The Angel in Monmouthshire

A true traditional friendly pub.

Came for drinks during a walk. Very nice place to stop off!

Friendly staff and locals. Good beer. 8 of us had a great meal on Thursday night. Extensive and varied menu for a village pub Well worth a visit.

A great village pub with super friendly staff and locals. The real ale was in top condition and went down very well. Unfortunately we couldn’t try the food as we visited on a Monday, and the kitchen was closed.

Only found The Angel by chance and was not disappointed. I had a fish soup which was delicious and the other half had a wonderful plaice. Good beer also. Came Friday lunchtime and it was a little bit quiet, shall return soon for an evening meal.

Nice very old pub, very nicely decorated interior.

Wow, what a great local - really friendly. Loved the bar snacks

Banging food banging drinks banging company

The food here is amazing and the atmosphere to go with it. Jim and Chloe are a fabulous team and it's a really local country pub with an excellent choice of drinks. Definitely worth a stop after a good walk.

From the 11th Century castle to the pub in Grosmont is just a few steps, but if you can forget the 21st Century you're in another dimension. It's a fine olde traditional public house, usually serving meals, but not on the evening we showed up as there were preparations for a wedding. We settled for a round of beers and some snacks. It was all good! We also observed that there are music evenings and various instruments hang on the walls. Not to mention the posters: The Rolling Stones in Abergavenny; a blues festival with Fleetwood Mac and Jethro Tull in Grosmont in May 1969, etc. Some of the people at the bar - including us - looked as if we'd been left behind in the 1970s and were glad to be back. We downed the drinks and time slipped away.

We just stopped for a drink, and the atmosphere was everything you dreamed of for a pub in a Welsh village!

Sunday lunch with friends. Lovely old inn with character in the middle of a pretty village. Prior to Covid we visited on numerous occasions, especially on ‘specials’ nights and always had a good time with good food. We hadn’t however visited since then or since the current owner took over but were encouraged to do so by the positive reviews, even though we noted that the menu had changed quite considerably and prices increased. Bearing all this in mind, whilst the pub itself, service and drinks remained excellent, we were a bit disappointed by the quality of the food presented. One of the roast beefs was tough, most of the food was warm but not hot, the roast potatoes were all uniform in size/shape and may have been frozen, the crackling/belly pork piece with the pork loin was soft and inedible and portion sizes were only average. Overall we felt value for money was below average and left a but underwhelmed. We will probably return for a drink or snack but unlikely for a full meal.

Such a warm and friendly pub, with great beers and amazing food I have had for ... so long.. absolutely fantastic. A must for everyone

Nice ambience and nice place to go. Lovely village position. Quirky

Enjoyed the most delicious Sunday roast. Big pile of fresh veg. Very generous portions all round. Roaring fire. And to top it all such a friendly vibe around us! Bravo chef and waiting staff!

Fantastic food with some wonderful twists to the menu- it was very difficult to choose as the choices were so good. Excellent waitress - Zara who could not do enough to make your visit even more enjoyable, exceptionally attentive towards us and our 2 dogs, can not speak more highly of her. Would definitely recommend.

The most delicious meal my friends and I have had in ages. Locally sourced Monmouthshire beef to start followed by cod loin. Very reasonably priced for the high end quality food served. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Best pub for miles with great food. And getting better all the time.

We met friends for lunch here. It's friendly and full of character, but more to the point, I can't recommend the food highly enough. We had three different dishes from the mains and the desserts and they were all excellent

Charming surroundings, super beer which is well kept, great landlords who really looks after you, good prices, the food menu looks great and the food is of excellent quality. An instant hit for me. Listening a local chap playing the guitar and finding everyone to be so friendly made for a lovely evening. Update - This place is brilliant. You feel so welcome, there are some really good local musicians who visit and the food is absolutely excellent. Another update - went in for a meal and the food is amazing.

