The Castle Inn in Monmouthshire

Had a great Sunday uncharted for 6 today. Lovely food and great service.

Food was amazing. Best cheesecake I've ever had 🙌🏼

We stopped here for lunch it was a wonderful experience the food was delicious and good value.

Yup, lovely place, but .... I do think if something is listed on the menu and it's out of stock, you should be told. I ordered "koftas with a rocket salad". There was no rocket. They wouldn't have served it without koftas and not told me. I might have liked the opportunity to reevaluate my decision. That said, there were good choices on the menu. I would go again if it was local to me.

Stopped off in Usk on the way back from Cardiff with some friends - I can honestly say this was a delight of a pub. Really well looked after with a smart/country vibe going on and a selection of local ales. We had a venison scotch egg and some halloumi and it was seriously good. The youngish barmaid (who I wish I could name so as to give her the kudos) was excellent - friendly, quick, poured a good pint and just make us feel at ease. Best pub in Usk? Hard to say but it's up there.

What a fantastic local pub. Food is spectacular and drinks menu are well presented. Staff are well trained and wonderful with the customers. Well done, Charlotte and staff.

We were staying nearby and our host recommend the Castle who were able to fit us in at fairly short notice. Had a great atmosphere on a Saturday night and the food was nice.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Don't expect fast food.

Auch wenn es auf den ersten Blick von außen nicht so aussieht hat das Inn ein grandioses Restaurant. Perfektes Essen und toller Service. Wow. Zimmer sind sehr rustikal und typisch. Immer wieder meine Wahl

Great pub, dog friendly and very accommodating.

What a gem of a place to stay. This hotel is so inviting as you walk through the door you just felt so comfortable with it's surroundings. We were greeted by a lovely lady who explained everything to us about the establishment and then showed us to our Dog friendly room which was great very clean bedding was spotless couldn't fault it. We loved the the idea with the fridge in your room filled with exactly what you need. The Continental breakfast outside the room had everything. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at this hotel as you couldn't fault it. Thankyou we will be Back. This hotel is Definitely a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ also very reasonable.

We stayed 2 nights and loved it!

Went there for sunday lunch and is by far the best I've had anywhere, 8 hour slow cooked beef was awesome, I was shocked by the price as it was too cheap for the quality that you got, highly recommended.

Good food. Good selection of items on menu. Experience spoilt by dog, belonging to kitchen staff, which was left in a car and barked continously.

Beautiful pub, great atmosphere. Had a long walk with the family and were all looking forward to a Sunday Roast. Unfortunately there wasn't a vegetarian Sunday Roast option so my family chose to leave so I could enjoy a roast with them. It wasn't a problem going else where but as a business 30% of the population are veggie or vegan and over 30% of the uks favourite meal is a roast dinner. It's a shame to lose the custom of 4 paying adults when roast potatoes, veg and a veg gravy would be an easy option to offer. Lovely staff and setting. I just believe you're tills would be fuller if you catered for everyone.

Very nice pub in the heart of Usk, with good food and a nice choice of ales. Had the fish and chips - nice. Excellent cup of coffee. Nice garden at the rear. Would recommend.

Love place for a pint, reasonable price and good beer garden

Had dinner at this pub last night and the food that came out of the kitchen looked fantastic. We ordered Fish and Chips, to be told there was one portion left. One of us ordered that, and the other the home made burger. Food came out, and the fish was half the size of that served to the other guests. The burger was so salty that my partner could only eat half of it. Such a shame, and I should have followed my instinct and just had a drink. Sorry guys, but you should ask your diners if they are enjoying their meals.

We visited this lovely old pub right on Twyn Square for dinner. My partner had the steak and mushroom pie and I had the lasagne, both were delicious and piping hot. To follow I had the lemon posset and my partner had the white chocolate cheesecake. Also delicious. Service friendly and efficient. Only slight gripe was we were seated at a table with patio style wicker chairs with cushions. I didn't find the chair very comfortable.

Having had the pleasure of staying here before, this year we popped in to try the Sunday lunch,what a meal absolutely fantastic, more like a 5 star high end hotel, mouth watering, by the way the bar meals are just as good, thank you

Popped in for lunch as we were passing through. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Lovely old pub with a really nice feel to it. Food was very tasty. Would highly recommend.

Good food at sensible price, will go again.

Spent a night here, was lovelly with great facilities in the room as in a well stocked fridge which most b&bus don't provide really good value for money would stay again

No food on day we visited but normally do food has restaurant and lovely garden at the rear. Staff very friendly.

