"We had been hunting around for a alternative location for a superb cream tea after reading that Chessel Pottery has gone very much downhill and no longer makes the cream teas it was famous for. Lady Scarlett’s has an incredible record of top scores, which we’re now extremely suspicious of. We phoned ahead to check for availability and although the person on the phone wasn’t rude, they made us feel we’d possibly made a bad choice with their attitude on the phone. You can’t judge a book by its cover, but when we arrived at the place, we wondered if it was really the right place. Sadly it was. Not very inviting and seemed a bit too rough around the edges, despite the ‘World War period’ theme. When we entered, a grumpy man (possibly the owner) was there observing people coming in, although very few people were coming in (a big sign of bad things). When we mentioned issues parking, he told us that there’s lots of parking in Newport. This location is nowhere near that, so we assume we were being told to go elsewhere if we didn’t like it! Lovely! The place was empty whilst others were full, so there’s a hint! We left without ordering anything. An unpleasant experience."

"the most delicious ice of the world, in aromen, the willy wonka give a round for its money. and service that is so honest and warm that they feel that they visit a generous gourmet friend, and not a business. I lost the number of how many times she over and beyond for us only a family who visit the island for a few weeks in the year. special flavors whistled to make our child happy; special container lent so my mother could bring a surprise package to gloucestershire; even secret Christmas ice cream cake orders until then magically made so small children think that santa has exemplary taste in ice. they are amazing. and I see that the warmth and ease extend to all their customers, every time we visit. that is a really very special place. my only regret is waiting so long to leave five stars, I thought I had checked you before!"

"I absolutely loved this restaurant! It offers authentic Italian cuisine and a wonderful atmosphere. The food was amazing—we enjoyed a charcuterie board, pasta, and fish! The owner was incredibly friendly as well. There are plenty of options available for those with gluten allergies, making it a great choice for celiacs. Service was excellent, and we dined in for dinner. The price per person was around £20–30. Highly recommend!"

"I booked this restaurant for 3 people however there was another table of 6 people in there that was part of our group so 9 all together. We overall enjoyed our meals with an exception of 3 who ordered sweet and sour chicken. It wasn't explained to them that the meal they ordered only came with a dipping sauce. All 3 thought the sauce was blend. When we came to pay my friend asked why there was no veg (onions, pepper etc) in the sauce to be told oh you should of ordered Cantonese style sweet and sour. I'd like to offer some advice to the restaurant. Take a minute and explain that the guest may have ordered the wrong item from the menu. It would definitely ensure the guest got the correct item and therefore ensuring returning guests. One final comment. If asked would you like everything to come out together that means you will get your starter and mains together so make sure you say no thank you we'll have our starters first. Long post but i hope this helps guest and restaurant"
