The Pepper Pot Bar and Grill in Ceredigion

Called in to eat after a day of walking the coastal path. The quality of the food was good, what there was of it. The portion sizes, however, were very small and served on what appeared to be a small side plate. Also, it was expensive.

Great little space that we popped into for Brunch. Went in as soon as it opened; food was great, smmtaff were friendly and helpful and the food was of great value. Club Sandwich was a definite favourite!

Had one of the nicest Sunday dinners here that I’ve ever had! We were so impressed by the quality of food and the Wine was beautiful also. Amazing location and brilliantly run! Well done to all involved. We will be back!

Sunday lunch was ace, really well cooked, great service.

We decided to try The Pepper Pot Bar and Grill for lunch on our last full day in New Quay. The food and service were excellent so we made a reservation for dinner that evening. Dinner was no different. It was, by far, the best meal I had during this vacation. We will definitely return on our next visit to New Quay.

DISAPPOINTED I booked a table for 2 on 4 October for a pre birthday celebrations When myself & husband turned up all dressed to the nines looking forward to our meal & to our horror it was closed we later found out they had gone on holiday 😕 😕 😕 Cancellation works both ways No phone call off owners to cancel our meal lucky for us the blue deli accommodated us & looked after us even a candle in my desert & singing happy birthday 🎂 & the food & service excellent So if you do book at pepper pot ring before arrival as they can't be trusted

£3.50 for 200ml Diet Coke is laughable. Half a pot of tea for two.... I don't know what margins you're working with but I'd suggest working harder.

Warm cosy atmosphere, staff friendly, lovely food, had a nice evening meal , well worth the visit

Oof!! my husband booked last minute for an anniversary meal as we managed to score babysitters- I wasn’t keen, as we came here recently and I chose curry as pretty much the only gluten-free option and it was not good. But my husband had reserved me a gluten-free fish dish so we were excited to be out celebrating our anniversary. Unfortunately my meal reservation was abandoned in the shift change. I ended up having to choose the only other option of very strange and unappetising tiny portion of curried carrot soup. An awful lot can be forgiven when you have wonderful staff that make you feel taken care of. This is definitely not the case at the pepperpot. On the upside-gorgeous setting

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of New Quay, delicious.. We will be back A++++

This was our first meal at the Pepperpot since the new owners took over a while ago. We were hoping it was as good as it used to be and we have to say we would give the place too marks. The welcome was warm, the food excellent and the atmosphere so cosy. We are pescetarians and we had plenty of choice (there is also a vegan menu). Would highly recommend a meal here and we will definitely be returning.

We've been before when visiting friends so planned a return visit. We weren't disappointed. Advisable to book.

Friendly staff. Really enjoyed our meals. We will be returning.

Went on spec as raining and it was close to carpark, most of the options were absent and specials had gone what we had was good but portions were on the small side and rather expensive, drinks also expensive. Service was ok, had the Welsh stew and a puddings. Might go back to see what other options they have but only maybe. On the whole ok but not quite value for money.

Booked for Sunday lunch and then for a Thursday evening for 2 adults and 2 13 year olds . It’s definitely end of the season. The services were rushed and the staff were not particularly warm or friendly - they just needed to get us through. The food quality is excellent but portion sizes were inconsistent with other diners and we felt small in terms of value for money - coconut Chicken curry had 8 pieces of small diced chicken -£20 Chocolate roulade portion 1/2 size of other diners. We had been recommended this restaurant so were really looking forward to it. The Sunday lunch food quality was ok although service rushed so we thought we’d give them another go but on a normal menu and Again food quality was good, portions small so not good value and service average Such a shame

Nice place inside and out. Staff friendly and attentive. Had the rib eye. Chips and sauce were great. Peas overcooked. Steak well seasoned. Not sure it was a 10z. Some parts a bit overcooked but was still tasty.

Lovely place enjoyed my food altho my other half's food was quite well done which he not fan of well done breakfast.

Excellent tacos, steakes and sauces. Service is nice and gentle. Can recommend!!