Brilliant warm and welcoming pub great staff not eaten here but the food looks good 😋

Lovely traditional pub with much more than traditional food. The menu is great and the food really delivers. Portion sizes are generous too. Squid and rabbit for starters, beef burger and lamb mains. All delicious. Warm, welcoming pub run by lovely people. Highly recommended.

Thank you Chloe, Jim, Margie and all the team for always providing such fabulous food, an excellent selection of drinks, a brilliant atmosphere and live music is never too far away! We recently had a Sunday roast for 10 of us, and the lunch was delicious, with all the trimmings! Service as always was brilliant! My husband and I also got married in the village this summer and the pub were so welcoming to our guests who headed to the pub on their arrival! The pub hosted us for a Roast dinner but this time around 30 of us attended, again everyone was so impressed by the lunch! We also had live music in the afternoon which was fab! The Angel inn is the best pub!!

I cannot recommend the Angel highly enough. The food and service is absolutely superb. My partner and I had dinner cooked by Jim the chef, the very best pub burger ever. My partner had Ginger salmon dish which she also said was superb, the accompanying salad beautifully fresh. Our best pub food by a country mile. Great selection of real ale, recommend the Butty Bach. Also joined in with some local musicians for a jam. Guitar selection in the pub, if you’re up for it. Lovely log fire. The most welcoming pub you could wish for. High praise for Chloe too, the landlady who made us feel like locals.

Good food good beer and lovely staff a very pleasant evening

Lovely old fashioned pub, in a beautiful village.

Fabulous roast dinner for a family party of 30 following our sons wedding! The food was outstanding with excellent service. Lovely little pub, we would highly recommend a visit here! The best roast dinner we've had a long time!

Family friendly, wholesome place with good cooked food and a selection of desserts.

Lovely meal at The Angel - the twice-baked cheese soufflé was perfection; yummy Spanish seafood stew too. Others had the chicken liver parfait, beef burger, and veggie pasta (which looked amazing, and plenty of it), all really good. Sadly no room for the puds except one sneaky ice-cream. Excellent value and delicious wines too. Such a great village pub - buzzy and friendly, but still laid-back vibes. Perfect evening.

It's my local and the best pub for miles around!!

An absolutely great pub . Terrific atmosphere always and the centre of the community .The locals are so welcoming and we love coming down from The Highlands whenever we can .

A lovely country village pub, most certainly the hub of the Grosmont community. It was a beautiful day so we sat out the beer garden with our Gwynt y Draig cider and a couple of bags of crisps. There was a mix of locals and families with children of all ages and dogs. A really vibrant but chilled atmosphere. The menu looked incredible and when we return, we will participate in a good meal. It’s certainly a recommendation to stop off here if you visit the castle and/or church.

A proper pub in a lovely village. Excellent seating area outside and there's also a boules pitch!

As someone living in Manchester & who visits the Ribble Valley regularly (which prides itself on Gastro pub food), this is without doubt the best Sunday Roast I have had in YEARS. Amazingly good value. Top quality beef, massive portions, delicious veg (incl Asparagus & Tenderstem Broccoli) not to mention the roasties, gravy and yorkshires. MUST eat here.

Absolutely fabulous Sunday Lunch! Can't wait to come back. Have recommended friends and looking forward to another meal soon! Definitely 5 star service and food! Well done Jim Hamilton and team.

A cosy traditional pub, in a very picturesque village, a great find! Very welcoming and friendly all round. Our meals superb, l had the Skrei Cod which was out of this world, followed by a perfect home made fig and honey rice pudding, delicious. Definitely will be back!

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely go again.

We visited The Angel Inn on a cold February Sunday for lunch and would fully recommend. The log fire was burning, the food was delicious (with generous portion sizes and good value), plus lovely local ales and cider. The service was very friendly and quick too, would 100% recommend!

Whilst on a day out visiting the three castles, on our visit to Grosmont we decided to call into the Angel for a pint. We had a friendly welcome and sat in front of the log fire to enjoy our drinks. Our dog was welcomed too and spoilt with treats. What a great little pub!

