Kings Arms Hotel Restaurant in Monmouthshire

This is one of the friendliest bars with some great quality food as well. We had the souvlaki chicken and the squid as starters but the food , ambience and service was really good. Very welcoming pub in wales.

I wanted to try this place out as I have booked a Christmas meal here. It’s was very busy but also spacious. Fast service and the food arrived very quickly. I’ll definitely come back.

Spent 2 nights for our Birthdays, room in the attic, number 7, quaint, cosy and very clean. Staff professional and friendly. Breakfast very good. Location brilliant.

Great food, drink and atmosphere.

One of the most attentive team of staff at any hotel I've stayed at - a lovely group of people. Nothing was an issue - and all seemed willing to drop anything they were doing to assist. Room was spacious and had loads of character. Sounds travels a little, but we can expect it to be in a pub/building that age. Bar area is cosy/chilled. Breakfast was good - can't comment on lunch or dinner.

We went for a meal. 13 of us in total this time and really enjoyed it. I cannot comment on the rooms as we did not stay. I am disabled and the staff could not help me more, taking my rollator up the ramp and then supporting me as I could not push the walker myself (quite steep). It was very busy but nothing too much trouble. Thank you, we will certainly come again.

Wonderful stay, staff very friendly and welcoming.

Visited on a night out with friends, lovely atmosphere.

Amazing Sunday lunch with attentive and helpful staff in bar and restaurant. Highly recommend. Local guy John was great

Booked for Sunday lunch, which was excellent. Very well cooked and presented, lovely pork, and veggies that were way more than just the bit on the side. The staff were really attentive and helpful. I can see why it's a busy, bustling place to visit. The bar looked nice, too. I really enjoyed coming here.

A female waiter, short dark hair - was the most rude & horrible person today while i asked if my gentleman with dementia could sit on a bench without ordering food, briefly. Will not be coming back. A vast difference at the Trading Post next door who are the best!

Love The Kings Arms. The service is great and it's a good place to meet up with friends.

Had sunday lunch, was very good and reasonable price, booking recommended

This is a very popular but upmarket restaurant, serving excellent meals. On this, our first, visit my wife and I enjoyed Sunday lunch. She had the excellent sea bass and I had roast beef with all the trimmings. The fish was white and fresh and the beef was tender and beautifully cooked. The veg was plentiful with good variety. There was just enough room for a dessert. My wife had tiramisu, as she is a bit of a connoisseur of that dessert. She said it was delicious and one of the very best she has ever had. I enjoyed the orange cheesecake which was smothered in a chocolate sauce. Excellent!

Ate for the first time last Saturday. Ordered salmon which came with polenta chips so asked to change to chunky chips. I had to pay £1.00 for the change. My meal arrived with 6 chips, my husband was most fortunate to get 8 for his “upgrade “. Very disappointing. I emailed hotel to express my disappointment but they could not be bothered to reply

Beautiful room, very good food. We were a party of 11 and everyone was served hot food at the same time. Fish and chips was amazing according to my father-in-law. Service was very good, too. First time here but will definitely return.

My husband and I had lunch here today,the food was excellent,and was reasonable priced.The staff were very friendly especially Jess our waitress,she was very helpful,we will definitely come again.

Spent an hour outside this lovely old pub with live music entertaining us on a Sunday afternoon. Loved it! Nice seating area to front gave continental vibes. Everyone was having fun. More of this please. Just a disappointment it ended to soon.

Excellent service and the best Sunday lunch we have had for a very long time. The roast beef and pork belly were so tasty. Everything was perfect. Compliments to the chef and waiting staff. Thank you. 10/10

Did not stay here so cannot comment on accommodation but it was one of the few places in Abergavenny serving dinner without a reservation on the night we were there. Good service and the food was satisfactory. Live music added to the ambiance.

Great pub, for various occasions & events. Live music once a month, great Sunday dinners & dog friendly. Service & owners are lovely.

4 of us stayed 2 nights in the accommodation. The rooms were above average and had very good bathrooms. Although we did not eat there in the evening, the breakfasts were excellent and the staff were friendly and under good management.

Attended a wake here . Excellent service great atmosphere staff friendly and efficient food very good.

My food was so delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection. Peppercorn sauce and truffle and parmesan fries were to die for!!! The pubs is so is quaint and has so much character. Service was great and the staff were so friendly. I would highly recommend coming here and it's a great on a Sunday say sitting outside.

Good drinks selection but limited seating if just in for drinks . Another customer kindly let us sit at his table with him.

