The Farmers Arms in Newport

My daughters 31st Birthday meal with family. Fantastic food and outstanding welcoming service. Serving staff couldn’t do enough for us. Food was absolutely amazing. Pork belly, curry, lamb all superb. Highly recommend. Phoned to book, phone answered quickly and professionally. Very impressed.

I was lucky enough to attend one of my best friends wedding here. The venue was just amazing....the marquee was set up beautifully, food was lovely, service exceptional....well done to your team as such fantastic hosts, you did a wonderful job....bloody spectacular x

Dreadful. Dirty glasses, cutlery just thrown down on table. Staff don't appear to know what they are doing. Beef was like cardboard. Never again.

Best Sunday lunch i have ever had Plenty of food i had lamb it was amazing Amazing service Amazing staff Definitely recommend this restaurant We also went on a Wednesday 2 cooked dinner for £20 amazing value for money

Had the 3 meat roast (beef brisket, turkey and belly pork) and it was superb. Genuinely 1 of the best Sunday lunches I've ever had. A must visit.

We were taken here for Sunday lunch whilst visiting family. A good Sunday lunch, well cooked and reasonably priced,large portions. Would recommend.

Visited for the first time for a Sunday lunch with some visiting friends Food was delicious, great portion and piping hot with lashings of extra gravy what else could you need from a Roast? We will be back for a midweek roast very soon

Lovely place hidden out of the way , perfect little stop off when visiting the sea wall , Lovely food and lovely staff , plenty of entertainment for the kids well worth a visit

What a fantastic place! Hidden away so never heard of it before, we only attended due to word of mouth from friends. lots of outdoor things to keep kids happy and entertained, delicious food and lovely staff, we can’t wait to return!

Lovely choice of savoury and sweet items in afternoon tea. Good value for money and country setting. Will visit again. Thank you.

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday dinner! So tasty. The food here is lovely. The gardens are perfect for families. We were a well looked after party of 26. Highly recommend

This was a very welcoming and friendly place to spend an evening in an idyllic location. We came for an engagement party and it was a great place for that. The buffet was made in house and it was the best buffet food I have ever experienced. I just know I will never find a scotch egg at that standard again for a very long time.

Would not recommend coming here. We came here for a family dinner and looked at the menu prior to our visit and none of the decent options are actually in their menu as they have recently changed - not reflected on their website menu. They seem to have removed most of the decent food. The food we did wasn’t the best, definitely with the prices they charged. Paid £13 for chip shop chips- though that is an insult to chip shop chips. Again, would really recommend to not come here, save yourself some money and go elsewhere.

Great service and food was spectacular. The service was spot on the food was boiling hot and so tasty. Would highly recommend. Sunday lunch is best around for sure.

Amazing family roast dinner. It was our first time at the pub and we struggled to park- I can see why! The roast pork was the best we’ve had in years, melted in your mouth. Great value for money. It was a very busy fast paced pub but we will definitely be back. Lovely caring staff who take the time out to talk to you during a busy shift. Very quick service too, but the meal tasted fresh. Unfortunately didn’t have room for dessert! But we will definitely be giving them a go next time after watching another table have some. Extra bonus is they give you additional gravy without even asking- huge win in my book! Thank you to all the staff for a lovely visit:)

As always the food here is first class the staff are amazing. There is a homely feel to this place and kids always welcome i had a steak which cut through like butter. the mixed grill looked and tasted amazing ( my sons choice) other guests had the gammon and egg and the hunters chicken which they said was the best. very reasonably priced well done all we will be back

DO NOT BOOK a friend booked afternoon tea for a baby shower for 17 people, maybe we were expecting too much, no tablecloths nothing. booked for 1;30 food came out 2:45, expected sandwiches cakes and scones on stands, instead had 3 x plates sandwiches, 1 x sausage rolls,1 x scotch egg and a bowl of chips , scones, chocolate tray bake cake no doubt from tesco and sponge cake the same. All put on one table to help yourself, in fact a perfectic buffet, since when does afternoon tea come like this. Totally Disgusted £16 per person. Even had to ask for tea and coffee, the manager wouldn't come to see us until the end when we were offered a drink. They should of refunded as it was not what was clearly booked with text confirming booking. Would give 0 rating if possible.

