The Lamb & Flag in Monmouthshire

Restaurant comfortable with plenty of room between tables.. Food, service and drinks selection very good. Reasonably priced and well presented. Toilets facilities clean and tidy. Plenty of parking space. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Wow, ok so lets rate my experience of booking.. horrible robotic ai options. there's nothing worse than going through a switchboard. You can surely get another number for your hotel and let staff answer the call if available, I understand if you are busy it goes to answer machine. Anyway option 3 and I got a friendly person, I have booked and will update this later, so far my expectations are low, so lets hope you exceed them.

Although it's a typical chain pub the staff are much better than expected. An added bonus is that it has EV charging in the car park.

Call last for meal at the lamb and flag Abergavenny it was burger and chips well fort they kick round the pub black fire back not the best people they was dog poo on the floor ask the staff if they clean it they said to me u clean it up just dog poo sorry that your job all staff

Great food great staff and super value place to eat. Highly recommended

Been several times always consistent

A must place to visit if you want excellent service, good food and a great atmosphere, bar and restaurant very clean and a warm welcome too

Waited ages for our meal and we wasn't impressed. Sadly will not be returning

When we arrived it was busy had to have a seat outside . Ordered food was told a hour wait ! Waited well over a hour when food came the one meal came wrong , it was taken back and said won't be long we then went on to wait an extra 20 mins for my friends food to come back right by then we had both eaten our meals separately ! We ordered mush peas to accompany our fish we didn't even have those on our plate wasn't given no cutlery went and got our own poor really for our first visit

Received vouchers in the post. Didn't really know about the Lamb and Flag in Abergavenny until then, so decided to have a day out, then had a meal at 5pm on the way home. Love the location and also that we could take our dog in too. Good choice of food and should have been easy to order online, but the website wouldn't accept the code. Took it to the bar and even the member of staff couldn't get it to work, so ordered manually. Meal arrived in good time and was really lovely. I managed to order the puddings online okay and didn't have to wait long either. Will definitely visit again. Staff very nice and friendly.

Nope. I'm only going to review my own personal experience with Lamb & Flag, I get it that others may have had a great experience here (we checked Google maps beforehand and read some good reviews) however that was not the case for me and my family. After a week camping in North Wales, we searched for a pub on our route home that served food and had amenities for children, in this case a playground area, which was tired and had two slides and a rocking horse that was it. The booking was automated via telephone, no worries about that. We arrived on a Wednesday at 6.45pm for two adults and three children to what seemed like a busy pub with plenty of seating. We ordered on the scan code which directed us to a webpage. After putting most of the food on there, it froze so we had to repeat the process which was kind of annoying but whatever, we did it again and the food was ordered. We waited about 1 hour 15 minutes for the food to arrive and only after we asked a member of staff where the food was. At this point the pub wasn't so busy, we saw around three or four other families eating - next to us was another family with kids who ordered before us and all food came out except for one of the adults. They had all finished their meals when the final plate for them came out, so he was eating alone... Now, with three hungry children and after over an hour wait, the food arrived (we didn't get an update to why it was late during our wait or an apology for the wait itself). The kids meals on the menu stated that it came with carrot and cucumber sticks. They arrived with just carrots, roughly cut and too much of them, like it was substituted for the cucumber. Anyone with kids knows that cucumbers are the best, when there was none the kids kicked right off. One of the kids had gammon, the other had chicken strips and the last had pasta. The gammon was alright to be fair, the chicken strips there was only three, cooked from frozen small nuggets the type you get from Iceland. The pasta (for our two year old) came out scolding hot in a metal serving dish so spend five minutes cooling it down for the lad. Onto the mains, the wife had sirloin and ordered peppercorn sauce and got gravy with added (additional cost) mushrooms where she got about five button ones for like 2 quid odd extra. The steak itself was one third grissle. I had the mega meat platter. Felt like the steaks (ribeye and sirloin) were the end of bag cuts and was unimpressive. Four over cooked sausages and two half breast chicken fillets which had the weirdest texture, possibly cooked from frozen however I dunno but it didn't feel fresh. This was my personal experience with this place, maybe it was a bad day with a lack of staff, again I dunno but would definitely not recommend this place as the experience was a bad one. All this for 90 odd quid, it's a no from me.