We've eaten a number of time in the King's Arms restaurant & came today for the Mother's Day lunch. It's a lovely, rustic setting, with a large restaurant & a few smaller rooms set up for dining. The staff are pleasant, friendly & very accomodating & there's always a nice selection of food on the menu. We were 3 adults & 2 children. Three of us opted for the 2 course roast lunch & dessert @ £23.95, the youngest 2 had a kid's meal & dessert @ £6.95. Everything was delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection & there was plenty of veg & gravy. The kid's meals were a decent size too. My only negative regarding the meal, was that there was garlic in the vegetables. I do not have an intolerance, but I dislike garlic with a passion. This wasn't specified on the menu & I feel it should have been. With regards to the bill, unfortunately we didn't realise until we'd got home, that we'd been wrongly charged. Instead of the offer price on the roast lunches, we were charged individually for each item. Not a huge difference in price I know, but still still wrong. My advice, check your bill before leaving. UPDATE - after reading my review, I was contacted by Maria from The King's Arms, who apologised for the mistake with the bill. She has sent me a voucher as a token of good will, which was an unexpected, but lovely gesture. Thank you Maria 😀

We had dinner here on Friday night the food and service were both very good but for what we had I thought it seemed a bit expensive it was the we were told a service charged had been added, £5 per person a £20 tip was expensive 😳

We had a lovely meal. Staff were very good. I didn't realise we we're paying nearly £20 service charge. Which was optional, but not explained. We think it was far too much tip. 2 guests only had fish and chips which was cheaper than the service charge. We were going to pay a tip, but not that amount. Disappointed at the end, because we didn't know it had been added on. Probably won't come again for that reason

Only went to the pub, not the hotel. Loved it there.

Came for dinner on a Saturday evening. Loved the live music and beautiful old building. Food was nice but not special special.. good quality pub stuff nonetheless. Rather taken aback at the automatic £10 service charge added to the bill though our server explained that could be taken off on request.

Love, love, love this cozy and vibrant pub. It is fast becoming an end of week/work get together. Have yet to sample the food but it won't be too long before I do 😉

Attended a ladies lunch meeting and the food was beautiful, the service outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. The place was buzzing and I would definitely recommend for lunch or a drink. I have been lucky previously to see the rooms which are also high standard and worth considering if you are looking to stay in Abergavenny.

Really terrific Sunday lunch. Service was polite & attentive. We chose the leek and potato soup and mackerel pate to start; followed by the topside of beef and belly pork as mains. Desserts were lemon & lime cheesecake and the cheeseboard. So pleased we came and would certainly come again. A big shout out to all the Team. 😉👍

Seated in back of restaunt felt a bit like a canteen although staff were excellent went for Sunday lunch soup wad nice but luke warm roast was swimming in gravy and veg looked dry chocolate brownie was to wet overall very dissatisfied

Possibly one of the best places to eat in Abergavenny, excellent freshly cooked food and excellent service! The outside areas are great on a sunny day … all served by happy waiting staff ! Great menu for lunch and dinner … Inside is dog friendly too .. Would highly recommend

Out with the family for an early Sunday roast. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member and ushered to our table inside. All in all the location, staff and especially the food all made it a very enjoyable experience. Menu did cater for vegan/vegetarian however my lot stuck into the roast beef and pork belly. Excellent starters and desert options. My only criticism may be that the menu is somewhat limited to 4 or 5 items for starters, main and desert each.

After numerous visits, still love returning to this top boutiquey hotel. Would highly recommend 👍 Comfortable rooms and all a little different. Great breakfast and dinner, a nice bar area all capped off with some lovely people at the helm and on the floor.

We have family who live in Abergavenny but due to house moves there were no spare beds so booked two nights B&B here. We were called to say that there was a 40th birthday so it might be a bit noisy, which we thought was nice as it warned us. We know the venue and had a nice room with a comfortable bed and nice en suite. Breakfast was very nice but we had to pre order ( not an issue for us). We would stay again without hesitation.

Lovely venue for a party, nothing is too much trouble for the professional and friendly staff and the canapés were out of this world.

Skirrid sausages, mash and greens and sea bass with potatoes and wilted greens, plus a side of triple cooked chips, pot of tea and two J20’s for £44.50 Very happy with the food, the service and the ambience and will definitely return!