Absolutely first class food ,& delicious 😋

Best club sandwich in Aberaeron!!

Had a lovely meal last night in this little gem of a place in New Quay. Duo of beef was so tender and the gravy/sauce is the best I've ever had, lovely atmosphere and superb staff made our evening most enjoyable. Will definitely be returning

Had a great evening here listening to a couple of live bands whilst visiting the area for a weekend. Great atmosphere! We loved it. Didn't get round to eating here as we had so much to fit in a short time. We will come again though

Only popped in for a drink but the staff was so friendly and so helpful had to leave a comment

Very welcoming restaurant. Staff were quick to seat us and take our orders. Food, service and atmosphere is excellent. We will be returning here.

Just back from the sea. Very nice eating pub with super food; best breakfast this year. Staff made it easy and nice experience. Sat on terrace out of the wind and protected from threat of rain

Great find Best fish and chips I have had for a long while Great service Dog friendly

We popped in for lunch and what a pleasant surprise. Lovely friendly welcome and all freshly cooked, seabass with continental style vegetables. We will be back, also allow dogs so our border terrier went too which for us is a big plus.

Booking is advisable. We had a good meal, well cooked and tasty. Crumble is recommended if you've still got space!

Had a delicious lunch here on a busy Saturday. Service was welcoming and friendly, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. We sat inside where it's immaculate and cosy.

Really nice restaurant price is a little high for area but the food is worth it, quite simply the best that we tried in the area.

I had lunch at The Pepper Pot today. hope that I hit the restaurant on a bad day. The service was slow and surly. I had Salad Nicoise. What came didn’t resemble the Salad Nicoise I had had at other restaurants, lying sadly as it did on a small bed of iceberg lettuce. The tuna was so thoroughly cooked that it reminded me of wet cardboard. Hugely disappointing, especially for 28 pounds.

Amazing Sunday Roast, reasonably priced, staff excellent. We will be coming back here every time we visit New Quay

We called in here for a spot of lunch after a long coastal walk. The ladies were lovely and the food was delicious! Highly recommend!!

The pub/bar is nestled in the town of New Quay and has a great veranda eating area, as well as the snug and inviting pub itself. Food quality is very goods and their are some gluten free options and lacto free ice cream too. The pub itself is well laid out and quite cosy, Staff are attentive and kind and the food is very tasty, size of the portions aren't massive but to be honest we all left full, just on a main dish. Toilets are clean and tidy which is nice to the side of the bar. Food pricing is between £6-10 ish for starters and mains are around £20+ for most dishes, £30 for a steak. I would definitely recommend this pub/bar for a lunch/dinner or just for a drink, it has a very good atmosphere and relaxed style. Definitely will definitely go back if I'm in the area again. Enjoy a stop off here!

The food was excellent, the kids menu available. Cozy environment and most importantly dog friendly. Service was a bit let down as we had to wait for more than 20mins to get our drinks and further more for food. Overall good experience and will be returning when in the area.

Our first visit to the east coast of Wales and wanted to treat ourselves to a family meal one of the evenings. We booked easily through the website. Although it was an outside table we were provided blankets and the patio heater was switched on. The waitresses couldn't do anything more for us. Very attentive, and couldn't do anything more for us. As the title suggests, the food was delicious, so good in fact, we booked for Sunday lunch. Everything was cooked to perfection and one of the best meals we've had in a while. We recommend everything on the menu, you won't be disappointed. The duo beef and chicken supreme, was succulent and worth savoring. Sunday lunch, wow, what can we say? Definitely recommend booking in advance, but it is worth the anticipation. Glorious selections of meats, seasonal veg, pigs in blankets (yes in April) and Yorkshire to boot. We had a small one with us and he was easily catered for with their kid friendly menu. We also recommend checking the desserts, if you still have room. Two of the best meals and well worth checking out if you are in the area.

Had fabulous meal here. Restaurant quality. The duo of beef was to die for. Should’ve ordered extra veg to go with it because we’re greedy. Waitresses really bubbly and pleasant. Lovely atmosphere. The website like so many others isn’t updated and the menus not the same. Didn’t matter to us as we’d looked on the premises. Wine was just ok. Would definitely visit again.

