a rum an coke ,it wasn't even busy 😫

Nice Sunday roast, thick, tasty gravy, friendly stuff. Definitely I'll come back

Great local pub, decent prices and food. Much improvement over the last year with new landlord & landlady

Fantastic local, friendly staff, good service

Face very rude behavior from one of the lady staff yesterday morning 24th oct 2022

A hidden jewel - very neat, great views, food and drinks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thanks David for making us feel very welcome and good luck for the future

Visited recently and am impressed with how it's changed over the years. Good atmosphere, friendly staff we felt very welcome. Will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely meal and lovely service, sat in the turret, nice and private 👍👍

Food overpriced based on portion size and other pubs in the local area. Food also overcooked and not the nicest. Shame as previously had a good meal there but won't look to return for now as want enjoy my food and go home full on leaving.

Lovely place, lovely garden, food ok, just a bit pricey for drinks, especially considering (ultimately) its a pub on an estate. If the drinks were slightly cheaper, I would go there a lot more.

Very welcoming by staff. Food excellent, freshly cooked to order. Will be bacl at some juncture.

I was here attending a funeral wake. The place was spotless, food all laud out beautifully and friendly greetings from staff. Another guests mentioned how lovely tge meals were also. I look forward to visiting again

Tasty hot meal reasonably priced.

Arrived for evening meal to celebrate my birthday...hadn't booked but was quiet...female staff member was very rude, and told us that we would have to wait until a group of 19people who had booked, but were arriving in dribs and drabs booked their food first, and then she would be able to take our order in an hour's time....totally unacceptable and would never go there again..the female staff member also stopped another staff member from taking our order...

Lovely atmosphere, staff really friendly and relaxed. Food was lovely. Will defo be back again soon.

Very good service and friendley

8 of my family and dog, had a 3 course meal on Christmas Eve. The food, along with the staff , was great. Everything was done to make our experience worth remembering. The bar staff, serving staff and kitchen staff were all very accommodating. A lovely time. This was my first meal at the Gate Inn. It will not be my last.

Went for a family birthday meal. Food was excellent and great value for money. Staff were really friendly and helpful, service was great. New owners are lovely. will certainly be coming back

Met the family here today and had a meal which I have to say was outstanding. I had the chip shop platter and my sisters had the hunters chicken.My goodness it was superb and we will definitely be going back.10 out 10 for your chef.

The pub itself seems nice enough, the bar staff are accommodating and there seemed to be a nice crowd in. Our experience was badly let down by the manager, who displayed all the customer service skills of a prison guard. Won't be setting foot in the place again.

Slow service, some of the group had finished their meal before their food even arrived. Small portions. Didn't have some food which was previously ordered. Meals were overpriced to what was given. One onion ring??????

I had a lunch here with four of my family. It was a shame we were the only only party there as it is a lovely place and deserves to be a success. The decor is beautiful, the views extensive and the host was very welcoming and helpful. The starters menu is a bit limited but a good selection of mains and desserts. I was so pleased to find a pub that is serving lasagne, and so tasty too!The Gaer Inn is one of the best pubs in Newport and we will be back.

Food very nice staff really friendly. Enjoyable experience

It was ten out of ten.the atmosphere in there is much better NOW happy with the food and many more to come a big thank you to the landlords 🍻

Nice place situated on a hill with a lovely view

Lovely food for the money and very friendly staff

Had a lovely family get-together for my Birthday the food was good. the little ones had a lot of fun in the garden area and Eve made us very welcome Definitely recommend 😀

Tried on the off chance and had a good meal, a nice drink, but most of all excellent service. The staff work so hard there. It’s a lovey setting, good view and big beer garden and play area. Very reasonably priced too. We’ll be back!

Lovely staff makes you feel welcome

Nice pub with a great outdoor seating, a little expensive but worth it 👌

Great as always. Eve and Martyn are doing a fab job. Keeping the place going under all the guidelines. Get behind them and support our local pub. Its a lovely family pub, with a lovely little park and great food

Felt like ur bein watched constantly I appreciate restrictions

Awful experience here, staff rude and unwelcoming from the very start. Will not be coming back here again any time soon.

Motorcycle friendly, very attentive good table service

Great local pub, have been here several times now. The food is good and very reasonably priced, I recommend the mac n cheese. New owners have been working hard to develop a family friendly atmosphere. Worth noting that the garden has excellent disabled access. No hotel facilities at present.

Lovely pub, lovely garden space and staff are super friendly

Very friendly good quality food at a reasonable price.

A very chilled place with great staff!

Yes you was closed when I wrote the review. But my bad review is based on you shouting at my 8 year old daughter for trying to help you move chair's when you was open. You have absolutely zero people skills.And when I challenged you you disappeared and asked your Mrs to ask us to leave. Was you really expecting a good review when you treat long standing customers like this? And I'm baffled how you have managed to be running such a long standing community pub. Bearing in mind I had a fantastic relationship with every other landlord there since the 90s.

Food is amazing!! Covid measures are spot on!!! Staff are so professional... Our waitress was so friendly and welcoming we felt safe and comfortable..Thank you Gaer Inn...

The staff was very friendly and helpful especially with the social distancing rules.

You could not ask for a better pub to enjoy your self lovely people and great crack 🤣

Definitely improving, at this rate might make 5*.

Hi it very friendly great food good bike night lots of space out side and in side lovely bar staff .a nice pub to spend an enjoyable day out love it good pint and food and good people .

Always a good welcome food good and the bike night in aid of blood bikes is bringing community spirits together in these tough times Well done highly recommended

Good food very good service definitely go back agen

Me and my partner went to have a meal on Tuesday. It was warm and welcoming. The landlord Martyn was lovely. And the chef is called mel. And the food was excellent. We will go back. Xxx

Modern style pub serving expected pub food including great burgers. Also had gammon, lamb shank, tikka masala and desserts. Nice portions, nice presentation. Pub is well set out for Covid safe. Heineken zero zero on draft which was great. Nice staff. Overall a good experience and much better than similar pubs in the same family dining market. Will definitely return.

Poorly organised, a reduced menu mainly focused on burgers. Also no ice available on one of the rare hot days we get!

went for a family meal ,the food was amazing ,the staff were freindly and welcoming ,the landlord was great interacted with my little boy ,great prices ,had a lovley afternoon out will def be returning .

Lovely meal. Good service and completely safe in these hard times

Have been here a few times now since pubs reopened, they have great measures in place, plenty of outside tables, friendly staff and delicious food 😀

Absolutely spotless when we went in to a very organised pub. I felt really safe and very welcome. Lovely food and drinks with excellent service. Cant wait to go again.

Lovely food and a really good job at reopening with social distancing in mind

Great Local, lovely size Beer Garden

Had a few beers today for the 1st time in years and FP the beer was a lot better than most places the people that run it are really nice people had a good chat with them and just really enjoyed the hour we was there used 2 spend many Saturdays there years ago with top people from the gaer and was always wicked.i will definitely be go up there more often again now and the way they have furnished and changed it is top notch

Visited today for a family meal,with our 3 year old Grandson,lovely food and such reasonable prices,felt very welcome with a toddler in tow,we will be back soon,lovely local pub.

Friendly atmosphere good food great service

Went for a birthday meal only to be told you haven't booked. There was 6 people in the pub. One meal was beeing taken back because it was microwaved.
