Pen & Wig

My little boy and I popped in today on the off chance of a dinner and sooo glad we did!!! Those roasties were lush..well, the whole dinner was..couldn't leave in fact, so they even give us a take out box for later.. and the dog if he's lucky!!!
Always lovely staff,great value for money never disappoint 2 dinners 2 drinks just over£20..can't go wrong

We had to wait over an hour for 2 fish and chips and it was crenated when it came. My husband ordered scampi after and came exactly the same.

Pleasant town centre pub with good food and a range of real and keg beers. The kitchen is open so you can see the chef at work. Great chips and serves an all day breakfast. Cosmopolitan vibe indoors and a large outdoor seating area with TV. Parking close by (NCP) right behind in the evening. Really can't fault it when in Newport.

Recently booked the function room for my wife's 60th birthday. Wonderful evening enjoyed by everyone. Great food from the kitchen also. Thanks to everyone involved at The Pen & Wig 🙏

I made an account literally to just give this review, best pub in Newport, halloumi fries and next level and the Moretti knocks off your bezel. Roast on a Sunday could go down as cooking heritage, healthy serving for a decent price, ohhhh so nice!

A friend of mine recently had a going away party in the Pen and Wig. The party was in the large upstairs room. There is a good size dance floor surrounded by plenty of seating. There is also an upstairs bar so everything is in one location. I haven’t been here before (sorry!) but I’d have no hesitation in coming back. Staff are friendly and quick behind the bar so would definitely recommend.

Nice little pub to have a roast. Staff are friendly (I always say this, but they were friendly) reasonable prices and a good selection of drinks. Will visit here again when I get a chance.

I've been here now for the 3rd time, gorging myself on the "Newport Destroyer". It just is a spectacular Burger!! Basically the only burger I know off, claiming to be spicy and actually being really spicy.... Besides being spicy, It really is delicious!! Spectacular!
And this means even more since I am a German actually advertising English food!! ;-).
Just kidding, or am I?, 😁

Keep it up & regards to the chef!

There's only one little downturn: For me a burger is ment to be fingerfood. Means "grab it & take a bite". Sadly burger these days are getting taller and taller. And it's just impossible to "grab & bite" without creating a mess, even when using the provided "tools"!
Why not make the burger wider in diameter instead of growing in height?

Nevertheless, one of the best burger I ever had!
