Popped into the Dodger for a meal and drink while staying 1 night in Newport. I have to say the food was excellent perfectly cooked beer prices very reasonable staff were all so friendly. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Also Very refreshing to go in a pub with all the old traditions present snacks on the wall to purchase. Lovely top marks have recommended to anyone staying in the Chepstow Road area of Newport

Worst mixed grill ever" steak like leather undercooked salty gammon and cheapest sausages possible, and it didn't smell right" waitress was very pleasant but no offer of refund because I couldn't eat it" always a bad sign when the steak is battered with a tenderizer.

Just caught the kitchen open and wish now it was closed, absolutely the worst mixed grill I've ever tasted, the waitress was very pleasant and apologetic but no offer of refund. The steak had been battered with a tenderizer and was still like leather and overcooked the gammon was undercooked and salty the sausages were the cheapest ones made of cereal, 2 tiny mushrooms and a thinly spread out bit of salad to try and fill the plate. The only positive thing I can say is it had an egg" I've now jumped on a bus to eat in a pub I know can cook and don't buy the cheapest of ingredients.

Stayed in a hotel and passed the dodger on my first day. It looked rough on the outside & didn’t like the look of it . The second day we thought we would give the dodger a go ‘ I can’t say enough good things about this pub , it’s very well managed & really welcoming,. The dodger is spacious inside and has appropriate measures inside for social distancing . I can only say good things about this public house. I was wrong to judge without entering the premises .... A great book can also have a tatty cover , this pub is very good. Thank you !
