Diane and the girls were super accommodating and helpful, even with last minute additional numbers joining the family party! ALL the food was obviously cooked fresh with generous portions. Very tasty too! We've had several visits and never disappointed. Welll done ladies and a big thank you for making it a lovely evening.

Came for my Nan's Birthday. There was quite a few of us but Dianne and her granddaughter were brilliant. Nothing we asked for was too much! They helped us with the balloons and decorations and got everything set up 😊 There was a small wait for food but as there was so many of us, its to be expected. The food was absolutely incredible, the chicken curry, burgers and steak in particular. All dietary requirements were well catered for. We've already been back for Sunday lunch and will be heading back again 🙌 Thank you so much all!!

Very disappointed. There were maybe 30 guests. We were the only ones in the building. All meals had been pre booked. We didn’t start having the meals for over an hour and a half after we arrived. The meals were coming out of the kitchen two at a time, so that by the time most people had finished eating , only then a few of us were getting their meal! When we did finally have what we ordered, which took 4 hours in total, I have to say that the food was good. Very hot and good potions. Then dessert. Most of what people had ordered was off the menu. We all had to change our choices. I had the lemon and mango cheesecake. It was completely frozen and drowned in cream. Not good. Such a shame as a few years ago we had Christmas Day lunch there and it was fantastic. New owners apparently…. Would I go back… no. Do I recommend a visit….. not if there’s more than 2 of you…

Only giving it a three because maybe there were reasons … We decided to give this another go hoping the new owners had transformed it ! Nothing has changed in terms of decor , menus and ambience. We waited at the bar rang bell twice and no service. So we left … The amount of social media marketing that is done to encourage you to visit and then it’s less than inviting is so disappointing. There is so much competition in Usk so at this rate they do not stand a chance.

3 of us called in here at 12.30 forlunch .There were a couple of workmen in but no one else.As we were about to order drinks 2 more ladies came in.The manager remarked they were on their own but that didn't seem a problem as only 5 of us in.We ordered food and waited.And waited.Took an hour for our 3 meals to come out.The other 2 ladies ordered chips & a stuff mushroom, this took over half an hour.All the time the manager mentioned wd they were on their own.Wr never got offered another drink .We felt like we had inconvenienced the pub for turning up.. The food was good when we finally got it but seems ridiculous that one pers9n couldn't cope with 3 main meals.Reminded me a bit of Fawlty Towers

This place was amazing. The food was excellent and they couldn't do enough for you. They even surprised me with a piece of birthday cake, which none of my party ordered, but we only mentioned it was a birthday lunch. I think this is our new favourite pub. I would definitely recommend this. Food prices were very reasonable and garden will only be prettier as they were busy planting more flowers.

Used to love this pub, service and food was always excellent. Under new ownership today's visit was far from satisfactory. To start with the owner/ manager was telling his child off in the bar area infront of customers. The children sat in the bar area, the man was actually smoking a cigarette inside. Seemed more like their living room. We waited for an hour and a quarter for our meals even though the place was quiet. Even then they managed to get one out of 4 orders incorrect! We had to go and get our own cutlery. The lady who served us was very apologetic and really was doing her best. The garden used to be so pretty, now it just looks unkempt. As there are many other places to eat in Usk we will not be returning.

Came for mother's day celebration with family. Woefully understaffed. Staff didn't appear to understand that if they are only serving Sunday lunch, the menu needs to make that clear. No clear vegetarian option available. 2 out of 4 starters weren't available. Hideously long wait for food, which when it eventualy arrived (after more than an hour) was very mediocre. Yorkshire pudding was crisp to the point of inedible, very little vegetables for us all. Altogether a very disappointing meal. Front of house Staff couldn't apologise enough. They could see just how shoddy it all was.

New owners - thought we would try Sunday lunch. No menu available , had to wait until staff came to the table. Asked for menu, told that they would read it out to us. No Carvery available despite FB advertising saying that it was. ( Apparently, three weeks later still not available) Food was served quickly. Obviously prepped in advance and microwaved. The vegetables were like molten lava outside , yet cold inside. Meat was still at fridge chilled temperature. Having finished eating , we were ignored for twenty minutes whilst staff argued among themselves , whilst stood at the bar, about the Till, which seemed to be malfunctioning. No dessert menu offered . Eventually after 25 mins sat with dirty plates in front of us we paid the bill and left . Understanding that you are new proprietors, you have some serious competition within the Usk area. You simply have to up your game.

