No longer a Wetherspoons.

Like the set of Jeremy Kyle only with poor beer. Although for Newport it is good.
|
Bland, light-wood pub in characterless McDonalds style. Still, nice to sit in the beer garden and imagine you are in a proper pub.
|
Staff problems nave been addressed sincemy last visit.Service was efficient and staff were well aware whose turn it was,Good selection of guest ales as well as the 99p staple.
|
Still seem to be problems with service.manager please note .Called in today for a festival pint at 1.30 and was told to stand at the end of a long queue.,which did not appear to be moving.was not prepared to wait ages for just one drink at this time of day,so headed back to Cardiff wher JDW outlets are properly staffed.
|
This is not the name of the pub. It is the Tom Toya Lewis, named after a local boy who did heroic things during a disaster during the construction of the huge sea lock at the Alexandra Docks.

Welcome to Wetherspoons. 15 punters waiting-2 barmen serving,one good (Matthew?), other a lazy grouchy cnut. Lass serving tables and tidying,place reasonably busy. Loads of ding-ding cuisine being ordered(bloke in front of me paid a bill of 79quid!). Higher grade fools ordering coffee at 8pm-DO FECKIN STARBUCKS SELL ALE? 10 handpulls,2 with Abbot on,1 each of SA-Pedigree-Evan Evans-Orkney Northern Light-Exmoor Gold-Inveralmond Inky Pinky,then Harvestoon Game Burd and Bath Gem "coming soon". Orkney was good in fairness. Would have been a total shambles without aforementioned decent barman,floor woman commandeered him to bring food out and he helped without visible protest.

Called in for a couple of beers and a meal, and had no real problem with the beer, but was not over impressed with the food.
|
Beer (Wye Valley) was pretty good, and this is a typical fairly newish Spoons - bit rushed on New Years Eve (busiest place in Newport by a distance).
|
Beer like vinegar. Wrote to JD Wetherspoon to moan and they hastily replied to say they would sort it.
10/10 customer service( changed my beer with a smile )TWICE.
0/10 for the beer. I left 1/2 a pint.
|
It's crap,another typical clinical pub,basically they want to get you served and for you do sod off as soon as possible,the beer is crap,no atmosphere and the food id diabolical
