Jolly Colliers Inn in Monmouthshire

Well started off ok friendly staff polite conversation, then we went through to the restaurant, where we obviously were to have our meals ,I had a steak and Guinness pie which to me tasted of pepper ,to much pepper ,edible but unfortunately not enjoyable , my wife had a burger and took one bit and was not able to eat anymore how ever we did think the desert menu would be ok but sadly that was awful no real choice at all, also there were two different menu,s one for day one for evening which they did not tell us about, when I googled this place it was in the top ten places to eat but alas we did not like it , not saying every meal was bad at all just the ones we had ,try it your self you may fair better than we did

I'll will never go there again Food served on a piece of wood and it was cold , could not eat it , didn't stay for dessert because I was to afraid to risk it. Very disappointed ☹️

Sunday roast was amazing, staff were fantastic and prices were good to

Great food, friendly staff, dog friendly. Very well worth a visit.

Had the most amazing sunday roast here on the 3rd nov. I chose the roast pork which came with roast potatoes yorkshire pudding red cabbage cauliflower broccoli green beans peas & an absolutely delicious gravy! All homemade with fresh ingredients beautifully cooked generous portions all served hot. The staff were friendly & helpful too. Would highly recommend & i will return on my next stay in Wales. Well done The Jolly Colliers

First time time having Sunday lunch today it was outstanding best I have ever had And plenty of it everything was cooked to perfection and the gravy was out of this world The most pleasant staff we had a lovely welcome upon arrival the atmosphere was great to will definitely be returning

Awesome meal at a fantastic place, great bar too, try the cocktails with your meal. Booking is essential!!!

Amazing food lovely staff I had the beef cheeks they was fantastic melt in your mouth.

Great pub now doing excellent food at great prices

One of the tastiest tapas meals we have ever eaten. Lovely friendly staff with a wonderful welcome for dogs. Thank you Jolly Colliers staff.

Situated in the beautiful hills surrounding Clydach in Llanelli hill is Jolly Colliers. This hidden/not so hidden gem has a special place in the hearts of its locals, our family has been coming here for years. It has a restaurant side and a bar side. The owners are so welcoming, the staff emulate this in everything they do. The pub is a classic country pub with amazing pub food. Dogs and humans alike love this cozy place. After this place had been ruined in a fire, it has risen like a Phoenix from the ashes. We have our birthday meals here and will be back in the future. Thank you for having us Jolly Colliers.

Dined last night as a party of 6, even though it was busy the food was delicious. The belly pork was cooked to perfection. Service was also very good and a good selection of drinks. Not my 1st visit and definitely won't be my last!

Brilliant Sunday dinner with a pleasant atmosphere within the pub. Nice surroundings and many walks around the area. Service was also good.

Inboxed them on Facebook about Christmas to see if they was doing Christmas dinner the reply was rude in my opinion

Best Sunday lunch ever!!! Staff are lovely it's got a friendly atmosphere and you can even bring your dog (we didn't because one of mine would just be begging off everyone)

Best Sunday Roast!! Gravy and beef was insane! Thank you so much.

Came here a couple of days ago. Lovely pub/restaurant. Staff were really friendly, which in turn made for a great atmosphere. We all ordered the Shin beef and guiness pie with mash potato ... which we all highly recommend, very good portion size too ... followed by a brownie with ice-cream and stick toffee pudding. Amazing food, thank you. We will definitely return when visiting again.

We love the jolly collier such a friendly and warming place. The staff and the food are amazing. The owners are just the loveliest of people. If your thinking of visiting there for some fine food just do it. 👍👌

Fantastic experience at this restaurant, fantastic food and service, good luck trying to get a reservation...

Excellent dinner at this lovely establishment. Really good choice of meals and drinks. Everything we ordered was delicious, and well presented. Staff were friendly and professional. Will visit again.

Catered seamlessly for a party of 10. Food was excellent and the service was friendly and attentive. Will be stopping here again soon!

The food was really, really nice and there's a pretty garden out back, friendly service and some cute dogs.

Don’t get me wrong the food was delicious but my experience was awful. Not only do you pay for the food but you pay for the catering and service. I called and asked for a table for two, little did I know I was going to be sat at the bar area. Now the bar area shouldn’t be an option for booking I think it should only be an option for walk ins. The music was terribly loud, people at the bar were very loud and kids were running around. At a bar that’s somewhat expected but when you’re wanting to have a meal with your pregnant wife i don’t want to be surrounded by shouting locals and running kids throwing things around. I felt like I wanted to eat and leave as soon as I could. PLEASE ONLY LEAVE THE BAR FOR WALK INs so people have the option, and not dress us expecting a nice quiet meal. Felt like I wasted £65.

Lovely atmosphere and exquisite food

Absolutely amazing from the staff to the beautiful food , definitely will be returning

Probably the best Sunday roast you'll ever have! Absolutely delicious, big servings and friendly staff.