Just returned from a wonderful Sunday roast lunch at the Olway. Exceptional food - we had the roast beef - mine beautifully rare and our guest well done. The other guests had slow roast pork - so tender with wonderful crispy crackling. The vegetables were excellent- wonderful range and not over cooked. Moreover, the Olway is very wheelchair friendly with flat entry and toilet access from the tables in the bar. Excellent service and great atmosphere too. Will definitely return.

Just rang to book a table for Sunday lunch in September for the family. Twelve of us. Straight away we were dismissed and told he was far too short staffed to accommodate us! They are fully booked nearly every Sunday with early more than twelve people eating in the bar and restaurant. Just saw a review from July and you had a table of 9 for Sunday lunch. We just wanted three more spaces Doesn’t make people feel very welcome.

Sunday lunch for 9, food was exceptional. Between us we had all the different options for Sunday lunch - all of which were delicious and generous portions. Yorkshires were huge, pork crackling was perfect. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Puddings were yummy - ice cream option for the kids.

It came with a poppadom and rice as well as chips.I had the southern fried chicken which was a full breast with a crispy coating. It came with homemade slaw, salad and I ordered chips.Again very good. The chips had skins on and were tasty.We stayed round the bar and had a few ciders & gins whilst chatting with the locals.For breakfast we had the usual juice, coffee and full breakfast. The sausages and mushrooms were particularly tasty.No toast came which we had to ask for but all in all the breakfast was pretty good.We are in the restaurant area which looked to be being prepared for a function.The decor and pub in general needs a refresh - see room review.Food wise very good.

We visited the olway whilst staying at friends. It's a lovely country pub set in a picturesque part of the world. We were warmly greeted at the door and shown to our table by the waitress who was friendly and very professional. The food was freshly cooked and the vegetables came from the restaurants veg garden located to the side of the restaurant. Portions were big but not too excessive to spoil the quality and overall dining experience. Overall the whole experience including the food was beautiful and I would reccomend the Olway to anyone.

There was a great selection of pub meals on the menu with something for everyone. There was also at least four fish options. We sat outside in the pub garden which was lovely and well kept with gorgeous countryside surroundings. The staff were very friendly. We ordered at the bar. I had the ribeye steak which was slightly overcooked but still nice. The onion rings were huge and crispy. Chips were a bit greasy but plenty of them. The portions were very big and good value for money.

We wanted to explore a bit more of Usk and on travelling round the back of the village we came across this pub and restaurant. Sat out in the garden with our drinks admiring the flower beds. Had an informative chat with one member of staff, as he cleared the tables of glasses, which was good of him as they had been very busy.Can't comment on food, as we will have to return another time to sample, but drinks were good in clean glasses. Prices are average for the area.

Poor choice on the lunch time menu, nothing for just a quick lunch. Which turned out ok, as when we took our drinks into the garden where we would have had our lunch. a young guy went around picking up dog poo!!!! There was a lot of it. Not great if you are eating. The offending dog was running freely around the garden, even though it was muzzled it was not a nice dog. It was able to bite and lift a toy ball through the muzzle. No way would I have allowed my child to play in the pub garden. The dog also had free run of the inside of the pub where people were eating. The beer was fine. But I don’t see myself ever returning.

Myself and 14 others came here last night for a gathering which was very important to us all and it’s quite rare to have us all together as we all live in different parts of the country. we booked here as the reviews were good and myself and my partner had stayed here overnight before and enjoyed our visit. When we arrived the tables too big round ones were separate, we pushed them together thinking it wouldn’t be a problem as we had a few less than before. The lady chef then came out to tell us we couldn’t move one of the tables due to it being handmade and we said we’d moved the other table and we didn’t see the problem she then went on to say that it would be too difficult for the staff to get around the table (it was easily accessible) honestly I looked at her clueless to see what the problem was as the restaurant was quite. She then went on to say your very late anyway and that we basically needed to hurry up ( we were 15 minutes late due to family being stuck in traffic from Devon)! After this we did leave the tables how we had put them and nothing else was said as to be honest being a big table and that we hadn’t seen each other in a long time we wanted to all sit together to chat. Once the food came the staff and everything was amazing! The food was especially amazing, everyone enjoyed there meals! I understand that it was a Saturday night and you have a small team but if the welcome wasn’t so blunt it would of been perfect!

