The Grofield Inn in Monmouthshire

Having searched other pubs we decided to visit the Grofield as the Menu looked really appealing to us. We did not reserve a table we decided to just turned up and see what happens and I must say we were not disappointed,we were greeted by very friendly staff who were very attentive.there was certainly a good great atmosphere people that were there were all happy and enjoying themselves. They have a garden at the rear of the pub which was very beautiful,very clean and tidy,we choose to eat inside which was very nice. The food we had was amazing it was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. It was more than evident that the owners and all the staff take great pride in making sure we have a pleasurable experience. We had a perfect afternoon loved every minute and would highly recommend the Grofield to everyone. Amazing and thank you!

Great find while visiting Abergavenny

Lovely food. Friendly staff, wonderful service. Would recommend the beef and mushrooms in a delicious sauce, garlic mash and fine beans and a gammon with egg and pineapple with chips.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Friendly welcoming and food was excellent. Definitely recommend and go back

Excellent meal at the Grofield. Had the steak and ale pie and it was outstanding great service too. Very friendly.

We stopped off here on our way home from climbing Pen Y Fan and on arrival, we were abruptly spoken to saying there was no room outside and only inside (we were more than happy for any table). After asking for a high chair for our baby, they said they don’t do high chairs, this was a real shame as our reason for stopping was to feed our baby. After reading the reviews that suggested a family atmosphere, I disagree. Unfortunately we left so I couldn’t comment on the food. I completely understand that people have bad days, but I felt the tone of voice was very unnecessary.

Lovely selection on the menu, catering for all dietary requirements. We had the daily special which was chicken breast in a spicy sauce with mushrooms and potatoes. Extremely tasty, well presented, very filing and great value for money. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. It was a sunny day so after eating we sat in the beautiful garden. Definitely would return.

What a great find, great food, lovely staff and dog friendly in the garden. Not badly priced either.

Lovely traditional pub food recommendation Great place ☕️🍷

Came here for Sunday dinner with our dog and honestly I couldn’t fault it beautiful beer garden friendly and extremely pleasant staff the food was absolutely stunning also! I had lamb with the trimmings my partner had the beef and it’s was honestly 10/10 also an amazing price! Highly recommend 👍 we will be back.

Never disappoints ,,, 4 family members mid week , midday . Garden setting in the sun. cold drinks , 2 hearty meals , 2 smaller meals , thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Clean plates all around. Service great. No doubt about returning.

Outstanding meal, quality meat, well cooked and well seasoned sides, great service, great VFM. Highly recommend this place for Sunday Lunch.

Very nice pub in Abergavenny, went on a Wednesday evening so not busy but still had a nice atmosphere, the bar staff were friendly and chatty, and the food I ordered (haddock, chips and peas) was delicious. Definitely worth visiting for food or a pint if you're ever in Abergavenny.

The best lasagna in Abergavenny

Service quite good although at no time did anyone ask if everything was satisfactory. The selection of drinks was mainly keg beers and lagers, not great. The food was pretty awful, what seemed like oven chips, burger was a soggy bun with tasteless content. Lasagne was mince with some sauce and precious little pasta. A salad was just a pile of cheap lettuce leaves, undressed with lumps of tomato, cucumber and strangely orange. Not particularly expensive but would not need to be with the poor quality. I like to be positive in reviews but frankly struggled to be this time.

Fish was pleasant. Husband’s pie was nice. Frozen chips okay, but would prefer fresh. Staff were nice and helpful. Typical pub grub

I booked a table here for a family group meeting for 5 people. We all travelled about 1 hour to get here from our respective homes. What a gem of a find! A small pub in the town centre, it really stood out from outside the building as bright, clean and well presented. We weren't disappointed inside either. We were welcomed as we came through the door, and the hospitality continued throughout our visit. The team at front of house were warm and friendly, the kitchen staff turned out some lovely home cooked food too. On the menu, there weren't too many choices. This is a good thing as it was a well chosen menu. There was something for everyone in our party, including one gluten intolerant person and one dairy-free. There are labels on the menu for persons with dietary restrictions, and all you have to do is ask the staff if you have a query. There were some really tasty choices on the menu, and all meals coming out of the kitchen were well presented. There were also smaller meal size options on the menu. That leaves room for a desert...well worth doing here. The dairy free member of our party declared the Chocolate Orange Brownie with plant-based ice cream as 'the best pudding she'd had in a very long time'. As I said previously, what a find! This is a pub we will definitely return to again when we meet up. Tip! - book a table. We saw quite a few people having to find somewhere else to eat.

