The Grofield Inn in Monmouthshire

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.

Lovely food good service lovely outside garden

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 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

Great food, good selection and service highly recommend

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

We came to the Grofield for a works Christmas meal and get together. The food was amazing and all of the staff were very attentive and accommodating (and a good giggle!). Thank you to all for making it such a great night out!! I will be certain to recommend, especially the professionally made bar shots! 😀

Had a lovely Sunday lunch last week. I'm not normally one to have a roast dinner out as they can be very hit or miss. Have to say Grofield roasts are great. Meat is tender ( between us we had lamb, beef and turkey) good choice of veg and plenty of it. We ordered cauliflower cheese as an extra. Service was excellent and food tasty. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

2 chunks of chicken in a curry! Fair enough I ordered a lite bite, but this is "having a laugh". The meal cost £9.50. I feel i was ripped off. I was waiting for someone to come and ask if everything was alright with my meal, but no-one came. I will not go there again.

Had booked a Christmas roast for a party of 4, Turkey Christmas roast and Beef roast when it arrived the Yorkshire pudding was burnt black (been put under the grill to reheat?) sliced Beef stuck together the whole dinner seemed as if it had been reheated not a very good advert shame really as we have previously had reasonably good food here

We drove from Leicestershire to meet family who live in Wales & Abergavenny is a mid way point. Second time at Christmas we've met in the Grofield. The staff are very friendly and welcoming! And we were seated on the same table as last year so it now feels like 'our' table! Decorated for Christmas & the Christmas menu was fabulous.. the lamb was just beautiful! A lovely pub, lovely people, lovely food! (And we left the ice bag behind lol!) See you again we hope! X

Good Sunday roast. Very busy so would advise to book.

Only stopped by for drinks with family. Just love this pub

Great pub, worth a visit. The Guiness is almost as good as the baby Guiness

The standard this pub sets is terrific with great food and a really friendly welcome and high levels of customer service. Lunches are always tasty and well presented and the ambience is relaxing, making you want to return.

We booked dinner for 25 family and friends the day after my daughter’s wedding. Andrew couldn’t have been more accommodating with the pre-order booking and all commented on how delicious the meals were. Will definitely come back Kay November 2023

Having read the reviews book this for Sunday lunch, pleasant atmosphere staff polite and friendly, good selection on the menu, when ordered food arrived within an acceptable time looked good and tasted fresh, overall a nice experience but would I visit again?

Great pub in the centre of the town.

Lovely vibe, friendly staff and delicious food!

Great Pub. Fantastic staff who are always friendly. Food for everyone. Caters for veggies. Andrew runs a good ship. Keep it up.

The staff were great and the vibe of the pub was good. The food wasn't the best. Came for a roast . We had a Eton mess for dessert and it was sad. It was one of the lowest effort desserts I've ever been served and it was also expensive! So I was really expecting more. The apple crumble had no dough and the apple wasn't properly cooked. Tasted more like apple sauce than a crumble. I always hate reviewing low especially when staff is great but the food was too shocking.

Came back for the steak and ale pie and wasn't disappointed. Friendly warm welcome and busy atmosphere. We had a tiny table tucked in the corner so felt a bit hemmed in. Highly recommended the place and will definitely return.

A really lovely welcoming pub with a nice garden area. Great food at reasonable prices. A very nice experience, would definitely recommend.

Lovely place to go ,food excellent service excellent and table service as well so you can enjoy your time there better

Very pleasant, friendly and warm atmosphere good selection and lovely food.

Lovely meal with friends. Sat in the garden area which is really attractive and has heaters. Reasonable choice of gluten free dishes too.

Great little local pub, exactly what was required after a weekend of hiking! Good food, good drinks and a super friendly owner, we’ll be back!

Had lunch there yesterday with family and friends and the food was amazing. Great service by the team and nothing was too much trouble. Portions were generous and reasonably priced. Thanks Andrew and team will definitely be coming back soon.

