Very disappointed, the homemade steak and gravy pie has been removed from the menu and replaced with a chip shop meat pie. Which is half the size and no comparison with regard to taste. And to rub salt in the wounds, the same price is being charged as the quality pie. You can not reduce the quality to such an extent and charge the same, then expect yo survive. Bring back the original pie. Going to try the 'Pen and Wig' for our next lunchtime soiree.

Popped in for a couple before the football, seemed like a good friendly place and as the weather was nice went up to the rooftop area which was nice. Will definitely pop in again next time I'm in Newport.

Excellent food & service for our lunchtime get together at The Potters, Newport. Only only one complaint, we are OLD friends who like to have a catch up but conversation is very difficult over music which is far too loud!

The usual pub scrub. Service horrendous. Waitress very impatiently asked every two minutes what we wanted to eat or drink. We dared to eat for about 90 minutes - then said waitress wordlessly slamed the bill on our table. Wow. Never did I hear a "PLEASE GO" more loudly at a pub/restaurent.

I chose the Potters Rooftop as a venue for my Wife’s 50th Birthday party get together. What a great day she had! A lady called Emma booked the party in for me and I found her to be very helpful when it came to helping me organise the day. The party went really well, the atmosphere was great and everyone commented around how lovely the venue was. Thanks for helping make my Wife’s 50th a memorable one!

1st time had a bad experience on mothers day. Seated an hr late after our booking time. Was served the wrong starter as wasn't made aware they'd run out. Had to ask 3 times for the soup. Came after everyone else had finished. My dad was stull eating it when the main course arrived. Main course was lovely as usual.Took ages for dessert and again ran out of cheesecake and only offered a frozen slice to take home. To avoid this happening in future pre orders should be taken to ensure they have enough food to cater for the customers needs.

I would love to put a glowing review, as I have been to Potters on several occasions for drinks on a Friday/Saturday night, but the last twice I have been for food in the last month, I have been really disappointed. The first time the waiter lost our ticket with our orders on, so after 50mins of waiting I asked someone what was going on and it took another 30mins for our food to come. The second time, starters (soup) took 30mins to arrive, then another 30mins for the mains, then we had been in the pub 2hours (from booking in to this point) and no one had cleared our plates or asked for our dessert orders (it was a 3 course set meal) so I had to ask for all of our desserts to take away and settle the bill. In fairness, both times we complained we did get a discount off the bill and an apology, but for this to happen twice within a month, was really not acceptable. I understand they were both Sundays and particularly busy, but we will not be coming back for food unfortunately. Great vibes for Friday/Saturday nights though! 👍

Pre booked for a party of 11 people from 1pm to 2.30pm. Sent in pre order for food the day before so expecting to be served soon after arrival. By 1.40pm food still hadn’t arrived I asked a bar staff member how long we had to wait and she question if we had ordered, then followed by saying there was nothing on their system. When the 2nd bar staff member came over she also said nothing was in their system so I showed the email I had sent with the pre order on, to which I had also received a response confirming the order had been received. I questioned why nobody had come over to us to ask about our order to which the response was “staff do not come over you need to order at the bar.” Well how are we supposed to know that when we had pre ordered. Our order was taken and food was served quite promptly to be fair and all members of the party enjoyed. We were also given a free soft drink each however there should have been better communication as we had booked the table a month prior to the date.

Great adult pub, in all fairness but do not bring children, even in the day. They have children’s items on the menu but they didn’t like it when my kids got up and walked around, despite the pub being quiet, we were the only ones in the bottom area by the sofas. Although, suit wise, great but don’t bother advertising children menu items if you’re going get annoyed at their existence. My kids weren’t even being poorly behaved…

Party of twelve for Sunday lunch, four having travelled by train from Cardiff, the remainder Newport/Gwent based. Booking efficient and helpful. Everyone happy with their drink, especially the beer drinkers! (excellent range). And equally happy with their food choice, plated main, all courses delicious and generously portioned. Excellent value. Some delay between starter and main course but no major issue. Good feel to venue encouraged convivial group atmosphere. Undeniably our overall favourite among several others venues, given its accessibility.

Was supposed to be dog friendly according to reviews. About as dog friendly as a pound of dark chocolate. At least they refunded our drinks, which saved them from a one star review.

