The Carpenters Arms - JW Bassett Pub

You'll find The Carpenters Arms doing what it does best right there on Newport's High Street—being the kind of pub where regulars have their spots and newcomers feel welcome anyway. It's the sort of place that doesn't need to shout about itself; the fact that over 300 people have bothered to review it speaks volumes. Walk in and you're getting honest pub territory: decent pints, the sort of atmosphere where you can actually hear your mate across the table, and staff who know what they're doing. JW Bassett runs a tight ship across their pubs, and this one's clearly hitting the mark with the locals.