After a long walk they welcomed the family and dogs in, unfortunately we were too late for the roast, but it looked good.

Great experience, vibe and atmosphere matches the authentic Spanish dishes with flavoursome tasty food on the tapas night. Fab evening and will be going back. Packed on a Thursday and everyone happy says it all.

Amazing food and service as always! Great menu selection as normal. So glad it's back open after the fire Well done everyone

I have heard about this place for the past few years and I was finally able to get my chance to dine here. The food was beautiful , the presentation and the flavours are gorgeous. Very good service from the staff. Next on my list is to try their very popular Sunday roast. I went for the Thursday tapas night and I’ll be back very soon I hope. Definitely pay them a visit.

Fantastic Sunday lunch tasty, fantastic staff, everything was amazing could not fault it, we go every week or every other weekend, always love it here wouldn't go anywhere else Claire and Chris

Great to have our 'Jollies' back! Superb Sunday lunch.

Lovely to have the Jolly Collier’s back open again! We visited last night and had a great meal - really tasty beef brisket croquettes and calamari to start, chicken pie and beef pie for main with gorgeous triple cooked chips, and a creamy biscoff cheesecake to finish off. Gorgeous! We also had a lovely glass of wine and good pint of Butty Bach. All at a reasonable price. We’ll be back!

Visited yesterday for Sunday lunch and was very impressed. Great service, food was lovely, plentiful and the gravy was another level 😋. Best Sunday lunch I've had out in quite a while.

Lovely atmosphere very welcoming, will come back no doubt 😋👍

Visited today for Sunday lunch, fantastic Sunday roast. Beef cooked to perfection, and plenty of it!! The best roast potatoes, with plenty of veg, gravy and a big Yorkshire pudding. Paté starter is delicious, comes with a chutney which is a game changer! I recommend this Sunday lunch to anybody!! Staff are all very efficient and very friendly. Thank you.

Excellent pub that's more like a restaurant inside as food seems to be the main priority. It was tapas night when we visited and the food was delicious. There's also a decent drinks selection with good wine by the glass. There's an extensive selection of bottled and keg beers but only one cask ale available but it was a very well kept Butty Bach. There's no car park but plenty of on-street parking nearby. 2024 update. Very happy to see that little has changed since they reopened following a fire. The Butty Bach has even gone down from £3.90 to £3.80 in the 11 months since our last visit! There can't be many pubs in the UK where that has happened!

At last the Jollies team are back! You have been so missed! Amazing, delicious and authentic Spanish tapas. Olives and bread get you started then a menu to die for … what to choose? We shared Prawns with chorizo and red pepper, some bang, bang cauliflower together with the soft spicy Korean influenced belly pork, and so, so many other delights. A full, happy atmospheric bar too! But behind the scenes it is the chief Jessica and the team who deliver the magic. Lovely evening can’t wait to indulge again. Sunday lunch next time😊

We love this place, it's been closed for months unfortunately due to a terrible fire. Good news now it's reopened, the owners are fantastic always make us feel welcome. The food is always really good, tasty and freshly cooked. The chunky chips are amazing yum,yum. We recommend this place to everyone. Can't wait for our next visit.

So glad you are back. Took friends from Cardiff for the first time. Great food and staff. Even on my new health journey I was able to find good food, beautifully presented . Thank you

Absolutely lush Sunday dinner today, thank you to jess, Claudio, Leon nic and all the staff, friendly warm pub with the best food.

We have been waiting with bated breath for the pub to re open and we weren’t disappointed. Lovely Sunday dinner and all the family were made to feel welcome! So glad you haven’t changed anything as the food has always been spot on! Well done everyone!

Absolutely wonderful restaurant excellent service and atmosphere and the food was stunning best razor dinner in the uk

Had a lovely evening at The Jolly Colliers Inn! Service was amazing, so nice to see Claudio and Leon doing what they do best. Food was incredible, I had the surf and turf, which was cooked to perfection 😍 my friend had the pork… oh my, looked and tasted amazing. Jamie had the beef shin pie, fully loaded with meat and flavour. Thank you Jess for an amazing meal. The atmosphere was lush! If you haven’t been to the Jolly’s yet, you need to get booked in! So nice to see you open for business again, see you very soon for Tapas Night, well done Team Jolly’s ❤️

Great place friendly customer service. Lovely meal had a really nice time with no shouting to other members of staff.

Best meal I have had out in years. Honestly cannot recommend this place enough. Great service as well.

Always incredible food, I have an excellent meal every time I visit.

