Local record

History of this pub

The Coldra stood at the Coldra roundabout by junction 24 of the M4, on Chepstow Road at Langstone on the eastern edge of Newport, with an 81-room Premier Inn next door and the Celtic Manor Resort close by. CAMRA's Gwent branch described a large, food-led pub-restaurant pouring Brains SA and Brains 1882, with a patio overlooked by the motorway on one side and a large electricity pylon on the other. In 2026 the two-storey brick building was put up for sale freehold.