My wife needed to arrange the restaurant facilities of The Olway Inn for the wake following a family funeral. These gatherings are especially difficult to cater for as it is impossible to know how many mourners will attend. Our requirements were discussed with Nicola and Matt, the owners. We were immediately reassured that, if the number of people we had determined increased, Nicola would be able to cope. We were not disappointed, and the pressure was lifted from us. Beautifully prepared sandwiches accompanied by hot and varied buffet food. Many people commented on the presentation and the way the staff coped with the numbers attending. A big thank you to Nicola and staff for their professionalism in a difficult situation. We have also enjoyed excellent Sunday lunches at The Olway.

Sunday Lunch with friends, what a pleasant lunch good car parking and warm surroundings easy to find . Warm welcome and good sized table food not fus. Scallop starter was cooked to perfection still raw in middle and black pudding cut thin to compliment scallops not overpower them. Roast beef perfectly cooked and carved fresh not reheated plenty of fresh veg and proper roasties Yorkshire pudding not huge and dry but perfectly cooked and moist, gravy fresh and tasted of beef rather than a brown liquid like a lot of places. I didn't pudding as was full but rest of party ate with gusto the pear rating was good (stole a fork full) coffee fresh and not stewewd will return at last a good Sunday Lunch

We were told this is the place to go for a steak . We both were keen to enjoy a nice Surloin , ordered them but both were watery chewy , tasteless hubby smothered his in peppercorn sauce and embarrassed to complain he chewed and chewed . I however complained and sent mine back , and without hesitation they asked if I would order something else . looking at the curries on the tables looked very good but don't go there for a steak to waste £18 a time .

Tried this restaurant for lunch on 05/11/16. The pub gave the impression it was hanging on by a thread, it was cold, the food to be fair was ok but nothing to write home about. Service was good. It is difficult to describe the food, it was hot, plentiful, but could only be described as uninspiring and boring. I left over half of mine and my wife left a good third of hers. It would be a good place to visit in the summer months as the gardens were large and pleasant. To go for a meal? I would give it a miss, plenty of much better places in the area.

Four of us walked here from Usk and had a magnificent meal. Good choice of ales and nice staff.The only disappointing side is that this is a pub that has seats all around the bar, lovely for those sat on one and a real pain for anyone wanting to be served or see what the beer choices are!

We paid a bit extra and had a mix of beef pork and lamb. All meats come with a Yorkshire pudding. The veg is really good. The lamb and pork was so soft and tender. This is a really good. Sunday lunch ! Desserts are excellent too. We'll be back very soon

Group of 8 us went for dinner on a Saturday night. Food was served at very reasonable time. The quality and presentation was very good, very impressed. For a pub it very good, don't be fooled. The only issue we had was taking ages to get bill but very good value. Will be coming back here for food.

The room is pretty basic but has everything one needs. The rooms are located in the part of the house that is separate from the pub and they are accessible from the car park. The B&B is located in a beautiful spot, short walking distance from the town centre. I ordered food but the restaurant was so busy that I had to wait for about two hours to get my order!!!

We have been loyal patrons of The Olway since it opened 10 years ago. We love the consistently high standards of food which Nicola has never failed to deliver. The specials menu always offers a wide choice of dishes and consequently we always struggle to make our choices. The bar menu offers favourite pub food but again it's always home made, the steak and ale pie being a favourite. Everything is cooked to perfection. The crisp white linen napkins complement the meal and we always enjoy the fresh bread with oil and vinegar. If you want excellent food reasonably priced you won't be disappointed!