Such a nice team working here and the food was amazing. Thoroughly recommend.

Having returned on many occasions because of the food quality, we was extremely disappointed with the brunch menu £9 for a kids pizza, which was 100% a frozen supermarket value brand & kids fish was the size of a battered sausage,i've seen bigger fish bites.We had pulled pork ciabattas with a slither of pulled pork. The small pot of chips had more crumbs than chips.We complained to the waitress which went in one ear & out the other.Felt as though its changed ownership for standards to have dropped to in our opinion unacceptable levels.Will not be returning,much better food elsewhere in New Quay !

I took my daughter home from university to our favourite spot for lunch, we sampled their new "Brunch Menu", which had lots of choices to suit most states, and, there were specials available, the food was amazing and the staff were very attentive, as always we came away happy. As an aside I run a Guest House 6 miles inland from NQ, I always recommend The Pepper Pot for their food and always get a positive review the next day.

What a gem of a place! Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it is delightful inside. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long while. I had a trio of vegetables (moussaka, croquette and dauphinoise) all of which were delicious. Other stand out dishes were the duo of beef and the lamb. Desserts were also amazing (sticky toffee, brownie). Lovely atmosphere and fabulous service.

The place had a lovely warm atmosphere. With a really cool decor. The staff were really welcoming. And the food was great. The trio of lamb was to die for!

We were a party of ten and each had a stunning meal and a great evening at the Pepper Pot. Every dish was excellent and the vegetarian trio main course was one of the best we’ve ever had. The puddings, especially the bread and butter pud, were all delicious too. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service from the lovely Charlotte. Would highly recommend and return.

The staff are so friendly and bubbly, the food was absolutely devine, we went there for mothers day and we cannot wait to book again

The Best Sunday lunch In New quay 😍

We visited hear yesterday put of season.. what a lovely find. My self and my partner shared two sandwiches freshly made to order the club and Cuban all served with chips tasted fresh and just enough to keep you going on your day.we also had an extra plate for my some to share some of our chips. My daughter enjoyed her pizza and fish bites off the tapas menu. She is very fussy and didn't leave a crumb. Their wine was lovely and they have a nice selection on draft. Staff was lovely made to feel welcome and nothing seemed to much trouble. We look forward to visiting again

Lovely place to have food. Excellent service, beautifully decorated and really enjoyed our food

Great place to come for a lovely dinner. Staff are great and the food was fabulous. The portion sizes are spot on and great value too.

Highly recommend. Had a delicious meal in lovely surroundings. The staff were grear as well.

Fantastic food and some great twists on the menu 😋

Fantastic steak and gravy. Cannot fault. Definitely recommend.

Another faultless Sunday lunch at the Pepper Pot, one lamb dinner, one beef, with a proper home made Yorkshire pud. Everything cooked to perfection, roasties, veg, meats, all good and looking ahead to our next visit.

Delizioso locale, curato in ogni dettaglio. Sia nell'arredamento, sia nel servizio, sia nella cucina. E sia nell'accoglienza perché trovare opzioni vegane a New Quay non era facile, ma da Pepper Pot si può!

My 1st visit was for Christmas dinner with a group of friends. Lovely refurb. there. Waitress was lovely. The food was too die for, top quality & beautifully cooked. Looking forward to my next meal there 😍

I wish I could eat here all the time, unfortunately for me to do that I would have to travel for 4 hours but believe me this place is worth it! I like to eat out a fair bit and I have been to a number of top restaurants and this is up there with them. I’ve eaten here a couple of times now and everything I eat amazes me and is delicious. Today was no exception, I ordered 3 courses off the festive menu and every course was cooked beautifully and the flavours were delicious (if you choose to eat here you better hope the lamb Bon Bons stay on the menu, they are sooo good )! Between my family, we had a mixture of meat and vegetarian dishes, all were outstanding. The chef out did himself with the goats cheese filo parcel, the flavours were mouthwatering with cranberry and walnuts- the best vegetarian meal we have eaten! The portions are not small and I’m currently sat writing this eating the 2nd filo parcel (my sister didn’t quite manage, as she was soo full). We all walked away feeling satisfied and full. I would walk here just to have the roast again too - I have never been to a place that gets everything on the plate perfect until today. If you haven’t tried here - book in!! I’m from a farming background and the meat was cooked the right way and was very tasty! I wish I could book in for New Years Eve as the menu looks Devine! Ps Even the cocktails - just amazing!!

