The Green in Newport

Had a fantastic brunch at the Brunch with Santa yesterday, the food was lovely, the atmosphere was perfect and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. I had never been to The Green before but had been recommended and will certainly be back. From start to finish it was perfect and it was incredibly well managed. My little girl had the most amazing time and Santa was brilliant. Can’t wait to book for next year. Thank you x

Just had a delightful coffee and cake at 11am this morning but this review is a tale of rwo halves. The ladies who served us were extremely pleasant but it was a little early for lunch. However as it approached midday a chef/owner approached our table and asked us to leave as he required the table. Under normal circumstances completely understandable but we also wanted lunch so we requested the menus to order. He flatly refused and told us to leave. He was a rude arrogant man. My daughter is 8 months pregnant and needed something to eat. Through similar posts it seems we are not the first to experience his attitude. I mentioned on paying we were not happy but it wasn’t the lovely lady’s fault as she had been very accommodating. Such a shame as it seemed a nice venue but we will be finding alternatives for our next lunch. 😡

Called as we were in the area and wanted to stop for coffee, as we have done before. Arrived in asked for a table for two. Waited at the table for a while then decided as they seemed busy I would order at the counter where I was directed rudely back to the table being told that there would be a waitress delivering drinks to the table opposite and they would take my order. A few mins later the same waitress who advised me to return to the table appeared and I said I thought you said your colleague would serve us after she finished serving the table opposite? At this point once again she went off on one saying do you want me to serve you or not! While am not complaining about the coffee shop as I have visited here before and enjoyed the products on offer, am pointing out the service being given by a member of staff. It's not that we entered here to start any trouble if anything going to order at the counter if anything would have eased the burden on the staff. Customers should not be given a barrage of hostility just because they tried to ease the pressure of a busy morning.

Gluten Free Full English - delicious. You don't get the option in many places....

Loved everything about this place

Lovely venue staff and food, will be back 👌

The cheese & ham toasted sandwiches were amazing today as they always are and Jason even came over to check that everything was ok with the food!

Lovely, cosy coffee shop, offering breakfast, lunch, cakes and beverages. The staff very friendly and helpful and food is reasonably priced and excellent quality. I can recommend the toasted triple special sandwich, which was absolutely delicious.

Fabulous little find, service so friendly and happy. Pet friendly too.

Popped in for a quick coffee on a very rainy day. Staff were lovely and friendly, and the coffee was very good. It was a perfect stop off in Caerleon.

A delicious and generous, good value meal with fast and friendly service. Catered for both vegan and carnivore diets (and all in-between!)

Just came here for a breakfast, bacon burnt, eggs hard , even when complained new eggs came out but were hard again, mushroom portion was minute only 6 little bits not making up a whole mushroom, certainly overpriced, won't be back sorry... apologies for poor review, 2/10

Amazing place and great food. Staff go above and beyond to accommodate. Xx

Lovely staff, nothing was too much trouble, the food was great too, nice little find for a Saturday morning breakfast

A lovely little place . Had to wait for my car and was looking for lunch . The Green looked inviting and the atmosphere was friendly. The staff were lovely and invited me to take a seat . I ordered a sandwich and although I was told there may be a wait on the food it arrived in a good time and looked great (compliments to the chef) . The place was nice and clean with plenty of seating overall I would highly recommend The Green top marks to the staff and thank you.

50 minute wait for a full English. It was fairly good but just too long! *To add, we were not given complimentary drinks!

Lovely little gem excellent service and friendly staff. Toasted chicken bacon and Brie sandwich was amazing dog friendly and they give the did cooked chicken Will definitely return

Loved it here. Friendly helpful staff and the breakfast was so tasty. Not very often I clear my plate, but I wasn't leaving any of my veggie breakfast behind. Highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprised that my old drinking den is now a very dog-friendly café, serving a fine cappuccino, accompanied by a big smile, and a warm welcome......get in there!

Best breakfast we have had in a long time. Very friendly, service is great and the food even better 😋 thank you

Excellent place to grab some lunch or a coffee and cake.