Had a lovely lunch with my partner and our dog. Friendly attentive staff, food well-seasoned and served quickly. Would recommend!

A mid town tavern serving hot delicious food by brilliant and feiendly staff

Lovely little pub in a beautiful village good pint as well as a great Welsh service

Absolutely excellent visit - staff were so friendly on our arrival - lunch really good and freshly cooked . So clean and fresh flowers everywhere.Lovely atmosphere.

Really nice place. Car parking outside on road and additional in the square car park. A few yards away. Old and characterful.

Excellent Sunday Lunch, with pink and slow cooked beef on offer (with other choices). Lovely friendly staff.

Delicious food served well and considered food value in a nice atmosphere. What's not to like?

Booked on the Saturday evening for lunch on Sunday. Very obliging and put us 6 adults and 2 children in the marquee and even lit the Woodburner for us. Fantastic Sunday lunch and cheesecake!

A great spot for lunch or dinner. Food was really delicious, very well presented, amazing quality and great for the price! Staff was lovely, compliments to the chef! Absolutely lovely 😋😋

Brilliant pub, very friendly with excellent food !

Sad occasion but staff very efficient .

Had a lovely night there highly recommended

What a find...... not very often I give 5* all round but a last minute booking for our return journey home, following a trip to Shropshire to buy a motorhome. Wonderful dog friendly Inn situated in the pretty village of Usk. Very warm welcome on arrival buy a member of staff, who showed us to our spacious room in the attic of this lovely country pub. As we arrived early evening we got a well needed drink, before we were shown to our table. Food was amazing, excellent value for money and served by friendly attentive staff. Great night's sleep, with a continental breakfast provided in the room, small fridge even had fresh milk, fruit juices & yoghurt in. Highly recommended & if travelling again nearby wouldn't hesitate in booking again. Thank you.

The meal was nice and the service was good but there was no disabled toilet and as a wheelchair user it is very frustrating not being able to access the facilities independently like everyone else.

Disappointed. Stayed overnight. Been here before but not the same as I remember. Shower not working properly and bar closing early even though really busy time.

Visited again today. Great food and ambiance

Very good experience had a nice service and lovely atmosphere. Really recommend to visit.

Great place first time I've been. You had better be hungry cause the portions are massive. The price a bit on the steep side but at least you get bang for ur buck.

A lovely pub, with a simple menu, serving great food. Good value for money and will definitely be returning.

We circled around the area in search of a friendly pub after a visit to Raglan Castle. Came with my 11 year old. Very friendly and accommodating. Lovely food. Delicious. And great selection within a price range to accommodate everyone’s budget.

Only popped in for a pint but lovely atmosphere. Very welcoming staff. Will definitely be back.

Attended a get together as a group of 8 Fabulous food service and atmosphere. Looking forward to returning Highly recommend the curry, a friend had fish and that looked good and they confirmed it was. Generous portions

Great food I would highly recommend

Little gem of a place in the heart of wales. Dog friendly and staff very helpful. The prices were excellent and will be coming back. 5 min walk to a lovely dog friendly pub with open fire and cask ales.

Nice food , not too busy , not too expensive either

What a warm welcome from the pleasant man behind the bar. Lovely quaint pub and great beer.

Booked the castle Inn , for a few nights stay ,as a base for the wetlands visit, what a great location, very friendly staff along with very welcoming locals, dog 🐕 friendly which is a bonus, nice relaxing room, clean , overall would definitely use again due to the friendly locals & staff ,

Lovely pub, great friendly service and amazing beer. What else do you need! Just had the sausage and chips basket and it was very tasty.

Lovely pub they make us feel very very welcome and very clean and very friendly and we hope to see you all soon

Charming building in a great location. Staff were friendly, helpful, polite and professional. Dinner was fantastic....really, really good quality and value. Although they don't do breakfast, the yogurts in the room and pastries/fruit on the landing were perfectly adequate and included in the price. Room was a little tired, needed decoration and the bathroom wasn't great. Overall a good experience, we'll definitely stay again.

Great value pub food with very friendly service.

Went to the castle Inn last night with friends Not a big menu, but doesn’t need to be with the standard and quality of food served The prawn in chile starter was amazing Two if our group had the battered cod, again faultless My belly pork and mustard mash was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing The poached sous with new potatoes could not be faulted Good wine choice, ales on tap, what more could you ask for Thank you one and all

The food was very good, with excellent service.

Nice pub/restaurant in a small market town. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, poor parking in area unless you don't mind a 10 minute walk.

Lovely friendly pub in Usk, the Autumn Fair was taking place in the town, so a good day to visit. Nice atmosphere .

