Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

2nd time we’ve had sunday lunch here. booked and asked for a specific table in the non dog area which was ready when we arrived. so nice that there is an area free from dogs. fast friendly service from the young waitress. fabulous soft moist...pork sunday lunch, really generous portions extra gravy on the side. well cooked mix of vegetables. we asked for a yorkshire pudding each which was a mistake. although they were nice the cost was an additional £1 each which we felt was excessive in an otherwise good value for money sunday lunch. won’t be asking again!! the view from the cafe which is part of the golf club is really spectacular. drinks selection is ok and we weren’t rushed off the table even though we didn’t have dessert. very enjoyable sunday lunch, keep it up cat rock.More

First visit for lunch with a girlfriend on a very dramatic weather day. The cafe is inside the golf club, it’s roomy, dog friendly both inside and out, relaxed and set up to provide glorious views over Newport bay. We ate off the specials menu...and whilst I was underwhelmed when my Feta salad arrived, it did actually taste lovely. Chips were hot which is always a good test! Lots of staff on point but as the cafe got busier things slowed down and became muddled and we had to chase for coffees and cake. However. staff were attentive and did engage and apologise for small oversights. By the time we left the place was full of walkers, dog walkers etc. Good to see on a rainy Monday lunchtime. Will definitely be back, with the dog and most likely on a sunnier day.More

Headed to the cafe at 1330 on a Thursday first simply breathtaking views overlooking Newport bay. Plenty of parking. Very friendly staff, we arrived in 3 groups over 20 mins and the staff patiently waited until we all ready, drinks arrived quickly. The food. I...ordered the duck and if I’d have known how it was to be served I’d have probably chosen the burger. But I’m so glad I ordered it I tried it and it was delicious it worked so well and was amazing. I will definitely order again if we go again. For desert we had cakes and they were all displayed, actually had no clue what 2 of the cakes were, but the staff were quick to pop over and explain which was which, yet again really yummy and massive portions. A really great lunch.More

Service always good. Enjoyed the Duck dirty fries. Went back on Sunday, when menu was mainly Sunday roast. We had tuna crunch roll and chips. Very disappointed this time. Hardly any filling, smallish roll. At £10 expensive. We will always use as still great views...and service.More

Use the cafe when ever staying nearby. Service very friendly and helpful. Menu good for snacks and lunch. We had tasty sandwiches, but maybe they could offer a choice of salad instead of chips as a side. Don't always want double carbs.

A great breakfast, really well cooked full Welsh. Tasty local sausages and bacon along with all the other ingredients. Really good local Teifi coffee. The service was friendly and professional and the tweaks to our orders were perfectly executed 👍.

Called in for a Sunday roast after a very windy and cold walk on the beach. The service was outstanding, personable and professional and the food was just amazing. One of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be...back.More

Nice little gem. Spot of "light lunch" before we headed down to the beach. We ordered the Cat Dirty Fries and the Fish and Chip sandwich with curry sauce. We both struggled to finish both meals. So filling and so tasty. We were left feeling...full and very satisfied. Hence why we left with clean plates. And we absolutely loved the view whilst we ate. This place has gotten it right. Scenic views to follow with great food. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful.More

Visited Cat Rock Cafe for breakfast as part of our overnight stay at the golf course. menu options were good, service was great (fast, friendly and efficient), food quality was freshly prepared and tasty. If we were back in the area, would be great to...come for another meal, with views out across the golf course down to the water a great way to enjoy a meal. Based on our experience, we would return and can recommend.More

Lovely surroundings. However, beware. We called in for a quick cuppa after a walk on the beach. The service was absolutely dreadful. Ordered a tea and coffee and waited over half an hour for them to be delivered to our table. No apology just excuses!...Won’t be returning.More

Sunday morning, breakfast rolls & coffee. Such a beautiful location overlooking Newport Sands with Dinas Head in the background. Delicious bacon & the rolls too. I really like their coffee, not bitter. Staff so friendly & helpful. Definitely recommend this cafe.
