The Lamb & Flag in Monmouthshire

It Was the second time I'd been to the pub for food within the week, due to working close near by. Very pleasant staff, as with the rest of Wales. Will visit when I'm in the area again :)

A little deviation off the Offa Dyke trail as all accommodations closeby were full. Had to taxi from Pandy/ Riverside Edge) as hotel does not organise pick ups. We got very good help from the hotel manager to find a taxi company working on the bank holiday. We got a very warm welcome, at very good food, had nice ales, and the rooms were excellent. The hotel made us a great cooked breakfast and packed lunch. And again helped us on our way with Veezu Taxi (the alternative for Uber in Newport and surrounding areas). Thanks team lovely to meet and stay with you!

Elaine was fabulous, great service, great to chat to, lovely place to have a drink, brillian, definitely recommend

The team at the lamb and flag are very welcoming. Alex who runs the pub is so accommodating and welcoming. Great place highly recommended.

I was staying in Govilon for a few days with my mum. My mum is a vegetarian and I very rarely eat meat. Our local pub in Govilon only had a couple of vegetarian options so we decided to look slightly further afield. Upon arrival at the Lamb and the flag, my mum and I were well welcomed. Staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating for the dog. Plenty of vegetarian options and the prices were reasonable. Service was quick.

Great place, great atmosphere, Alex and Lisa doing a great job and the staff are amazing, definitely recommend.

Great place, Alex is a credit to the place 5/5

Great service and friendly staff

Great food and alex was brilliant!

Fantastic service and a great team. Super friendly. I had the cheeseburger and it was amazing! If you’re in the area can’t recommend it enough

Good food and pleasant staff well worth journey. Alex and staff are brilliant👍👍

alex was our waiter, lovely service and pub atmosphere, if you’re looking for a good night with too notch food, come here!!!

Thanks so much for our lovely caravan end of season meals last night all lovely and hot and tasty and was over 30 of us Would like 2 say 20 of us had a meal last night and it was beautiful the young lady Faith was so nice very polite and helpful definitely give her 10 out of 10 and the rest of staff was lovely and helpful

Lovely service from Alex, amazing atmosphere

We stopped on our way to a family holiday and had a very nice lunch. The salad that my wife and I had was probably the best we've ever had. Well worth a stop!

Lovely honest pub food. Very well priced! Staff were very friendly on the whole. Tables could have been wiped down more promptly but I understand it was a busy Friday evening. We will return for sure. Keep up the good work.

Service was friendly, but more concerned with emptying the glass washer than serving customers, had the worst pint of Reverend James of my life, it hadn't gone off but was lifeless, surprising as this is a Brains pub.

Lovely staff, friendly and efficient.. Food delicious and served hot, nicely presented thoroughly enjoyed visit.. Will definitely visit again

Lovely service from the staff, very welcoming and friendly. The food was great, lots of choices for drinks and our twin room was clean and comfy. I would definitely stay here again thank you

Called in for Sunday dinner, really wasn't worth the price

Great pub good service and good prices meal very tasty will be calling their again

Very friendly staff, lots of seating for dining. Lovely sweetcorn and cheese veggie burger. A good covered outside area, where it is a bit quieter than inside. Plenty of parking.

Excellent customer service with delicious, tasty food. Great atmosphere.

This is a lovely inn ,very helpful friendly attentive staff and the best fish and chips I have ever tasted .My daughter had sent me a Marston's voucher for my birthday the staff managed to accept and redeem this voucher, when the Marston's pub in Brynmawr could not. We had a lovely time

Got to be fair iv been some places for a cook dinner but this was out of this world. I went and ordered and it was on the table within 10mins very hot and the beef was amazing. Very good staff which were kind and friendly.

We asked to change tables (5) as we were put on a table by the door which couldn't be closed and the wind was blowing. We were moved to another table (28). The meal was quite nice but I think it could have been a bit warmer. There were a number of people on a table behind us who had a dog. I don't think there should be dogs where people are eating, especially when there was a sign saying dogs were welcome on the opposite side of the establishment

We were made very welcome - we had never been in before, as it wasn't dog friendly; now it is! There were delays in the kitchen - but we were told about them, so all good. Staff all very friendly. No complaints at all. Well be back - in fact, we are now, having a beer outside. Food was good; only downside was they had run out of dog treats - Dylan was not happy🤣

Come here the last few weeks, absolutely amazing roast on a Sunday. Noticed it's been renovated in areas and there is such a better atmosphere. Will be back again very soon. Staff friendly and nothing too much trouble