Myself and three friends went to the Green for a cream tea on the 21st March, we can fully recommend it, plenty delicious food, and tea and coffee served in proper tea and coffee pots. The price is very good considering how much food you get.

Had lunch there today. Waitress explained they were busy, but still we waited about an hour to receive food. Another table queried as to when they would receive their food. When out comes the chef (owner) and basically abuses them. When our food at last arrived one dish was foud to have a long dark hair amongst the chips after returning it to the waitress and explaining she didn't require a replacement. Lo and behold out comes the chef again and basically accused my friend of putting the hair there herself she tried to explain that if wasn't one of us as we are all blonde. He told her the customer is always right except when they are wrong. No apology just more abuse. The look on people's faces. Spoke volumes. We won't be returning .

Went for lunch here today and had reason to return my food as there was a long black hair in it. I pointed it out to one of the staff who took the food back to the kitchen. A few minutes later the chef/owner came out to our table and asked who had returned the food. I said it was me and told him the reason for returning it. Rather than apologising the chef said he could assure me that the food had not left his kitchen with a hair in it. I asked him to look at the 5 of us sat at the table who are all on our 60’s with light hair so it could not have come from one of us. Again he said that he hadn’t sent it to me like that and basically called me a liar, he then promptly left. There was absolutely no reason for him to speak to me in this manner. He was very confrontational and his voice was raised. This all happened in the middle of his restaurant during a busy lunchtime service. I was very upset about being spoken to like this and will never return to this place. I wouldn’t normally leave a negative review as I would prefer to resolve any concerns at the time but I feel the attitude of the chef leaves a lot to be desired. I was not asking for a replacement meal or compensation in any form. An apology would have been sufficient.

Good food, generous portions. Friendly staff.

The food is always of fantastic quality and in a cosy environment. Fab staff as well.

Went today and was refused eggs on toast at 11.45 because it was too late! The menu stated breakfast until 12.00. Very disappointed as the food is always good. Will not be returning!

Ideal place for a catch up with friends over breakfast, lunch or just a hot drink and cake. A busy little place, but never too long to wait for a table. Staff are welcoming and friendly.

Local numa pequena aldeia em Walles... Acolhedor com bolos caseiros! Um brunch delicioso 😋

The service here is amazing. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the coffee is perfect too.

First of all the Food was amazing, I have had a million Christmas works do type meals and this was by far the best I have had. The staff were helpful and funny and the beer was cold and tasty. A great singer was also there adding to an already great night. Bravo 👏 👏

Just went for a cuppa with a couple of colleagues. I had soya milk hot chocolate, one had a latte and the other a cappuccino. Staff are lovely, polite and friendly. Clean cafe and toilets, nicely decorated.

Beautiful food, and lovely hosts

Great place to meet and eat and dog friendly too

You've dog friendly and "❤️DOG-Friendly❤️". They absolutely love dogs here. The entire staff came to greet the dog and to cuddle him. They gave him a big bowl of cheese, which hey absolutely loves. Food was proper and authentic as you might expect. Definitely a place to go and bring your dog and enjoy a lunch!

Great selection and variety of homemade cakes. Customer services was really friendly and family atmosphere.

I love this restaurant. The staff are always friendly, the food is excellent value for money and they are the most dog friendly place I’ve ever visited. With a bonus of spectacular cakes! Brilliant!

I must only go to good places!!

Breakfast was nice, cooked well. Staff were friendly and service was of decent timing. Quite expensive. We ordered a large and medium Breakfast and two cans of coke. You order a can of coke which they display on their counter assuming it will be the price of a can (£1ish) and they give you a glass for £2.40, When you pay with card your asked to tip and it gives you 4 options,the lowest starting at 10%. My daughter pressed the 10% as she's to polite not to when they tell you before you type in your pin, "there will be a question to answer before you pay" Total came to over £26 for two Breakfasts and two cokes. Quality of Breakfast was nice though.

Had a lovely meal here with friends and family. Great portion sizes and the staff were friendly too. Would definitely recommend.

