The owner of this small cafe/deli is one of the many people running the operations behind the display counter. As you walk in the shop, you first see a little shop that sells cards and trinkets. In the far end is the display case and counter where you can order food. The other half of the restaurant is the dining area, where the food is brought to your table. The decor of this place is wonderful - quaint country cottage style theme with bright colours, simple wooden furnishing, while maintaining minimalism. Great place for a bunch of girls to meet for brunch (as was most of the clientele when we arrived for brunch before we headed out to go castle hunting for the day. The food selections are limited to sandwiches and salads as it is a cafe but they do a great job with the menu. We had: - two capuccinos - one chorizo and chicken wrap: tasted mexican and was recommended by the owner - one breakfast toastie: came with a delicious salsa The total was about 13 quid and the atmosphere makes you not want to leave. Also they have free wifi. They close at 5pm so it's not a place to have dinner. If I lived in Newport, I'd definitely be here all the time.

Now when you first enter there is obviously the wow factor and everything looks nice. But I think…read morethe biggest letdown is the Price, I stayed in one of the lodges,(lodge 6 to be exact) and it was over about £1,300 A NIGHT which is outrageous but I mean it is considered a 5 star resort however in the actual lodge it wasn't the best.:very small garden,dead flies on the bed,shower door was broken and filthy and even the power plug Exploded! However room service did come and help us replace it. But if it was a 5 star resort! Then it shouldn't have been broken in the first place! In the lodge and all around the hotel there are shuttles you can order (free of charge) to take you anywhere and I guess that is nice. Because it cost so much a night it won't really be possible to stay a long time which leads to the next problem. Because of all the other people staying there it is really difficult to get into activities because you have to book them a day in advance and the app is quite faulty and buggy to even get a chance to book it and because you can barely stay there long. I came into here expecting to experience the 5 star experience and that I would try do do every activity but the sheer lack of time that you stay there it is incredibly difficult to do 4 activities out of the tens of ones it has to offer! In the evenings you can go for a fancy meal but some of them are outrageously expensive! I came here on a family reunion and for our evening meal we went to a buffet called The Olive Tree. In the buffet section you have a wide variety of foods and if you want chips I would recommend you don't have them unless you want your mouth to be filled with potato that is basically uncooked! They were flopping about and so delicate they were all squished and broken in the actual tub. So as a conclusion I think I have enjoyed staying here but the other factors have brought it down it wasn't as unexpected for a 5 star resort.

So I arrived mega early for my passport appointment (I saved money doing so, so didn't mind that…read moremuch) After a 3 hour coach journey I was feeling the urge for a breakfast coming on! So I pulled up my fav app..you guessed right yelp of course! ;) in search of a near by cafe. The pot was the first one that showed on the search and with a decent review next to it's name and only being 100 metres away from my location it was the winner (after all who wants to walk miles for breakfast!) The cafe is located in a western arcade type row of shops which was nice, as the pervious review stated it isn't your every day greasy spoon cafe but at the same time it still has that homely none chain cafe feel which was a welcome surprise. The lady behind the counter told me to grab a table and she would be over to take my order. I went with "the big one" which was everything on the breakfast menu pretty much and I did remember not to say "full English" as I was in Wales after all haha. The cafe was pretty full and everyone seemed like locals to the cafe because the staff were chatting away happily with 90% of the people that were eating in. The food was lovely and arrived on my table really quick but you could tell nothing was rushed, if I had to pick a fault and this is only me being really picky it's the bread they served with the breakfast I always go for thick bread but this was medium (told ya I was being picky). But that takes nothing away from it being a really lovely local cafe with lovely staff if your ever in Newport and need breakfast make sure you drop in. I will be going again if I'm ever in Newport or passing through :)

Very busy which makes for nice ambience even if it means you're ravenous by the time your bacon and eggs arrive (at least that means everything's cooked fresh to order.) I ordered a big breakfast which included a big mug of tea/fresh coffee for £5.50, after waiting 30 minutes for it to arrive (it was busy) the toast was perfect, nice thick white slices and not overdone, the fried eggs were also lovely and the portion of bacon, egg, black pudding, sausages, beans and tomato was enough to fill me up until the evening (and I'm a 21 year old 6' male). OK, so they can do a good fry up and a nice cup of tea, so should any half decent cafe, however they also had plenty of wholesome, home cooked dishes on the menu like steak pie and the desserts, including bread and butter pudding, were only £2; unfortunately their big breakfast had defeated me. In short: a relic and a gem.

