The Beaufort Arms in Monmouthshire

We were very disappointed to find that this pub isn't dog friendly as their website says they are. We had driven about 20 mins to get to the pub and to find 2 signs one on either side of the door saying no dogs was a massive let down. They need to amend the wording on the website. We've taken it off our list of pubs to visit now !

Our friends were visiting from Bristol and we suggested a walk from Llanfoist to Gilwern along the old railroad and then back along the canal. We planned a quick pitstop at The Beaufort for a drink but ended up staying for lunch which was fabulous! There was so much choice (we chose the faggots and the steak pie) We were all really impressed. The food was delicious and great quality and value for money. And the service was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend lunch here. The Beaufort has a nice cosy family feel to it. Thank you! It did make the walk back hard work though with our full bellies! Ha Ha!

Walked the canal and stopped for a beer. Ended up eating lunch and it did not disappoint! Excellent pub food, great value for money and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

No fine dining here, but fantastic Pub food, great service from the young staff and it's cheap. Around £20 a head for mains, puddings for half the group and a mix of beers and soft drinks. TVs in the bar area a little distracting but still a good meal and great value.

Had a couple of lunchtime meals here and always very good Decided to try Sun lunch ,so disappointed .No fresh veg .peas hard .carrotts were small as in frozen or tinned ,Roast potatoes tasted as if cooked in oil and it was all quite bland very disappointed would not recommend a Sun lunch here .Staff great very helpful ,

This place was amazing, great staff, and the food was perfect. I opted for the southern fried chicken burger and for dessert I had the lemon cheesecake. Both were fantastic and my family were all happy with theirs too. One staff member was particularly busy but she still talked to me. All in all a great experience and would definitely recommend!

We were in the area for a few days and visited for Sunday lunch. Extremely good value, lots of vegetables brought separately which was good. Great value, very friendly efficient staff and friendly locals.

I popped in for food and gad their 16 oz gammon which is the best i have seen or tasted anywhere. First class, fairplay and staff very friendly too.

Great meal stop on our walk along the canal easy to find good menu lots of options lovely place pleasant staff great place to sit outside on nice days would recommend

Had lunch here one day and evening meal the next. Both fantastic meals, very good value. Very welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere

We were in the Abergavenny area and we wanted a pub lunch, so we found this place, which seemed to be very clean and welcoming. We ordered a main course and desert each, which I must say was worth every penny. My home made steak and kidney pie was delicious and so was the apple pie and custard. Service was prompt and the staff made us feel special. For me The Beaufort Armd ticked all the boxes.

We came here for dinner after our narrow boat holiday. It's maybe a 5 minute walk from the Narrow Boats so really convenient and was suggested to us by staff. Firstly, we arrived before dinner had started so were told there would be a wait but we could sit, relax and have some drinks whilst we looked over the menu. Lots of choice on the menu so everyone will find something. It was maybe half an hour before official dinner service started that our orders were taken and we actually received our meals before the stated dinner time! The food we had was lovely (interesting cauliflower bites which gave usually bland cauliflower a nice kick, creamy garlic mushrooms). My main (Katsu curry) was delicious - really creamy, plenty of flavour but not spicy. Added a side salad which was plentiful. If we're back in the area, this is somewhere we'd come back to!

Fantastic pub, Greeted by a great front of house called Mal, a short friendly man with impeccable manners and great service. Had a lovely conversation about how Mal ended up working in the pub and it seems hospitality really helped him turn things around. It was felt that Mal really cares about the costumers as if he’s not working he stays for a drink with them, seeing this gave me a good sense of community lovely to see how this village pub brings people together

Fantastic hospitality very helpful owner and son team behind the bar 10/10 food and plenty of it Will definitely come back

Excellent food Excellent staff Excellent atmosphere 10/10 Keep up the good work Steak was cooked to perfection Curry was hot Deserts were to die for

We had two delicious meals here - lunch and dinner- during our short stay in Gilwern. The staff and local villagers were warm and welcoming, and we really enjoyed our food! Thankful for this great pub!

Nicely decorated, clean and welcoming pub. The staff were all friendly and efficient. The menu comprises all the pub classics. Our food was well presented. I liked the slice of fresh pineapple with the gammon and the homemade coleslaw with the burger. Nice touches.

