New businesses in Newport city centre so far in 2025
The Television and Movie Store has something for everyone (Image: NQ) Television and Movie Store – this franchise has opened its doors in Friars Walk, after the unit had stood empty for most of this year. Now, it filled with merchandise from any franchise you could wish for, allowing the self-professed geeks to get lost in their shelves. Whether its trading card games or homeware you're after, the Television and Movie Store has something for everyone inside.
The Underground – this new entertainment venue opened in the Kingsway Centre, giving visitors an opportunity to let their anger out in their state-of-the-art rage room where you're handed a boiler suit and a baseball bat and told to 'go to town'. They also offer a range of other activities like airsoft in their custom-built arena, axe throwing and nerf battles.
The Underground allows visitors to release some rage (Image: NQ) Home Store – this 'temporary' solution to the gaping hole left by Debenham's closure in Newport is an 'everything' shop.

Moka E Farina offers up hearty Italian food with a smile (Image: NQ) Moka E Farina – Newport city centre's newest Italian restaurant opened earlier this summer.

Aziz's 20 years of experience as a chef means that his food is already becoming a favourite for their many returning customers.
Waterloo Inn – this iconic pub in Nash has re-opened its doors. Now operating as a micro-distillery, the inn has been fully restored with a welcoming bar and restaurant.

Ryan Reynolds' £7.5m target's dad drops huge hint on record Wrexham transfer going through
A Wrexham transfer target's dad appears to have hinted that a record £7.5m move is close with a cryptic post, sparking fan excitement as the club gears up for the Championship Nathan Broadhead's dad appears to have dropped a major hint that his son is about to complete a move to Wrexham in a club-record deal. The Red Dragons, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, were reported to have tabled a £7.5million bid for the Ipswich Town forward last week. Broadhead, who was previously part of Wrexham's academy, joined the Tractor Boys from Everton for £1.5m in January 2023. He played a key role in Ipswich 's back-to-back promotions from League One and the Championship, before being restricted to just seven Premier League starts last season. Now in the final year of his contract at Portman Road, talks over the Wales international's proposed move were initially understood to be progressing well. The deal looked to have stalled at the weekend though due to injuries and transfer interest in other Ipswich attackers. However, the 27-year-old's dad, Mark Broadhead, has offered hope to Wrexham fans after sharing a cryptic post from his personal Facebook account. Simply captioned "12 years later," it shows an image of a young Nathan playing for Everton in 2013, followed by one of him celebrating a goal for Ipswich last year. The final picture, titled "Now," shows Nathan sporting a Wrexham shirt while kneeling on the pitch at the Racecourse Ground back in his academy days. While the deal has not been confirmed by either club, supporters have taken it as a sign that his return is imminent after a screengrab of the post was shared on X by the Fearless in Devotion fan account. One person replied: "That's all the info we need." While someone else posted: "As good as an official announcement, that." Another supporter wrote: "Someone may have just let it slip also outside the ground too." Ipswich fans also seemed convinced, with one adding: "You've got yourselves one hell of a player. Good luck this season." Broadhead has bagged 23 goals in 83 appearances for Ipswich in total and his arrival at Wrexham would be seen as a big coup. The Welsh side are preparing for their first campaign in the second tier for 43 years after securing promotion from League One in April. Manager Phil Parkinson has so far signed eight players this summer as he looks to improve his squad. Sheffield United striker Kieffer Moore became the latest addition on Tuesday, joining on a three-year contract in a deal reportedly worth £2m. Wrexham face a tough start to the season as they travel to face relegated Southampton on Saturday in their opening game. Liberato Cacace is another new face who signed up last month from Italian outfit Empoli, and the left-back is looking forward to getting started. Explaining why he signed, he told the BBC: "There was interest in Italy, but for me, I'm a big football fan as well. I watch a lot of football and I've always watched English football, from the Premier League to the Championship so I know the level I'm heading into. "It was always a big dream of mine to play in the UK. Obviously Wrexham having so much publicity in the media as well you could see what the club was like. It's a very exciting project and I'm also very excited to start the season as well." He added: "I've already had chats with the players and with the manager and I think I'm settling in pretty well. I'm a professional person as well so I always like to keep fit. I'm going to use every day to make sure that against Southampton I'll be ready to go."

