| I used to go to this pub 25 years ago, evey lunch time for the best ploughmans, cheese and ham doorsteps you have every had and a pint or 4 of HSB ( nectar of the gods). I have since lived in New Zealand and Australia for 20 years and visited the Newport last year on vaction and it was EXACTLY the same. The best HSB anywhere, the best ham and cheese anywhere. The most amazing furniture ( bits of old busses, sprnigs pocking out etc) you have ever seen. Don't expect mixers to be chilled, or the till to be plugged in to power! If i could franchise this place in Western Australia I would be a billionaire . . . if you are within 100 miles go out of you way to visit, just hold your nose for a minute or two on entering. Order a pint of HSB or Ordinary if you're driving and a cheese and ham ploughmans - you will not regret it. pchesters - 21 Dec 2009 13:08 |
| Visited two weeks ago on a Sunday lunchtime - one of the most amazing pubs I have ever been into - and I have visited quite a few. My mate described it as being like a film-set. A complete step back in time - yes the furniture is very tired but the original layout is priceless. Unfortunately my order of London Pride was on the turn but it was immediately replaced from the other tap / barrel when I asked. It wasn't very busy when we visited but I can imagine a great atmosphere when busy. A pub for fans of real classics - perhaps not somewhere to take a girl on a first date. Somewhere between a 7 and 8/10 - recommended! Old_King_Cole - 15 Sep 2009 19:14 |
| wolvesfan hits the nail on the head, if you want a pub with character, he is one. I have been to the Newport Inn a couple times now, and was relieved to see it was pretty much how we remembered it. Having told the kids about the place we would have hugely disappointed if it been developed into yet another poncey eatery that reluctantly serves beer. Having never been anywhere like it before or since, they were suitably impressed, and asked when we are going back. I haven't eaten there, but the beer was spot on on both occasions and they were more than happy to let us play darts on what was quite a busy night. I can't remember the last time is was asked if I wanted my pint in a 'straight' or 'handle' - make the most of it, I doubt it will be like that for many more years to come. stuart_p - 15 Sep 2009 10:02 |
| Maybe I'm in the minority here, but this pub is living history. Yes against todays 'plastic pubs' it's a bit tired ansd yes it could do with a clean and the windows probably need scraping down as well. But Janelt Cook (the Landlady) is a treasure and the pubs got character. No doubt the day Janet retires (I think she's been running the place since Charles the First was on the throne!!) Fullers will either sell it or develop it into some sort of smart, plastic eating house with some moron of a manager running it. Visit it while you can, there aren't many left like this one!!! wolvesfan - 24 Aug 2009 16:08 |