Stopped here for dinner on narrow boat holiday. Staff were superb, friendly, helpful and professional. Food portions were huge and tasty. No issues, highly recommended.

Excellent Sunday roast whilst on holiday with Roadhouse Narrowboats, good food and friendly staff. We had our dog with us so we had too eat outside as no dogs allowed inside. Would go again

On our last day of our canal trip we decided to have Sunday lunch at the Beaufort Arms in Gilwern. Just a short stroll from the canal this was a fantastic way to end our amazing week on the canal. The welcome was genuine, the...

Very obliging landlord, friendly and helpful. Enjoyed an evening meal of breaded plaice whilst husband had steak pie. They appear to do a roaring trade in Sunday lunches which were being enjoyed when we called in to check if they served food on Sunday evenings.

Great coffee and carrot cake beside the fire in this Inn packed full of history on show. Lovely stop on a rainy day!

Happened upon this great little local pub when looking for accommodation! Evening meal was very good. Accommodation was excellent, clean, comfortable and warm. Breakfast was HUGE and beautifully cooked. Landlord and landlady were very accommodating and very friendly. Certainly worth a second visit!

We called in as ‘walk ins’ as a family group of 7 including a 2 year old on a Saturday evening and were able to get a table in just under an hour. The food was beautifully cooked and very tasty. My wife is gluten...

Small pleasant local pub. Landlord very friendly, beer prices very reasonable, view of mountains from terrace at the rear of pub priceless.

We chose to grab some food at the Beaufort Arms becasue it was close to the B &B we were staying at.If your looking for A la carte this is not for you but if your like me and you want good honest pub grub...

Old restaurant with not very friendly owner. One meal ok but second stink. I had not good feeling in this restaurant.

Called in and had an outstanding meal, we both had steak which was cooked to perfection the way we asked for it. Plenty of chips, mushrooms and onion rings with it. Very good value and good atmosphere.

Nos fuimos al pub de nuestro barco alquilado, aliviado de encontrar abierta como muchos a lo largo de esta franja parecía estar cerrado. El menú de noche ofrecía una selección razonable de comida de bar. Curry de mi socio y mi papa estaban tanto superficial, muy caliente, y está bien. Las patatas fritas con curry estaban bien pero me hubiera recibido más queso en la papa. Las cervezas eran buenas. El personal era muy agradable y el pub es, obviamente, popular entre sus clientes habituales.

We popped in for dinner on a Wednesday in July – friendly welcome - men gathered around the bar – talk turning to congestion on M4 and Little Mix – then Ed Sheeran – pensions – youth employment – each topic changed as one left and another arrived – lively conversations...

Tenia muy buena pinta por afuera y entramos para picar o tomar algo. Lo primero que nos dicen es que no venden patatas que para eso nos fueramos al fish and chips.seguimos tomando y hablando entre nosostros y de repente insultan a una amiga nuestra diciendole que se callara que ese lenguaje no se utiliza en inglaterra, la palabra f*** (refiriendose a copular). La avergonzaron en publico y se rieron de ella. Nunca mas volveremos a ese pub que discrimina a los extranjeros. Aviso para los demas: no podeis hablar libremente en ingles o os pueden insultar, mejor hablad en otro idioma que no lo entienden.

Called in by chance as the chippie was closed, glad we did! Good pint, nice atmosphere, and food freshly cooked. Recommended.

Fui con mi familia para comer el domingo, como vegetariano soy bastante quisquilloso con la comida, sin embargo, desgraciadamente no hay opción vegetariana estaba disponible. A pesar de esto, el encargado hizo todo lo posible para proporcionar una comida agradable, nada era demasiado problema y todo el personal era p! Campesina, atento y servicial. Además, las comidas son muy razonables ofrece porciones grandes. Recomiendo encarecidamente

A rare gem of a pub with a friendly warm welcome. Great food at an honest price. Highly recommend the Beaumont arms Sunday lunch, just what you need after a hike in the hills.

Stopped here for lunch on our way through Wales. A warm welcome with prompt and friendly service. Freshly cooked food - not your "fast food" which has been microwaved! Highly recommended.

