Being a local I did not stay at the hotel but I thought I'd try the food as eating out in Newport is limited to say the least (unless you like pizza/pasta, there are at least 4 of these). I fancied traditional pub food which today is a scarce as all the pubs seem to be in the Gordon Ramsey mode, posh food, very little of it and expensive. The Wheatsheaf’s menu included real pub classics including Steak and Ale pie, Pork Belly, Steak and Chips, Lamb Shank to name a few.
For starter’s I opted for the chilli prawns, a generous portion, cooked perfect and presented shell off which saves all that peeling and messy fingers! Starters are all priced at £5.00. I followed this with a perfectly cooked 8oz sirloin steak (med-rare) with lovely crispy chips and a blue cheese sauce accompanied by a nice crisp fresh salad, (which was not just a bowl of leaves like in most places). Although the chips were frozen they were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, perfect, I almost mistook them for the latest fad (3 times cooked chips). The chef must have a trick up his sleeve. The steak was cooked perfect. A field mushroom would have been a nice touch. Here's the good bit, all main dishes are only £10, if you fancy steak you do pay a £4.00 supplement which is fair.
Even though I was stuffed I could not resist the homemade Rhubarb Crumble with cream. I managed to eat ¾ of it. Again, all the desserts were priced at £5.00.
All I can say is although this pub has had a bad reputation for food in the past this is certainly not the case now, it’s really worth giving it a try.
Our first visit but it won’t be our last. Called in for a coffee and decided to have a sandwich. Chicken and bacon with mayo. Best I’ve had for taste it was delicious and great value. Nice surroundings and very helpful staff
I visited Wednesday with my pugs and ordered a massaman curry it was beautiful. The rice was sticky and yummy and the curry was divine will be back for lunch again today. The lady who owns the buisnessn is very friendly aswell i like when you find good service. Highly recommended if you are out in the market if not why not go there get thai food people 😋 😀 😉
Best place for breakfast and dinner in town or surrounding area .. eat in or take out .. it is very cheap .. and so clean .. never find a spot of grease on your plate when getting full breakfast .. I love this about the place .. if you have never been you definitely should . I guarantee you'll never go anywhere else again 💯
We went in this little cosy restaurant to see what kind of food they do as it says burger plus outside the shop, we thought might try some burgers however once we looked at menu we decide to try the chapali kebab,piri piri Chicken wings, and a wrap. With all honesty the kebab was delicious it tasted like an authentic chapali kebab, the yougurt mint sauce just complimented the kebab beautifully. We all shared it and my children really enjoyed. The wrap didn’t disappoint either it was delicious and the wings were the best. I would most recommend it don’t take my word for it, try the traditional ice cream too. We enjoyed our evening very much.
This is my favourite cafe for breakfast:) friendly welcome, good food, nothing is too much trouble, great atmosphere cheap and cheerful with lots of banter, try it you will love it! We do :):):)
Came here quite recently for the first time, looking for somewhere new to grab a breakfast. The staff were friendly, we ordered 2 full English breakfasts and it was lovely! Great value for money too. We will be returning again. 👍🏻
The minute we walked in we were welcomed by the gentleman at the bar. He was genuine and extremely helpful. The food was excellent - we had the surf and turf. All freshly cooked and served with a smile. Highly recommend.
This cafe has got it right in every way -friendly staff, quick service, generous portions cooked really well, great prices, clean and simple decor. Please support this local business and enjoy a good meal. The smoothies/milkshakes are yummy if you fancy a treat.
We actually travel from the Isle of Man to Ollys Kitchen to eat the best cooked breakfast anywhere on the planet. The staff are super efficient and very friendly. You can sit in or take away and the food is excellent. Whilst we were there they were constantly providing breakfasts, sandwiches and hot meals for a large amount of customers, providing a personal service for each person. You won't get better service anywhere
Lucky for me the layby where Olley parks his trailer is really close to me so a good breakfast sarnie is a real treat. Top quality sausages and bacon plus all the trimmings . A real change from usual cheap roadside cafes . Quality food, clean and friendly too.
Visited on a miserably wet Sunday but was cheered up tremendously by a pot of beautifully fresh prawns and a crayfish, salad and lemon mayo sandwich which was made while I waited. Plenty of fresh filling in lovely soft brown bread. Cost a little of £7 for both. Made my day and will definitely visit again ☺️