A lovely pub with good food, and a vast selection of beers and drinks. Nice menu and the food was piping hot! Fabulous, welcoming staff. There is always the addition of a specials board. The owner Andrew went above and beyond to help us by taking us home when we couldn’t get a taxi. It also has a big modern beer garden. Not to be missed!

Such a beautiful place! We cannot recommend this place enough. It is a family ran pub and you can tell they all love their business. The food is incredible. I had the scampi and my partner had the roast dinner and the food was the nicest we have had in a very long time. We will definitely be back to try some more food.

Another really enjoyable Sunday afternoon with our family. The Grofield is always a friendly place to come to and the Sunday Lunch menu is good quality and good value. Choose a traditional roast with all the trimmings, or something a bit different like a falafel platter or lasagne, and there's a menu for children, too. You won't be hurried, you won't be chivvied, but you will be made to feel at home.

Food here is exceptional and not expensive. Service is fast and friendly. Overall a very welcoming place to go. Been here twice now and will go again after realising they have a great place to eat outside undercover.

Excellent meals - belly pork and crushed potatoes Well kept beer (Horny Goat Ale!) Well worth a visit

Great food and drink. Excellent customer service. I can highly recommend the gammon. Cooked to perfection.

Fantastic good, great staff, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended

Fabulous meal at The Grofield this evening. The Steak & Ale Pie was amazing. The steak was really tender and the sweet potato chips were the best. Then had the Apple & Cherry Crumble, which was devine. What a crumble…absolutely perfect (and I’ve baked a few crumbles!) Compliments to the Chef. Slowly working our way through the menu 😊

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. I even liked the peas

We eat here regularly. Never had a bad meal, never had less than exceptional service and "mine hosts" are always cheerful and look pleased to see us.

This place came highly recommended but was such a disappointment. I ordered a steak and my partner, (Whitby?) scampi. Portion sizes were OK and the food was flavourful, but both our meals were cold when we were only halfway through them. We're not slow eaters and didn't indulge in a lot of conversation while eating, so the quick temperature drop wasn't down to us. Perhaps serving hot food on hot plates might help? The Merlot wine was excellent.

Great pub with nice comfortable place out back all covered for dogs.

After a day of walking we really wanted some pub grub. This restaurant didn't disappoint! We were lucky to get the last unreserved table (better to book weekend nights). The staff were very welcoming and the food came quickly and was delicious.

Always a warm welcome. Good food. Friendly staff. 😃

Staff nice. Food pretty basic pub grub for the price. If I’m paying 14 for a main, want something bit better.

An absolute charming pub! A very warm welcome on arrival. Very apologetic as our table wasn't ready yet as we were early. The place was full with a nice relaxed feel.Staff were very attentive and service was quick. Food was stunning!! Will definitely be returning here . Would highly recommend this place.

Went for the Christmas lunch menu. All 3 courses were well presented and delicious. I had a starter of apple, parsnip and sage soup and it was outstanding. Service was also excellent.

Popped in for some food and we were offered a table very quickly. The food was absolutely stunning and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Brilliant pub!

Great food, good selection and service highly recommend

It’s a lovely location, right in the middle of Abergavenny with a perfectly placed car park nearby. Lovely beer garden, but inside seems a bit sparse in the interior decor department, some cushions, objet d’art and wall decorations, to distract you from the brown vinyl upholstery, maybe? Linguine was lovely, waitress great…fella lurking around the bar (manager?) had a face like a slapped arse, didn’t smile once when interacting with him. Cheer up love, part of customer service is acting like you’re pleased to see customers (obviously didn’t do drama in school).

Best steak and ale pie I've ever had in a pub!

Food ok service ok place a bit soulless

We arrived as a very large group not expecting there to be space, but were pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff when they did their best to accommodate our large group. Nothing was too much trouble. The selection of food was impressive. Food arrived in a timely manner and there were no complaints from anyone in our group. Good quality.