We have had a fabulous stay over Easter , This hotel is in a fabulous location with a 24hr car park opposite just off the High street , we received a lovely welcome and out cases were taken to our room , as we booked direct we got £10 off food or drinks. Room was amazing spotless with a stunning comfortable bed gorgeous bathroom with loads of high end toiletries and soft fluffy towels and everything you could need including bottles water a large selection of coffee/teas etc , an air conditioning unit , large Tv , comfy leather settee loads of hangers , earplugs , books and loads of plug sockets we had a stunning room on the top floor we loved it . Every single member of staff were amazing and attentive , we ate In The restaurant on the Saturday evening and food was 5* and excellent value for money. Breakfast was pre ordered and worked brilliantly very high quality ingredients cooked to perfection one of the best breakfast we’ve had and we travel a lot. Locals were really friendly and had some great chats in the bar they also have tables in the square in front of the hotel too. Would highly recommend this hotel we will definitely be back the manager deserves full credit for the way she runs this business 5*

We met family in the King's Arms in Abergavenny, we hadn't been there before, neither had our family . It was half way for both parties so was an ideal place to meet . The staff were welcoming and friendly, and we had the best Sunday lunch we've ever had , it was delicious. It the first place we been asked if we wanted our beef pink or cooked through , that was wonderful. The vegetables were delicious, and the cheesecake sundae was amazing. This was our first trip here but definitely won't be our last .

Went for dinner - seriously tasty curry! One of the best green curry's I've ever had! Would highly recommend.

What a lovely atmosphere. Popped in for a few drinks and some lunch, all staff were clearly rushed off their feet but could not do enough for us. Such a credit to the owners for employing top Calibre staff. Our server Emily was attentive and cheery. Next time we are in the area we will definitely pop in again.

We stayed here in August 2019 and loved our stay in this beautiful hotel. And so when we decided to take our first break since the lockdowns of 2020 & 2021 it was an easy decision to come back. We were not disappointed, the hotel, restaurant and bar were spotless, the staff were the most welcoming bunch of people we've come across in the hospitality environment. Our room was great and we were delighted that the whirlpool bath was still there. Bed was really comfy. Breakfast was plentiful and of real quality ingredients. The bar was a great place to relax each evening. Great to see the hotel got through the lockdowns and has maintained or exceeded the great experience we had previously. We highly recommend this hotel, especially the room with the whirlpool bath!

I stayed here on business and am I glad I did! Everything from start to finish was exceptional - great food and drink, comfortable accommodation and most of all the staff couldn’t do enough and the service was flawless. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the Abergavenny area, look no further. The Kings Arms won’t disappoint!

Older vintage pub hotel with beams etc. Stayed two nights and was very comfortable. Friendly staff and well run. Found a carpark that did overnight parking very close. I'd definitely go back.

We called at short notice for a table of 5 on a Tuesday evening and they accommodated.The food and service were great with the only negative being they had sold out of chicken wings. I had the squid to start with the cheese burger for main. Worth a try

Called in at lunchtime for a drink. Ordered 2 Goat Cheese Bruschettas. They were excellent. Very tasty and although I was not really hungary I ate every morsel. Mixed with 2 Cloudy Apple Ciders a perfect lunch.

Second visit to stay before the Rugby in Cardiff. No rugby this time sadly but we decided to take up our booking anyway. Fabulous welcome. Amazing food. Incredibly friendly staff. A gem of a hotel. Thank you xx

This is a great place to relax and enjoy a traditional Sunday roast. Warm friendly atmosphere. Excellent food and wines. Attentive service

The Kings Arms is situated in the middle of Abergavenny, within easy walking distance of the shopping center. There is ample parking in the large car park which is adjacent to the hotel for around £6 per day. We stayed here for three days and found our room, which had a four poster bed,to be warm, quiet, clean and comfortable. There is a large function room at the rear of the hotel which is also used for watching things like rugby internationals on the big screen. The bar area is quite small, but it has a good atmosphere and is well frequented by both locals and visitors alike. Our breakfasts were tasty, and there is a choice of fruit, cereals,and a full English. The best feature of this hotel is without doubt its staff. They were so friendly, helpful, and efficient it was practically impossible to find any faults at all. I have to say that I have difficulty with my mobility and stairs are a real problem, and needless to say 16th Century Inns do not have lifts and escalators so it was a problem for me to get to our upstairs room. However all the other positive points I have raised would make me very keen to stay there again if in the Abergavenny area.

On arrival we were warmly welcomed and shown to room 9 an excellent room for 3 ladies having a night away for some retail therapy with 2 single beds and a double very comfortable beds and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed a lovely meal and the staff were so helpful and attentive. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice, I had eggs Benedict and would highly recommend it. There is live music on a Friday night which were told about before our arrival but it did affect us and it was lovely to see such a busy local pub/Hotel. I would like to thank all the staff for making our stay such a good one, we will return.

This is my second time staying at the Kings Arms and once again it did not disappoint. The staff were polite and attentive, taking steps to ensure that my stay was as comfortable as possible. The Inn itself is both a bustling weekend venue for the locals, but it also boasts a great culinary offering, notably its Sunday lunch menu. From a lodging perspective, the rooms are quite spacious which depending on the room, offers views of the local mountains.The Inn itself dates from the 16th century which adds to its character, although you will be required to take some short flights of steps to reach the upper rooms. Overall, this is a well kept up and operated Inn within the heart of town, which if you’re looking for lodging over and above the normal chain hotels, then I would highly recommend The Kings Arms.