Really nice food and plenty of parking making it very convenient for family gatherings. Prices are reasonable and good choice of food and drinks

Took my mother and nan for Sunday lunch. Lovely seating area outside. The beef dinner itself was very nice. Definitely go back again

Still my favourite place to eat. Food delicious as usual, the fish is just perfect! A very friendly and happy atmosphere today, Elaine makes us feel welcome every time we see her. We were a party of 5 during what looked like a very busy lunchtime yet nothing was too much trouble for her. Love this place, always recommend it to people!. Oh, and the 30% off main meals was an added bonus! Amazing yet again. Twice this last week.. Quiz night and host is a great laugh. Will definitely be joing it again 👍👏 Also, came back saturday and the new girl was very helpful considering it was her 1st day! Happy and smiley chelsea. Great team you have there! 👏👏 Again an amazing food date with my children and dog. Superb food, lively atmosphere and friendly staff. Elaine and sianade were very helpful. Best food in the area, by far! Came in today as a table of 3 with our young daughter. Staff were very busy but we're still very friendly and helpful. Food was hot and tasty. The lady who served us was running around constantly but still made us feel very welcome and even learned our daughters name. I think her name was either Elaine or Lorraine. All in all a fab visit. Came in again Friday and again served by Elaine. Amazing food yet again and fabulous service with a smile. Also had a young girl (called Lucy I think) who was also very professional and happy. Both made us very welcome again. Definitely our new favourite place to eat. 5*

What a stunning place.... Stunning food as well.

Great pub, good opportunity for a bit of pool, great selection of drinks and friendly staff

Had a really good time there, food was class, cheeky few drinks with my mates and would easily say I’ll be back again!

Very polite staff, good service and reasonably priced! Would recommend!

Excellent food and service, Lisa and her team went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. Food was to die for would highly recommend the mixed grill, myself and husband left extremely stuffed, to the point we had no room for dessert. We will definitely be back again soon, hopefully squeeze some some dessert in next time and have recommended this venue to all our friends and family! Thanks again Lisa and Team x

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

What a lovely quiet little pub, just out of town so it’s peaceful. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our server called jaz I think, couldn’t be anymore helpful if she tried. My food was delicious and very well cooked.

I was very happy with my food from the kitchen, I don’t know the chefs name. Waitress was called Jasmine and she was very polite

Had a lovely beef dinner on a Sunday. Had a lovely server called Jasmine, who was very polite and helpful

Very nice little place good food and our waitress jas was very polite and well mannered

I have visited The Lamb and flag on numerous occasions and normally got good service and a decent meal. On this occasion however , the Lamb and flag well and truly let us down. The resturants was may be less than a quarter full, but the meal took around 20minutes plus to arrive. My wife's Hunters chicken finally arrived. The chicken looked dry, and we had to ask the waitress to return the meal as we thought they had forgotten the bbq sauce. The waitress reply that it was under the cheese. We couldn't see any bbq sauce at all. The description stated " smothered with BBQ sauce. It was anything but. My surf and turf meal arrived of which I had paid extra for a sirloin steak, medium rare and paid extra for a merlot sauce. The meal arrived with the steak cooked medium well done to well done, and looked tiny. I informed the waitress, and she had no idea what I was talking about, and asked weather I needed the steak cooked more or less to put things right. This baffled me. I sent this back and asked for the manager. The Manager arrived and and offered to put some more bbq sauce on my wife's already dry meal, and told me there was nothing wrong with my steak, but still offered to get another cooked for me. This didnt make any sense. I have cooked in resturants myself in the past, and trust me, the steak was well overcooked. This is an awful demonstration of resturant service, and a complete lack of understanding and knowledge of their menu and how their meals should me constructed. We walked out before the meals were dealt with after offering to pay for the drinks we had already almost drank due to the wait. The manager declined payment. It will be the last time I will ever visit this restaurant again, after visiting for over 30 years. just awful.

Great place for a lunch or dinner, food quality really good, not too pricey. 4 electric fast charging points too which is a bonus.

Arrived after 8pm on a Thirsday for one night, checked in, had an evening meal (good burger!) and an early night. Breakfast was nice and decent value. Staff were all lovely and helpful. Parking was easy and convenient.

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.

Service ok, food ok and that's all you can really say about it. Competitively priced but over an hour and fifteen minutes wait for 4 meals and then one of the meals being incorrect isn't ideal. Used to be such a lovely place to dine but feels run down and not cared for now.

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.

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.

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

Been several times always consistent

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Lovely atmosphere Lovely food Lovely staff Toilets spotless

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 !

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.
