The Garden Kitchen by Pugh's

Head out to Rogerstone and you'll find yourself in what feels like proper countryside, despite being minutes from Newport town centre. The Garden Kitchen isn't trying to be clever—it's doing the fundamentals brilliantly. You're eating food that tastes like it's been cooked by someone who actually cares, in a setting that's relaxed enough for a casual lunch but polished enough that you won't feel out of place bringing someone special. It's the kind of place locals keep coming back to because the food's consistent and the welcome's genuine.