Appalling service. We waited almost an hour for food and even then they forgot a kids meal so long we almost all finished our mains and the kids meal came out the same time as a dessert. My first Pint was completely flat (cider) so thought I'd order a soft drink (pepsi) to be safe which was also flat. My brother went to ask about the kids meal at the bar and a waiter replied with "I've just clocked off". Piss poor experience and doubt I'll return. Seen better service in a kebab shop at 01:00am

Nice location but really poor food and service. Told there was a 30 min wait for food but it took over an hour.

Absolutely shocking service 1 hour 20 minutes waiting for food waitress havnt a clue how to speak look at you like you had horns coming out of your head we ordered food and after ten minute or more got told no chicken strips waited 20 mins for drinks to be bought to table as they forget drinks Asked the waitress where I food was she. Just looked at us and walked off so after a hour and 20 mins I asked for money back as could not sit there any longer think your staff need a bit of training how to deal with customers as the waitress had no customer skills will not be returning very dissatisfied as gone a number of times

Waited for about 40 minutes for our starters (the restaurant was half empty). The starters were quite awful the garlic bread was just a piece of bread with garlic butter, the mozzarella bites tasted like nothing the only thing which was mildly okay was the prawn cocktail. After another 40 minutes got our mains and they were up to totally unacceptable standards the veg were watery, my veg cauliflower tart I could not get the fork to pierce the bottom of it, the chicken platter for some reason came with ribs instead of chicken wings also managed to find a scampi in the dish which definitely does not belong there which is a ground for concerns as it’s not safe food preparation for people with allergies, some of the dishes were cold and I can keep going. I work in a hospitality business myself and I can understand if it’s busy or there’s new staff but honestly there’s not a single good thing I can say about our experience.

Brilliant food! Drinks were great, staff amazing and garden in the sun was a delight!

Absolutely shocking service received we ordered food them 10 minutes later got told no chicken stripe so ordered fish fingers instead which when bought out was burnt overcooked and in bits sent them back another 10 minutes for the waitress to come back and ask did I still want fish finger's 1 hour and 20 mins sat there waiting for food and probably with no sign of coming out asked the waitress where food was she just looked at as stupid and walked off no sorry or anything so went to bar and complained and asked for money back as could not sit there any longer will not return as think very unprofessional waitress serving meals that just havnt a clue

A lovely, friendly pub with an EV charger. Service was great and food was tasty for the money. Will be back, thank you to the team!

Absolutely outstanding Service, from all members of staff you’re a credit too you’re jobs. Myself and my elderly nan was running late, rang ahead to explain nothing but understanding on the phone. We arrived to a lovely welcome, food was absolutely delicious. Thank you for our excellent experience we definitely will be back.

Staff were so friendly and welcoming, pub was lovely, food was great, room was really clean, mattress was comfy, lovely to have tea efc in room too.

Food is lovely and the staff are great. Won't hesitate to return.

Nice friendly pub .. food good .. staff extremely pleasant and polite

Wonderful breakfast, so fresh and hot, classic breakfast and my husbands poached eggs on toast was Devine. Will defiantly return again Lovely staff Everyone seemed happy Very clean ,

Unless a fly in your breakfast is for you avoid at all costs ! No apology either

A lovely place to visit, we popped in Saturday evening having not booked anywhere and tried elsewhere up the road first and basically got told to bugger off as we hadn’t booked. Drove past the Lamb and Flag and thought we would give it a go, they were only to happy to accommodate two is us unlike some of there competitors. The service was good and the food was excellent and we ended up eating 3 courses each plus drinks. Would defo recommend this as a place to eat and drink.

Nice location just outside Abergavenny. Large car park. Very clean and well-lit. Food range very good and reasonably priced.

Had an amazing evening at the Lamb and Flag for a 60th Anniversary. Family meal with 11 of us, staff were very helpful service was fantastic and the food was lovely. Would highly recommend

Average Food with average prices. Cleanliness was very good and venue is well worth a visit. However please be prepared for slow service in every respect.

Went for valentines night. Good service, lovely food , clean place ,lots of parking space,

Stopped for lunch. Food very disappointing and tasteless and expensive for what we received..Had cheese sarnie, kids meals etc and some very flat cokes..shame as nice spot. Rip.off Britain strikes again.

