This restaurant is certainly having trouble picking up after Covid. I know it is tough but you cannot go on like this. The staff are very good and friendly but I cannot see you lasting much longer. For one thing, the restaurant is too far out from Newport. Meal portions too small and it was also very cold in the restaurant. Hope you will see better times. Good luck.

The ambiance was good and the staff were friendly but our meals took rather a long time to arrive. We were generally happy with our food. I particularly liked the 'pie of the day' option.

This is a nice little restaurant/ pub with good parking and a nice ambience. We did have to wait quite a long time to be served but the food was pretty good... I would go again...

Have usedvthe dragonfly regularly for the past two year's and yesterday's meals were the worst we have ever had. The one meal had a hair in it and the beef rib meal was floating in grease. However the serving staff were exceptional and polite to us.

We have had Sunday dinner here before. Each meat is served with Yorkshire pudding, plenty of roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy. The roast potatoes are lovely - not deep fried as some are. The vegetables are nice and crispy, with plenty for each person - the carrots are roasted rather than boiled which makes a nice change. The cauliflower cheese wasn't as good as usual - it was more like cauliflower with melted cheese on it, rather than in a cheese sauce. The lunches are a bit more expensive than some other local pubs, but the meal is very tasty and of good quality, so we think it is worth paying a little extra for. The service was good, and we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Been using the dragonfly for a while have always been really pleased with the quality of the food and the restaurant as a whole. Yesterday the meal was very disapointing. I had tbe gammon which was offeted with a fried egg i requested to have the egg left off. The meal arrived with about 12 very greasy chips and a gammon steak. There was no salad or veg added look very poor on a large plate. Most of the chips were wasted. As we use this restaurant every couple of weeks we may have to rethink using this restaurant if the food quality continues to deteriorate.

We booked online and requested a table bear the toilets as one of our party is elderly. Don't bother with requests! The grumpy waiter didn't like us asking to change seats when he showed us to the table about as far away from the toilets as you can get. He told us online bookings are assigned tables automatically. Basically, if you put in a request, no one actually looks at it!! Service was also very slow. Not impressed

All good. Nice atmosphere and Nick our waiter was friendly and very helpful and was able to help with questions we had. The menu had a nice choice of mains and it's a good idea to have a coffee and small sweet combined. Never had a bad meal in the Dragonfly and would recommend the restaurant highly

The meal was lovely. I had booked deliberately as I had previously enjoyed the lamb main but that was not on the festive menu. The meal was good and the service excellent - thank you Jamie. Overall would certainly recommend. The COVID safety measures were implemented well.
