Goldcroft Inn in Newport

It was decent enough. The food was very good. The service was very friendly, but a bit confusing. We'd pre-booked, and had to hunt for someone to show us to our table. Drinks and the food came quickly but then we were left alone once the meal arrived rather than being asked if everything was okay, which some people prefer and I didn't mind. I was surprised that we weren't offered dessert menus after our mains. And it wasn't clear that we had to pay at the bar. I'd probably go again but with adjusted expectations.

Booked a table for my father's birthday/retirement celebrations on 01/04/24. We arrived at 1pm to an empty pub and were informed by staff they were running a "very limited" menu. We were then handed a long list of food they had run out of which was as long as the menu itself. We ended up having to leave and try to find somewhere which accepted walk-ins as they had essentially run out of food. Pretty inconvenient on a busy bank holiday! We were contacted Sunday night to confirm we still wanted the booking - perhaps next time explain you've run out of food beforehand to save a wasted journey?!

We were visiting from the US and staying in the beautiful town of Carleon. We stopped in at the Goldcroft without a reservation on a Friday evening and were able to sit in the bar area & order dinner. They had a couple of servers out ill and appeared there was only one server, however she made us feel at home and was calm throughout our service. We enjoyed the atmosphere & it seemed many locals were here as well. Terrific food and wonderful drink selections.

Excellent food and service, we loved it!!

What a cosy, friendly place. The staff were so lovely and welcoming. We had never been before but were shown to a table and really looked after. The place was full with both families and adult groups. The menu selection had plenty of choice and the food was delicious. We highly recommend and will definitely return.

Big shout out to Cody, Gemma, and Loiuse for our amazing time. Thank you hun

Had the most brilliant experience here. They were sooooo attentive. Gemma, Cody and Lewis were fab 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

7 of us were here for Bottomless brunch, we had an amazing time! Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!! Gemma, Lewis and Cody were brilliant, very attentive and made the whole experience so amazing!

We went to the Goldcroft for lunch with a couple of friends, expecting a nice quiet atmosphere to have a meal and a chat. How our hopes were soon shattered, a group of young girls were sat at a corner table supposedly enjoying a Bottomless brunch. The way they were behaving was in our view deplorable, shouting out and screaming, it was so bad we could not hear ourselves think let alone have a decent conversation. We complained to the staff about it but were ignored until finally they offered us a table in a quieter corner of the pub. We were disgusted by their behaviour, and it really spoiled our afternoon with our friends who had travelled a long way to meet up with us, so we really felt let down. Also for the money we paid, the food in our opinion left a lot to be desired as well. From here on in, next time we go out for a meal it will be to a much higher class of restaurant who gives due consideration to the comfort and well being of their customers. The Goldcroft will not be seeing us again for dust!!

Such a beautiful evening spent with friends. The food was delicious, service was amazing, we weren’t rushed and it was so clean and tidy there. A really lovely atmosphere and worth every single penny.

Good and bad. 8 of us came for an evening out. Staff were friendly and polite and the menu looked good. We ordered various meals but unfortunately two out of the eight were inedible. The dishes that included rice were very acidic and were unable to be consumed. It was a disappointment. However they were gracious enough to remove these from the bill. Our only other gripe was the smoke that poured in from the outside smoking area when someone returned from outside. The double doors for this area opened straight into the dining area to where people were eating. Unfortunately some smokers left the doors open on their return which was unpleasant for diners. As previously stated, most of our meals were good and were tasty and the chips were delicious

Went to the pub for New Years eve following a recommendation from a friend who attended last year. But, after hearing from her the standard of the buffet was second to none my expectations were quite high, So I very disappointed with the buffet which was served. Not only was the buffet filled with beige food, the amount served was insufficient for the amount of people it was catering for.

Late luncheon with friends. Expected it to be busy in pre Christmas week, but it wasn't. Consequently we got served quite quickly by a cheery young lady. Good value 2 meals for £17. Limited choice, fish, beef brisket etc. Would say the meals were tasty and piping hot, not brilliant but good for a lunchtime. Very reasonable, good service too.