Have to say we were highly disappointed. After seeing good reviews and the place being recommended to us, I saw the homemade pie served in a dish with the puff pastry lid and mixed seasonal veg we just had to try. Well, I was served only green beans as the seasonal veg, a small portion of chips in some sort of metal pen pot & what looked to be a Peter’s pie. Don’t get me wrong, I’m partial to a peters pie but not for more than £1. I asked if the pie was homemade or bought in & the waitress said it was homemade. I guess the chef thinks like my husband, he says he’s cooked a lasagna after he’s warmed it in the oven. The starters were umm “ok”, similar to man of Gwent so we did expect a little more for a non-chain restaurant. The deserts we actually got refunded for so we won’t comment on those. There’s a reason it’s a set 2 course menu that’s all I will say. We always love to try new places especially pub type food as it’s usually homemade with a nice atmosphere but unfortunately it was our first and last visit. Ordering food which is slowly brought to the table (you have to ask for salt, pepper, vinegar & sauces they didn’t offer these) I was surprised to find we still had to go to the bar to order drinks. I didn’t think it was safe or appropriate for all those children to be in and out the kitchen either. Perhaps something to review. After dining at places like the rock & fountain, the gate etc our expectations were high as your set menu is the same price. Staff were friendly, just the standard of the food in comparison to other places of the same price was not there for us 6 food critics.

Nice location, lovely beer and atmosphere but give the food a miss. The chicken is like it’s been frozen for 10 years and put in a deep fryer, it’s tasteless, grey, and over fried. Any crumb is fatty gristle. Left most of it and was...

Went here for lunch, pre booked the table but on the same day. During the present circumstances it’s good to report it very clean inside and set up according to guidelines. Very warm welcome on arrival and details taken as per the guidelines. It was a new menu £13 for two course lunch and far exceeded expectations. We were two diners had the ham hock terrine and mackerel tart to start both were stunning, then the pairs and leek sausages with braised red cabbage and mash and onion gravy also selected the chicken pie from the normal menu and paid the extra. All home made food we both raved about the vegetables. I will definitely go back and try the evening menu.

Just been to the farmers arms for afternoon tea for a surprise for my mum. Rang and booked as you have to these days with covid. We had a few special requirements which were all met with no problem at all. On arrival we were shown to our table and they came to check that we were ok and ready for our food. Which was then brought out first the tea quite a selection (they even had fruit tea) then the plates were coming out with savoury bits. Best scotch egg my mum had tasted in a long time. Then it was sandwiches, scones with cream and jam. Last but not least a selection of cakes. You were left alone if you needed extra water or tea bags they replenished it no problem at all. Good valve for money and yes would go again

We had lunch here last Thursday for the first time in 14 months, having been regular customers over the last 5 years. It was good to see that there is new furniture and more comfortable seating and the restaurant looked generally very smart. There is good table separation but it was very quiet anyway, so we had no concerns about social distancing. Sensibly there is a one way system for customers and the sanitisation measures we observed seemed thorough.The friendly manager greeted us warmly and took our order. We chose from the 2 course menu @ £12 which offers ample options. All four dishes we tried were very nice and the portions were satisfactory. Of particular note was the steak and ale pie which had lovely pastry and was packed with good quality, tender meat. There was only one vegetable, Savoy cabbage, not my favourite, so a second vegetable would have been appreciated. We didn’t feel any need for a dessert, even though one of the options, sticky toffee pudding, is my favourite! The wine we chose, Argentinean Malbec, was very nice but we thought a bit expensive @ £18. Disappointingly we were unable to have coffee as apparently the brewery hadn’t yet supplied the machine.All the staff were very pleasant and professional and the pace of the meal was just right. It’s good to see the pub open again and apparently doing well under its new management. We will definitely be returning.