A good venue and a lovely cup of coffee ☕️ 👌

Staff are wonderful and breakfast is huge & great value. Coffee very good. Glamorgan sausages awesome.

Emma,Jason and the ladies are always so welcoming and the food is ALWAYS GOOD

Popped in here whilst travelling through the area because there was a sign outside that they were dog friendly, had such a great experience that we will now be using this place as a destination in future. Lots of lovely little touches that made our visit great, such as being seated and our dog immediately being given a bowl of water. Then when out drinks were brought out they also brought out a bowl of chicken for our four legged best friend (they checked first) When we settled the bill, we were pleasantly surprised with low the bill was - less than £15 for two drinks, two cakes and a bowl of chicken for the dog! Everybody who worked there was smiling and a pleasure to speak with. If you're thinking of visiting this place, please do! Such a lovely little gem! **Dog friendly, dog friendly cafe, afternoon tea, afternoon tea dog friendly, well priced**

Dog friendly, and they get a chicken , staff alway so lovely Thank you 😊

Great food but drinks are a bit overpriced, I would go there more often if it were more reasonable. Nice place to head for a brunch/lunch. Other coffee shops might be better if you just want coffee and cake though...

Terrific little gem. Great place to eat fresh food, great service and very pleasant. Our server was great but did not get the chance to thank her except by tip. Locals friendly and talkative. The cakes were enjoyable by the children. I loved the IPA. It is also dog friendly. Thank you and see you again.

All day breakfast was lovely and fresh. Friendly staff and nice seating out the back with lots of shade.

Really nice place staff friendly and welcoming we sat outside under the gazebos while we had nice weather dog friendly place the homemade cakes looked nice. We had Welsh breakfast tasty and good value for money would highly recommend

Nice cakes nice coffee and wonderful staff and service

Good food and coffee, went twice in a week, says it all. My only grumble, was that I had to wait 15 minutes on both occasions to have my order taken, and that was after I got up to order from the till, staff are all friendly, perhaps I was a bit unlucky, will try again soon.

Had breakfast last week and it was Fab, lots of it and good quality. Just stopped off today for some lunch. (Our dog had lunch too). Cakes look amazing, so we are coming back to try. Staff friendly and love dogs .

Dog-friendly café. Good breakfast options, milk alternatives and fresh baked goods.

Very friendly custom , good food , quaint .

Staff are fantastic, couldn’t do enough for us. Food was great and a big selection. Really dog friendly, and a lovely atmosphere.

Nice restaurant etc pricey mind

Enjoyed our Christmas Dinner very much.Everything was piping hot, plentiful and very well presented. The service was very good and the staff lovely. A lovely cosy atmosphere made our afternoon a very pleasant experience.

What alovely little place , an amazing find & will deffinatly be trying it again .

Wonderful breakfast and the staff was amazing.. Very helpful and proactive

Great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, dog friendly and always give dogs a bowl of chicken and water on arrival which is exceptional. Cannot fault this place at all, will make this our regular. Nice and clean. Plenty of choice of food, delicious cakes. My sister and I and her little dog were very happy here.

Lovely, local cafe. Food and coffee is really good. The sandwiches are always of a good standard and the veggie breakfast is lovely. Very dog friendly, they give them food and lots of attention which is nice to see. The team there is always friendly and provides great service.

Found this while looking for a breakfast! Wow what a gem. Gluten free brekky, runny eggs and crispy bacon! Stunning! On point! Was really fast and was only 2 of them running the place today! Top top place!

Absolutely stunning. Service, first class, food first class, atmosphere first class. Well worth a visit if you haven't already 😉 definitely going back. Maybe try the gorgeous looking afternoon tea!

Good food, friendly staff and nice surroundings, what else do you need.

First visit ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Very friendly staff and a lovely relaxed restaurant 💖 will def be returning

Best coffee shop around, great food, great place to take your dog

Stopped off here a couple of times for breakfast on our group bike ride. Plenty of space outside to dine and store our bikes and it's got cover should it rain! A nice selection of breakfast and cake. A prompt service.