We came in here today at 11:45am hoped to have a meal at lunchtime it's bad enough wandering around town these days as it hasn't got many pubs left that serve edible food we came in hopeful left feeling appalled and disappointed by the lack of customer service we received it was hardly busy people were finishing their breakfasts a hard faced crew staring us down as we were probably the first who wanted to order lunch at the bar It was late morning we struggled to find a free table everywhere we went in here tables were reserved but no timed were written on when they were actually to be used the only areas that weren't reserved were in a corner which we were exempt from sitting in for some reason The staff at the till were like zombies my dad had to ask them twice when could we order we weren't starving didn't mind waiting if they were rushed off their feet but they weren't the place was half empty began to fill up as large parties arrived and where we sat we felt trapped by noisy people who coughed like no tomorrow We had to wait nearly 25 mins just to place an order as it "wasnt classed as lunch menu yet" didn't have anywhere decent to sit as it became a squash and a squeeze When we spotted a small table for two tucked away round the side in a corner which was a quiet space free from smokers, loud people and with some room to breathe this old woman with spiky short blonde hair and earrings made us feel uncomfortable and awkward she was incredibly fussy and a jobsworth when we wanted to sit away from the door at the far end of the pub to get away from people who were coughing and dying over their meal we were on edge Got told to wait until 12 then given an even later time to order food we had to wait until 12:15 then 12:45 just to order food! We left at 12:25pm after being told rather rudely in an abrupt manner that we couldn't sit at that table "sorry you can't do that we don't use it" well why is it there then? If you don't use it then remove it! She was just being awkward for no reason and that's why we left I wasn't going to stay where we weren't accommodated for, I doubt our custom would've been appreciated as it was just the two of us seems like they want you to reserve a table just to sit down and have a bite to eat and as though they only want large parties of more than 4 people in this pub! The bar wasn't busy, staff weren't rushed off their feet we weren't hurting anyone just wanted to sit in a quiet space in the corner and have lunch but this woman we encountered couldn't even let us do that! Is it really that hard to let people have a clean quiet table away from everyone else?! Never heard the likes of it having to wait until a certain time to place an order for lunch after midday and then having to be confined to sit in the few scarce tables left with everyone else watching you eat as they cough and wheeze all over the damn place The inside on the bottom floor is so pokey I can imagine people have a job to move around when it gets full god forbid if someone like the elderly or a disabled person has mobility issues and can't get through with their wheelchair! We felt unwelcome and took our service and spent money elsewhere shame on you for not being prepared to deal with customers who didn't want your breakfast or tea/coffee and only wanted a quiet unused area! If you can't already tell from this review we wouldn't recommend and won't be returning I can see why other people have left low scores due to the ridiculous wait times and rude staff you have going on here I'm glad we left when we did I bet we would've had to wait until 3pm to eat lunch and then no doubt would've been hurried off the table for it to be reserved for a large party!

There’s not a huge amount of choice of decent pubs in central Newport , but, this one is spot on. Centrally located - round the corner from the bus station, plenty of room , extensive menu and great staff. I booked ahead as there were 9 of us and all arrangements were confirmed and follow up email to check all went well. Food was very reasonably priced and very acceptable - diverse menu to suit all tastes and short wait from order to table . Drink prices ok - about £22 for a bottle of wine - standard everywhere really except for Spoons. But, what makes the Potters stand out is the staff - friendly, helpful and efficient from start to finish . Oh , the toilets are well kept too ! We will be back ! Diolch yn fawr iawn !

Went in for breakfast. There were 3 of us. Ordered our food and drinks. Waited 40 minutes, still no food. Went and asked, gave our table number, and was told they were very busy and ours was next. Waited another 20 minutes watching people who had come in after us and had their food and went to ask again. Told again that we were next. We said we think we have been missed totally and that others had been served and given their food. Suddenly ours arrived. The food was very nice but we ended up rushing it as we had commitments. So, where we were hoping for a nice enjoyable breakfast was a rushed one.

This was a great find on our way home from Butlins. Feeling hungover and in need of a good Sunday dinner, we found the Greyhound Inn on Google maps and it was just what we needed. A good traditional Sunday dinner. I had the beef and there was more than enough meat. A lovely big Yorkshire pudding and veg. The biggest gravy boat I've seen so plenty to go between the 4 of us. The staff were so lovely and quick to be served. Would definitely call in again if we are in the area.