A warm welcome was received to this lovely pub and restaurant followed by a truly fantastic, delicious meal. We were so very well looked after and cannot wait to return. Thank you to all at The Castle Inn.

A must visit pub with great food at sensible prices

This was the perfect venue for our recent funeral wake. Charlotte made the booking very easy and was so accommodating. After the initial enquiry by telephone communication was prompt via email. We found it difficult making a choice of sandwiches for the day as the selection to choose 5 varieties from was plentiful and so varied. We were able to use a private room to the rear of the pub that was very comfortable for our guests. Plenty of tables and seating. The bar was open throughout and they also provided fresh tea and coffee for the duration. The buffet was plentiful and looked fabulous on arrival. It was also delicious! All of the food was freshly made. The variety of sandwiches were very well received and also the gorgeous home made sausage rolls. The cakes were scones and welsh cakes that had been freshly baked and were beautiful and light. There was also a cheese board with Stilton, Cheddar and Brie with French bread. We did have some food left at the end and takeaway cartons were provided,so that guests could take some delights home with them. Absolutely fabulous service from all the staff who looked after us so well. Huge thanks.

Top notch traditional pub, great menu (particularly desserts), good quality and value and they will look after you and any dog friends you bring. Only slight negative is that the interior is a little dated.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Choice of pink sirloin or slow roast beef, as well as other meats and gnocchi options. Very friendly staff and good beers.

Had a lovely meal here on last night of holiday. Good food and great beer! Had venison and apple burger as per photo.

A great pub with decent beers and friendly staff

Stayed one night, nice room with comfortable bed, super friendly staff, quaint little place. The pub is a lovely hangout for friendly locals and the food is fantastic. The burger is huge and delicious. The only downside is that the road traffic noise from the road. It gets busy from early morning as the village's main bust stops are right outside on the little square plus the morning commuters. If that doesn't bother you, this is certainly a lovely place to stay.

Lovely lunch . Very pleasant staff. Good .menu. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend. Reasonable prices.

Sat outside for a few drinks as a family with our dog, ended up having lunch. We loved the seating area outside with its pretty pots and cushions. Usk is beautiful with lots of pretty plant displays everywhere. Inside the pub there are lovely touches like flowers and scented candles in the corridor, with toiletries like body spray to use in the ladies which was nice. The man behind the bar was so nice and friendly, with three cute resident dogs in around the bar! Thank you for a lovely afternoon, and the dog treats😊 Nice ales and basket meals. We would love to return.

Lovely lunch in a beautiful pub ,food was delicious so we all went for a desert too .Staff were very friendly and competent. We enjoyed a drink in the gorgeous garden afterwards, highly recommended.

Really impressed by the room we had booked, only let down was no cooked breakfast available, but the room was well stocked with juices, yoghurts and biscuits etc. We definitely would return. Thank you .

Thank you so much for having us Great Pub, friendly and welcoming people, We will be back!

What a beautiful place to be … Great atmosphere, great food , great ambiance. I ate boeuf stroganoff and mash it was delicious, sticky toffee pudding home made miam .. We will come back for the rice pudding soon ! If I could I will put 6 stars ⭐️. Nell

Friendly Inn, excellent food with a very interesting menu. Two hand pump ales, Butty Bach well kept. Would visit again.

Great unplanned lunch stop. Food was fab, we plan to try and come back this way to eat more of it! Plus they have dark chocolate sorbet which is a rare find.

I had a whistle stop visit during a muti day cycle race that passed through Usk. Speed was important, and the food was quick and good quality, but what really stood out was the friendliness of the staff and the service. I had wet kit from a storm in France and the lady serving us (sorry - I was in too much of a brain fog to catch your name) offered to tumble dry my gear before I cycled on to Hay on Wye. A lovely gesture which made a big difference. It was also lovely to get a follow up message on the race website saying how the pub had watched my progress after I left - great people!

Wonderful Evening with Special friends Where the Food , Service and Attention to detail was just PERFECT!! Thanks Charlotte and team you definitely Deserve great praise for all that you do in running a well oiled bar & Restaurant .

We’ve now been twice. Service and food have been exceptional. We had a roast beef roll and blade of roast beef in a giant Yorkshire pub that were to die for. The following visit we had their chicken and beef burgers which were huge. Lovely beer garden. Dog friendly.

Lovely beer garden only doing basket meals when I was there.

