The Pheasant Inn, Newport

The Pheasant is a Craft Union pub that was reasonably busy during a recent Wednesday evening visit. The pub has an old feel with sloped ceilings with large wooden beams that have been painted, however there is some exposed brickwork. Televisions for showing live football are located throughout and at the rear is a pool room. The bar counter along the right-hand wall supports standard and premium and I spotted two hand pumps, the 6X was off leaving St Austell’s Tribute as the cask option. To round off my evening I went for a pint of Stella that was politely served, and was cheap as chips coming in at £3.50.

Two side by side bars, to the left there's a four pull set up with Doombar, Harvest Pale, Everards Tiger and a blank, the other side is the same. Screens & pool at the back, inevitable grey paint job laminate floor on one side, new tile-like slabs next door. A bit of old exposed brick and ancient beamery suggest something has been lost here. A lot of built in bench seating so bit of a cheap makeover this time. Biggish garden out back and the usual friendly people found in Newport.
