The best restaurants serving British food in Caerleon Newport South Wales

Tasted as good as it looked and it looked wonderful. Very friendly and helpful service. My mother was delighted with it.

It's a warm, intimate, and welcoming hidden gem. With its cosy, relaxed vibe and authentic wood-fired pizzas made right before your eyes, the craftsmanship shines through in every bite—simply par excellence!

Best food I've had!!excellent service, price is brilliant. My favourite restaurant anywhere. The owners are lovely

Have been a few times here for lunch, this time I had scallops to start(fantastic), a salmon and hake wellington which was nice but needed more sauce, it was a little dry, followed by an espresso crème brûlée (lovely). The whole pub was very busy and a great vibe, plenty of happy people and noise that I like . The staff were also lovely and the main waitress was fab. If you’ve not been then try it, best to book.

A fantastic Sunday lunch, as always. Best in Newport!

Shame , had we been informed earlier about cash only , we would have spend more money on food and drinks . My phone was ringing while driving to the venue . A bit late then . On arrival we were told sorry we have just taken over so cash only ! I went across to Sainsburys to do a cash back only £30 allowed . Between us we had less then £50 . So good choose was limited and drinks. Dominic and the young lady were polite and helpful . No compensation offered a free drink or coffee for the inconvenience not a great start to opening a pub/restaurant !

Initially I was slightly sceptical about The Priory as there are mixed reviews and feedback from friends was 50/50. I reserved a table for 7 o'clock. I had two emails reminding me of the reservation and two phone calls regarding the same. We arrived around 6.55 and made our way to the restaurant. The Maitre D' Attila informed us that our table was not ready so we retired to the bar...not a good start. Roughly 7.10 we were called forward to our table. The restaurant is very easy on the eye after a refurbishment with pleasant background music. A la carte and chefs special menus were offered and we chose for myself Cod Roe...Belly Pork and a chocolate dessert...my partner Jan had Ham Croquettes....Rock Bream ....Lemon cake dessert. Both mains accompanied by home cooked chips and mange tout/ green bean vegetables. The food was excellent...Ben our waiter was very nice guy....knowledgeable and professional and provided all the answers to our menu queries. Two Estrella beers and a small white wine completed our meal. Overall it was a great experience......the one observation we had was that the mains did not come with the sides.....they were additional to the meal. Would we go back...yes we would probably to experience the Sunday Dinner which has had good reviews. Total cost...less the service charge...was £105.00 which we considered on par with the quality of food and service.

Absolutely appalled by my experience with The Celtic Manor Resort – Rafters. They took £40 from my account without authorization, and despite reaching out multiple times since Monday, I have been completely ignored. No apology, no explanation—just robotic, emotionless responses from staff who clearly don’t care about their customers. I had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency—a loved one in the hospital—and the lack of empathy from the team was shocking. I’ve been a loyal visitor for years, but after this disgraceful treatment, I will never return. A Christmas voucher I didn’t even purchase has somehow resulted in money being stolen from my account, and instead of addressing the issue, they’ve chosen to brush it aside. I will be taking this further to expose just how awful my experience has been. With my connections at Wales Online, I intend to ensure others are warned. Stay well away from this company.

The food is delicious, with a great selection of well-cooked dishes that are full of flavor. The outside play area is a real highlight, providing a safe and fun space for children to enjoy while the adults relax. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. A great spot for families and anyone looking for a lovely meal in a relaxed setting!

Nice friendly pub. Went for the rugby with friends and was surprised to get a free bowl of curry at half time. Much appreciated. The regular menu looked good too

I had Sunday roast with my daughter today at the Hanbury all was fine apart from the roast potatoes which were burnt black and the stuffing wasn't cooked I go there quite a lot and hope it will be better next time 🙂

Stayed in the Celtic Manor for Christmas and had all our meals in the Olive Tree & Garden. The Christmas lunch was excellent, the staff were friendly, respectful and courteous and the standard of service was second to none.
