The Hand Post Hotel Risca Road, Newport NP20 4HX

"Since the pub opened the upstairs which use to be to be the home of the landlords they now have a contract with whom I not sure of but they accomdate addicts and people who leave prision also people who are a danger to the public until there housed this has now changed the pub completely I don't feel comfortable there any more not only that the locals don't make you feel welcome so consequenty this is a massive red flag sad how things change also 1 start rated clearly sighed by the windows as you go in avoid this pub I wouldn't take my family herë"

"Phenomenal New Years party, superb food excellent quality and value for money, staff go above and beyond such a friendly family atmosphere we were made really welcome. Cannot praise the staff enough. Superbly run clean and good value for money what mote could you want"

"We were looking for a bite to eat and a nice relaxing atmosphere to enjoy on a cold Saturday afternoon and we weren’t disappointed. We both had the double cheese and bacon burger and shared a cheesy garlic bread. The burgers were fresh and were definitely not from frozen, the bacon was the same. The chips were fantastic and fried fresh. A lovely pint of Guinness too, all at a very reasonable £34 for both us including a drink. Would highly recommend to anyone!"

"Fantastic place for a drink with lots of amenities and fast food places near by. Small car park. Excellent selection of alcohol. Clean venue and friendly staff. Quiz is on every Thursday though in my opinion it is catered for the over 40/50s, still really good fun. It has recently been renovated so it looks even better than it did before. Definitely recommend."

"I didn't stay there ,but dined in once & had tea & soft drinks twice . The staff were friendly ,but poor selections of vegan/ vegetarian foods .The vegan curry w/ fake meat was very nice ,but no veggies in it at all !! So,it was lacking of nutritious ! If they added carrots / peas in it the least ,it would had been excellent !! I had a waffle there ,too & it was delicious. The toilet was clean . I went there as my childhood friend( my 1st boyfriend & his dad )used to stay there sometimes ,I was hoping to get some information on his dad ,but I didn't get much of help. The owners changed . I was told. But ,since my late soulmate became a celebrity & a local hero ,I thought some of them would know !The bar & outdoor seating area ( tables/ benches ) looked busy & locals / regulars were having good times there !! Be aware of no food servings on Sundays !! But,you can bring your own food & eat it there as long as you order/ buy a drink there ! I really liked the decorations & window side tables ( booth ) !There are 3 bus stops right by this Inn / pub so that I'm sure many tourists / people find it very convenient as I did ! You have to raise your hand or wave at bus drivers ,otherwise they won't stop ( only a couple did ,but the most didn't )!! A very good place to stop by on your way to ,or way back from St.Woolos cemetery. Which is a gorgeous cemetery, btw.!!"
