The Garden Kitchen in Newport

The menu is varied and suits most people. The staff are very friendly and helpful, serving the dishes hot from the kitchen.

Small garden centre with a beautiful cafe. Food is amazing

Pleasant place to have a coffee and some food. Lovely selection at the delicatessen.

Great food selection opted for the hash with poached egg and chorizo, nicely presented. Was very busy with a queue for tables

Lovely breakfast, sourdough was so fresh

Kitchen closes early on a Friday. Turned up 45mins prior to it stating it closes.

Nice place for a coffee and breakfast, unique shop attached with some funky bits and lovely staff. Food is of a high standard but you pay for the standard. An expensive breakfast and coffee but an enjoyable experience. Parking is terrible and chaos on road outside biggest downside.

Nice restaurant in garden centre, easy parking and electric charging available

Great food in a lovely atmosphere. The menu is excellent, both for breakfast and lunch. There’s a good selection of sweet and savouries to take away, plus plants, books and other items from the Pugh’s lines.

We had breakfast here and the experience was disappointing. The Full English was extremely dry. From the toast through the beans to the sausage. All dry. The toast was really tough and hard to chew and arrived cold. I tried to soak it in the beans to soften it up a bit, but the beans had hardly any sauce. The best I can say is that the eggs arrived hot. For a breakfast at the steeper price end of £13, I expected better. My partner had the American Pancakes with bacon and said it was really good and pancakes were fluffy, hence the 3 stars.

The place looks good but everything else is alright.

The shop/cafe is really cute and different from your typical cafe. I had pancakes and bacon, which I found to be lovely. However, other parties in our group had the English breakfast, which they said the toast was quite tough, and the food was cold when it was served. Just a below average breakfast that could be improved upon, which would then leave a favourable lasting impression.

Recently we went to Pugh's and i must say the staff are amazing and the food was lovely .There was a party of 8 people and even though they were very busy everything was perfect

A pleasant place to meet up with friends and family offering some nice food choices. Service was polite and friendly.

Food, staff and quality of goods always great in here. Worth a visit.

First time here and as the shop and plants looks beautiful this is where it stopped. Ordered the " veggie pattie" and disappointed when it came burnt bun, no sauce and the patty was in fact just two veggie sausages. Full English was nice.

Great local venue. Nice menu. Good service.

What a great venue and space, highly recommend their tasting events.

Service is fantastic and always so helpful, polite and friendly. Wonderful place to unwind and enjoy their gorgeous food. Plus their fresh and frozen food at their deli shop is amazing. They also have a lovely selection of gifts, card's & plants to choose from too. Great food, lovely venue, although, the bench seating is honestly the most claustrophobic, uncomfortable, awkward and extremely painful to sit in. There's simply not enough space between the bench seating & the tables here. It's the only thing that I can complain about here. I love their inspired menu options, with a great selection of dietary offerings for everyone.

We opted for the bacon sandwich. The bacon was thick and tasty but the bread was a little hard and maybe not as fresh as it should have been. A great place to meet up with friends & the shop has a lot of Welsh wholesome foods

Lovely place and quality service by the member of staff (Carly) - will be back!

Usually love this place but today service was slow and whilst we only wanted an afternoon coffee and cake. We were only able to choose from three cakes although there were 100s on the deli counter??? We couldn't eat them in the restaurant because of eat in VAT rules??? Pugh's you really need to sort this, we ended up just having coffee excuse the custard slices and blondies were taken away only!!

Average breakfast. Nothing exceptional to note for the price. Coffee passable. Staff friendly and quick to respond to queries. Music could be played at a lower volume.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and top service! Went for the Japanese taster evening and it was some of the best food I've tasted in a long time. Have also previously been for brunch; I would highly recommend The Kitchen at Pugh's ❤️

Really rather nice, a bit noisy for me though.

Been here a few times but today was the worst. Cold food, I spoke to assistant I who replaced with more cold food. They were really busy with people waiting to be seated but doesn't excuse the poor quality of food. Feeling like i won't return especially when paying £13 for breakfast. I mentioned it again when paying but assistant didn't appear to care.

Thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit. I had the stack of pancakes with bacon and maple syrup and it was delicious and a very generous portion Coffee is lovely as well and the pricing vs the quality of the food/drink is good I think they've stepped up their service since I started visiting. On the ball now, which makes a massive difference to the experience. Guy at front of house (missed name) is fab! Love the loyalty app as well, great addition Parking can be tricky with a busy shop next door so something to think about if you do drive, luckily for me, I can walk :)

Amazing place and incredible food. The staff is very friendly as well.

Nice food,lovely setting good lunch spot

I love this cafe. The menu has gluten free options. The food is really good and the service is outstanding!

TGK Smash Burger Possibly the best smash burger I have eaten, period !! The quality is up there with Honest Burger, and maybe edges just ahead on the Smash Burger Delivery !! Service and Atmosphere is simply first rate! This is definitely restaurant quality food, but just a café !! The Burger with Fries was £18 which is on the high side I must say…… however, I can’t give it any less than 5 stars because the burger was totally worth it !! Well done TGK

First and last time at this place. Rude staff member that was extremely unhelpful when I asked her for a slightly different sandwich to the one on the menu. Stated we don’t do swaps on the menu but then reluctantly did it. Clearly not looking to attract new customers with this arrogance. Will not be visiting again.

First time there and really impressed. The staff were attentive but not pushy. There was a large variety of vegetarian breakfast options that I was very impressed by, and the garden breakfast I chose was delicious. Lovely selection of gifts and items in the attached shop, with helpful staff there too. Will definitely be back.

Lovely store. A bit pricey on some items, but really good quality.

Gorgeous food, excellent staff and a wonderful shop for browsing

Absolutely gorgeous place. Amazing atmosphere and fabulous food. Good selection of fresh food and deserts to purchase as well as frozen and pre packed food from well known brands. Gorgeous Katie Loxton bags and purses and lovely spa products,jewellery and clothing. I've recommended it to a few people as its different from the run of the mill coffee shops.

Love the decor and atmosphere. Friendly efficient service & food is excellent quality but quite pricey so only visit occasionally. Really wish breakfast was available all day!

Fabulous place food and service amazing. First time here and wint bd the last.

Took my mums half eaten cake away whilst she was drinking and girl was moaning at my mum when she was paying as mum isn't used to contactless

Absolutely delicious food. Although we felt a little rushed to order before 11.30 and the menu went to lunch menu.

Really lovely find in Rogerstone. Beautiful decoration, great atmosphere and lovely food and coffee. Carpark was quite full as it's also used for the Co-op next door, but there are disabled bays and electric charging.

Amazing food. HUGE portions& coffee/cake to die for. Beautiful decor and atmosphere.

It's always incredibly busy here... And for good reason. Great menu, delicious food and good coffee! A local gem

Great food but extremely poor service to the point where we were ignored by staff

Lovely place, would highly recommend 👌 😀

Very good food and some healthy choices. On the expensive side but a treat worth paying for. Would suggest more beer choices than just Tiny Rebel 😂

Love this local cafe / shop. The food is always really good and fresh and a great place to go for RT breakfast

Food was excellent 👌 Service was good 👍 Price was OK would definitely go back

Arrived and had a rude and unfriendly greeting by front of house staff member. Extremely overpriced and poor choices. Left without ordering.

Lovely treat from my daughter for my birthday

Wonderful food, friendly helpful staff. Well worth a visit

Love this place! So clean, pretty and vibe is on point! My favourite place to have breakfast!

Great place. Staff are really helpful, great atmosphere, and good food.

The Korean loaded fries are amazing 🤤

Lovely drinks selection and staff are very friendly.

Lovely place for food,very busy,lovely shop upon entry,food available for takeaway,reasonably priced. Car park beside or there's the road in front,wheelchair accessible,kid friendly.

Shame about the cakes, but the teas and coffees were fine. Strange that you can't eat any of the deli offering in the cafe. It looked tastier than the cakes.

