It was a pub with character and characters. It was my first time in there and the bar staff loaned me an umbrella as it was pouring. I returned it a couple of days later.👍

Friendly old-fashioned style pub in the centre of Abergavenny. They serve a reasonable selection of well kept ales, mostly Brains. They also serve freshly cooked pub food, typical fayre, fish and chips, gourmet burgers etc. Prices are moderate, cheap beer on Monday night! Some outside street seating for fine weather and smokers. The staff are very friendly. There is a room upstairs that is used for meetings by various local societies.

What a lovely little pub this was. I had the most amazing roast beef. The beef was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavourful and the pigs in blankets oh my goodness, they were absolutely delightful! If you're a fan of roast beef and pigs in blankets, you definitely need to check out The Hen & Chicken pub. Also to mention the lovely lady who served us. I didn’t get her name but she was so wonderfully helpful and made us and our dogs feel so welcome. We will definitely return when we are close.

-Lady behind the bar really friendly -Drinks good -Ham and egg very good, fish and chips no that so (cod was hidden inside a far too greasy batter) -Ambient, so so. Amazing how a single customer ca spoil a meal. Language, farting and laughing about his own manners...simply 🤢 I would suggest the staff to advise people that is going to eat to seat in a different area if the customers on the darts area can't behave themselves. I would go back to drink there if I was sure not to find that kind of "animal" on the premises.

We are staying in the area for the weekend and were looking for a pub that could accommodate 13 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs at short notice. After little success we called The Hen and Chicken who were really helpful and managed to fit us in at lunchtime today. This is a really friendly pub and we were made to feel very welcome. The menu was great and all of our food was fantastic, especially the roasts! The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area next. Well done and thank you to all the staff.

They host many events and live music, including an eclectic folk band who will blow you away on the first Sunday of every month. This wonderful pub is inclusive, warm and friendly and the regulars here are full of charm and character. Without a doubt, it is the best pub in town!
