Cafe in Newport

“Was not happy, because I thought it had closed down, very happy to see it open. The food is excellent, coffee outstanding and the staff very amiable. August '23 still great.”

“This place is the absolute business. Fantastic. Had beef stifado and salad, glass of red and a Greek coffee. Everything was perfect.”

“Cozy, well decorated coffee shop with a great selection of hot and cold drinks and divine homemade cakes! Haven’t had brunch there yet but all the food coming out the kitchen looked and smelled delish. Lovely staff, friendly and welcoming. Bonus that it was dog friendly too! Lush!”

“First time visiting Bragu Cafe. Ordered the maxi breakfast, kids breakfast, English tea & a Nutella hot chocolate. Food was delicious, especially the spicy sausage & chicken bacon. Everything was cooked to perfection & I'm very particular about how my food's cooked. Modern clean interior, reasonably priced food & drink and good customer service. Will definitely be back!”

“A wonderful pub with very friendly staff and customers. Was made to feel welcome as always. Look forward to our next visit.”

“Took my niece here today, my sister recommended this place before as an amazing alternative bar, popped in and Romi Lane was playing live she was brilliant, overall a great atmosphere and vibe! Staff friendly and professional, definitely have to go again.”

“Had my baby shower afternoon tea here. And it was one of the best afternoon teas I’ve had. So reasonable on price and all staff were friendly and the set up was so pretty. Definitely recommends”

“Lovely cafe nestled in Beechwood park. Fresh menu but i’m really here to rave about the most delicious pecan tart i’ve had! So delectable and moreish, honestly wish i bought more than one slice- perfect autumn treat!”

“Driven past many times, so I'm so glad I popped in. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Good choice on the menu. Very reasonable prices. Breakfast was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The open fire made it very comfy. Glad I did pop in. Will definitely be going in again. Would recommend.”

“What a great boozer. Popped in for a quick pint but ended staying for a couple as the atmosphere was so warm. Wished I had time to stay longer. Old school style pub and mean that in the most positive of ways. I'll be going back for sure!”

“The food at the Thackeray is always consistent with high quality food. They offer the best roast dinner in Wales! They change the daily specials menu, daily and have unique options. They offer a great selection of drinks - including cocktails and wine. The staff are always friendly and offer great service. Highly recommend.”

“We went here with our oldest daughter for lunch. Absolutely fantastic. Wide choice of dishes. Excellent service from helpful and friendly staff. I wish we had a Drago Lounge where we live in the far north of Scotland.”

“Saw the Rapunzel Panto yesterday. Brilliant show, full of great singing, acting and dancing. Made us all laugh out loud. One of the funniest pantomimes I've ever been to! Keep up the good work guys. See you next year!”

“One of the best farm days out we have had. Really good value for money. There's loads to see and do here like Tractor rides, quads in the barn etc. Highly recommend for all the family.”

“Lovely staff !! Yummy croissants Loved the atmosphere and especially the wall painting Had the meal + hot drink just @£5”

“Hanna the owner is the most loveliest person I've met. Was super patient and kind when we were unsure of what to get. Gave her recommendation. Gave my cousin a free cake for her birthday and just did more than I expected. And the staff she has are phenomenal so kind. If you ever go tell them the guy that had the hazelnut tea idea told you to go.”

“Best pint of guinnes in newport by far. Me and my auntie are fussy guiness dri kers, it's like drinking cream”

“The Cross Inn is a hidden gem in Cardiff! Stopped by recently and was really impressed. The pub has a great traditional feel with a modern touch – cosy, clean, and full of character. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere from the get-go. The drinks selection is solid too, with well-kept beers and a good variety behind the bar. Plenty of seating inside and out, and a lovely spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a quiet pint. Definitely one of the better pubs around – will be back soon!”

“Stopped in for a drink, I had the strawberry milkshake which was lovely! The staff were really friendly and service was quick. The milkshake itself was a little on the expensive side but was absolutely gorgeous so worth the extra money if you’re looking for a good milkshake!”

“Our table was booked for 7.30pm. We early and allowed to sit at our table. We also to order early too. Food was served within 15 minutes. Well presented and very tasty. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Lovely night night for my 60th birthday with my husband. Thank you”

“Amazing slow smoked ribs and a steak! Very reasonably priced good atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed.”

“Our first experience of dining here ( Sunday lunch) although we have been here to drink and watch the rugby. Our meal was delicious, we couldn't fault it. Beautifully presented and extremely tasty, a cut above most pub Sunday dinners. Infact, best one we've ever had, and we've had a few. The staff were lovely, friendly and full of spark, nothing was too much trouble. We love this place; it's so 'normal' and relaxing and the clientele friendly, chatty and welcoming. We'll be back!! Catherine and Richard”

“Had Christmas lunch at the Monkstone. Absolutely excellent. Food was gorgeous and staff couldn't do enough.”

“I've been eating at this place for over 35 years ( changed hands a couple of times in that time). It's convenient for me, as I travel to and from Newport regularly by bus. I've tried quite a few of the dinner options on the menu ( there is a varied choice), with the current owners and have enjoyed everything. The food is always served quickly and hot. My favourite is the home made chicken curry...absolutely delicious. Once I'd tried it, I've never ordered anything different.”