This chain restaurant made me love mushy peas: William Sitwell reviews Rockfish, Salcombe
Charged with the crime of choosing to review independent restaurants over chains, I'd have to plead 'Guilty, m'lud' to avoid the cost of a full trial. To further aid my chances of a reduced sentence, I hereby salute the likes of San Carlo (a fabulous and reliable, smartly served Italian experience dished out in cities across the nation) and Wahaca (Thomasina Miers' gloriously authentic, bright and brilliant Mexican offering), and am willing to go one step further – by paying a visit to Rockfish. There are now 11 of these gaffs in coastal towns across the south-west as well as an online shop and a fishing boat, all captained by Rockfish founder Mitch Tonks, a man expert in all things fishy. The latest branch is in Salcombe, a town that is reassuringly expensive/a shocking rip-off (delete as appropriate) on the south Devon coast, with golden sandy beaches, an estuary stuffed with smart boats and streets filled with chic shops and nice pubs. Heading to the north side of town afforded me a lovely walk round the harbour on a summer's evening with a blissful vision of folk sipping and reading on the balconies of their holiday rentals and others jumping into the harbour to cool off. Rockfish Salcombe is a frightful shed of a place, topped by a bleak corrugated roof, but its interior is at least softened by wooden beams and the decorative fish tiling of the open kitchen. It was joyfully rammed (I wonder how it'll fare on a wet Tuesday in November) and the menu offers a vast array of classics such as fish and chips (obviously) and a global flurry of tacos, fritto misto and chicken Milanese, with acres of sides and market fish. The latter is listed on the paper tablecloth and our server circled and priced what was on offer, a clever, quirky touch. Simmo, whose appetite is legendary, helped me mount a considerable assault on your behalf. And having quickly destroyed a very average bottle of chardonnay (we later found solace in an albariño), we battled over anchovies; I reckoned my Cantabrian salted ones were better (more melting) than his pickled local fillets. We then revelled in soft and juicy scallops hiding under breadcrumbs and a heave of garlic butter. Next were whitebait, a dish summarily destroyed in so many 1980s wine bars, but here reclaimed as an offering of crisp, not-so-tiny fish, just with a less than piquant aioli. We delved further into the menu with tender calamari fried in batter, teamed with a somewhat powerless dip (apparently Singapore chilli sauce), before the main events. My eyes lit up at the idea of ray wing, not least because the fish sounds like a 1970s comedian (sensationally of his time, subsequently destroyed by #MeToo revisionism). I also love this kind of flat fish because of its lines of flesh that you scrape off the bone. And in Tonks' care (or at least that of his executive chef, Kirk Gosden), it was rich and soft, coated in butter and seasoned with capers. Simmo lapped up his Dover sole (more justice served to this king of fish), and we enjoyed it all with chips (unlimited, fried to order) and new potatoes. And something else – something I've spent a lifetime avoiding. I'm talking mushy peas, although worse – curried mushy peas. Three words striking horror into my bones. 'How could you?' I wept, as Simmo ordered them. Then he made me taste them and it was truly a Green Eggs and Ham moment. What I thought would be a ruinous example of dire, nostalgic British food culture was in fact a revelation: the peas, less green and soggy cardboard, more soft and rich legume; the curry more infused garam masala than cheap sauce. The whole thing was like a glorious English tribute to Indian dal. A disappointing crème brûlée (chilled, not room temperature, under the torched topping) wasn't bad enough to knock my spirits. To Salcombe, to a chain restaurant, for curried mushy peas. Yes, really. And you can quote me on that.