Great food, when it eventually arrived, as our order had not been placed, resulting in a 30 minute wait to eat

Slow service, too much syrup on my pancakes

Arrived with my husband and two children around 9.45am. Ordered avocado eggs for myself, the eggs were hard so I spoke with the waiter, Dylan, who promptly sorted it out and got me a new one. The eggs were perfect this time. The reason I’m writing this review is to give credit to Dylan. Not only was he incredibly polite and friendly, he was managing the entire place by himself. I didn’t see another waiter and the place was rammed busy with a big queue too. He kept his cool and took it in his stride, such a lovely lad. He is an absolute credit to the Garden Kitchen. X

Afternoon Tea received as birthday gift. Would highly recommend- both savoury & sweet treats which tasted as good as they looked. Vegetarian option also available

One of my favourite places to meet up with friends for lunch and drinks. The food is gorgeous, the setting is stunning and the service is top class. Highly recommended 💕

Can't recommend this place enough, always amazing food and drink with excellent service in a gorgeous setting. Love the shop, perfect for picking up something lovely for a gift or a treat for yourself!

Lunch/brunch food at Pugh’s is fantastic! Everything was delicious. The service was quick and the staff very helpful, looking after us and offering to bring water for our dogs too. I will definitely return!

Came here for a girlie day and was so impressed. What a treat! The dishes are so beautiful and I was really impressed with the hash I had for brunch. Great atmosphere and lovely, attentive staff. Would definitely return. Great deal on the bottomless brunch too. Not too pricey and seems a great deal for the quality of the food.

My favourite brunch spot with a great range of food on the menu, always beautifully presented, and the coffee never disappoints. Love the decor in the restaurant too - the team at Pugh’s have made a real effort to make this a lovely and unique place to eat, drink and shop.

Best brunch in newport! Lovely food, deli counter had amazing treats and beautiful shop.

Worse cafe in Newport. Most of the waiting staff are the laziest and so careless. They will leave you queue when there are available tables, not take your order and blatantly ignore you. The food is over priced too. Definitely one to avoid, the place is just living on its hype.

Plates smell of egg. Sourdough toast was too hard. Expensive.

Had a delicious brunch called 'hash brown breakfast' a different breakfast/brunch dish that I don't normally see on a menu. Tasty combination of hash brown, egg, bacon, hollandaise sauce, chorizo, chive and spring onions. Quality of food excellent. Service very good with friendly staff and the restaurant setting and atmosphere is lovely.

Food was nice. Some parking facilities. Is very busy on a Friday morning

Well what a delightful experience that was! I had no idea The Garden Kitchen existed until a friend suggested we meet there for lunch. The brucey bonus is it's only 10 minutes away from my house. Welcomed with a smile, we were seated immediately. The place had a lovely buzz for a Thursday lunchtime. The menu was great and catered for all, lovely to see some different dishes available. The Shakshuka was delicious, plentiful and came with a garlic flat bread accompaniment. The coffee was long and hot. Staff were attentive, polite and they came to check if everything was alright with our meal. The decor is fabulous, anywhere with fairy lights and I'm sold! Lovely little deli counter offering sweet and savoury treats and a gorgeous little gift/card area. Will definitely be back. Pugh's strikes again!✨️🫶👌😋

Lovely food. Lovely coffee. Will definitely be back!

Great place to eat food was amazing my cappuccino design was a nice touch overall a great place to eat out and lovely members of staff

I understand I am in the minority here but I live not far from Pughs and go in there fairly regularly as a coffee fanatic. I have bought from the shop also. However, the staff need training on customer service. I counted 12 members of staff in there yesterday, most doing very little, I also heard one of the staff swearing. Service is consistently slow and I have decided to stick to The Nook for my coffees in future! Such a shame as the food in Pughs is nice and the coffee is good too. However, for the prices they charge, service is horrendous. Today I went in to get coffees and pies 🥧 for my dinner, but after being ignored and standing round like a lemon, I fail to see why this place is so popular.

Food was really good, but service extremely slow. It wasn’t busy there and all staff just hanging around the till chatting. We had to call someone to serve us and then the drinks were very slow. Nobody seemed to be supervising the youngsters. Such a shame as the food was lovely when it came

Really busy great atmosphere. We timed it right and got a table but you could have to wait. Good menu and all the food coming out looked amazing.