On the day when the rain just didn't stop, when roads flooded, fields were submersed and tempers were frayed, we broke our journey back home at this wonderful hotel. Arriving in the dark, having been driven half mad by our satnav insisting we could go down one way streets, we walked through the door, a couple of drowned rats, to a lovely welcome. Room no 7 was where we would lay our heads for the night. It was warm, the mattress was really comfortable, there was a bath and plenty of hot water. Milk in a jug was provided on request for a much needed cup of tea!Supper was good, lamb shanks and fish and chips, followed by a rather nice brownie, raspberry sorbet and cream.A scotch and a Baileys over ice in the bar later on was spot on! And still the rain fell down! But the star of this show, it has to be said, was the breakfast. It was, without doubt, the best full English I have had for a long long time, and He agreed. My bacon was crispy (without having to ask!), the sausage tasty, the egg just right and the comfit tomatoes were delicious. A treat of fried bread on the side was very welcome and He, especially, enjoyed the Black pudding (not my thing, sorry)!The only downside of this review is that, as I said, the room was warm, so we opened the window at night and unfortunately, if you are a light sleeper like myself, the kitchen fan didn't make for a peaceful sleep. He slept soundly!But don't let that put you off, take earplugs for Room 7 and enjoy everything else, it was a great overnight stay. Thank you to everyone, highly recommend your hotel.

Absolutely brilliant weekend spent over New Year. This coaching inn is well kept and quite an experience. The hospitality and attention to detail by the staff was exemplary. The New Year celebration meal and band was excellent value and outstanding entertainment. Thank you to all at Kings Arms we really enjoyed our stay. Karen (Coventry)

Great first visit here on Christmas eve.Fast and friendly service from the staff. The food was excellent and fresh.All it seems to be at the moment is coffee shops in Abergavenny. It's nice to have a decent and honest pub to eat in.Will definitely be returning for a second visit.

Good location. Parking opposite to the Kings Arms is council run, so not expensive.Kings Arms is an old building so the floors are wobbly. Service is good. Breakfast is nice. We Central to to Abergavenny town centre. Its an old building so the floors are wobbly. Service is good. Breakfast is nice. We have stayed here and called in when shopping. Very comfortable.

15th Century inn. Quirky. Super staff and very good food. Comfy bedroom with 4 poster bed. Friendly bar area and banter with regulars. Nothing too difficult for staff to arrange. Centrally sited for the Town.

Fantastic I loved staying here recommended to any one with fantastic prices aswell I am decently making this my regular

Decided to have lunch here as I had never been before. Menu isn't huge but a nice selection. I decided on the steak sandwich which came with a side of chips. When it arrived I was so let down. The bread was shop bought sliced bread. I was expecting a better maybe even homemade bread. For the price it is a very big let down. Not impressed

Sorry to say this hotel food has gone very poor. We have been having lunch here for years and not a grumble but today poor. Change of Chef. My wife and I both had fish pie from meal of the day served with seasonal veg. No idea what the veg was some beetroot cubes and two other items. About 10 cubes in all. As for the pie the mash had no cheese on top and was not toasted. We could not find any salmon but did find fish skin. Sauce was poor. Oh such a pity. We noticed that the hotel has only 3 star food hygiene rate.

Stayed at The Kings Arms Hotel mid travels. Lovely meal in the evening, followed by live music. Very comfortable beds in our twin room. Fantastic cooked breakfast set us up for the day - didn't eat for the rest of the day!! Staff were excellent, nothing too much bother. Very polite and attentive. Will definitely be back next year on our Christmas visiting and shopping trip.

Had a truly delicious REAL roast beef dinner today - fine joint of meat cooked on the premises with proper roasts and pan juice gravy. I had mine with pink in the middle and my wife, Sue, had hers 'cooked through'. Both were succulent, tender and seriously tasty. Add charming personal service to the fine food and you have a total winner here. Perfect!

We were visiting my husbands dad who lives in Abergavenny, we popped in to the Kings Arms Restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and I love the slate placemats which is a modern twist on an old pub. I also enjoyed the fact it was the oldest pub in Abergavenny and had a blue plaque outside.

Really nice and cosy bar at the front servicing a great range of drinks. Lovely restaurant at the back with a good selection on the menu.

Booked here as we were staying in Abergavenny. Food was stunning, as was the service. Lovely pub for a couple of drinks before moving into the restaurant. Great menu with several dishes which appealed. Opted for goat’s cheese and chicken liver parfait for starters before risotto and salmon mains.....all fantastic. We opted to finish with cheese and port. Incredible value for the quality of food. Totally worth a visit - and a few returns - if you are in the area.
