The Kings Head in Monmouthshire

Room lighting was a little iffy. Well decorated. Outwhat's the minimum for charging devices? Water in the room a couple of breakfast options available with a meal. Hotel was unavailable from the street until four p m, fact that no one communicated to us, Nor did anyone advise to pull into one of the upper street parking lots and walked down and Sort out how baggage would get there. A good news is they have WI. Fi. The bad news is it's unsecured so you really can't use it. No elevator always a problem with old british hotels, can prepare to leave your bags in the car.

Our stay at The Kings Head was.... adequate! The location in town was great ( only a 10 minute walk from the train station), the room was clean and the breakfast and breakfast staff top notch. However the welcome on check in although polite was not overly warm and friendly and the room was very tired, and would benefit from new decor and the old 80's furniture replacing. The shower was a trickle and bathroom accessories falling off the wall! Tea and milk were not replaced for our second night and we weren't back in time to request replacements. Overall an adequate stay but expected better for the price paid.

Cracking little pub ,entertainment good night

The restaurant was presented well and overall the food was delicious and of a high standard. I was extremely disappointed with the gluten free options. I have coeliac disease, so eating a strict gluten free diet is extremely important. Allergens are displayed on the menu, and not that many items are shown to contain gluten (which is the good bit). However, a lot of the fried items are all cooked in the same fryer as the samosas. I believe the samosas are the only starter that contain gluten, but because the onion bhajis. poppadoms and crispy chicken are all cooked in the same fryer, and none of the options are coeliac safe. All the food we had was delicious, although some of the dishes are expensive for this sort of place in my opinion. I would return, especially if they are able to rethink their fryer situation. The samosas ruin everything else lol.

Thought it was a great place to have lunch with my husband... never again. Ordered the Salmon with buttered veg and potatoes, less than a handful of veg, one small potatoe wedge and a figer slice of salmon and that was it.. . Ploughman's, was more lettuce than anything .. one piece of cheese... poor, left hungry. For what it was, way over priced. Will not return there ever. Totally put us off.

Down to earth pub with a great beer garden!👍👍👍

We were staying in the adjoining hotel and the food seemed interesting. Turns out we made a great choice. Its a mix of Indian and Nepalese cooking, so they took Indian dishes to another level with some unusual but delicious offerings. I'd certainly go back if we were in town. God friendly service and selection of beers from the pub in the same establishment

All good, friendly staff,accomodation spotless.One gripe was that the mattress had seen better days.

Amazing staff and friendly, anything we asked was no trouble at all, the bed was comfy room was a good size and bathroom was really nice. Food was fantastic we will definitely be returning

Food and service was excellent 5stars

Quirky hotel, entrance in the pub in front of the dart game, avoid the day of the local league or shout before opening the door 😅😅 Rooms are old style but functional, the evening can be spend in between the pub and the indian restaurant within the hotel

Such a beautiful place, staff were wonderful. Room was very comfortable and modern. Bar was open till very late. Fantastic stay overall.

Amazing curry, great portions and choice. Staff are brilliant and could not do enough for us. A must place to visit!

Worse meal I've had in a Nepalese restaurant. Avoid at all cost. Day time menu was far superior. Wish I'd gone in the day time. Won't be back.

Bought takeaway from Regency 59 last night. Excellent quality and not too oily. Possibly the best Indian takeaway I've ever had.

I have visited here a few times now and I must say the food is delicious they must have a very talented chef working here. However the waitresses often seem very rushed off their feet because there never seems to be enough of them to give the level of customer that matches the quality of the food. One thing that I have have also noticed more than once is that no matter how busy the waitresses are the proprietors always will just appear to stand around and not assist the Skelton front of house staff they have. The American Gentleman (cant remember his name) and the brunette Lady (Naomi I think I maybe wrong) are an absolute credit to the front of house though as they always appear to remain calm and professional under the pressure they appear to be put under.

Too many eateries in quaint, tourist locations offer poor food. Its as if they don't need to try too hard. The restaurant looked lovely. For a Sun, it wasn't very busy. The 4 of us all had different meals, with 3 choosing various roasts. Potatoes weren't very crispy and veg the usual plain, British way of cooking; we asked for another portion as a small bowl was inadequate for 3. The meat and gravy was plentiful and tasty, but a bit salty. No Yorkshire puds if not a beef roast. What really spoilt ut were the very young, inexperienced waitresses. Also, the puddings - apple crumble looked a Ness as it had been zapped to a soft pulp in microwave; was deducted from bill as it wasn't eaten. My chocolate brownie and 1 scoop of ice cream couldn't have been much smalker. That too had been overheated, making the texture break up rather than solid. Subday roasts were overpriced as is most places for food that isn't difficult to cook. 2 in my group said the young staff were sniggering after we com9lained about the puddings. The young American male staff was very cheery and proficient. Sadly, the young girl was our main server. Luckily, I realised she'd overcharged me by £5. Anyway, I gave her a 10% tip, and hopefully she'll improve. Living in very competitive, foodie Bristol UK, a place like this wouldn't survive.