I have always had such great food at The Farmers Arms and knowing that there were new owners I revisited with high hopes.....I was not disappointed! The food was amazing, so well cooked and very tasty. I came away feeling absolutely stuffed! The service was very prompt and the staff were friendly. The restaurant manager greeted us with a smile and we chatted with the new owners who were so down to earth and very keen to make sure our visit was enjoyable. In fact, they were talking to many tables. Nothing was too much trouble. I had absolutely no concerns about social distancing, the pub is plenty big enough to accommodate groups and the staff have done this very well. The children’s play area is so handy too. Such a friendly pub for all and I will definitely be returning.

We visited the Farmer’s Arms for Sunday lunch after hearing good things about the food. When we arrived the place was very full with no distancing. The chairs at the table next to us were so close that the waitress could not deliver food to the end of our table and had an accident with spilling gravy. The service was very slow and we left without having puddings and coffee. My starter of salmon fish cake was very nice but the mushroom soup was VERY thick. The meat was nice but I would have preferred it in slices rather than an inch thick piece! There was a good selection of vegetables and they were well cooked.

Just had a lovely meal in the Farmers Arms. New owner who was interested in what we, the customer, had to say. The food was delicious. The only complaint was the starters were generous portions and I didn't think I would do the main course justice, but I did. Couldn't leave it as it was so nice. Will definitely be going there again and would recommend it for everyone. Smashing kids area out the back and socially distanced tables.

So so excited to be back at the farmers arms . There are all new staff and new landlords . We went for Sunday lunch. The meat was cooked to perfection and lots of it . We all had beef and were very happy, although the stuffing was rock hard and we were nervous cutting through it just in case it flew across the pub and knocked someone out . But other than that it was delicious The pannacotta was Devine with the raspberries but the warm donuts were a little hard and a bit greasy tasting . All in all it was a lovely meal , the service was perfect and will be going again

Today we had an afternoon tea delivered and it was simply stunning. Thank you so much for doing this for the public while we’re all isolated. Fab service and even better food.

Wow..Afternoon tea here is amazing one of the best we have had.1st you get bowl of crisps and 3 dips with sandwiches gals pie a chicken Piece sausage roll.Followed with scones cream and jamAnd a good selection of bite size cakes with mini Victoria sponges and mini triffles.Stuffed to burst!Washed down with lashings of teaFriendly staffNice ambiance music playing in the background.Set in a pub restaurant. Not posh like some places try to be.But this afternoon tea is worth trying and very good value for money at £15 per head.

Warm welcome and great food. It so happened that we visited on a Friday so had the amazing choice of several dishes all for £5 each.. Whilst not huge helpings they were just the right size for our elderly appetites and beautifully cooked. The food she and chips were excellent, light very crispy batter surrounding the fish could not have been better. Will definitely be going again soon.

I booked to attend an event that was advertised on Facebook which included a meal in the price. The Facebook advertisement specified the different meals that were included in this promotion. We knew already what we were going to order so were looking forward to attending. However, after waiting a long time for the area to be set up (another event from earlier that day had overrun) we were finally seated and my friends and I were given a rough hand written menu on scrap paper which was different to the advertised menu on Facebook as it had smaller meals, less choice than the one advertised and some meals were missing altogether. An example of this was the lasagna on the original menu included chips but the hand written menu only offered a side salad. One friend had planned to have the festive burger but the new menu did not include it. We checked this with our waitress who asked me to show her the menu specified on the Facebook advertisement (which I was able to do) and she almost seemed a little annoyed at us for highlighting it. We requested that they honour the original menu so she had to leave and ask someone if it was ok, she returned after 5 minutes to confirm it except for the festive burger. When the food came out, it was very small portions for all of us and I counted 5 chips on my plate and 2 of us had lukewarm/cold Lasagna. Already a little underwhelmed by the experience we then found that due to the delay in setting up the tables and serving the food, the act that we paid to see began late but still finished at her scheduled time, meaning that we all lost out on time with her. During her performance, it was difficult to hear her over the sound of the customers and staff from the bar and the other room.It was also extremely cold and I overheard a few people complaining about the temperate inside the building but this was not helped by non ticket holding customers walking in and out of the door. Overall a disappointing experience.

