Greyhound Vaults in Monmouthshire

Used to be a lovely pub, but now it’s overpriced and no atmosphere, replaced good local drinks like Welsh lager with Italian peroni, removed the big screen so no live sport and can’t even sit at the bar. £5.50 for a lager is ridiculous this is Abergavenny not London

Just popped in for a drink as they were not serving food yet. Really friendly staff and a decent pint!

Another great find, great food, lovely staff and locals very friendly and big plus it's dog friendly

If you're looking for a nice pub, try the Greyhound Vaults. The menu is very good and the staff are pleasant.

The Greyhound Vaults is a great little pub with lovely staff and a fantastic Sunday roast

Staff are extremely accommodating and lovely all round. Pleasant lunch whilst in Abergavenny! Highly recommend as a pit stop.

Lovely staff, asked did food was available and wasn't for another hour but the chef said they couldn't turn us away and made us food anyways, real down to earth people and lovely to chat to. Also, great baps

Had Sunday lunch with my wife, lovely service from the staff and a very nice lunch, good honest pub food. The raspberry crumble was especialy nice.

Friendly and helpful staff. Very tasty Sunday roast.

Great food amazing service and really good prices a great evening had by all. Couldn't recommend this place any higher definitely check it out!!! 🙂

Lovely food great service food came out piping hot the staff really friendly Will be recommeing to all my family and friends go

Amazing homemade pub food and an incredibly friendly/helpful team.

Fantastic food. , great friendly service. Asked the chef to make a few adjustments for my meal which was no problem at all . Thank you all

Friendly & helpful staff lovely food

Lovely lunch, dog friendly but absolutely not “smelly” as some idiot reviewed. Looking forward to you serving food 7 nights a week from March 🙂

Wonderful meal today. Fantastic food. Great atmosphere and a lovely clean environment. We both had the best Hunters Chicken ever, cooked by Teresa. Lovely , friendly waitress/bar service by Jayed. If you haven't been to this pub, you should try it. We will be back. Penny and Jane.

The overwhelming smell of dog was enough to make us gag, there were 3 in the area when we arrived. We are dog friendly but this was a more than a few notches higher than anything we can endure. After checking with the website there was no food being served that evening. Decor and ambiance left a lot to be

Lovely family lunch, thank you.

Called in for a Sunday lunch a few weeks ago pretty poor standard of food. Cauliflower cheese was mainly black like it had gone off, should never have been served in the first place. sent it back, replacement was ok. Beef was like old shoe leather, vegetables under cooked. Won't be rushing back.

Quick lunch....my partners was good but mine was shocking....12 quid for cheap supermarket garlic bread, garnish and a mouse sized dried and cold lasagne. Rip off Britain catches me unaware again. Live in the town but not ate here in years ....wish I hadn't.

£12 for a microwave Lasagne that was drier than the garlic bread next to it. Poor service, didn't come and check on us, didnt offer sauces or drinks. Others were happy with their food but not good for me.

Haven’t been here in years.Called in for lunch on a Thursday and found was fabulous- I had Pheasant breast and wife had Beef and Stilton pie. Both cooked and prepared really well. Will definitely return!

Disappointed & won't return sadly. Sunday lunch, beef hard to chew & potatoes just like rubber, no roasted potatoes just boiled & had no taste.

Great little authentic pub close by to Abergavennys brilliant market. Called in for some liquid refreshment before heading home. Dog Friendly, nice beers, great atmosphere.

Amazing very hospitable friendly very good food, definitely worth a visit

Great home cooked food, great welcome, friendly staff, would visit again!

Had a very nice meal there, the lady made us feel very welcome the food and service was brilliant. Many thanks and see you soon

What a nice Pub. Excellent food. Good size portions, very reasonable prices. Such lovely staff. So friendly and helpful. Felt very relaxed here, and on way out spoke to a really nice couple. Wales you have it all.

Such a shame the new owners haven't maintained the standard of cookery we previously enjoyed. Soggy pie pastry with cold chicken. Burger in a cheap untoasted bun with no onion/pickle and all served on cold plates. The waitress was fabulous and must have been embarrassed to serve such bad meals. Add to that now 'dog friendly' so we ate to the musical ? accompany of at least 5 dogs. Been eating here for years...... not in the future though

Went for lunch with a friend whilst shopping.its was ok

Fabulous food ,wonderful service right in the centre of abergavenny

This was our first visit. It was excellent in all ways. An excellent seafood platter and a big gammon steak you couldn't want for more. The service was great as well.

Great food. Ham egg chips and salad. Nice terraced garden. Great staff and chef. Really glad 😊 I chose this place for meal out. Thankyou. Clean plates all round!...

Under recent new ownership. A really nice little pub. We stopped for food and it was very nice and reasonable. Staff were friendly and attentive. A very pleasant lunch. And it's dog friendly!

