Black Pepper corns

You're after something proper on a Friday night—none of that chain nonsense. Black Pepper corns is the kind of place locals actually queue for, tucked away on Whitepit Lane in Newport. The 4.8 rating isn't there by accident; these folks know what they're doing with spices and they're not messing about. The menu does all the classics right, but the real magic is in how they've built this fierce reputation with people who know the difference between lazy cooking and the real thing.