Fabulous food and service. The bar staff are very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Really good value for money, my only constructive criticism would be the crumble advertised on the dessert menu, doesn't have a traditional breadcrumb topping. It comes with a porridge and pine nut topping, this needs to be clearly advertised for diners with nut allergies to be aware. Staff were fabulous and swapped it for me but I like many others were unaware of the nuts until I took a mouthful. Would definitely visit again.

Poor service long wait for food order when it came potatoes were rock hard gravey had so much salt in it you could not taste the dinner no J20 at all at the bar no pinot grigio what so ever. Staff did not know how much the meal was. Would not go here ever again

Four of us went for a early evening meal, we went for the fixed price menu, 2 courses £14. The food was lovely, well presented and generous portions would recommend.

service ok had to ask for more tea/coffee and milk .Waitress polite but didn't see much of her hence we had to seek her out for more tea etc.They could do with more staff.

Table booked for 18 people mix of adults and older children. Order took nearly an hour to arrive, wouldn't mind but the few other tables had been served. Children meals served first at same time people were having starters. Food arrived very slowly and starter plates still on the table. Onion rings missing off most meals which then had to be cooked so came half way through the meal. Two people had no food as they didn't have what had been ordered but were told after everyone else had their food. Steak burgers were raw. Waited at least half an hour to then have to ask for children's ice cream and drinks (which are part of the menu offer). All glasses were stinking dirty, cans of Coke are all covered in something, not sure what, after three attempts got a clean can. Forks were dirty. Doesn't look like they can wash things or the dishwasher hasn't been cleaned and serviced. Avoid at all costs.

Six hungry walkers were very impressed with the food, drinks and most importantly the service at the Farmers Arms.I've run past the place many times running in, and training for the Newport Marathon. Wish I'd dropped in for a pint and a spot of lunch instead.The ploughman's is excellent, but for a truly epic experience, go for the savoury afternoon tea, a pork feast with added burgers and excellent chips.The prices are an absolute steal...

We booked for 1pm after a bracing walk. The pub was warm and comfortable and we chatted for an hour before the main course came. The food was lovely and fresh. My brie starter with onion jam and green leaf salad was a delight. Prettily served and a nice portion size. Some people had roasts, but I chose the hollandaise salmon main course, perfectly cooked, but I removed the skin that I would have liked to eat if it had been crisp. The hollandaise sauce was lovely like home-made with a smooth texture and slight lemony tang. Lots of accompanying mixed vegetable dishes that were just right, fresh and perky with a little bite, and plenty of extra gravy or sauce. The trifle was nice: jelly, custard, and cream, other people's berry crumble looked lovely, rather a large portion. The service was a bit slow, but when we asked, we were served quickly. It was a warm homely atmosphere, some tables had families with children. I would go there again, and recommend the food.

A warm welcome. half hour wait for food. Couldn't fault the confit of lamb or steak pie and chips, and waitresses even sang happy birthday to my friend and put a candle in his cheescake !

This pub is under relatively new ownership and you can definitely tell from the decline in the assortment of sandwiches and cakes on offer.

Had a lovely birthday meal here for my mum last month after a scenic stroll around the area. The staff were lovely and the food was exactly what we needed after the long walk. Would highly recommend!

We took my elderly Mother today for afternoon tea. The staff are delightful the sandwiches were plentiful and a bonus of a bowl of crisps. The crowning glory was delicious selection of home made cakes. Fully recommend to all

Called in for a quick refreshment after a countryside walk. Reasonably priced soft drink, but my glass had lipstick on it!

Took a large family group for Sunday lunch. They aren't available on the phone a lot during the week if you need to contact them so just be aware.