Small restaurant but the staff most welcoming tables were clean as were all areas, when you visit this place you MUST try the Lasagne it was simply delicious you have to wait about 20 minutes but the wait was well worth it.

We used to go to the Angel hotel, but so expensive now, we have swapped to this place. It is proper home cooking with freshly cooked veg. The ham, mash and parsley sauce really brought back memories of my Welsh childhood. Friendly staff. Home made puds. Lovely.

What a lovely place with great proper home cooked food. We were looking for somewhere to eat in Abergavenny that had a good menu and was dog friendly. Luckily there was a chalk board on the high street that showed the menu and pointed us in the right direction otherwise we wouldn't have found it. Really good traditional menu with lots of choice and the food excellent, good portions, piping hot and good value for money. Very friendly staff and atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

A great cup of coffee. Friendly staff

I've been coming here for over 35 years, and it always offer great food and a hospitable atmosphere. Thank you.

We came upon this gem as we were wandering around Abergavenny a few days ago. It was reassuringly nearly full - with mainly older generation clientele, who obviously know what’s good! A menu of proper, old-fashioned food (liver, chops, faggots etc) that trendy foodies would probably scoff at. But when they taste it they’ll scoff the lot! I had the local butcher’s faggots with mash, greens, mushy peas and gravy, washed down with a pint of perfectly conditioned 6X. It was heavenly! My wife had a cheese and (proper) ham omelette with chips and a glass of white wine. The lady that served us was absolutely delightful. And they had no problem with us bringing in our dog, Arthur, who was equally appreciative of the food! Can’t recommend it highly enough.

We visited Greyhound Vaults for lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We were greeted by a very pleasant and helpful server. I didn’t get her name but I will next time. I had the lambs liver, bacon and onions with vegetables (a good variety of vegetables in a serving dish) and my husband had faggots, mashed potatoes and mushy peas. We will definitely be paying another visit

Found this pub while looking for somewhere else gotta say so glad we decided to eat here amazing food lovely service & value for your money had main & dessert it was both delicious 😋 😀

Great food, lovely service, very friendly.

There were 4 of us and 3 of us had roast pork and 1 had ham egg and chips. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. It was very clean with hand sanitizer on every table. It was excellent value for money.

We noticed that the restaurant reopened here recently and decided to stop in for lunch. We had a tuna sandwich and the lasagna respectively. I really like how they give you a side salad along with your meal. Everything was great and we can’t wait to go back for a full meal.

Went to the Greyhound vault yesterday really lovely place with three of my friends excellent menu plenty of choices the food was to die for the staff were lovely l would recommend you book before you go as it’s a popular place

Traditional Country style pub restaurant in the heart of abergavenny. Tasty home-cooked meals with extra special desserts. Friendly staff and good value for money.

Always try to eat here when on a coach trip

Lovely food,good selection of beverages,staff were so polite and s friendly atmosphere all round.We would all recommend this place for a lovely time 👍👍

Lovely lunch, roast lamb was amazing! The selection of vegetables was brilliant, great value for money, very tasty and excellent service in lovely surroundings. Will definitely come back again next time we are on holiday or maybe before we go home. Cant have too much roast Welsh lamb.

Wonderful staff, excellent food, friendly atmosphere, very reasonable prices and toilets nice and clean.

Unless you've been here you haven't had a fantastic Sunday Lunch - easily the best around! A great little place, not overly fussy and some could describe as dated but that's the best thing about it! No pretentious menus with random ingredients - just good, tasty, well cooked food! The chicken is always melt in your mouth, proper gravy (separate for each meat) and a great selection of vegetables! Not forgetting the delicious roasties! Highly recommended for the food and service - excellent value for money!

Very good staff, OK menu, good food when it arrived. The tables are very close together and I wouldn't want to visit when they are at full capacity!

Great food. We stopped here for lunch & it was lovely. Good quality food & we will definitely be back.

The Greyhound Vaults always presents good quality food, prepared on site, at very reasonable prices. Staff are professional and service very good.

I have reviewed the Greyhound Vaults before and we - two Octogenarians - continue to enjoy our very regular visits. Mid week lunches offer a very wide range of choices from an extensive Menu that has several " favourites" including Roy's speciality omelettes - his Spanish omelette is my favourite and there is always a vegetarian choice. Lyn's Deserts really are to die for - my favourite is the New York Cheese cake.On Sunday lunch is offered with a range of favourite roast choices and, as on weekdays, a fish and vegetarian dish.Comfortable, unpretentious surroundings with very friendly and efficient staff. Family and friends who have joined us there have been delighted and are always glad to go back. We usually reserve a table as it is in the middle of town and very popular!There is a public car park opposite.

Beautiful food well presented all.home cooked. Toilets spotlets.