Have visited Jolly Colliers on many occasions over the last few years as a couple, with friends and also as a family but today was our first time for Sunday lunch to celebrate my dads 80th birthday. As always we received a warm welcome from Claudio and all the staff but was totally blown away by the quality and quantity of their Sunday lunch! I can now understand why it’s always sold out on a Sunday. My first but not the last and can honestly say it was as good as my own, the gravy is superb! Thank you Claudio and Jess, you really do deserve all the 5 star reviews!!!

Great meal from the starter through to the dessert. I am now in love with the chef who cooked my pie, peas, chips and gravy. I lived it. I have told my wife about this but she had the same meal and she says she has feelings for him too!

What a find this place is! We saw a review on instagram and decided to try out the Sunday lunch for ourselves. Very friendly pub from the minute you walk in with good menu choices. We decided to go for a 2 course lunch priced at £19.95. The beef was three very large slices of tender beef, roast potatoes, roast carrot and a Yorkshire pudding - the extra vegetables - red cabbage, carrot and swede mash, peas, green beans, and broccoli come separately with a pot of tasty thick gravy each. It was delicious. We had saved some room for a dessert and luckily for me, my favourite sticky toffee pudding and cream was an option on the menu. Lets just say there wasn’t much conversation between us as my partner tucked into his choice of chocolate brownie. There aren’t many places that you can go to and spend under £45 with drinks on such tasty food. Cant recommend this gem highly enough, in the words of Arnie, I’ll be back!!

The team were very busy but made time to make us feel welcome, our drinks order was taken and arrived promptly. We were informed they’d sold all the chicken, but the other choices on the menu sounded good, the food took hardly anytime to be served, it looked great, smelled amazing and tasted delicious. The atmosphere was of a friendly, local pub and we really enjoyed our visit, would definitely recommend it!

Cannot compliment the Chef Jess enough! Food is always 10/10 but last nights meal was incredible! We had the hot dog & burger and we couldn’t fault it. Amazing food & staff and such a cosy feel. A must try!

The tapas was excellent. We were very surprised how good it was. The pub does not look very exciting, but the food really is. Service good too. The route we took to get there was steep and winding, which was a bit challenging

Best Sunday lunch!!! A must go to for Sunday lunch- we are from York and all agreed it was the best Sunday lunch we have ever had! A must go to book in advance!

Excellent and friendly service Superb food Great portions Well worth a visit up that mountain for Sunday lunch

Fantastic village pub, which is always very busy. Food is phenomenonal. I had the roast pork, which I could confidently say was one of the best I have ever had. Owner and staff were very friendly and stopped by our table frequently for a bit of a laugh.

Amazing food, with lovely friendly service.

Fantastic roast dinner, really tasty and a good quantity which is guaranteed to fill you up. 100% recommend

Visited the Jolly Collier during a weeks visit to Wales and a search via trip advisor for somewhere nice to eat with the family. I now know why it is rated 2 of 71 places to eat in Abergavenny. As soon as we walked in we were made to feel welcome. The food (Mexican burger and Big Daddy burger) were absolutely delicious and the bonus pot of chilli was a nice touch. The fact that our little one could eat free (Fridays between 5-6:30) was also a nice surprise. Big thanks to Charlie, Claudio and team for a lovely evening with delicious food.

Have not been here for a while and forgot how good the food is. Clearly made with love. Won't leave it so long before we go again.

We love coming here the food is great and the owner always makes us feel very welcome. I had lasagna today and triple cooked chips with garlic bread. Gorgeous.

We had a family lunch ( planned for 11 people) to celebrate my wife’s birthday - everything worked out extremely well, we ordered our food in advance and everything was perfect. The food and service were fantastic. We could not have had a better time. Thanks to Jess and the staff for their hard work.

Great place, great food and great staff! Thank you for having us x

Myself and my husband visited here and what a find! Cosy restaurant area with a mouth watering menu, it was difficult to choose what to have! Highly recommend

I knew the food was wonderful here, having had Sunday lunch a few times which was always excellent. My husband suggested we try the Tapas one Thursday night, so I went along without expectations as I wasn't sure what to expect from the menu having only eaten Tapas a couple of times before. I can happily say it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten, the food was outstanding, more so because it was different to the usual food I eat. The belly pork and patatas bravas were particular favourites. It was such a treat to have so many different things to eat, if anyone is wondering whether or not to try it - the answer is yes, you should!

Excellent Sunday lunch. Generous portions of beef. The gravy is amazing! I live in Oxfordshire where a Sunday roast is £18 plus and nowhere near as good as this a much lower price. Great family-friendly pub. Will go again. I didn't have the cheesecake, but the rest of my family did. They said it was the best they've ever had.

Food was amazing, the gravy on the roast was awesome. Very generous on the beef portion. I've had a lot of roasts in London and they do not come close to this. Get the cheesecake it's unreal. £80 for four adults and a child, bargain

Great place, to eat and very friendly staff, with great service. Defo visit on a regular basis.