Buena comida. Para sorpresa las Sweet potatoes son las mejores que he probado

If you are ever in the Welsh border town of Abergavenny and you are visiting the market, then you cannot get much better than the Grofield. The town is full of chain pubs, free houses ,cafes and independent eateries, that cater for all tastes and budgets . I chose to partake of lunch in this particular pub, which is one of Y Fenni's (the town's Welsh name) free houses. Tucked off Lewis's Lane a short stroll from the high street, this is one of Gavenny's hidden gems. The prices and food reflect a slightly more upmarket clientele, those who want to pay a little more but still want a bit of change. The Grofield is a family run pub, priding itself on freshly home cooked food. This is also slightly weird(however I wish not to be rude), it is clearly bar service, but unlike most others, you pay after consumption of your meal and beverage. Is this the norm or is it because I visited on a quiet Tuesday afternoon at around 2pm after the main lunchtime rush, that this was my assumption? Do they go to the table during the evening? On this visit I made a straight beeline for the BBQ chicken burger which was very freshly cooked with the sauce which covered the chicken being homemade on site. Very tasty. Puddings (currently) include a sticky toffee and a chocolate orange ganache. Wide range of beers including Estrella Damm, Staropramen and Madri. Also a wide selection of spirits and hot drinks. Generally an all round lovely pub and one you should look to visit when you visit one of Wales's best markets.

Friendly, good beer, excellent food.

Great to be outside in lush beer garden

We often visit The Grofield and sit in the beer garden, the staff are very friendly and the food is amazing.

Just a lovely pub. I have visited here often with my Mum, Dad and crazy dog! The staff firstly are absolutely amazing, friendly and welcoming. The inside and garden areas are really lovely and spotlessly clean. The food is excellent with specials available daily. Totally dog friendly, the amazing member of staff who serves us regularly whose name I’m ashamed to say I don’t know, always works above and beyond to ensure we and the dog had a lovely time. Best pub in Abergavenny hands down.

First visit today for our Wedding Anniversary lunch! Fab food and service and a bonus being dog friendly only thing I'd add a bit of background music! Will definitely go back again!

Fantastic food & very welcoming staff. Definitely will return next time we're in Abergavenny.

Great food...Good hosts and a convient car park opposite that's free after 6pm

Food very nice and staff friendly

Was recommended by two local business that this was good for a lunch. Spot on! Friendly staff, good food and great service. Beer not bad either!!

Friendly atmosphere, lovely food, clean . There a car park near the Grofield which you can pay by card or coins

Definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the neighbourhood. I had my bicycle with me but was able to enter the beer garden through a side entrance/gate which makes it wheelchair friendly also; both bonus points. I had the steak sandwich; succulent streak strips, perfectly cooked with onions and mushroom between homemade ciabatta bread. Whether the ciabatta was actually homemade I do not know for sure, but it was advertised as such and tasted accordingly. I upgraded my chips to sweet potato and ordered peppercorn side too upon being asked by the waiter (Ed). Everything arrived promptly, warm and very tastefully presented; the chef definitely knows what they are doing. The bartender pours a nice pint, but forgot to bring a menu or inform Ed that I wanted one. That and the fact you must pay inside are the only 'negative' things I have to say about my experience here. Ed, you're a class waiter and I hope to have you serve me again next time I visit! Great food, great drinks, great service and a nice decor in the back beer garden with a mix of tables, lounges and benches.

Very good food. 👍👍👍 We thought a french cook was hidding inside the kitchen. 😁 Very friendly staff. Nice place to eat drink and relax. Merci beaucoup.

Really lovely garden. Very peaceful.

Very nice pub. Friendly staff and good pub grub. N.B no dogs inside !

Excellent food and service Sunday dinner is stunning and their curry is so nice

Beautiful pub and gorgeous beer garden. We had a roast and sat in the garden as we had the dogs with us. Lovely friendly service and delicious food. Everything was hot and very tasty. Highly recommend!

Really great food, if your a pie addict like me you just got to try the steak and ale pie it's the best I've had in a long time. Friendly staff and fast service, this place was busy on a week day lunch time so I would of thought you would need to book on a weekend. A hidden gem, definitely going to go back.

Absolutely love it here, friendly staff, nice environment and good prices. The food is exactly what you want in a pub. Will visit time and time again. Definitely recommend going here for dinner if you’re in the area.

Lekker gegeten, de weekspecial was heerlijk. Gezellig gezeten in de grote tuin onder de parasols. Vriendelijk personeel.

A lovely pub where fur animals are welcome in the garden. Staff is very welcoming and food excellent for a very good price! Highly recommended!