Went to the Greyhound Vaults last week after shopping in the new Morrisons.Have been to Abergavenny many times but this was our first visit to this restaurant.The food was so good we returned today,13th June,and the food was just as good.I had the Thai fish cakes with chips and salad.My wife had chicken in a cream sauce,my step daughter had scampi,my sister in law had pork and my brother in law had home made steak pie.We all agreed that the food was superb and the prices more than reasonable.I had a creamy rice pudding with salted caramel for a sweet which was really moreish.My bill for three was about £40 including one sweet and three drinks.Will be returning next week!

Fab food, and very reasonable, will definitely go again.

Stopping off in Abergavenny for lunch and a stroll while en cross country route home from the Gower, we had planned to check out the arty cafe in an old church across the road when our eye was caught by the prospect of the Greyhound Vaults.We were lucky to get a Saturday lunchtime table for two as there were plenty of reserved signs testifying to its popularity, and sat down to take in the surroundings, which offer a 'this has worked for us for years and we don't need to change it' vibe, clean and tidy but a tad old-fashioned, and that's not a moan. Beer choice was limited, so it was a trip down memory lane with a pint of Flowers keg, which I hadn't seen for years - apparently this former Whitbread staple is now brewed down the road by Brains in Cardiff.The menu is full of traditional favourites, too, though with a few modern add-ons and all very competitively priced.On one side of the table it was big chunks of roast ham with stacks of fresh parsley sauce and plenty of plain but tasty veg, I opted for a platter of cooked meats (ham, pork and beef) which came with saute spuds and a bowl of salad as well as pickles. My only moan would be poor application of dressing to the salad, which came in quite a small bowl so it wasn't possible to give it a good stir at the table so the bottom half was a bit dry. First world problems.Most of the diners seem to be regulars, service came with a big smile, it was a very tasty trip down memory lane.

First time for lunch here but can not fault the food, the service or the price. I can not recommend this place enough...we travel 100 miles round trip to eat here!

Booked for Sunday lunch and was glad we did, restaurant soon filled up,we were quickly seated and ordered,soup and pate were good, followed by the beef and lamb plentiful and really good, nice touches of extra gravy and plentiful veg, dessert was equally good,really good value for money and will definitely be returning

This place is no modern fancy restaurant producing menus which most people can barely understand. However, the food on a Sunday rivals that of many a more expensive restaurant with prices to match their unrealistic ambitions. At the Greyhound Vaults go for a good Sunday lunch with plenty of choice to satisfy most people. The surroundings may be 1970's but who cares if the food is good?

The food was superb. Pricey but cooked fresh and well presented.

Called in on the off chance at 2/30 for Sunday lunch and was made more than welcome the food and Service was amazing

You will not get better food than this anywhere. The choice is amazing and the dishes so well presented. Lynne, Vicky and the other staff are most friendly are obliging. My own favourite is the steak pie but the fish dishes are equally good.

An interesting café experience! Seven people, seven different choices for lunch: service was a little slow (only a little) but the food was worth the wait. All freshly cooked, very tasty and good portion sizes. Certainly worth seeking out.

Good food and a large selection on the menu. You need to book.

Always a good meal can be found here - clearly the staff care about the food they present to customers. Well priced, great atmosphere, excellent staff

The greyhound vaults looks to be a cross between a pub and a restaurant and that is reflected in their menu. I had the steak pie (which was very hot on arrival) with chips. I recommend applying a generous amount of the seasoning on the table to the chips and the meat in the pie was slightly dry ,but apart from that it was very nice. The food was delivered very quickly and the service was generally nice.

Excellent food and helpful staff. Well worth a visit

Sunday lunch ... one word: YUMMY! Portions are not huge but sufficient. Service: attentive and efficient. Ambience: very pleasant. Will return next time we’re in Abergavenny.

Lovely Sunday lunches, book early

Attitude of one staff member was appauling i would never recommend here to anyone

What a fantastic find...booked for Sunday Lunch with the family and we were not disappointed! Fast and friendly staff and delicious food (I’d definitely recommend the New York Cheesecake) Thank you for a lovely welcome and fabulous home cooked food 😊😊

We visit regularly for either a mid-week or Sunday Lunch. The atmosphere is friendly - no frills but service is prompt and professional. No meal we have had there has ever failed to please.

Fabulous homemade Sunday lunch. Roys home made soup is the best

Beautiful food. Always so accommodating even when a large party of us go in (sometimes close to 20 people)

Quiet and unassuming, friendly staff and moderately priced good food. We have only been at lunchtimes, though. Can't say what it is like in the evening.

I visit Abergavenny now and then and always enjoy the experience especially having lunch at the Greyhound Vaults. The food has always been delicious. So on Saturday l was really sad to hear that they had closed. I am not sure why. It always seemed a popular venue. But I know I shall miss dining there.