Absolutely love this place, they are dog friendly which was great, the dogs were given a bowl of chicken each free and they were more than happy, the staff all came over and asked if they could stroke the dogs and they really made a fuss of them A********* really worth a visit you won't regret it, nor will your dogs

Friendly Staff, very nice food, would definitely visit again..

First time here today with our dog and 5 year old niece. The staff were lovely and bonus is that dogs can be inside and out. We sat inside as it was too hot outside and the staff served us really quickly, they even brought out some chicken for our dog who was super happy. The food was lovely and the portion sizes are spot on. Can’t wait to visit again.

Wonderful place. Staff amazing even fed our dog. Food was excellent (and our dog agrees). Great meanu selection. Recomend 5 star.

Best breakfast I've had in along time... service was great...very reasonable priced....glad I didn't order large breakfast, as the small was ample for me...

Very clean lovely food friendly staff fully recommend this

Lovely place for a excellent meal, staff were lovely and very helpful, shame the owner has no people skills

Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast with my 13 year old granddaughter at this lovely place recently. The staff were friendly & welcoming and happy to make adjustments to the breakfast ordered by my granddaughter who 'didn't like' certain things replacing them with her preferred favourites! The cakes looked delicious too but we didn't sample on this occasion....will be returning soon!

Service great but food can be very hit and miss On this occasion was ok but really don't like the skin on fries

Fantastic service great food we sat outside with our dogs they were brought out water and a treat of chicken and sausage pieces before we had even sat down will definitely be going back excellent....x

Great place for coffee and cake as well as breakfasts and lunch . It is the Grandaughter's favourite place for lunch (Grandson likes it as well). Very dog friendly as well as great for children.

Great food, great service and this place is super dog friendly!

Lovely food and super dog friendly.

Very best placed to have breakfast

Very nice restaurant with a good selection of dishes on the menu, including options for children, light meals, and more substantial appetites. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. Children are welcome and all customers appeared to be treated with great respect and dignity. Been there, before, and will visit, again.

Absolutely lovely place! Extremely friendly, accommodating staff and made my dog feel like a princess with a load of chicken! absolutely recommend.

Edited: not sure why it was set as 4 stars, should be 5. Lovely place and people, good food, very welcoming to dogs too.

Had the large brekkie and it was spot on, no grease or oil left on the plate, it was cooked superbly, staff very friendly and choice of cakes was great. Well worth a visit.

Ordered gluten free toast. Was served it burnt. I don't know how you can calmly give it to customer in that state... Mind you they did put more burnt side facing down. That's how much black I've scraped off! No standards..

good value for money lovely atmosphere

A lovely cozy cwtchy little coffee lounge with a good selection of snacks. Very friendly staff.

Delicious range of cakes. Enjoyed the lemonade

Good coffee and cyclists welcome

Beautiful little cafe food fab.

A great and extensive menu offering super value for money, the food is delicious. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Well worth a visit.

As always the food and service is great at the green but booked a table this time thinking we were booking for Sunday lunch but disappointed to find there was no Sunday Lunch and there was no hint of this on their website. Disappointed

Nice happy place, good value for money

Never again!!!!!! A breakfast isn’t that difficult to do, however this was disgusting. It seemed as though I was really putting them out when I was paying for a service. Please try and cook the eggs properly.

Great spot. Keen lover of a cooked bfast didnt know this place did one. Went today for 1st time. Best bfast I have had in months. Amazing

Beautiful breakfast, excellent service, thank you.

Quick call in for breakfast enjoyed Al fresco in rear garden

Had a lovely evening here with my wife & friends & lovely food. Thanks very much, will definitely be back.

Met up with some family members for lunch at The Green. We had our dog and baby with us. The kids menu is fab and there are baby changing facilities in the ladies loo. We've never been anywhere so dog friendly! Our doggo was spoilt with treats and attention. And if you sit outside the tables are sturdy so excellent for tying up a food obsessed and very strong labrador. The adult food was brilliant too with a huge selection of yummy cakes.