From the outside of The Cottage to its interior, I was expecting so much more…read more But maybe that's not fair. For one thing, I stopped here for a late breakfast, but upon seeing the Traditional English breakfast of the people sitting next to me, I had lunch instead. The Traditional Breakfast, truly is that, fried eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans from a can, pre-fab formed hashbrown patties, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms and toast with butter. This dish included black pudding, yet another protein, something which I tried elsewhere. The meal seemed to be very similar to what was served throughout Wales and the areas of England I had gone to while in there. It's not the type of food I'm used to, and for this experience I may have been feeling a bit battle weary in my almost two-week search for something much healthier. But even the safe meal I opted for was so-so. A tuna sandwich. The bread was soggy. This place calls itself a tea room, first, then a restaurant. And that may be where this place excels. But I don't know, because I didn't come here for afternoon tea. I did have a pot of traditional tea with cream on the side. It was as good as every other place I went to. I have a feeling this place has pretty good desserts to go with the tea they serve. But it's for someone else to discover and write about. The restaurant food here is very typical of traditional English food. If you're into that, go for it. If not, move on, and quickly.

It's hard to pinpoint it's importance, or at least the importance I attribute to it... I guess it must be a sum of all its parts rather than one thing in particular... or something like that? Put it this way, if it ceased to be there, the place just wouldn't be the same... there would be something missing, something small, but nevertheless significant. Is it the true blue support that the café invests in Bristol City, with memorabilia adorning the walls? Or is it that it harkens back to yesteryear, when things were simpler, and just that little bit more 'cosy'? Or is it that Sue's Breakfast Bar is practically the only eatery left on the street that seems to celebrate the morning as it begins, instead of something that happens at the drunken tail-end of a night out? Or is it the simple comfort food made with care that warms the cockles of my heart? And the prices? The prices that also seem to have weathered the vicissitudes of time? Yes, it's a combination of all of these things. That and the chicken and stuffing dinner for £4.00 followed by cherry pie and custard.

From the first day I introduced my friends to this place the staff have made my friends feel very welcome and now they're obsessed with coming here! It always feels great to be the one to introduce a place your friends end up loving. They're also great with recommending drinks. ~ Drinks: I haven't eaten here since my first breakfast, but the drinks are delicious. I especially enjoy the "Spiced Apple Pie" - incredibly yummy. I normally don't go for alcoholic drinks (don't really like the taste) but the ones at Drago Lounge are terrific. --- I gave 3 stars for the food last time but if you don't treat this as a "restaurant" as such, I'm sure that you'll love this place. It's a great place to hang out with an awesome atmosphere. Fantastic spot in Friars Walk!

3.5 stars, but I'm happy to bump it up to 4…read more I came here for a Christmas lunch get together with some friends and overall had a really enjoyable time. The only real negative is that I feel that everything was just outrageously overpriced, which took a lot away from the afternoon. I'll go into more detail... Atmosphere: The Green is a lovely refurbished pub, that is no longer a pub but a restaurant with a fancy wine list and coffee. It's not a very large restaurant - it's the size of maybe more of a small cafe than anything. The ceiling is pretty low, and the entire ambiance of the place has a very cozy feeling to it. Might get a bit cramped, but it certainly doesn't lack charm! Customer Service: They were lovely, but maybe just a tad bit disorganised and hectic. You order at the counter after noting your table number. When I got up to the counter, the woman was spending 5 minutes trying to get herself organised while I stood their looking a bit daft and aimless. A friend of mine ordered a cup of tea and never received it. Like I said, they were sweethearts but maybe just a tad bit disorganised. Food: I had a Turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sandwich roll which is a seasonal special (for Christmas-time). It came with a side of slaw and salad leaves and it was very lovely! Really messy to eat and got my hands sticky for such a posh establishment, but tasty nonetheless. I also organised a side of sweet potato chips and blackcurrant cheesecake for dessert. The chips were maybe a tad bit over-salted, but they had a great texture to them. I also thoroughly enjoyed my dessert! All this, and a diet coke, set me back £10 which to be honest, I feel is a little bit overpriced. Although everything was lovely, the portions (bar the cheesecake) were really tiny and I left feeling still a tad bit hungry and unsatisfied. --- Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back to The Green. Nice atmosphere, great people, and great food. However, the price tag that goes along with it can't really justify a regular visit.

One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Served with a choice of either fries or chunky wedges (think roast potato wedges and you'll get the idea). The cafe makes its own hot sauces and strawberry jams, all of which you should try if you get a chance as they're all scrumptious. You can even buy jars of the sauces to take home. Service is warm & friendly and you're made to feel incredibly welcome the second you walk in the door to the moment you leave. If you're on the lookout for something a bit more genuine and satisfying than what the nearby commercial chains can offer this is the place!