Absolutely amazing service and reasonable food prices!

Great Halloween party and the free buffet was a nice touch

Great frirndly pub, great service and excellent staff. fab sunday lunch and equally as good if you just fancy a drink

Excellent food, the Sunday lunch was very nice. Staff were friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend

Visited the goldcroft for a birthday bottomless brunch food and alcohol amazing value for money staff very friendly and hard working looking into going for our Christmas get together in January

Always happy to come here, food very good, service quick, plenty to choice from on menu. Nice garden area when dry. Been here numerous times

Party of 8. The two meals for £15.00 lunch much menu is great value for money. I had the brisket and it was delicious. Most of the party really enjoyed their meal with one saying it was the best Caesar Salad she had had. Downside is parking close by is at a premium in a very busy part of Caerleon. It was busy in the pub but by no means full. With only two staff serving we waited over an hour for our food to arrive. Friendly staff. Could do with more real ales!

I was there for a wake , following a local funeral sad day but fantastic food ! A must visit , you won't be disappointed .

I visited the Goldcroft for a birthday meal. The Goldcroft handled the reservation well and the pub was very warm and welcoming. I am a fan of the outdoor area. The food here was good, nothing that was exceptional but I would be happy to return.

Had lunch here a few times recently. Parking can be a problem but always find somewhere nearby. Clean and comfortable with friendly and efficient staff. Good food and drinks. Good value, in fact the ' special` Luncheon menu is incredibly value. Some local well known rivals, see previous reviews, are no longer the place to be, with excessive pricing for similar standards of fare. It's the place to be now in Caerleon, especially for lunch. Only one ' complaint'... despite being advised by me on several occasions, and by others to my knowledge, the management persist in flying the Union Flag in the beer garden upside down! As they are not ' signalling distress' the only other known reason for this is to insult the King! Seems odd to persist with this knowingly? Better not to fly it at all. Aside from this, an excellent little pub all round.

I went with a group of friends who were deaf, plus some were blind, including myself. We had a terrible server from a lady behind the bar, who couldn't be bothered to help us with the food menu. So she justed walked away and decided to fob us off with a gentleman bar assistant, who I might add was very pleasant and helpful. We all felt very uncomfortable because of her attitude towards us, which was uncalled for when trying to place an order. Some of us had to wait for a very long time before receiving the food. Plus one friend who asked for gluten free gravy because she has gluten tolerance and ended up given the wrong thing, plus she had to leave with half her food in a box, because the service was so slow.. Just so you know I feel there should be disability awareness to be more understanding with consideration of those who have some difficulties more than others.. Apart from that the food was nice.

Unfortunately, not a great experience. Went to celebrate a family birthday for an early dinner and had to wait nearly an hour for the food, even though the restaurant was not busy! The salmon salad was really dissapointing, with just lettuce & croutons. No other salad accessories, such as cucumber or tomatoes, so quite an extension main. Other food, just average 😒

Beautiful food and good value Friendly and excellent service Love the flamingo straws in the cocktails Great garden and relaxed atmosphere

Grrat food as always. Fantastic smoked salmon ceasar salad 😋 Lovely friendly staff. Great outdoor area.

Decent pub, friendly staff, nice beer garden to soak up the sunshine with a decent pint

Fun friendly staff, nice garden to sit in. The food with the bottomless brunch was not enough personally. Choices came in 3 dishes. Garlic bread best I have ever had. The choices for drinks were good though.

Lovely pub with great food and good beers. Lovely decked beer garden.

staff were lovely. sadly had to wait 1 hour and 30 mins for our food. and then a further 20 mins at the bar waiting just to pay our bill. food was nice but not worth the wait.

Went for lunch and was very surprised by the quality of the food from the two meals for £15 . The service was a little slow but this was due to several large parties will be back soon.