After seeing the reviews online I booked for a family meet up. We live 100 miles away and our relative lives close to Abergavenny. What a good decision. Great food choice, lovely welcoming staff & lovely and clean . WELL DONE all of you 👏👏

Not eaten here yet but always a friendly welcome from staff. Loveky beer garden to sit in and enjoy drinks

Friendly and accommodating staff nice atmosphere great food

Good place for dinner. Food was well cooked and tasty. Service was good and fairly quick.

Having recently moved to the area, my partner and I have made the Grofield Inn our local, despite it not being the closest pub to our house. We love the atmosphere and the food and drink. But most of all, we love the staff and their service - we are always made to feel welcome, and the staff are genuinely disappointed when we don't take our dog, Juniper, to the pub. Today, we had our first Sunday roast at the Grofield - 10/10.

Had Sunday lunch here, very tough, fatty beef, and the side order of cauliflower cheese was ridiculously hard. Then for dessert I ordered a fruit crumble, and to my disappointment the topping was just a crushed biscuit which was hard , and in no way resembled a traditional crumble. When I complained to the manager, he insisted that it ‘was a crumble’. I think he should revise what a crumble consists of before adding it to the menu.

We have been to the Garfield many times in the past. Today was a very nice day to sit out in the garden. We also noticed that they have upgraded their menu with lots of new entries. We had the Beef Madras and the Linguine with shrimp, respectively. The staff is always very lovely. I would definitely recommend.

Good good and great staff. A very friendly atmosphere.

I've wanted to try the Grofield ever since Covid times, when I saw their van delivering meals to customers when life was so difficult for so many. We finally went tonight and that caring community feel really comes through. Pleasant staff, prompt service, nice home cooked food. Excellent choice on the menu and prices are reasonable. We had lasagne and steak pie, both home made and both excellent. Nice beers on tap too. Highly recommend.

This pub/restaurant is very friendly and very clean. The food was lovely and we were made very welcome. would come again if we are back in Abergavenny.

Lovely food good service lovely outside garden

Lovely pub, immaculately clean. Very welcoming. Food was fantastic, great choices for gluten free. Service was really quick and all the staff were very friendly. . Would recommend to everyone.

A lovely family lunch. Excellent food and good service. Thank you very much

A very lovely pub, very friendly, I was there as it was our base for performing at the wonderful Abergavenny carnival, a wonderful day was had! 🎭🧡

lovely venue, staff were super friendly and the food was amazing!! the garden was a nice place to eat and the atmosphere was great !

Amazing service and they can’t help enough. Food is amazing and it’s a beautiful kept pub. The manager is always so happy and talkative too.

Been coming here annually for 3 years now. The staff are such a good laugh, the drink is top notch and the food is tasty! Great beer garden out the back that catches the sun, perfect for popping in with bikes as they let you in the side door. Highly recommended!

Good food, great service. Recomended.

Very nice pub good service a little slow although it was busy and we were more than ready to eat.

We enjoy our visits here. Good pub grub at competitive prices. Great attentive table service.

The most delicious lasagne in the garden with friends. Lovely garden, delicious food, pleasant staff. Will def return.

Lovely local pub, really friendly and helpful staff with a good menu..

Casual atmosphere - Visit with family after a walk . Nice welcome on arrival . Dined in the beer garden - Excellent food and service.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, great company

Stopped off for lunch after visiting Raglan Castle. They were very busy but the service was great. Very friendly staff , great food and good value.

Visited Raglan Castle and then ww were feeling peckish so Googled best lunchtime pub close by and this pub came up tops. Kudos to Google because it was a lovely lunch, great atmosphere and wonderful service would thoroughly recommend it and we'll definitely be back!

An absolute gem, in Abergavenny for one night, so happy we chose to eat at the Grofield, the food was lovely, the atmosphere was excellent and the service brilliant, cannot recommend highly enough, all round excellent

Lovely food definitely one to go back to!

Lovely pub and one of our favourites. No better beer garden in Abergavenny and great staff.

Love this place. Best food and refreshments in Abergavenny.