Sunday lunch booking for 4 people made months ago on a recommendation. Restaurant had lots of empty tables so definitely not busy. Staff nice, polite and accommodating, nice decor. The first thing I noticed was their black clothing was marked and dirty. We waited 85 minutes for the first course which was ok. The main course took another 30 to 40 minutes to arrive. I was apalled to see they had served veg for 4 people in ONE dish...6 vegetables all mixed in together! Tough if you didn't like any of them! Meat was fine, roast potatoes were anaemic and hard...probably frozen. We had taken a birthday cake in a box. They were kind enough to light candles and present it to birthday lady. When I asked for the box to take the cake home, they brought it - covered in salad dressing and smelling of stale smoke. It was obvious they had retrieved it from the bin. Instead of being honest and offering to wrap cake in cling film or foil, they said and did nothing. Will not be returning.

Fabulous afternoon tea. I took my Mum for her birthday and it was the best afternoon tea that I have have ever had. Lots of sandwiches, hot savouries, homemade scones and great cakes. I couldn’t fault it. We will definitely return very soon.

This was our first visit to this pub and it was very welcoming and cosy, we had afternoon tea and the amount and quality of the food we had was amazing and we took the rest back home for later on, staff were friendly and the price was only £12.00, would definitely go back again.

This was our 3rd visit to this lovely atmospheric pub for a 'themed" afternoon tea. One of our party was a vegetarian and she had a great selection of sandwiches. Our selection was amazing; chees & pickle, turkey & stuffing, egg mayo, coronation chicken and ham. Then hot savouries; mini yorkshires with roadt beef (cheese & potatoe for veggie), pigs in blankets, cheese & onion quiche. Then.... 8 desserts! Plentiful tea and coffee.

We were a party of 11, 8 adults & 3 children. We had the 3 courses & the children chose from the kids menu. Food was excellent, piping hot & extra gravy, plenty of veg served in a separate dish. Various deserts to choose from & very generous portions. Everyone in the party complimented the food, staff were friendly & service was excellent.

Visited the Farmers Arms for a Christmas family get together 11 of us altogether, it was gorgeous!! Tasty home cooked food all brought out together, extra roasties, and gravy, variety loads of veg.

Great service, great price excellent food can't fault it we booked for 12.30, was fab. Am hoping to book afternoon tea there soon.

After seeing so many people rave about this particular place for afternoon tea I specifically asked to go there for my 40th birthday treat with my husband - We booked for a Saturday afternoon, and when we got there we were pointed to the table, which had cups, saucers and a couple of napkins. We had already been asked when arriving if we wanted tea or coffee, and it was promptly brought to the table, but we had to take the teaspoons form the table behind us to have something to stir our tea with. When our sandwiches arrived, the platter and a bowl of crisps were plonked down and the waitress walked off, I though, to get some plates, but no, it became apparent after a few minutes that that was not the case, so I had to go and ask for plates, which were duly brought. After the sandwiches were done, the cake stand appeared with cakes, and the waitress again disappeared, I was hopeful for clean plates as some cutlery, but alas again, disappointment. I had to again to go the bar and ask for cutlery, and we just used the same plates as we had used for our sandwiches. When we went to go we were asked if we wanted to take the remaining cakes with us, which we said would be lovely, and we were handed a roll of tinfoil! What should have been a lovely treat for me just ended up being an experience in bad service and made the whole experience mediocre at best. I wouldn't rush to go back, and I wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for a lovely experience with friends or family.

Enjoyed a 3 course meal here. Had the creamy mushrooms on toast for starter, very nice only draw back was the mushrooms had gone cold(but I didn’t mention this to staff) and it took quiet a while to come. Had a beef dinner for main which was very nice and came with loads of vegetables! Then had trifle for dessert which was nice enough but a bit plain. Overall it was very nice food and for a really reasonable price (think it was around £13 for 3 courses). All staff were helpful and polite, would visit again.

Very well presented pub and convenient for Spytty and the Wetlands. Friendly staff. Fish, chips and peas very good - especially the chips which were excellent and crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. Would have preferred tartare sauce not to come in a packet as a little pot of homemade would have moved very good to excellent. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

The place is a very quiet place. But very lovely place to go for a quiet drink. But the cream teas look amazing mmmm

A group of us booked in for afternoon tea. The waitresses were very helpful. The food was great, many types of finger sandwiches and lots of lovely cakes with tea / coffee. Very good value for money.