Lovely cosy pub tucked away in a quiet village. Super tasty food with lovely presentation. A lively vibe once the band turned up as well. A real gem!

The Angel Inn is wonderful! Such a lovely welcome and chatty bar staff. prices for drinks were reasonable and there was ample choice. We didn't eat but the food looked and smelt delicious! A cat walked in and settled down by the wood burner! Would love to come back again to this cosy pub. 💛

Lovely food, good beer, friendly staff , great atmosphere.

What a fantastic find. Delightful pub, really lovely, welcoming couple who run it and some fabulous locals too. They served scotch eggs at the bar to go with an excellent pint or 2 or 3. We haven't felt that welcome in a pub for years. Can't wait to go back.

Great pub, the menu had a wide choice, all of which looked amazing. I had the pork which was delicious, one of the best pub meals I've ever had. The Jim Ramsey Trio was playing the night we were there which made for a great evening.

Lovely village pub with and old local feel. Food was delicious and service was great. We had a lovely evening. If we are ever in the area again we will be returning!

Country pub. All the trimmings. Great castle. Nice church. Go have a gander. Potter about. Oherwise get yourself in the Angel for a half dozen pints.

We went to the Angel for Sunday Lunch the roast dinner was spectacular plenty of beef cooked to perfection, crispy roast potatoes and yorkshires the size of a mini. The starter of King prawn and scallops was heavenly I could have eaten a casserole bowl full of this, the masala sauce was perfection, the scallops just melted in my mouth you could lose yourself in the moment not even 20 of each wouldn't have been enough!!! This pub is a little ray of sunshine and well worth a visit. Keep up the good work guys can't wait to come back. X

Stopped here for supper last week while staying nearby. The village itself is stunning and worth a pre-dinner wander. The service was impeccable, attentive and timely without being overbearing. Our dog was taken care of just as well as we were, with water and a biscuit promptly arriving alongside our drinks! The food was equally as spectacular, we had the lamb and the mushroom and truffle ravioli which were both outstanding. Would highly recommend, the best meal by far of our visit to Monmouthshire.

Great food; great beer; great staff. Food way above standard pub fare. Thanks for the top camp site suggestion... 3 chaps walking 3 castles

This is a fabulous pub in Welsh Countryside. A seasonal menu with a good variety of choices. Food was spectacular, all freshly cooked and nicely presented. Service was second to none and the staff were very friendly. Booking recommended.

Lovely pub. Been numerous times over the years. Good selection of beers and real ales. Location great. Sometimes hard to actually get to the bar though due to the 'locals' standing at and leaning on it. However they are a pubs 'bread and butter' and effectively keep the place open, not visitors like me, however frequent. Nice outdoor seating areas as well.

Great staff and cook Smiles and service, and the vibes just wow Best Pub food I ever had it’s on a top level Thanks for that Sunday + have pétanque I’m the back

If you are staying in the village, a must to drink with rhe locals

We rented a property local to the Angel Inn over Easter weekend. We booked a table in advance - a good job we did as they were fully booked all weekend! The food was beautiful & enjoyed by all. Friendly staff & would definitely return if in the area again. Thanks.

We were staying locally for a week and we drank here a few times. We managed to book a table for our last night and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing, service friendly and helpful especially in producing meals for our two young children off menu. Would definitely highly recommend. They regularly hold live music nights, even the warm up sounded good! Just a word of warning the toilets are outside of the pub at the end of the building.

Fantastic, proper pub. Loved it.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch at this very interesting pub. The quality and quantity were both perfect and at £22.50 for 3 courses was great value. Staff were all very nice

Fabulous food, great people, lots of atmosphere. Traditional old style country pub, independently owned!

Absolutely superb Sunday meal. 3 courses for £22.50. Highly recommended this place. Although first time we went it was a bit chilly in the pub.

Took the whole family (and dog) to this charming pub/restaurant in Grosmont, outside Abergavenny. Real old place, but warm and friendly inside. We had starters, beef roasts and desserts, all plates empty which says it all. Served by a charming young lady who could not have done more. Thank you for a great experience, we will be back for sure.