Very slow service over 10 minutes for drinks had to ask.... prices are crazy can't swap any breakfast items for something else £2 for an egg 🤪 food was very nice

One of my absolute favourite places to eat in the area. Service is always kind and quick. And food is so yummy!! A great vegan & vegetarian selection if you’re after that.

Great food, staff and service! The food is especially fantastic 😋

Small shop with a cafe at the back filled with a great selection of gardening supplies

Great coffee and cakes. Nice products in shop.

A beautiful shop and restaurant. It's always fairly busy when we come but this time we came to buy some pies to take home. Love the homeware selection too.

What a lovely place. Fab food, great staff and a wonderful little shop. Visited again and had duck flatbread. Another lovely lunch

Very nice food. The breakfast in particular. Everything just north of where it should be priced including coffee and alcohol. Service is variable and often slow. Take your own spoon and sugar. If you know what you want then go up to the counter and order. Seem to have quite a turnover of staff and feels a little chaotic at times. Coffee is very good. Nice atmosphere at the times when it's not been turned into a creche. Despite the speeding vans and lorries going past, the outside tables are a mellow place to chill when the sun decides to come out. They sell Laithwaites wines in the shop. Now that was a good idea.

Really nice place. Lovely food and great selection of gifts.

Stunning food and excellent service. The waitress took note and gave us new cutlery after a group sat down and changed tables, due to my partner having an immune condition. Pleasently surprised by her good attitude as we've not had another eatery do this for us before when mentioning!

Great food, great service! Good choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Tasty vegan options. Also a good selection at the deli to take a away afterwards.

Arrived just before 3pm..not busy as no que. Shown to a table. 20 mins later not even asked what drink we would like. Staff chatting to each other for quite some time. One member then took the order from the ladt couple who came in. ( check your cameras..you will see us waiting..others too) We have been attending since it opened and have been used to good food and service. Hope this was a one off.. Miserable rainy day made worse by a lack of customer service.

My special breakfast was decent. A it spicy, it I'm a bit of a wimp with spice. The full breakfast was more like a 3/5 as didnt look great for the price

Fantastic atmosphere, food and service. Never disappoints - especially the cocktails! (Apple and Rose Gin Fizz being my personal favourite)

Fantastic experience at the Garden Kitchen yesterday, food and service was incredible and I couldn’t fault it. The staff were happy to accommodate any request and our meals were delicious (so big we had to take them home!) Cocktails were amazing, I personally recommend the Apple and Rose Gin Fizz as it was a perfect blend of all the flavours. Again, fantastic experience and will be returning very soon!

Great cocktails and although it was busy service was fast.

The service was extremely slow and the manager had a horrible attitude (and was rude to his staff) and made us all feel uncomfortable. There was also no consistency in the flavour/strength of the cocktails. We had a few of the same on our table and they all tasted different, one of which was so bad we requested another. There was also some confusion with the bill at the end where we asked to pay a balance but we’d actually over paid. All in all very disappointing exper

Really pretty cafe and plant shop, and the food we had was tasty. However the service was very slow, we waited in the queue for 30 minutes hoping to get breakfast. It was a busy Sunday but we watched multiple tables leave and could have been sat earlier, however it was so slow that we ended up being sat after breakfast had finished being served. There seemed to be a lot of staff but some were just wandering around not seeming to do anything which was annoying seeing how busy it was. We would come back for lunch again but it was a shame about the service. Portions are big which is good, we had duck flatbread and the chilaquiles (I think they're just based on proper chilaquiles as they were different to what our Mexican friend has before but they did taste good). Would recommend but be prepared to wait around for a while!

Lovely looking place , however overpriced for food and in the shop itself

Food was lovely. Service was slow. Kept getting asked the same questions at different intervals. Breakfasts came all mixed up too.

Good food, slow service, unclean glasses, wobbly tables

Good choice of dishes and food quality

Take care on reading the menu food realy good an service tho