Have used this pub/restaurant on several occasions, but as we had heard it has changed management thought we would try it again for Sunday lunch.

Well what a hidden gem...so close to Newport but feel like you could be miles away in the country.

Farmers arms is a fantastic place, we went for my daughters 10th Birthday, 5 children 2 adults. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and welcoming, couldn’t do enough for us. Food was plentiful and tasty, kids had set meal which was great and we had 2 courses for £12 excellent value! They brought her cake (which I was allowed to provide) out singing happy birthday to her!

The Farmers Arms offers, in my opinion, the best 'Afternoon Tea' for miles around!

Friendly, welcoming staff. Beautiful views, with seating inside and outside. There was a wide choice of sandwiches and cakes - all were gorgeous and freshly made! Will definitely be coming back soon!

Had an amazing afternoon tea the occassion was a retirement and the service was fab, lovely fresh sandwiches and so much choice, the different assortment of cakes were amazing and everything tasted so lovely and fresh, the girls were lovely and nothing was too much trouble, thank you rob for such a lovely day:) will def be coming back xxx

Booked for a lunch . We had the two courses , which were beautiful. Lovely staff and beautiful food . Perfect Sunday

It had been a few months since my last visit, and booked to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary. We arrived to a lovely friendly welcome and once seated realised it was steak night. Great choice where you could choose from meat choices, choice of potatoes, two sides and a dip. Lots on offer and cooked beautifully. Portion sizes are generous and no processed rubbish - home cooked loveliness.

We visited the Farmers Arms last night. They have a menu which gives you two courses for £12!! You can pay a supplement of only £2 for a Rib-Eye steak. The starters were fresh and tasty. We all chose the steak - i can be hard to please where steak is concerned - but I couldn’t fault it! The peppercorn sauce and chips were very good!

Although a great location and building, really disappointed with this visit. I had heard great reviews about this establishment but was quite surprised how quiet it was considering the reputation it was renown for and it being the Friday before Christmas. Personally my meal was satisfactory but my friends were not up to the standard. The staff on the other hand we very pleasant and friendly and did their upmost to rectify the issues that we had immediately.

Came here with my daughter as she had heard good reviews about the afternoon teas and we were not disappointed! We were greeted by cheerful staff and seated quickly and offered tea, coffee or a drink. This came quickly, along with a lovely selection of mixed sandwiches and a bowl of crisps. After a little while, we were offered a refill on our tea and an impressive 3 tier cake stand was delivered, full of beautiful home made cakes! The scones were served warm with plenty of jam and clotted cream and were lovely......along with victoria sandwich, profiteroles, mini cream puffs, chocolate brownies, oreo cheesecake, madiera cake and little individual trifles....all of which were delicious! We had so much food we couldnt finish it all. I would definitely recommend coming here. Thankyou for a delicious afternoon.

Chose the Farmers to meet up with friends for Xmas. Must say it was very disappointing. Walking in to the pub there was zero atmosphere. I asked for some music to be played. The food arrived, starters were nice but the main course...roast turkey was awful. Very dry meat, conjealed gravy and all at a tepid temperature. Would have sent it back but nobody came over to ask how our food was. The choice of desserts was poor, not Christmassy at all. We complained and had two meals taken off the bill and the chef sent out a bottle of wine. Which was appreciated but cant help but think that on a night where the restaurant was very quiet these mistakes should not happen in the first instance. From 9pm onwards we were the only ones left in the place and felt like we were in the way of closing time. A disappointing evening.

After ringing up last minute to book a table for our spontaneous Date night, we were accommodated immediately. They have a widely varied set menu 2 courses for £12 or 3 courses for £15, me and my partner both had the chickem strips which were amazing! And both had the steak burger and but also added an egg to mine we couldn't fault it one bit. The food was to a high expectation which it gladly met. Will deffinatly be back to try your sunday lunch!