It was a cold windy day when I visited to this provided a warm and friendly place to rest

Fantastic Sunday lunch, with a warm welcome and brilliant hospitality from team. Thanks Zara for great table service.

A lovely way to spend the evening. Warm and welcoming as always, Gorgeous food and great service. My date wasn’t bad either x

Just wanted to share what a great place The Angle Inn is at Grosmont. Chole and Jim are such welcoming hosts, and have steared the Angle in a really positive direction. As an occasional visitor and usually on my own, I'm facinated by the wonderful characters that are the regualrs, and I've never felt uncomfortable. They've done a great job in insuring that despite having the character and warmth of an old Welsh Inn, the modern traveler never feels out of place .The selection of gins, wine and beer is expansive and very well priced, and though I haven't eaten there for a while, over-hearing other customers, the quality is 'superb'. It's certainly at the heart of the community, and has also taken mine. Can't wait to come back soon. Keep up the good work. Diolch yn fawr. Alex

WOW WOW WOW!!Great menu, food was unbelievably tasty and presented as though it was a Michelin star restaurant. We were a group of five and we all tried something different off the menu.No complaints at all, we were all chuffed to pieces.Pub is mega cosy, staff were great, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Beer was phenomenal and well cared for.Definitely be back again.Can’t thank you enough.

What a find! Great country pub with great beer (Wye Valley) and food on Sundays. Sunday lunch is not exactly an economy meal, but the quality is truly exceptional. Inventive dishes with quality ingredients. Some of the best squid I've had in years as a starter and the rice pudding with mascarpone and honey was to die for. Note that the choices do vary. Main courses were excellent - in addition to the usual there was seafood chowder (brilliant) and a venison dish (equally great). Already booked (essential) to go back!

Great promise for New Years Eve meal but unfortunately all cancelled fairly last minute due to covid contacts within the pub stafg.

Good pub good service and excellent food nice setting

We had a really excellent evening meal here and thoroughly enjoyed the great food, lovely ambience and cosy setting. We did have to miss pudding though due to the kitchen being overwhelmed which was a shame as that would have finished off our evening perfectly!

Booked in for Sunday Lunch for family of 5, whilst no dedicated children's menu they offered dishes at half size for half price which was amazing value. All of us had roast lunch which was high quality and very tasty, particularly the gravy, cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire puddings! Drinks were very reasonably priced and the beer particularly well kept. Overall a loverly experience!

Excellent food in a great little pub.

Excellent pub and great service.

Great pub for a pint outside and very friendly staff.

Lovely ale,fantastic meal perfect service . A very different kind of lunchtime menu . Well worth travelling to find something a little unique..many y thanks will be back very soon . Thank you. Gwyn.

We booked for three people on a Wednesday evening. What a buzzing atmosphere to welcome us as we waited to be booked into the pub. As it was a birthday celebration we decided to have 3 courses each and they were gorgeous. Every aspect of the meal was outstanding, a wide ranging menu, wonderful local ingredients all well prepared and cooked to perfection. Jim is such a great chef.Wine and beer were also very good. There is plenty of space both inside and out, Chloe and Jim have worked very well to make both drinkers and those having a meal feel very welcome. The food is up there with places like the Walnut tree but with a cosy pub atmosphere.

We visited during a few days away in Monmouthshire. What a treat! I honestly think this was the best pub meal I’ve ever had. 3 amazing courses and excellent wine, really reasonable price. Nothing to dislike, definitely worth a visit.

Such an amazing little place. The atmosphere is extremely warm and welcoming as are the hosts and the staff. Great selection of drinks available and I heard many other customers raving about the food. A real heart of the community place. I can't wait to go back. Oh.. and what a great garden in the back, would live to play some pétanque someday on their too.

Lovely traditional village pub. Wye Valley Ales on offer and reasonably priced. Definitely one to visit, especially if you’re walking the 3 Castles.