This is an excellent example of what a great English country pub should be like. Great service, great beer and great food!If stopping over the rooms are spotless and quiet with nice views. The extra touches of bottles of water, toiletries and a nice tea/coffee tray etc in the room top off a very comfortable stay.

Not sure where to start as everything was so fantastic!!!From start to finish The Olway Inn owners and staff got it all 100% perfect. The 3 course meal was of the highest quality they catered for our 22 guests with class and elegance. The portion size was fantastic (not too big,not too small)The desserts were unbelievablely good, everything home made to perfection. The two young waitresses Chelsea and her colleague were fantastic, professional, friendly and there was nothing they wouldn't do for us. The owners are more than accommodating and they should be extremely proud of what a fantastic success the Olway Inn is. From a price point of view (my personal opinion) they should charge more for the quality you receive. Thankyou so much all of you at the Olway for making our wedding day just perfect

I just love this place so much. Have been there so many times now and the food is consistently excellent, faultless and reasonably priced. The owners, Matt and Nicola are so welcoming. They also have a great team of attentive staff.Everything on the menu is home-made and sourced locally. If you have not eaten here please try the place as soon as possible you will not regret it!

Came here on a Sunday evening with my dad, was so nice to see it so busy! I had a burger and chips, and it has got to be the nicest burger I've had. So fresh, with so much flavour and no grease! The waitress was so nice and pleasant, running the front on her own. The best member of staff (and clearly the boss of the place) was the gorgeous dog in the bar! Just bumbling around and no trouble at all. Such a lovely place, you feel so welcome and will definitely come back again (especially as I hear your roast dinners are to die for!)

I'm not a fan of eating Sunday lunch out as I always feel like I could have done better at home. After a day out with the dog we decided to stop off at the Olway and we were not disappointed by the Sunday lunch menu. It was a really good home cooked meal. Crunchy roast potatoes, perfectly cooked meat and a cosy corner table in the bar for the 3 of us (including the dog, We do love a dog friendly pub).The desserts were both really enjoyable and beautifully presented.Good value for money, excellent service and comfortable surroundings.

We booked a Sunday lunch here after reading TA reviews. Our first choice was unavailable due to another event, so we chose here before we headed home after our weekend break. After a beef (for him)and a belly pork (me) dinner with Yorkshire puds, savoy cabbage, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli with roast potatoes, we were just too full for a dessert. The place is popular with local people and I can see why. For just under £22 total we both had a good wholesome meal. We will return.

Decided to walk to the closest pub which is the Olway. We had read reviews about the food and thought was worth a try. Its a local pub, slightly out of the way with rooms. It had a welcoming feel and at 5.30pm was already busy. We ordered drinks and sat to look at the menu. Both of us chose the home made steak and ale pie, it was encased in pastry which is always a winner over casserole with a puff lid that most pubs serve. Pie was lovely served with veg and mash. Our overall bill was £40 with drinks so great value. Great visit and they welcome dogs which is a plus. We will be back.

This has to be one of my favourite places for Sunday Lunch. The food is always delicious (try the tart tatin and custard), staff are very good, helpful and efficient.One thing that always strikes me on entering the restaurant is the gleaming glasses and cutlery and pristine table linen; this sets the standard and it doesn't fall down. Thank you very much!

Tried again, back to normal standards, service good, staff polite and friendly, the Sunday lunch had the old favourites in the main course with good range of vegetables. The starters were king prawns and poachers pate, both very tasty. Overall a joy to have a meal here.

Took my sales team here for lunch, 10 of us in total. The food is incredible and you certainly won’t go hungry. Everyone at the pub is friendly and can’t do enough for you. Feels like a good old fashioned boozer set in an amazing position on the Wye. Everyone only had good things to say about the place. Steak is a specialty here. No hesitation in recommending the Rose and Crown. Thanks all who looked after us that day.

Had to wait for table although booked. Waited a very long time between courses although when food came it was good. Very crowded and not a pleasant experience. Would not recommend and would not visit again

Lovely Irish landlady was extremely accommodating to me & my two boys.. Service was how service used to be before the big pub chains took over everything… Food was brilliant.. Had to have the bread pudding as haven’t had it since I was a kid.. took me right back! Definitely recommend and will return 👌🏼
