Nice beer, nice staff. Unfortunately too many barking dogs for a relaxing drink.

Been here a few time and the food "has" always been great with good service and a relaxing atmosphere, but I don't know if there has been a change in management or new chef because it's just awful now.The last two time I've been here the food has been a complete let down, with slow service and a boring atmosphere. The first time I ordered a ploughmans which consisted of two small bowls of pickle, 2 slices of bread, 3 tiny lunchbox style sicks of cheese, and stingy slice of pie. Oh and not to forget the chopped stick of celery.The second time I ordered a Cesar chicken wrap. The chicken was that dry it legitimately cut my gums, for a moment I thought the chef must have got the chicken mixed up with a bag of pork scratchings.For the price you pay here you'd expect some food with at least moderate quality.Bod used to be me go to place im Newport but not any more

Wasn’t impressed with the staff. Went to the counter where the chap was serving a lady. No acknowledgement as I waited. When the lady left with her drinks, he started moving stuff around, then served someone a few feet away! Poor customer service.

I only tend to go for a breakfast, brunch, or a coffee, which I think is very nice. My favourite is the full English, my partner being a veggie has different options which she always enjoys.A good reason for us to go is that they are dog friendly. There always seems to be a few in there. If you're not a dog fan, there is seating upstairs, I've not seen anyone taking dogs up there.The atmosphere is always pleasant and friendly, they also have a loyalty scheme, which gives good discounts, recommend it ?

Regularly go in for a breakfast. Very well cooked and not greasy. Just the right amount.Fast service and a very nicely decorated building.

The food is quite inedible. My wife’s egg Benedict had about a pint of sauce. The muffin was not toasted. Dreadful.

There are better places for cake and a cuppa in Newport. Tables were filthy. Waited ages for a watery, horrible milkshake which was slammed down in front of us without a word from the clearly overstretched waitress. Cake was ok but there are tastier options in the town…

Been here twice now, once with my family for food, and once with the lads for beer, faultless both times. It's more of a cafe in the day time, but becomes a bit more pubby in the evening. There was a quiz on the night we went, and a few dogs roaming around, which is a good thing, I love dogs.