Really lovely pub - went for live music and table service was excellent. Looking forward to eating there now as beer and wine choices were delicious and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic village pub. Very welcoming and comfortable. Food is incredible and the selection of drinks is great. Plus- Savvy Blanc as house option 🙌

Great food, perfect location and staff

Lovely place really looked after us

Having wanted to try them out for ages and with the weather so good we ventured over to Grosmont today. The welcome was great and we sat outside in glorios sun drinking a Butty Bach and my wife cider while we waited for the freshly cooked meals which were delicious and well presented, My Haddock and King Prawn Rissoto was superb. And a trio of ice creams as dessert was just perfect. Would I go again? you couldn't stop me. Thanks Jim and Chloe.

The meal we had was absolutely wonderful lunch of Welsh Lamb faggots, peas, mash and gravy, as well as the Seafood Risotto. We cannot recommend this place high enough, the food was cooked to perfection. Not only was the food great, but the ale we had (Ludlows) made this meal fit for a king. You have got to try it. Thank You Angel Inn.

I've said this before elsewhere... Perfect pub, perfect village, perfect patrons, perfect hosts and perfect food. Nothing not to like.

What I can say about The Angel Inn Grosmont apart from bloody fantastic. The food is gorgeous, if you leave here hungry there's something wrong with you. The staff cannot do enough for you and cater for all your needs , Jim and Chloe are the best. Would highly recommend.

So good to be back here , the staff are doing a fantastic job . Thanks to all

Perfect pub in a perfect village in a perfect country. Nothing not to like.

Following a very wet and windswept walk around the castle it was a welcome respite to have a hearty meal under the awning in the beer garden. The food was excellent, a lovely risotto with wye valley asparagus and a perfectly poached duck egg followed by a delicious sticky toffee pudding. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I will be coming back!

Came for lunch after recent re-reopening and had a delightful lunch on the outside (covered) patio, high quality food (fish and ploughman's particularly good) with attentive and efficient service, attractive food and wine menu, charming and friendly hosts, all much to like and can’t wait to come again.

Popped in for a few drinks and a bite, couldn’t be happier with everything. The people who run this place clearly know a thing or two about hospitality, I have never felt more welcome.

We moved to Grosmont in February 2020, just before lockdown, and throughout a difficult year, The Angel has been a beacon for the whole community. Chloe and Jim are friendly and genuine hosts, who make us proud to be residents in this unique corner of the countryside. All the staff greet us with a smile and treat us as friends, while the food is simply extraordinary. The takeaway roast dinners and fish & chips have kept us coming back week after week. We can't wait until a return to normality when we can experience The Angel without restrictions attached. We are immeasurably lucky to have a pub this excellent on our doorstep.

Arrived in the area after a two hour drive towing a caravan and was advised that The Angel was the place to eat. We arrived at 13:35 and sat at a table in the rear garden where we waited for some attention. Ten minutes later, we were handed a drinks menu and obligatory Track & Trace forms. Twentyfive minutes later and after my wife had been into the pub to seek a member of staff, we decided that customers aren't important to this pub and left. On our way to the car, we noticed the only member of serving staff talking to someone on the pavement outside the pub, who were obviously more important than us. If any reader wants to visit a decent pub, The Hunters Moon Inn is only 4.6 miles away!

We were both really looking forward to our Easter Sunday roast takeaway today and we weren’t disappointed! My wife had the veggie wellington and I had the lamb and their cask ale. Both meals were delicious and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and amount of food considering it was a takeaway. We will definitely be coming back :) Thank you again!

Food fanbloodytastic, lovely staff such a nice change.

Fantastic pub with a great selection of local real ales and ciders.

Amazing food and very friendly pub. You have to visit it!

Lovely evening meal - my husband is still raving about the grouse! Usual excellent service (no grousing here! :) )

Great ambience and the food was exceptional.

Wonderful food, well kept beer, friendly locals, super service....and all in a stunning setting! !!
