Wheatsheaf Hotel

Great old pub in the heart of town. Great atmosphere and very traditional. Accommodation upstairs is cosy and clean. Rooms are heated well. The breakfasts are delicious! Very lovely family run pub with very friendly and accommodating staff. Our stay was fun. The pub was buzzing with people.

Popped in for hot meal prior to ferry crossing.. excellent food , friendly cosy pub and excellent bar staff. Would recommend. Prompt food service and a good variety of dishes pub clean good location and help staff . Good local facility.do use it

Went for a first-time lunch visit since The Wheatsheaf had re-opened and was disappointed. Lovely lady behind the bar but it took ages for anyone to see me waiting to order. When a guy came over his demeanour was not of someone who was happy to serve. I believe he greeted me with ‘Yes?’ I should have answered ‘No’ and walked out but my companion was very hungry so I placed our order (simple pub food, what we were looking for)and waited. And waited. And waited. For nearly 40 minutes. It was like the Marie Celeste, I had to hunt for someone (Mr I Don’t Want To Be Here) to see if we had much longer to wait. There was only one other table of 4 people being served, so it was hardly busy. The food arrived and was adequate rather than really enjoyable. I went to pay but when given the bill had to point out that our drinks hadn’t been charged for (I might be having a moan but I am honest - there was no appreciation for my honesty or saving his neck!) Not tipping never sits right with me but I felt completely comfortable about not tipping Mr I Don’t Want To Be Here - a smile would have done it. Sadly, we won’t be going back or recommending. I say ‘sadly’ as it’s a lovely ancient pub and has always been so much part of the history of Newport. It just seems a slightly scruffy old boozer now ☹️
