Harden's says
Now refurbished with a striking new look, Benito Martinez's 100-cover restaurant (part of a building dating from 1180) now includes a state-of-the-art kitchen features, a 60-cover bar, and plans for a cheese and wine tasting room. The updated a la carte menu offers Mediterranean flavors cooked over fire.
Harden's survey result
Summary
With origins back to 1180, this “medieval building-turned-small hotel” provides an atmospheric spot for a meal. Too few reports for a full rating, but a Bristol-based fan says it’s worth knowing about for its Hispanic inflected cuisine, including tapas in the bar and on the terrace in summer. “The dining room is a beautiful space and the food does it justice. Our meal was significantly more fun than dragging unwilling family members around the nearby Roman remains afterward, though perhaps equally aesthetically appealing!”
For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

The Priory Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Characterful, recently refurbished former school on the site of a medieval Priory within the ancient Roman settlement of Caerleon. Sunday lunch notable for what may be the best roast beef I have ever been served. Welsh sirloin aged in their own dry cabinet, served medium rare as it should be. Wonderful. The treacle tart with candied pecans that followed was also damn fine. A real treat to discover in this part of Wales!"