Lovely little place. Nice food.

Stumbled across the Pepperpot as we were walking the coastal path on a very wet and windy Sunday afternoon. We were made to feel so welcome even in our very sandy walking boots, waterproof trousers and accompanied by our wet and muddy dog. Sunday roast for two was really tasty, two of the biggest Yorkshires I’ve seen, plenty of meat and crunchy roast potatoes. An apple and a rhubarb crumble set us back out on our walk. Thank you

The pepper Pot is situated a stones throw from the picturesque village of New Quay. This pub is full of character The bar and grill offers locally sourced home cooked pub classics with an upmarket feel and taste, along with a specials board updated regularly. Although the classics and standard menu is more than enough to keep you coming back for more, the specials board is where you will find what really sets the Pepper Pot apart from the rest. We visited whenever we had the chance and tried everything we could. Firstly, the Sunday dinner, having arrived without a booking, the staff were very accommodating and made room for us between reservations. They were extremely attentive, kind-hearted, and welcoming. The dinner itself was compact and packed a real punch with everything home made and cooked using fresh and local ingredients. The Lamb was plentiful, juicey, and tender served with a handful of tasty roast potatoes, a large wedge of stuffing, seasonal greens, and a lone roast carrot and pig in blanket. What it lacks in size it more than makes up for in quality and taste. The Oysters were freshly caught and prepared. They tasted just like the ocean, perfectly pared with tobassco and lemon to break up the flavors mild flavour of the Oysters. The classic fish and chips. The cod was cooked with care and attention, the batter golden brown, crispy and fragrant, with the fish soft flakey and mild tasting. The double cooked chips were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside some of the best fish and chips I've had. Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ variety ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Parking ⭐️

Fabulous food and staff. Great location in New Quay. My wife and I had the fish and chips and our Daughter had the steak.

A right gem of a place, lovely staff and the food was outstanding, so much so we ate there twice on our weekend away to Newquay.

Have been to the Pepper Pot numerous times and alway had fantastic high quality food. Quality seems to have slipped somewhat now though. High priced food with pub chain quality. The patatas bravas on the tapas menu were a particular low, crisps with some ketchup on them for £5! When queried the miss sell of these were told “that’s how the chef does them” with a complete disregard from the waitress to our thoughts and them not actually being patatas bravas. I can’t think of a time I’d ever pay £5 for some crisps especially ones that quickly went soggy. Not so sure we will be back again.

We booked to come here for Sunday lunch and boy we were not disappointed. Staff very attentive and friendly, food was out of this world, plenty of it and excellent quality. We are only here on holiday for a few days but are hoping to visit again before we leave it was so good. Very clean and lovely vibe. Thank you all for a fantastic Sunday lunch.

Amazing food, amazing service, love the outdoor seating area looking down to the sea.. local people are so friendly ! Loved it here.. I had Sunday roast dinner and a cooked full breakfast, both were so good.. highly recommended x

Called in for a beer, stopped for a starter. Food excellent, service very friendly and efficient. Will definitely call back for a full meal

Amazing food and service, couldn't fault it at all! We had the sliders and lamb 3 ways, stunning and the service was amazing

We booked a table for Sunday lunch ( 1st Oct) via email, had no issues at all, and had a fantastic lunch, we opted for the sharing platter, so we had a little bit of everything ❤️ it was so tasty, we booked in for and evening meal on the Friday. I had the steak, which was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, the homemade chips were the best I've ever had, fluffy on the inside, golden and crispy on the outside 😋 well done to you all, we love visiting every time we stay, hopefully see you soon.