Cómo encontrar el nivel tranquilizador de hospitalidad y alojamiento muy alta. No dudé que se pongan en contacto con Andrea y Keith una vez nueva iba al Festival de nuevo. Ciclismo Abergavenny De nuevo, una excelente bienvenida y primera clase de alojamiento. Y sí, de nuevo, el ambiente en el bar absolutamente incomparables: verdaderamente amable, respetuoso y acogedor de los huéspedes. Se puede conseguir algo mejor que esto!

although a small village pub/ b and b, you wont go wrong visiting this little gem quite a varied menu...

Friendly local, like we all used to have in the good old days. Choice of beer, cider and wine. Simple menu of good value hearty meals to soak up the beer. Great value, cash only pub, where they take their darts seriously and win. Enjoy

called in here for sunday lunch both had beef plate was full meat veg came separate and gravy boat all in all was very nice

We went into the pub not knowing what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by very friendly & welcoming staff who could not do enough for us. We went for the 2 course Lunch Menu which was served until 4pm. The food was amazing we loved both courses. We would go back again the next time we are in the area. It would be a definite recommendation to any one who asks.

Keith and Andrea provided not only great food and wonderful company but also helped us out with a ride to Abergavenny which was above and beyond any responsibility of a restaurant owner. Keith was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with my wife's needs for gluten-free food. They've been in business for over 25 years and We can highly recommend their establishment.

This pub is rather old fashioned inside and the menu's we were handed had seen better days, in truth we were having second thoughts about ordering and wished we had gone to Gilwern's award winning chippie. When the food came it was fab, well presented and excellently cooked. Good old fashioned pub food, nothing fancy but great.

As the Navigation Inn, Bridgend Inn and Lion Inn Hotel are at present closed and the Corn Exchange only serves food on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights choice for a sit down meal in Gilwern are now extremely limited. There is the highly renown Fish and Chip shop but they offer a take away only service. Travelling the canal we wanted a sit down meal and so went to the Beaufont Arms. Don't be put off by its slightly faded appearance. We received a very pleasant welcome from the lady behind the bar and a nod and greeting from a number of regulars seated around the bar nursing their pints and half pints.The menu is not overly extensive, a couple of different stakes, Fish, scampi, salads, pies and curry. It was curry night so I had a chicken Curry, the wife scampi. What was served was well cooked, tasty, and covered very large plates. The curry had taste, huge lumps of chicken and came with Rice, peas and chips! The scampi was of decent quality, the chips large (in size and volume) and peas and small salad garnish. Other boaters sitting near us had salads and pies. Whilst the servings were generous little was returned uneaten by anyone. Always a good sign.The beer was well kept and they have a guest beer as well as the house ales.I think this is traditionally described as "Harty" and if that's your thing you will not be disappointed.

This is a pub run by a couple. Real friendly and customer focused. The menu is small. I think that is because they make homemade food and are only with the two of them. So small menu and good food. The food is down to earth real pub food.

We had a table of five there on Sunday 18th January. I have to say it was a very average Sunday Roast! As a non meat eater the fish was nice but the whole meal was distictly average and not cheap! I have eaten at lunch time there and had the fish and chips. Fish was mostly batter, I did complain but there was no offer to replace or give me a discount. I will not be rushing back to this place.

The beaufort has a beautiful beer garden and as a result of seeing that and finding everyone to be very friendly, we went back that night for a meal indoors. Some of the seating is a little tired but the food was good and plentiful and service timely and friendly.

Keith and Andrea have kept this popular friendly village pub for over 25 yrs. Our Sunday lunches were great value with generous portions. The Flowers real ale is a favourite. We also went on a Friday evening and watched a local darts match.

A local pub offering a small menu with basic furnishings this local pub proved to be a good find. The publican and local drinkers were friendly and hospitable, with one local insisting he buy us a drink as we had travelled so far to be in his village! Although the menu is limited the plaice and the steak & kidney pie were so good we returned again for another meal several days later on our way back to the boat base in Llanfoist. From the canal, a 5 minute downhill walk from bridge 103 (Gilwern bridge).

Went for family Birthday Sunday lunch (14). Andrea and Keith were their usual very pleasant selves and catered for our every need including 2 who wanted a meal instead of Sunday lunch, and a child's meal! We were celebrating 30th birthdays and a great time was had by all. Beer was good too. Many thanks to The Beaufort Arms.

This was our last night on the Mont and Brec canal and we enjoyed a delicious evening pub meal. Staff very friendly. It was close to our boat so we didn't have to walk too far. There are some delightful shops - butcher and baker - in this village too.