Came in for Breakfast, lovely food and service. Kat was incredible and made us all feel welcome.

We had a delicious lunch here yesterday and will definitely return! Staff are friendly and attentive. Excellent, swift service and food is good value for money. Tasty, well portioned food, couldn’t fault it!

Extensive menu, good ales, warm welcome and great service. Being dog friendly, including a dog food menu is a real plus. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family

Stayed overnight in our motorhome friendly staff, great food great pub

Stayed for free in motorhome Had meal, great serves , food and price. Dog friendly Defo come back

The gent who served us our drink a & food was great. We were held up in traffic by 45 minutes as the Severn bridge was closed, which caused chaos driving as Magor was a standstill. Very accommodating as we were allowed to eat 45 minutes later when we arrived! Puddings were good!

We had just finished hiking up Sugar Loaf Mountain & came across this pub. We had our dogs with us, so it was nice to see it was dog friendly. As soon as we walked in we got asked if we had a reservation (we didn’t) but this didn’t seem to be a problem. We sat down in the dog friendly area. Staff are really friendly & talkative. Even though it was busy, we didn’t wait long to get served. We only ordered drinks and didn’t order food. Will visit again.

Lovely atmosphere Lovely food Lovely staff Toilets spotless

I didn’t eat but I have been here a couple of times on my visit to wales. Very welcoming and friendly staff and will definitely be back here when I visit again

I have now been back to Lamb and Flag many times and I make sure to pay a visit on my every return from the Brecons. It's a lovely welcoming pub with comfy chairs perfect for after a long day's walking. Plus the staff are brilliant and friendly and the food is always brilliant no matter what I've ordered. I will definitely be back many more times and fully recommend others visit too

To be honest we had stopped going as the food had become poor in quality and value for money. We decided to try it again as it has changed hands. We were pleasantly surprised at the meals we had. They were definitely better prepared and presented. We will be coming back.

Lovely little pub, plenty of tables, good menu and lovely staff. Affordable and delicious

Went in just for drinks but had lovely service from the bar man named Alex, would definitely stop in again for food!

Everything about this place is fantastic . The food was delicious. The staff were friendly and prompt ! We will be returning . The butterflies mean everything as do the angel numbers . Thank you for chatting with me . Fantastic place . We will be back !

Love it here, been before, love the revamp, just what it needed, feels fresh and staff are lovely. Food was great too x

After correspondence with Lisa, it was agreed we could park our motorhome in the carpark overnight. We'd reserved a table in the dog friendly area (with our 2 dogs) and made to feel most welcome. The service and food were all fantastic, such good value! We are looking forward to returning very soon. Thank you.

Great little country pub on the edge of Abergavenny. Convenient stop for lunch on your way to mid and west wales

Stayed at the Lamb and Flag for 3 nights Room lovely and bed very comfy evening meals really good can't say the same for Breakfast there were just two of us in the restaurant looking faward to a freshly cooked breakfast, only to be disappointed to get a sausage that was bullet proof had dried out inside couldn't get the fork into it, hard egg, and cold mushrooms I was very disappointed you would think that they would make the effort to give us a freshly cooked breakfast I wouldn't recommend breakfast here

Christmas Lunch on Christmas Day, Lovely Jubblies. Easy recommend.

We wanted to get away for the weekend! This place was perfect! The staff were friendly, the place was cozy with a lovely atmosphere! A small hotel with only a few rooms but it was perfect for us! Will be back! Thank you to Lisa and the team!

Friendly staff. The rooms were immaculate and lovely and warm. Food was very good. Would definitely recommend and return.

Me and my husband have been going to lamb and flag for years and never had a bad meal. Good price good atmosphere and good food

Great food, lovely atmosphere and lovely staff too

Unfortunately, my recent visit to the Lamb and Flag was a disappointment. The food was far below expectations—bland, poorly cooked, and lacking any redeeming quality. Dishes that should have been comforting classics felt rushed and uninspired. The atmosphere didn’t help matters either; the place felt cold and uninviting, with no effort put into creating a welcoming or enjoyable dining experience. It was eerily quiet, with none of the charm you’d hope for in such a setting. The only redeeming feature was the service, which was average at best. Staff were polite enough but seemed indifferent, offering little to improve the overall experience. Overall, it’s hard to find a reason to return. With so many better options out there, the Lamb and Flag failed to make any impression worth revisiting.