Staff were friendly, efficient and seemed happy in their job. Food was excellent. Will definitely be going back.

Had the best service and food today, would recommend to everyone.

Popped in for lunch greeted by rude manner/owner which continued throughout our meal. The food was okay nothing special but I wouldn’t have minded if the service had been half decent, really unwelcoming would never return.

Cannot thank the staff and owners enough for a top night from start to finish. Had a really large family party to celebrate 3 birthdays; pre ordered food which was all spot on, piping hot and tasted amazing. Large portions (lots of us couldn't finish our desserts and the gammon was huge) and such friendly service. The owner gave us a free complementary bottle of fizz which just topped off how great this establishment is. Would totally recommend. Thankyou owners and staff for making our birthdays fabulous.

Small nice restaurant near the Museum. Overall good experience. I ordered prawns fried with strawberry drink. It was nice.

Midweek visit for an evening meal. Staff were very friendly, great choice on menu and food was superb! Huge portions. Will definitely return

Delicious roast dinner ! Brilliant service. Booked ahead so not to be disappointed 😊

Went here for a post walk roast on a Sunday. Really nice pub in the centre of Caerleon and looks like a lovely beer garden for the summer. Roast was good value for money, could have done with a little more veg though. Pudding was yum. Would definitely recommend for value and will be back!

Nice pub, friendly staff, good beer and atmosphere, good prices. It is not an Inn - no rooms to let

Staff are lovely and the food very nice 👌

Highly recommend this place, The meals here are really lovely, good prices, good selection service good.

Fantastic service & great food! Staff were really friendly & welcoming after we’d driven for ages in the terrible weather! Good selection of drinks on tap, whilst my fiancé & I both had the gammon; very tasty with wonderful chips! Owner congratulated us on our engagement & we had a free dessert on the house! Will defiantly return to this well run pub!

Fantastic evening meal for 4 people, we all thoroughly enjoyed starters and mains. The staff were very friendly and professional. We will certainly return.

Lovely venue in the heart of Caerleon. Attended a private function - staff were very attentive and friendly. The food served was fresh and hot. The pub arranged for the DJ too !! Top tunes played all night

Lovely wee afternoon there with friends. Food was gorgeous & the service was really good. Definitely would return & recommend x

Beautiful meal fabulous garden and lovely staff what more could you ask for.

Nice friendly staff good beer garden what's not to like

Popped in for an early supper the food was freshly cooked and delicious, the staff were also lovely We shall be returning soon

For unconnected reasons had Dinner one night and lunch the next day at the Goldcroft. Both meals were superb. There is a Lunch time menu which was great value for money. Service was good Staff very friendly. Can recommend this pub .

Food was stunning. Service terrible. Billed for 10 puddings when there was only 3 of us. Wont go back

Fantastic pub. Great staff and excellent food.

Had a lovely meal Wednesday 8th first class service

Nice pub with a sunny beer garden. Had a good selection of drinks and bar snacks. Didn't have food but it looked nice, and people seemed content. Also quite cozy inside, I expect it would be nice in the winter if they have a log fire, but being hot I wasn't looking for one. If I remember I'll go back to find out and update my review 😃

Birthday meal for My daughter Best fish I have had in a long time 10 / 10 to the chef. Amazing friendly staff too. Would definitely recommend a visit.

A group of 8 girls booked for lunch and for some drinks afterwards. Really friendly staff and the food was lovely. Reasonable price for food too! everyone was happy with their meals!

Stopped off for lunch. Staff very friendly and attentive and the food was hot and tasty

Excellent food and service. Really good atmosphere.

Felt like they had forgotten about out table,,,,😔

Best jumbo cod and chips on the planet - fact

OMG. Best roast dinner ever. The staff are great and friendly and the food was amazing. The meat was cooked to perfection and the gravy was 100%.

Just had Sunday dinner. Lovely setting, staff really friendly and food very nice. Lots of different veg, yorkshire pudding with all meats not just Beef. Plenty of extras like crackling on the pork. Plenty of gravy. Thinking of booking Christmas dinner here, so nice.

