| A week away (Friday night). Nominally a Brains house with a reasonable selection of guests so went for Glamorgan Jemima's Pitchfork, which was ok. Food was pretty good but the service was a little slow given the pub was fairly quiet, timed to arrive just as you finished a drink so had to get another one! Given Newport's alleged reputation probably one of the safest pubs, didn't see anyone under 45 in the place! ellisref - 10 Jun 2018 09:15 |
| The Pen and Wig is just a short stroll from Newport train station. It was in the 2013 Good Beer Guide and with their 5 varied ales on this is a decent beer drinkers heaven. The choice of ales were St Austall Tribute, Bass, Pontypridd's 04 Colombo, The Kite Brewery Cwrw Gorslas and Tiny Rebel's Cwtch Welsh red ale. I opted for the Cwrw Gorslas, very good, nicely kept. Most locals standing or sitting at the bar with a good level of banter. Nice to hear some Welsh accents after spending the day previous in North Wales where everyone was either from Liverpool or Manchester! I was scrumping for beer mats and the landlord kindly went and retrieved some for me. All in all a really quality pub, that should be on any beer drinkers radar when in Newport. lezford - 23 Apr 2014 13:45 |