Great breakfast and coffee. Service was amazing and the breakfast was beautifully served and was pipping hot. Restaurant was spotless and staff were very attentive. Would highly recommend.

After shopping and visiting the excellent market in Abergavenny we were in need of a good lunch. We opted for the Regency 59 as it looked cosy and inviting. The restaurant was warm and comfortable, and the tables generously spaced although close enough to be able to view the many different dishes ordered. Unfortunately we would have liked to have had the evening menu offered, but this was not an option so we settled for the curry on the lunchtime menu. My husband ordered the chicken curry and I ordered the vegetable curry and we shared the two. They were both very tasty and there was sufficient for the two of us to share and enjoy. We finished with a very tasty desert and were very pleased that we had chosen this restaurant. The staff were pleasant and efficient and the service was relaxed and polite. We were very pleased that we had chosen to eat here, and in fact we did return to this restaurant the following week and had a very good lunch of fish and chips. Two very good meals in a very pleasant ambiance.

Expensive and poor quality. Billed as authentic, but pretty sure sauce had tomato soup as base (if it didn't that's what it tasted like). Try elsewhere.

First time trying out the evening menu. highly recommend just beautiful. The starters, mains and sides were all very tasty and presented nicely. Good selection of non alcoholic drinks. Staff were attentive and well informed. Was an all around fantastic evening. We will be back soon.

Visited with my family for lunch. Staff were very attentive and food was lovely. We all had something different and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My only negative point was a small table near the door which was clearly thick with dust, so a little more attention to detail needed there.

Excellent egg fried rice and the cheese naan was exquisite. Chicken Chennai to cardiff was out of this world. Staff were very attentive. We will visit again

It has a nice ambience, best located in the center of Abergavenny town center. Staff was friendly. Tried chicken lolypop, fish fry in starter and was below my expectations in taste. In main course I had Chennai to Cardiff chicken which was Chef recommended and garlic naan and I loved it. Wont mind going there again.

Well looked good waited ages for breakfast when It come sausages were hard and crispy they took them back brought more after 15 mins but was raw cost £23.50 complained but took no notice wat me said so I recomed you miss this place over priced and terrible food id give 0 out of 10

We walked in and were seated quickly. Greeted by staff and orders taken quickly. I had the ploughman’s lunch my wife had chicken and bacon sandwiches. Strange choice for November but both really good. We have booked to go back later for the festive menu can’t wait

The food is very, very good. Portions are generous and full of flavour. Decor is a bit naff. Staff are very polite and helpful.

We were greeted by friendly staff. There is an extensive menu including both meat & vegetarian options. I chose vegetarian and my husband chose a meat option. The food was delicious.

My husband and I visited Abergavenny town this week and had a nice walk on a glorious sunny August day. We were attracted to this restaurant as they had the outdoor seating on the side of the road, some covered, others not. We sat in...

We had a family take away whilst camping just outside Abergavenny. The food was great. It was freshly made. Highly recommend

We have frequently had takeaways during lockdown and was really pleased to be able to eat in the restaurant again. always great food and service, my wife really likes the eir vegetable curry, my favourite is Chicken Chennai, quite spicy but doesn't numb your mouth....

We booked a night at The Kings Head Hotel and decided to eat in their restaurant. The food was amazing! So tasty and reasonably priced, we had Lamb masala and lamb biryani and it absolutely gorgeous. One of the best meals we have had in...

Booked a room in hotel and decided to eat in the restaurant- fabulous food, biryani and chicken tikka masala both delicious. Would highly recommend.

Food and pricing was good and fair, although very poor service outside -had to move seats to be seen

We had the pleasure of staying at the Kings Head Hotel and dining out at Regency 59, part of the hotel! Indian/Nepalese food that was freshly prepared and delicious 😋 staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us feel welcome and comfortable...

Probably one of the best Birianys I have ever eaten. This was “Home cooked “ Indian cuisine and not the normal churned out conveyor belt stuff. We will be back!

Ordered the butter chicken curry...it was horrible...sauce was just like tomato soup crossed with mustard for heat..tiny tiny pieces of chicken that you would find in a pack of chicken intented for sandwiches..no colour on the meat at all if it was genuine tikka marinated..this...

I can’t rate this restaurant highly enough. Fabulous staff with a relaxed approach. The food is outstanding.