We have been here a few times! It’s lovely! Food is delicious and quick! Lisa is friendly and nothing is ever too much for her! I would highly recommend!

Really nice Sunday lunch. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Can't recommend highly enough.

Popped in for a drink while charging the car - great service, clean toilets, nice seating, no drama about not booking. I would happily go back for a meal.

Fantastic service, great food, lovely staff. We will be back.

The Staff where very friendly and very helpful and acted as if they actually wanted to be there which is nice to see. The tables where clean the eating area was a nice environment.

Nice friendly staff, good service , nice food , loads of parking and outside seating and play area for kids

We came for the festive menu for our work Christmas meal, which was supposed to be in December but due to a bit of chaos on our part, we had to move it. The staff were very accommodating, rearranged our booking for us, moved the deposit for us and let us keep with the festive menu, they were friendly, helpful, the food was delicious and we all had a lovely time. We've been to places more expensive where the food has been lesser to The Lamb and Flag, so we definitely enjoyed our visit.

Lovely country pub serving good food

Friendly staff, delicious food at reasonable prices and a clean environment. On our very first visit we were so impressed we booked a family meal for a birthday treat just a couple of days later! Will definitely visit again.

Fantastic,very friendly and helpful staff. Service was great, food was great, drinks were great, prompt service, dining area is clean and tidy and beautiful interior. Bar is well stocked, lots of variety on food and drinks. Warm and cosy feel. Great location with epic views. 100% can recommend this place 👌🏼 enjoy !

So surprised to find this lovely welcoming place on a Monday midday. Very nice food and SO reasonable! Thank you

We recently visited this warm and welcoming pub and had a fantastic experience. The menu offered an impressive variety for both kids and adults, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. The cozy atmosphere was perfect for a chilly day, making it a great place to relax. I also noticed the dartboard and pool table, which looked like a lot of fun—we’ll definitely make use of them on our next visit. Highly recommended for a friendly, family-oriented outing with great food and a lovely environment!

Amazing staff, very friendly. We came after our hiking and we had a really good time in the pub. The food was delicious, they are also dog friendly, highly recommended!!

Met friends for lunch. Great food and efficient friendly staff.

Warm friendly place, simple food cooked well and hot. Very friendly staff. Drinks a little too expensive.

Went for a Christmas get together. Good food.

Christmas day dinner, I believe we were the last sitting and it must have been a very busy day. Despite this the place was clean tidy and cosy and the staff greeted us with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The overall experience was excellent. ,

On first visit for lunch, month before, food was exceptional. When booked for Boxing Day meal.... Completely the opposite. AWFUL. Savings grace was the bar staff. Excellent.

Christmas lunch was perfect in every way possible. All the hot food was served at the correct temperature & very tasty. It couldn't have gone any better. Nothing was too much trouble for your excellent staff. Our experience was outstanding and we will definitely recommend you to our family and friends. Looking forward to next Christmas. Thank you all. 😀

Came for Christmas dinner there with 14 of us including children, we came for the final seating. The staff were amazing. Greeted with smiles when it had obviously been a busy day. The venue was clean and tidy, the table laid up. Service was well paced and smooth. Cannot praise the staff enough.

Great place to unwind and relax.

We took our two grandsons to have 'breakfast with Santa' on 21st December. The boys really enjoyed it and we all had a great time. the breakfast was very good, the staff were brilliant and the Grinch and Santa really made the boys day. It was very well organised, a great price and we will definitely be going again next year.

we had breakfast with Santa this morning and my little girl absolutely loved her few hours with you. Santa made so much effort to make it special and the Grinch was just on top form. The food was also really lovely and good quality products used Thank you for making my daughter's day today 🫶🏼❤️

Came here for santa and his special guest. What a lovely time we had. Food was outstanding. Staff was lovely. And santa was brilliant. His guest was the grinch. Omg he was so funny, my kids loved it. Thank you ever so much. We will be back again

Staff outstandingly friendly and helpful, even though it was very busy. Food great too.

