Love that this place is the oldest pub in Newport, you can really feel the history. The real ales are spot on, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It&#39;s a proper, unchanged local gem.

The Sunday carvery was a lovely surprise before our walk. The roast was spot on, and that sticky toffee pudding... just the right amount of warmth and sweetness. A cosy, quiet corner made it feel like a proper little treat.

Lovely little Danish bakery in Cardiff. The cafe garden out back is a real gem, so peaceful with the ivy on the walls. Perfect for a quiet coffee and a cinnamon swirl.

Coffee was top. Staff were really on it - heard the hot chocolates were for the kids and made them just the right temp. My two reckon they&#39;re the best they&#39;ve ever had. 👍

Nice relaxed pub vibe, great for catching up with friends over a few pints. The bar staff were really chill.

Breakfast was a nice surprise, good value.

The afternoon tea is a solid deal. The scones were warm and crumbly, served with proper clotted cream. The selection of finger sandwiches was fresh, though the cakes were a touch too sweet for my taste. Good portion for the price.

Decent pub food with generous portions. The steak and kidney pudding was a highlight, really quite good. The rest was fine, classic stuff. A solid choice for a straightforward meal.

Sunday lunch here, the lamb and beef were spot on. Tender, good flavour, proper gravy. Portions are decent. It&#39;s a solid choice for a weekend roast.

Stumbled upon this spot in Minehead. Their baguettes are so tasty, and honestly the cheapest I&#39;ve found around.

The smashed patty with the crispy edge was spot on. For the price, I&#39;d expect a bit more than just the burger though.

Really buzzing spot, packed with locals which I love. The staff were so friendly, made us feel right at home. Perfect for a casual catch-up with friends. Just a bit loud for deep chats, but the energy was great.