This is a great and understated Restaurant. The food is excellent, and together with the wine, is very good value and the service is friendly and efficient. I hope the Owner will not mind my saying that the Decor is eccentric and zany which adds ti its charm. This was my third visit, on the last one I met people who had come from Bristol because they love the place and on this visit all the other diners around us expressed their liking for the place. Keep up the great work.

Had a great Sunday lunch at the Greyhound with the family, good food, atmosphere and service thanks to Vikki and staff x

Return to the vaults for another great Sunday lunch, managed to get early table, so it still looks like your nan's front room, but hey what is wrong with that, the food is still extra very good, from starter through to sublime home made pudding, and all at very sensible prices. The best.

Good and tasty food, good quality too, nice atmosphere. Been meaning to come here for a while.

Excellent food, excellent service, and very friendly atmosphere. The food was very tasty, and hot. The staff were very helpful when they were asked questions about the menu. We would definitely visit this restaurant again, without doubt.

This place is usually full as it is so good.Fresh homemade food and served hot.Service is standard but the food is worth the visit.

Had lunch here tuesday with my mother. Although the place was a little old fashioned the food was delicious. My...

Great food but can be chilly as there is no heating.

Excellent Sunday Lunch. Fantastic week menu. You need to book for Sunday Lunch. Wonderful staff. Excellent cooking. Friendly atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.

He visitado el Greyhound bóvedas varias veces con mi esposa para una comida. Cada vez la comida ha sido excelente, buen servicio y una alegría para comer allí. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente para comida, visite aquí, no te decepcionará.

Una vez más una comida fantástica que viajamos 90 millas de ida y vuelta. . Merece la pena cada vez. Mi cod en mejillones y puerros y salsa de crema era delicioso. No me puedo quejar de este lugar.

Mi esposa y yo, junto con mi cuñada y mi cuñada venga a Abergavenny en ocasiones y he tenido el almuerzo en su pub unas cuantas veces. Si estás buscando una buena relación calidad-precio, comida casera de un extenso menú, este es el lugar para ti. Tiene una clientela principalmente mayores que parecen ser de una proporción de clientes habituales. El servicio es amable y las porciones son más que suficiente. ¿Qué es? Si no ha probado las bóvedas de Greyhound ya luego no tengas miedo de hacerlo. Usted no será decepcionado. P. S si es día de mercado tendrá que reservar, es que popular.

we have eaten here regularly so were quite upset when we visited to day to be turned away as they only had one table left for 4 and would,nt let us dine as there were only 2 of us and they wanted to keep it incase 4 arrived. Very embarrassing indeed

It's in Abergavenny, so it a Welsh restaurant!!

We visited this place for lunch on a recommendationOn first impression it looks like it could do with a facelift And on the day that we visited thought it was very cold in there My wife had a lovely omelette and my father-in-law had the liver and onions which looked great I had the chicken and ham pie which didn't look the most appealing to the eye and put me off a little bit That said my father in laws meal looked great

While shopping at the market, a market trader mentioned this venue has a good place to eat. We decided that we would give it a try. Glad that we did, for a Tuesday the menu was very good. I opted for roast beef and yorkshire pub with the usual veg and roast spud. My partner sampled an excellent poached salmon with buttered new potatoes and a great salad. Prices were very good, compared very well with other venues ham, egg and chip price. An older styled venue, historical. Will be putting on our list for return visits. Too full on this visit to try their sweet menu.

Always fabulous and varied food, freshly cooked.Always helpful and patient staff, who go out of their way to assist those of us who are not so sprightly on our pins these days.

I have visited this restaurant many times over the years and, I would like to say that the high standard of food and service I receive at the Vaults is always consistently excellent as is the friendly service by Vicky. The chef/ owners Roy and Lynne are always very accommodating and if you can't find anything on their menu they go out of their way to suggest an alternative to suit. Everything is home cooked from scratch the desserts are amazing. Sunday Lunch is a must try you certainly don't leave hungry and everything is very reasonable priced for the standard of food .

Lovely little place. I'd recommend booking beforehand, there seemed to be a lot of regulars so was quite busy. The staff were really friendly, always smiling and were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They even didn't mind us bringing our own cake (definite thumbs up). There was a good selection of food on the menu and not just your typical roast dinner. The dessert menu also had a good selection. Very good value for money. There's plenty of parking available as the town has several car parks, they are free on a Sunday which is a bonus.

We called for lunch this week , it was our 1st visit and we were very impressed . It is an eatery more than a pub, with pleasant seating and lovely staff. The menu was extensive and all looked home cooked. It was midweek but traditional dinner was on the menu and very popular with other diners. Our lunch was a sandwich served on very fresh chunky bread ,an excellent salad and crisps . Avery pleasant lunch , we will return .
