I took my family to The Tickled Trout for lunch on Sunday, after reading good reviews. It was not a good day to visit. At 12:30pm when we arrived we were the only customers in the restaurant, and when we left after our meal only 2 more people were there. We don't live in the Newport area, and on a rainy Sunday the streets were deserted. However, after we finished our meal, we went next door to see what the new Market Street food conversion looked like we were amazed to find it completely packed out across the whole ground floor area, which is very large.
So, Sunday does not appear to be a popular day to visit The Tickled Trout, and I think that I know why. Some of the items on the menu were not available, and also some drinks, including coke. Either they had had a very busy Saturday night, and not had time to re-stock, or they are just not well organised, but either way, it was very disappointing.
As far as the food is concerned, it was pretty average, but was served quickly, but that may indicate that it was just heated up rather than freshly cooked. I would guess that it was the latter from the taste and quality.
Overall, the manager was very friendly, the service was quite good, but the food and ambience were not up to expectations. Having said that, I'm 71, and have a lot of restaurant experience, so maybe young people would have had a different view.