The three of us had what we considered to be some of the best Indian cuisine that we had ever eaten - and we have been eating it for over 60 years. We all had lamb based dishes and agreed that the lamb was of...

We ordered a takeaway For 5 including some starters and mains. Hand sanitiser was available when I went to collect the meal, everything was packaged nicely too. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, the food was all cooked perfectly and had loads of flavour. I would...

Evening meal on last day of Eat Out Help Out scheme. We didn't get full £20 off (£17.87 deducted) for the 2 of us, didn't notice at the time so not queried. Our curries were very tasty, mine was vegetarian Kathmandu duo with chick peas...

Absolutely brilliant food, service was great, checked if we were ok, and were attentive. Best Indian we've found in Abergavenny, we will be here a lot!

Really disappointed with Regency59 corona virus protocols. Only female staff were wearing visors, all male staff had masks under their chins not covering mouth or nose. Staff were also going freely into the pub with no hand sanitising between two venues. The obvious disregard for...

Called in for lunch both my husband and myself had the curry , best curry we’ve had in a long time . Good service and excellent Covid standards . Had a few meals here and never had a bad one. Staff are very efficient and...

The service was slow but they were busy. The food made up for it. Tasty and authentic to the areas suggested. Pleasantly safe environment with sufficient distancing to allow you to enjoy.

I have eaten here a couple of years ago and it was amazing. Today was a different story, the curry I can only describe as being tomato soup with a few spices thrown in. We will never go back...

Great food, really tasty. Tandoori chicken Tikka was not red in colour but wow great flavour. Chicken Biryani was great.

Following lockdown. First visit back to this establishment. It was always good before, but a few new items on the menu. Opted to try the Chicken Tikka Sizzler. Was not disappointed, absolutely fantastic. It was also served with good side salad and garlic bread. Well...

Although a large group the orders arrived in good time to the right people. The presentation was good & my chicken tikka was excellent. The staff were very helpful and the surroundings were clean and bright. The prices were competitive. I would recommend.

Called into Regency 59 on a blustery Sunday on our way home from The Cotswold. Very tasty pork and lamb dinner. Excellent staff. Would definitely recommend and visit again

Butter chicken sauce was lovely however the chicken in the dish was not the normal breast/thigh you expect but think small almost wafer thin sliced chicken more like you'd have in a sandwich. Never had anything like it before. Colleague's prawn dish was nice and...

The restaurant was very clean. We had the lasagne and a Blt with a glass of wine. I would definitely recommend.

Every single thing we ordered was absolutely stunning. Best Indian I’ve had in years. Will definitely be back.

Stopped off in Abergavenny on our way back from Worcester Xmas market (great market), just in time for Sunday lunch, luckily. We had turkey and all the trimmings which was the best lunch we have had out (like home cooked). Plenty of meat, potatoes and...

Went for a family meal to a completely unknown restaurant. And what a choice we made. Tasty food with great service! I will be there whenever I am in Abergavenny.

The title says it all really, the food here is superb, authentic Indian/Nepalese food with authentic heat (but they will tone it down if you ask). Everything I've ever eaten here has been delicious, particular favourites, Sugarloaf Daal, saffron salmon tikka, regency special veg curry...

During our recent visit to Abergavenny we had lunch at this restaurant. The meal we had was very good and we shall certainly come back here when visiting the town again.

This pub has the potential to be the best in town it's actually the worst! After eating next door in Regency Restaurant (see separate review - fantastic!)we went to Kings Head for a night cap, these two business have joint ownership!. The young guy who...

We haven't visited this restaurant for several months but made up for it last night with a visit with some friends and it was excellent. Our whole experience was enhanced by the return (again!) of Ana whose smile and natural enthusiasm always adds massively to...

I have eaten at the restaurant for over 1.5 years and hoping to keep going for many more. It never disappoints. It is simply the best curry around. I have tried their entire menu and cannot say I have a favourite curry because they all...

Extremely rude staff, I wouldn't bother visiting this place as the is much nicer places within the town that make you feel welcome.

Called in here on Saturday after a stroll around the town centre. The steak in ale pie was first class as was the bacon, cheese and beef pie, a lovely relaxing venue in a great location. Highly recommend a visit if in the area.

Went by this place and decided to go in as previously we did not enjoy over 2 years ago The meal was lovely service was great and price not too bad Will be going back There Sunday lunches are also to die for Superb

Love this place staff always been good but tonight with football as good as was the girl behind bar was so rude! The guys were great as always

Had dinner last night at the recommendation of our hotel staff for good Indian food. I like spicy; my friend does not. Babu, the host/owner was accommodating, knowledgeable, made some great recommendations. I had the Railway lamb masala and my friend had chicken tikka masala....