Always clean, with polite and friendly staff. Excellent food quality too

Popped in for food while in area , guy behind bar was great with amazing customer service skills . Food was lovely we had a curry and hunters chicken and it was lovely and a great portion . Lovely friendly atmosphere, will definitely be back .

Dog friendly outdoor dining under cover with heating and blankets. Delicious food. Reasonably priced. Very friendly service. Highly recommend eating here!

Four of us dined on Tuesday evening. All our meals were delicious. Great service.Friendly staff. Fantastic beer garden.

Visited without a reservation for a Sunday lunch, and they fitted us in. 4 adults 2 children with assorted food intolerances, and a good choice of meals available. Food was excellent, fairly priced, and great service. Well done!

Very disappointed, we googled pubs in the Abergavenny area for dog Friendly. It showed the Grofield as being 'Totally Dog Friendly'. We walked into an empty pub and was asked to leave because we had a dog. When we mentioned the Internet advert they said you can sit outside if you like pointed out their advert. He shrugged his shoulders.

Love the grofield, amazing family run pub with amazing food served, spotless clean, Andrew is an amazing landlord with nothing being to much trouble for him , Very quiet well run public house , the garden is outstanding such a nice area to go even if it's not warm outdoors as they have outside heating also. Would defo recommend a visit to people who are yet to have visited the grofield . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very good food and service. The landlord and landlady were really friendly. We ate out every night and this was the best food we had! The outdoor area was really nice aswell.

Great food and service in a quiet but central location.

Absolutely brilliant highly recommended

Excellent welcoming pub, good food mostly along standard pub-grub lines but top quality. Well kept ales and good affordable wines. "Modest" beer garden really doesn't do it justice! Pub quiz every Sunday evening.

Visiting here early lunch time ban hols Monday. Staff were exceptionally friendly. We sat out in the beer garden as the sun was shining. Our drinks were bought to us which was great! Food was excellent and staff were brilliant too. Highly recommend

Popped in late on a Friday night. Quiet which was good. Had a couple of pints of well kept Rhumney Gold.

Great pub food, friendly efficient service, lovely beer garden & dog friendly.

I have been here three times for food and on each occasion it was perfect. The staff are really friendly and the food is great.

Great place for a Sunday lunch, plus outdoor restaurant,Staff were brilliant 😉

Quite upmarket but had a nice pint in their lovely garden.

Another great night of gents darts cheers all at the grofield

We enjoyed a lovely meal landlord and his staff are friendly and welcoming

Came in for a pint whilst on holiday. Loverly staff and garden. Food looked great, we didn’t eat as had a table booked elsewhere.

Good small pub with a pleasant atmosphere. Food and service was also great.

Great little pub with excellent food and service. Very popular with a steady stream of customers. Very friendly atmosphere and the place was also wonderfully clean. Thoroughly recommend!

Great food, steak was amazing and staff very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Great trip out to Abergavenny. A Birthday to remember and a mention in the Captains Log

No food. Just a pleasant drink. Lovely glass of wine. Thank you.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch on 11th February. As we had our dogs with us, we had to eat in the covered area in the garden. It was warm and comfortable, and the staff were frequently on hand to bring our drinks, food and anything g else we needed. We had been concerned that the seating area would have been cold, but quite the opposite. I was wearing a t shirt and found it to be really comfortable. As for the food. It was really good. I have had many okish Sunday dinners, but this wasn't one of them. I couldn't fault it as we left feeling comfortably full. Many thanks for a great experience. We will definitely return.

Great pub, friendly, smiling landlord, good food, great service, great atmosphere. Will be back next year when our car needs it's next service 🤔😉

I found the Grofield whilst browsing on line prior to visiting Abergavenny. It's just off the main street, but you'd be unlikely to come across it by accident. The pub has been tastefully refurbished. . They have two cask beers and a very well priced food menu. Drinks and food are table service, which was prompt and friendly. The beer and food were both excellent. They take reservations. We visited on a Friday lunchtime, it was busy, but there were still a couple of free tables. This was our first, but certainly not our last visit.

Fantastic home made pub food at a great price

Not Dog friendly and no signs at door to state this. Therefore, didn't have chance to sample the beer or food. Appears to be more food orientated than a drinking den.