We had breakfast with Santa and the grinch yesterday Was truly magical and funny with the naughty grinch !!! The staff was amazing and was so good with the children and made everyone feel so welcome . The breakfast was served quickly and hot and was delicious!! Staff came to check each table and make sure we was ok My daughter had a amazing time and the staff was so kind and friendly with her made it even more magical for her as so kind Highly recommend Definitely be coming back for food again

A welcoming place that's dog friendly, the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely with ensuite showers, sink and toilet. TV and tea and coffee. Very comfortable stay in a beautiful place.

Friendly and helpful staff, steak grilled to perfection ( medium rare), chips mushrooms all perfect. The pudding was out of this world and if I had enough room I would have ordered a second helping.

Value for money, great food, lots of it.. staff where attentive and friendly, what more can you ask for, spacious restaurant with lovely views also. All of the staff were brilliant, it’s a job to know who the landlady or landlord was as they all acted as if they were.

I had planned a 2 nite stay due to builders at home i arrived at approx 615 and was booked with ease and patience I have parkinsons disease and quite slow the staff assisted me to the room and ensured I was settled in I was extremely happy with the room and the shower was accessible the only suggestion I would have wall bar as parkinsons affects balance this would assist safety I later had a fantastic bar meal but on finishing felt my mobility become difficult a member of staff could see.i was.in difficulty and politely asked could she help and I was helped upstairs to my room the staff were all polite and professional I settled down for the night only to be awoken in early hrs by fire alarm The staff took professional control and staff were outside my room to assist if needed I have daily challenges while in the community with my parkinson but felt the lamb and flag performed 100% i felt safe warm and protected. Had great 2days good food good beer professional friendly staff i highly reccomend the lamb and flag Dave Smith

We stayed at the lamb and flag in a room that stank of glue it turns out. We were moved to another room that smelt less but still woke up feeling ill. Is it actually legal to be open when dangerous chemicals are being used openly on the premises?

Staff are so welcoming and friendly ,always so helpful, everytime we come to abergavenny we visit the lamb and flag, and the food is always excellent, we went on Sunday for dinner and it was amazing, my husband had a large turkey and it was large,with 2 massive Yorkshires, and a severing of cauliflower cheese, we love going here to eat, it just makes are time in abergavenny more special

Nice to see the place doing well again, staff are friendly & food is good

Stopped at the Lamb and Flag on way home from visitng Tretower Court. Was perfect place for a lovely dinner. Really enjoyed the burgers we had and the chicken wing starter. Would return if we are ever up this way again.

Dined as a family of 6. From start to finish Elaine was friendly and professional. Haven't eaten here for a few years and I must say the food was way better this time. Will definitely be returning. Great food choice and nice to see happy staff who make you and your children feel very welcomed.

We both had the mega mixed grill and wow it was amazing top quality service top quality food thank you and thank you lewis and bar staff amazing

We really enjoyed the experience! The pub was clean, tidy and a welcoming place to be and this was also reflected in the room. The facilities were great and we had no issues. The staff at the hotel were really polite and welcoming! The food was also really nice with a great selection on draught at the bar!

Friendly staff. Slow service. One person taking food/drinks orders and also making drinks (including hot drinks) when we were there. Don't order a coffee of any kind, it's just not worth it - stick to tea or a cold drink. Food was nice. Pudding arrived quickly.

Excellent food and friendly service

Fantastic as always , great food and amazing staff . Always come here , always will . Always open , good prices . See you again soon

What a lovely pub. Elaine couldn’t have been any more welcoming, and hosted an excellent pub quiz. Perfect venue to explore the Brecon Beacons. Great atmosphere, good food, very friendly staff. Room was good with fantastic views.

5 stars for one reason and one reason only. Probably the best pint of Guinness I've had outside St James's Gate, Dublin!

Delicious breakfast and really fun Halloween activities for the kids, Kat is a firm favourite. Highly recommend visiting

Fantastic value for money great venue

Only used the ev charging point 😆

We've had some lovely meals at the Lamb and Flag but today wasn't to the normal standard. If we had more time, I would have sent my meal back. Hopefully it was just a one off?