Amazing food great service 100% All round faultless keep it up👍👍👍

Excellent quality food, friendly service and a log burner to warm you up after a day out on hills. I'll be returning!

An unexpected gem. Great welcome and service and really good pub food with a few less common dishes too.

A great local pub serving delicious freshly prepared food by chef jessica The service and hospitality we received from claudio and the team was 5 star. wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will definitely return on our next visit to the Brecons.

We decided to have Sunday lunch at the Jolly Colliers because of its excellent reviews, and we weren't disappointed. Delicious starters and beautifully cooked roast with the accompanying Yorkshire pudding, vegetables and gravy cooked to perfection. Enjoyed it so much we have already been back. Very good value for the quality and large portions. Highly recommend.

One of the nicest tasting Sunday lunches we've ever had. Soap for starters which was also delicious. Had a bit of a wait for the main course (which wasn't even that long ) so they gave us free drinks. The beef Sunday lunch was amazing,...

Heard about the great reviews here so we decided to pay a visit and were delighted we did. Hubby says the gravy is as good as my mum's and that's saying something. Friendly welcome, great service. Highly recommended. We will definitely return.

We had been told the tapas was great and we were delighted at the food we had. It was made all the better by great attentive staff. We are going this Sunday for their Sunday roast which has been well recommended. It so nice to...

Went last night and I would highly recommend to anyone to go. Food was outstanding and the staff very friendly and very helpful. Already looking when to go back. The belly pork was stunning, only problem was what to pick, I could if eaten anything...

A stunning Sunday lunch today, they were fully booked, but managed to fit us in, and I'm so glad that they did, as it was the best Sunday lunch that I have eaten out in years! Excellent service from Nicola.

An absolute gem. The staff couldn’t have been nicer, the food was fantastic and other punters were friendly. The chef even cooked sausages for all the dogs in the pub. If you’re on foot then persevere; it is totally worth the trek up the hill!

No words other than WOW ! Came here for the first time for a meal and it didn't disappoint.. atmosphere was lovely.. food was out of this world! Portion size incredible.. the taste (my mouth is watering even thinking back to Friday night) I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend! Service and staff are great too .. 20/1/22 Our 4th visit here for a meal and it never fails to leave us feeling full, satisfied and planning our next visit .

First visit to The Jolly Collier after reading rave reviews and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious the staff really friendly and would definitely visit again . The evening menu looked beautiful too will have to try it out .

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with good service and friendly staff. Very tasty, lovely food, good portions, fab Yorkshire puddings. The only thing I would say for an improvement is to have warm plates and service dishes. Will definitely return.

Cute pub, slightly off the beaten track but well worth the visit. We were lucky to get a table at short notice but the restaurant was quite small, so probably advisable to book ahead as room was full by the time we left! Good food, steak pie and the lovely chips were our highlight and they had some great premium beers on tap at very reasonable prices. The pub felt very cosy, we were by a roaring wood fire and it was decorated beautifully for Christmas!

Fabulous food, the Sunday roast pork was massive, I couldn’t finish it all! It also has Vegan options, theCauliflower Steak was amazing and I would definitely recommend it.

What a fantastic find. Food was fabulous. The Vegan Cauliflower Steak dish, I would recommend!

Excellent thanks for a joyful evening

Best Sunday lunch iv ever had. Beautiful

As always, beautiful and freshly cooked food. The gravy is to die for, its so good. We were too stuffed for puddings but thank you for another amazing meal

Went here tonight off the back of all of the fab reviews below and honestly so glad we did. Food was fab, tasted amazing, portion sizes very good, and service second to none and prices more than reasonable. Would go back in a heartbeat. Keep...

Went there for the tapas having read some great reviews. Not in the least disappointed. The pork belly with membrillo sauce was delicious. Lovely warm bread too. Great sized portions and very attentive staff. We will be back to sample one of their pies next.

Thank you to all the staff for an amazing meal last night. Definitely recommend and will definitely be going back. A big thank you from the Davies family x

Myself and my Partner had a very rare day without our children. We decided to go for a walk around the Blorange and then find something to eat. A quick google search and we found this gem of a place. From the moment we walked...

Turned up for tapas night, food was so good, quality meal,

Once again we have had a great Sunday lunch. 4 adults and 2 kids bit of a wait, due the lateness of our booking, but food was exceptional and fantastic value.

Walking in the area so found this place almost by accident. What a great meal- Sunday roast at its finest. Meat tender and delicious, proper crackly crackling, crispy Yorkshire and potatoes and 6 perfectly cooked vegetables. And this towards the end of service when we...

Fantastic experience all round - great pie and chips, excellent range of pints and cocktails and a warming atmosphere. Will definitely return in the future!

Sunday lunch was a banger as usual Love the food service and atmosphere Winner winner Sunday dinner Defo be back. Had a lively welcome and service was brilliant.