Had a lovely full breakfast here, not once, but twice it was so nice 😋 Loved it.

We enjoyed our visit My hubby had the curry & he really enjoyed I had the lamb 3 ways it was so tasty Service was excellent

Had a gorgeous meal at The Pepper Pot this evening. Really warm welcome, fab drinks and the service was great. Food was so good. We had belly pork and lamb starters, and then rib eye steak and lamb three ways, all stunning! Restaurant had a really nice relaxed vibe. We’d definitely return.

A lovely quiet setting in the heart of the West Wales fishing town of New Quay. Great menu with all local produce. Charlotte and Caitlin did their utmost to provide great hospitality and good service. I highly recommend the Tiger Prawns for starters and their Dark Chocolate brownie for dessert. Both simply scrumptious. A highly recommended dining experience.

Couldn't wait to eat here as most of the reviews were positive. The good ----- the staff were very polite and welcoming. It's dog friendly. The food was quite tasty. The not so good ------- Don't go if you're hungry as the portions are very small. The food is very over priced for the portion size, I had the special, seafood paella. Wow, so disappointed, came in a medium sized bowl which was half full. 3 prawns, 7 mussels - of which 3 were empty, 3 clams- of which 2 were empty and a few small cockles. £24!!! Terrible value for money. My husband had the burger sliders, onion rings and chips. Not too bad portion wise but a small amount of chips. Dessert was apple and blackberry crumble with a thimble full of cold custard. No fruit as such, more of a puree. I only had a dessert as I was starving after the paella. Husband had a white chocolate roulade which was nice but again, 1 small slice. £7 each! I did bring our disappointment to the lovely waitress and asked her to let the chef know, surely, if you advertise something as a special then it must include an ample portion of what it's advertising - not the small offering I received! When presented with the bill, the waitress stated she had added a small discount - this was small too 10%. To add insult to injury, the waitress asked us if we wanted any sauces etc to go with our meal so I asked for parmesan to go with my paella. It was literally a tablespoon of grated cheese for the additional price of £2!! Really?? I'm surprised my husband wasn't charged for his ketchup!! To sum up, the food was tasty, just very stingy with the portion sizes and very over priced - no wonder it was empty there.

They were so busy we had to be seated outside which is good for the business but it was a little chilly.. host was lovely but unfortunately not for us and really expensive….£42 for two Sunday dinners and two drinks… best thing on the plate was the Yorke pud… carrot was dry…meat was far to chewy and not quite sure what was in the mash but it was awful… smelt so good when we walked by so really disappointed

We chose here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and were not disappointed. We started with cawl and chicken tandoori as a starter, then lamb 3 ways for husband and chicken coconut curry for me, with apple and ginger crumble for me and cheesecake for husband. The staff were great, very friendly, and the food was lovely. Not our usual restaurant on holiday, but very worth it. We even chatted briefly to owner/chef on our way out.

Lovely restaurant, great staff and a great vegan roast dinner. We will be back.

We decided whilst on a trip to Newquay to pop back to The Pepper Pot a little gem of a place we discovered the last time we went there. The plan was to Just have a drink but after looking at the menu we decided to have a meal. We were not disappointed. We had Chicken,Chorizo and Roasted red pepper Linguine as well as Lamb 3 Ways. The food was amazing and we didn’t wait long after ordering even though they were busy. The food was cooked fresh. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming . The staff even though they seemed busy took the time to answer questions from customers there. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and certainly will be returning the next time we visit Newquay.

Great little bar and restaurant! Good quality beer and amazing roast dinners! Attentive staff and dog friendly, handy having a well covered outside area for the unpredictable Welsh weather! We had the roast sharing board for two which was amazing the meat cooked perfectly and large portions

I can not praise this amazing place enough, service spot on 👌and a big thank you to Angela (think that was her name) for being so accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious so much so we went twice - the live music on the Sunday was an added bonus and we can’t wait to return.