Popped in for breakfast. Top notch. Compliments to the chef. As Arnold Schwarzenegger says. "I'll be back".

I would never eat here again the food was only average I had the cheese board for my sweet and it was a embarrassment I had 3finger size of cheese and 3wafer thin biscuits terrible value for my money never again

Absolutely terrible, saw hygiene rating of 5 on the door, was rushed to our seats and menus put quickly in front of us in seconds which should have been a warning for us as to stop us leaving. Ordered our food, ham egg and chips...

Second visit here but will say not as good as the first time. My starter i didn't feel was worth the money, the plate was filled with sauce and the mains were ok but nothing special.

The food Here is always super fresh And the vegetables are the best I have eaten So much so I always order extra carrots:-)

this place is great food is amazing staff are really chatty and friendly we visited on a busy friday everning and were still greeted with a smile!

This restaurant was very busy on both nights that we stayed in the ajoining hotel, which we took as a good sign! Although we didn't have the appetites to have more than a main and a popodum, the menu was interesting, the food good and...

This place had come highly recommended and being new to the area thought I would join friends who were dining there. I’m from the land of the curry (near Birmingham) so I do know a good one when I taste one! Really sorry to say...

Called in today for lunch. Order taken very quickly and did not have to wait very long for the meals to arrive. All meals were great and enjoyable. Very reasonable prices. Our third visit and we will return .

My wife and I went to the Regency for date night and was pleasantly surprised how nice the food was. The fish starter was superb and set the tone for the rest of the food ordered. Was louder than normal due to the jubilant locals...

Friend had recommended and we weren’t disappointed! Food was fantastic, reasonably priced and friendly staff. Orange naan was different but lovely! Can’t wait to go back!

We had beef and ale pie....excellent....home made lasagne...terrible a pint of real ale and half a shandy.....£26 twice the price i would have paid at wetherspoons. not worth it and wont be going again anytime soon

The food is excellent, great service, great atmosphere what more can you ask for? A great menu for all. vegan options etc.

Visited Abergavenny with a friend and popped in on the off chance for food. The staff were very accommodating even though we hadn’t booked a table. The food was delicious and the service was very fast and friendly. The dips with the poppadoms, calamari starter...

We went for a works Christmas lunch. The food was lovely, portions generous and the service good. The gravy was too salty but I always say that so it might not be the case for everyone!

This was our first visit to Regency 59 and we definitely will be returning! We rarely come to abergavenny on a Sunday, but we are very happy that we came today. Firstly, walking in we were greeted by a friendly, smiley face. The restaurant was...

When we visited this town centre bar we were surprised to see only three other customers. The beer was decent, but it was very obvious that this place is in urgent need of some tic. The decoration was dated with artex still on the ceilings,...

Called in for a drink and found it to be really welcoming. The bar isn’t the biggest but it was a quiet evening so it didn’t matter. The drinks are average price so nothing to complain about. I’d definitely come back when in the area...

My friends and I all thoroughly enjoyed our delicious curries last night at The Regency. And great to have a super vegan option for one of our group, which was very well received. Friendly service and a great atmosphere too. Definitely be back and recommend...

We do not normally eat in the restaurant of a hotelbut Regency 59 was an amazing find. The reviews were goid but we still walked aroynd Abergavenny to see if we fancied any other restaurant in the town. Having decided on Regency 59 we were...

We had a get together with a group of friends and the staff were so helpful. Unfortunately some were late arriving but they really to care of us and were flexible. The food was excellent and it will be visited again soon

My wife and I were brought here our first evening in Abergavenny. I had a one of the lamb curries with a pintvof Butty Bach and my wife had a vegetarian curry. All very tasty. Staff were friendly and efficient. Had to do another visit...

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. After all, the reviews were all very good. However, the three of us absolutely loved the food, the atmosphere and the service at this restaurant. We phoned to check there was space for us, and were being welcomed in within...

A traditional low ceiling beamed pub with stone floor and small bar along the high street of Abergavenny that is very popular with the locals. It spills out onto the street with tables and chairs on the pavement and courtyard to the side. I like...

This is a lovely place to have lunch during the day and by night it turns into an indian restaurant. Service was good and the food was really tasty

Excellent food and service with good company. Everyone agreed we would meet up there again looking forward to next month

Group of 8 dined here recently. Varied choices made for starter and main and it was all good. Interesting menu. Great service.

On visiting Abergavenny recently, we were walking past this pub. It was near to the time when pubs close after lunch till evening. So we decided to pop in and order some food before it's kitchen closed. I ordered our drinks first. I had a...