Booked an evening meal here which did not disappoint. Tasty starter and both mains were very good. Service was also great, especially as it was table service only.

Myself and my family visited the goldcroft this week having heard raving reviews about their food. My daughter booked the table prior. When we arrived we were greeted by a pleasant young lady who took our drinks order. The place was very quiet due to...

Fabulous Sunday lunch at the Goldcroft Inn, very well cooked, had the lamb with mint sauce and the usual suspects, veg etc. The food was delicious, cooked perfectly and very well presented. The staff were very helpful and friendly, from the moment we walked in they were very welcoming with super service, the food was served really quick and the staff always passed by to ask if we needed anything. The crumble pudding with custard was amazing, very tasty and warm. Also the coffee / decaf was really nice, overall we had a fantastic experience.

Wonderful food, friendly staff and atmosphere. First time I have been there cant Recommend it enough.

Called in for a pint with friends. Staff friendly. Good atmosphere.

Was getting frustrated with the bar staff as they were unfriendly with no system or cared about who was waiting. But when we were sat at the table the experience greatly improved. Friendly waitress, great menu and delicious food. A tad expensive but very well...

Evening visit, it as not very busy so service was good with helpful staff although some drinks we expected not stocked. Food was excellent and served promptly and good value.

Great atmosphere to eat dinner, had just the right amount of tables and staff for these COVID times. The quality of the food was very good. A few of us had fish and chips, batter was good quality and the chips were described as ‘real’....

We visited twice this week. Four hungry golfers. The food and service was excellent. The range of food on offer was very good and the landlady was very welcoming.

Had a lovely meal, staff very welcoming and efficient and had a lovely meal .Was Saturday evening and busy but the layout made for a relaxing atmosphere to eat as well as drink.

As I am leaving for 3.5 months I took 8 of the family for a good bye meal, last time I came here the food was amazing! This time the fish chips was basically batter and hardly any fish inside and for £15 that is...

Super food and service. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely go again. Have to try out their Sunday lunch!

Excellent meal! My niece and I both had a burger and my husband had fish a chips. The portions were generous and the chips were lovely and crispy. Unfortunately we were too full for a dessert!

Came here twice for evening meal whilst staying at a relatives up the road. Absolutely fantastic food on both nights. Portions are generous, could only manage starter and mains on both visits! The rib beef was enormous but so tasty and the duck was cooked...

Lovely surroundings and good food, very friendly and prompt service.

Nice pub, good food, good staff. Can't really go wrong here for a quick bite or a long evening meal. Very reasonable prices.

Absolutely fantastic lunch on Sunday, very friendly and helpful staff, totally recommend it

My 4 friends and I had a lunch here yesterday. The food was delicious, and plenty of it. The staff (especially Jack) went over and above their remit to make sure we were comfortable and made the right choices of food with their suggestions. They...

Fab pub, amazing varied menu ( my fav had sold out) covid safe.

Not the best experience ,my wife sent her meal back as it was tasteless and not what she had ordered ,they took my wifes meal off the bill but still charged her for the pepper sauce which went back with the meal ,overall very disappointing wont be returning anytime soon

Fish & Chips … wow. The fish was perfect, curry sauce brilliant for dunking chips, mushy peas perfect. Highly recommend 😊

Had a fantastic lunch here with my mum today. Social distancing and Covid regs were enforced, friendly staff, an enticing menu and delicious food! Looking forward to visiting again.

Love this pub but the drunk landlady sitting on our table giving us a Spanish inquisition ruined our family celebration and made us all feel very uncomfortable. She just wouldn't leave! Don't let her put you off though as the waiting staff are amazing.

Very good food. Friendly staff. Nice afternoon out despite the rain.

I came here last night for a meal and drinks with friends for a birthday celebration. The food was delicious, worth every penny and the staff couldn't do enough, even going the extra mile ordering us a taxi home when we asked. We all had...