Had a fantastic meal at the Pepper Pot during a recent family holiday to New Quay. The menu was varied with good veggie options for me (tofu tacos were amazing). My father said it was the best fish & chips he'd ever had. My mother was bowled over with the Welsh lamb three ways and my husband said the sliders were superb. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Staff were friendly and attentive. The best place to eat in New Quay.

Went for tapas but were very disappointed. ; One saugage sliced in half £5 ! Patatas Bravas were some crisps dribbled with tomato sauce. Worst 'tapas' I have ever had anywhere. We did complain and had the bill reduced but unless they intend to do...

Came here for my 50th with friends , everything was perfection . The staff were friendly , the food amazing . We stayed in the apartment above which was lovely too Thank you to all that made my stay so special I'd definitely recommend this place

We had dinner here twice during our short stay, both times we had a fantastic time .. Abi and her team did everything they could to ensure we enjoyed our dining experience with them, they are professional, great fun and attentive, the ambience is comfortable...

Such a little gem. The food was fantastic i suggest if pork is on the menu, you must try. The fried potatoes were like crispy clouds. And the 2 lovely girls serving, were busy but so friendly

Happy friendly staff...Excellent tapas and fantastic wine .

Gute Bar oben an der Klippe über dem Strand. Schöner kann man kein Getränk zu sich nehem

What a brilliant find for our wedding anniversary. We dined with 3 of our grandchildren. The staff engaged perfectly with them. Great menu, especially the specials board. We commented that this was the best seafood we had received outside of France. Great food and service,...

Excellent food. Fantastic friendly service.

What a great find! I visited the Pepper Pot this week with my wife and children (15 & 13) andwe were all very impressed. We got a lovely welcome and were served our drinks in the outside seating area while we waited for our table...

We went for my mother in law’s birthday. They staff could not have been more helpful. Excellent service, amazing food. Dog friendly too. Would highly recommend!

Our first visit under the new management. So impressed with food, service and staff. Excellent selection of fish on the specials board, served with plenty of imagination by a first class chef. All the staff were friendly, professional and the majority spoke to us in...

Great food, best we had in New Quay. Lovely staff too, I'd advise booking though as walk ins would need luck.

Fantastic sandwiches both crab and chicken club. Lovely friendly service

Only had a drink but the food looked really good

Ate here three times during our stay in New Quay this weekend. Evening meal was excellent, beautiful fresh fish caught locally. Breakfast also delicious and all staff very friendly with attentive service. We will definitely be back!

Went here yesterday as per someones review. I was honestly disappointed. The food took 45 minutes to get to us. When it turned up the meat was nice, Yorkshire pudding was cold and the veg was served in a small bowl, limited veg. The gravy...

Popped in Sunday 13th august. Welsh folk music sounded great although no idea what they sang about. The reduced menu dishes were incredibly good, we really enjoyed and look forward to another visit when back in this wonderful part of the world.

Arrived without a reservation and were seated after a short wait (with drinks). Would highly recommend and definitely worth a visit.

Outstanding food and service. Went twice during our five day stay.

Poor poor poor Poor service Poor portions Poor food

This is an absolutely dire establishment. The service was beyond poor and the food was nothing to make up for this. We were waiting 45 minutes for our starters and when they finally arrived they weren’t worth the wait. The scallops were minuscule and overcooked and the advertised black pudding accompaniment was no where to be found. This laughable portion size left me disappointed and hungry after the long wait. The steak ordered medium rare and 10oz arrived as a 6oz at best pale grey disgrace that left me ashamed to have even given this establishment so much as a penny. Now over an hour and a half into this fiasco we are left a further 30 mins with empty plates and bored looks. When service finally arrived they were rude and unconcerned. When we asked for the bill we got a short “right” then were left a further 10 minutes waiting. We had another booking later that week and when we FINALLY got the bill we politely asked to cancel that booking and before the sentence was finished the unconcerned waitress interrupted to say “cancel, it?” in a snide voice. Absolutely avoid this place like the plague.

Popped in to have a salad which was great but a very small portion for £17. It was very overpriced and I was so hungry I had to order chips as an extra which turned up in a bowl more fit for pea nuts. Great food but massively overpriced. Shame really.