We were shown into the loveky private type room Which suited all of our little gathering the menu was very very good something for all and must say order taken and served excellently a great time had by all will certainly visit Again

Amazing food, piping hot, portions were big, excellent value for money, lovely staff...... couldnt do enough to accommodate us. This place is very clean, i love the decor, very warm and welcoming. Best steak ive ever eaten!!!

I normally love this pub but unfortunately today I was very disappointed. We arrived for our 2:00pm booking and ordered our drinks and meals. The food & staff were fine. When we were asked if we wanted dessert we were told that we could only have the table for 1.5 hours and we had already been sat there for 1 hour 10mins! Also they didn't have some of the desserts left so we had to choose something else after ordering. We weren't told when booking the table or when we arrived that we had a limited time. It's a bit ridiculous only allowing 1.5 hours for a 3 course meal for 5 people. One of our party had their dessert taken away before they had finished! People were waiting for our table which made us feel uncomfortable. They had obviously overbooked massively which was a real shame.

I thought this was just wonderful! Great value for money, nine sandwiches and nine cakes, nobody could finish it! Very tasty, all fresh and homemade. At £25 for two, I would highly recommend

My wife, son, brother and myself called in here on the off chance after going for a long sea walk and were all very impressed. The friendly bar staff were very accommodating, even letting us make a bed on one of the huge armchairs for my son who was fast asleep! We all had 3 courses - beef for main all round which was delicious, served with plenty of vegetables and a massive gravy boat. At £12.95 for 3 courses it offers fabulous value for money - only I managed to finish my dessert! We're already planning our return but this time with the rest of the family.

Ate here last night the service and food were excellent. I could not fault anything with either. I would recommend without hesitation.

A little treat .. afternoon tea with family . We added a bottle of prosecco and enjoyed a good selection of finger sandwiches and lots of cakes . Good tea and coffee and great service . Altogether a lovely afternoon .

Very basic interior decor nothing fancy. Very friendly staff, good service. Food was very good but took what seemed like a long time to arrive, even though the pub was quite empty when we were there. Saying that we all enjoyed the meal & reasonably priced.

Walked in and the staff were quick to accommodate us even on a busy friday evening. The place is friendly and welcoming. They offer gorgeous food with very reasonable prices with 2 different menus one offering 2 courses for 12 or 2 courses for 16. The portions are satisfying. Was a very good recommendation from a friend and il be sure to pass on the good reviews and be back again soon for another delicious meal.

Visited as a couple today for afternoon tea. Excellent selection of sandwiches and cakes that were more than adequate for two people. Had to take some cakes home as we couldn't finish them at the time. Nice atmosphere with a combination of families and couples dining or taking afternoon tea. The only reason that we didn't give a higher rating, was due to the fact that amazingly only full fat or soya milk is offered in the tea or coffee. This unfortunately marred an otherwise positive visit as we were looking froward to enjoying a cuppa with the food. Apart from offering semi-skimmed milk ( which I believe is now more widely used than full fat) , some minor suggestions to improve the overall visual and taste experience for customers could be to serve tea in china cups and to use paper doilies on each layer of the cake stand and on sandwich tray. I would also suggest offering plain crisps with the sandwiches as smoky bacon isn't to everyone's taste.

Came here with friends and was seated down immediately and staff were attentive. There was 5 of us and between us all, there was more than enough to go around. Sandwiches were yummy and cakes were delicious. Couldn't eat it all so took some food home with me. Was very relaxed and enjoyed my time there and of course the food. Would like to go back to try main menu.

11 of us had Afternoon Tea here on Saturday. There was an enormous amount of food and several varieties of sandwich fillings on different types of bread. The cake stands were amazing, and the scones were still warm. Everything was homemade. We had several pots of tea and coffee. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. At £12 per head this was exceptional value for money compared to other places (and we've tried most other venues in Newport/Cardiff). If there was any improvement I could suggest it would be to perhaps replace some of the sandwiches with savoury pastries. But I'd still go here from now on anyway! Amazing!