Lovely traditional pub with great beer garden and very friendly staff. Enjoyed a great pint of Welsh Pale Ale 🍺

What a lovely Friendly Pub, nothing too much trouble for staff and service fab. We stayed 1 night with our daschund, Buddy. He was treated like royalty with treats and a soft Matt left in our room for him🐶❤️ very dog friendly pub. We had a tasty meal, fish and chips were all home cooked and delicious, Tagliatelle was very tasty too. Lovely quaint village pub and beer garden. Rooms well equipped with little extras that made our stay even more special. Thankyou to all the fab Team🙏👍🍾🥂🍻

Friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere on a sunny day trip to Usk.

I went into the Castle Inn on a Bank Holiday because my Mini had a blow out. I had to get home to London because I had surgery the following morning and all my roadside service could offer was a violently expensive tow to a garage in Newport that would not open until the next day, leaving me stranded with no transport and nowhere to stay. The Castle Inn was welcoming, friendly and sympathetic and such was the atmosphere that within seconds of walking in, people were helping me. To cut a long story short, both the bar staff and the customers were all so kind and helpful that my Mini was back on its wheels with a new tyre in no time. This is the perfect Village pub - it offered me a haven and a cool drink and made me feel comfortable and at home. Next time I am in Wales I am going to make a point of going back to visit because you won't find a nicer and more friendlier pub anywhere. Thank you to all staff and customers at the Castle Inn. Charlotte

Cozy place with friendly staff. Great view of the town centre from the room.

Lovely place helpful staff and nice garden

We stayed for two nights and loved our room. It was bright, modern and clean with a comfy bed and nice ensuite. The location is really handy for walking to any of Usk's highlights. While no sit-down breakfast is provided, there are some breakfast items provided in your room each day (fresh pastries, yoghurts, biscuits, brownies, fruit juice, tea/coffee etc). They have won several awards for their food, so if you intend to eat in their restaurant book a table at your earliest convenience as it gets fully booked well in advance. We would definitely stay there again and intend to visit for Sunday lunch very soon.

Disappointed in the food to be honest. Website is good , menu looked good but food lacked taste

Loved it! Delicious food and lovely staff.

We had a very nice meal and the staff were amazing adjusting to my many dietary restrictions! Oh, one of the nicest veggie burgers I have had!!!

Beautiful little pub, lovely hotel rooms! Friendly staff, dog friendly, and very popular with locals. Didn't eat here but everything else was wonderful

We went for Sunday lunch for a birthday celebration. The staff really looked after us from the moment we walked in. There was a good menu choice for Sunday lunch and everyone had a good meal. The Pub also had a good selection of beer and lager. Everyone had a great day. I would definitely recommend this Pub.

A gorgeous pub in the beautiful Welsh town Usk. Fantastic service and staff in gorgeous surrondings.. Definitely will return for food next time.. It looked delicious!

Excellent Sunday roast, best I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely go back soon.

Booked Sunday lunch here as we were staying a night locally and it had some good reviews. We were sat in the front bar area rather than the rear restaurant section and preferred this as it was seemed a little cosier with a nice atmosphere. Great job all round, delicious and well served food together with attentive service from the friendly barman. The roast beef was very tender and plentiful, good depth of flavour on the gravy, well cooked veg and a very impressive Yorkshire pub! What more could you want. The kids fish and chips was maybe a touch on the expensive side at £8 but didn't change what was a great Sunday lunch experience! Desserts are made in house and the sticky toffee pudding was enjoyed by us all. We'd definitely return if we were passing and would certainly recommend to others, especially considering how many pubs are in the immediate area! Great job all round and a very strong five stars from us!

Lovely traditional style pub, nice selection of beers, really nice selection of good, good prices, nice stuff, friendly staff & customers, very welcoming. Definitely worth visiting

One of the best Sunday lunches I’ve eaten. Vegetables and meat were first class as was the friendly staff.

This is our first visit for Usk and it is lovely. We had a a wander around the square and came upon this pub. We had not booked but they were happy to accommodate us. The pub is very nice a lot of atmosphere. The menu cover the normal favourites and some specials. I had the late starter, nothing special but it was OK. The main was the pork belly with red cabbage and mash. It was very nice and I would have eat it all over again. The service is astonishing, when you order something then look away and it arrives in a few minutes. The servicing staff a very pleasant. All in all it was a nice experience.

Only went for a drink but was lovely, cosy & clean.

Staff were friendly, efficient and happy to help. nothing was too much trouble! Quality of food was superb and delicious! The pub was welcoming and of high standard. The toilets were the cleanest I’ve ever visited! I would highly recommended for small or big private functions as there is plenty of room!

Really friendly pub top quality ales.
