Amazing to have the choice of the whole menu. I had cheeseburger gnocchi. Really tasty and lots of it. Would be nice to have a few more dishes where veggies were the focus but I very much enjoyed it and would go back. Everyone else enjoyed it too and most were meat eaters so that’s definitely a good sign.

This is my second visit and I can not fault the food. I had the katsu curry and rice the portions are so good, the quality of the food is amazing. Staff are so helpful and it has a friendly relaxed feeling. If you are vegan or vegetarian and in the area it's a must visit.

Completely lived up to expectation. Welcome warm. Food amazing. Staff lovely. So lovely to eat plant based food prepared by people who care, it makes all the difference. Great value for money too. For those of you, yet to find a vegan cheese you like you have to try the Mac and cheese! Awesome

We went to the Queen Inn to celebrate the occasion of my 53rd birthday. I’ve been vegetarian for around 43 of those years and it still never ceases to delight me when I get the rare opportunity to enjoy a new meat-free restaurant. It still feels novel to be able to open a menu and pick from anything on there, rather than being restricted to two or three choices. And inclusiveness is what this place is all about. We’re usually treated as the misfit family when we go out, being veggie and also having a daughter with a severe tree nut allergy. Upon asking about nuts we were informed that the restaurant is completely nut free. To top it all the menu is written in dyslexic-friendly font and colour scheme, which delighted the same daughter, who’s also dyslexic. It’s just such an uncommonly nice feeling not to feel different, and to feel catered for, when going out. Living near Barry, the Queen Inn is just a 45-ish minute trip away. I first came it across it on YouTube when I was looking for ideas on where to eat locally. I had high hopes and thought I knew what to expect, but I’m happy to say that I was still blown away and delightedf by the quality of the whole experience. The food is just magnificent - I thought I knew my plant-based meats inside-out, but some of the stuff here is just in a different league. My son strong-armed me into sharing the big mixed grill platter with him - extraordinary stuff. My favourites were the black pudding and the juicy marbled steak, whereas he loved the ribs and the chicken. We devoured the whole plate (with uninvited help from the rest of the family). My daughter was thrilled with her ultimate burger, and my better half loved her Hunter’s Chicken. Had to try desserts - my bread and butter pudding was amazing, but the Biscoff cheesecake has got to take the plaudits as dessert of the night. Just delicious. Good food is one thing, but it’d be nothing without great service and environs. The Queen Inn has those in spades too - the young man serving us was friendly and helpful - a credit to the Inn. We had a wonderful evening and can’t wait to return and explore the menu further. Thanks so much to the Queen Inn for being brave enough to offer something different, and for doing it so well.

This pub is amazing. It's retained its status as a pub where the locals go to drink while also being a place that vegans travel to from far and wide. We were staying an hour's drive away on a holiday in Wales, but knowing the reputation the Queen Inn has, we booked a table and the drive was WELL worth the reward. The food is excellent and the portions are generous - good sizes which left us full but not over-stuffed. The ch*cken in particular was scarily realistic. We highly recommend the cauliflower wings, the ch*cken and r*bs, and the apple crumble with custard.

Very disappointed. Came here a few years back when they were vegan for just veganuary - absolutely loved it. I have been dreaming about returning for some time. However this time we felt incredibly let down. One of the meals we ordered was the fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce. This plate only has 4 components, a fairly simple dish. The meal was brought out with no tartare sauce. When the waitress brought out another meal we asked for the tartare sauce. She told us "the kitchen has been too busy to make it". I'm sorry, but that is a terrible excuse. Imagine bringing out Mac and cheese, without the cheese sauce because the "kitchen was too busy". Or a loaded fries without the topping. Not only was this a poor excuse, the attitude from the waitress was far from appropriate. If the kitchen was too busy, tell us before we order a meal. We would have happily picked another option. Or when you bring the plate out with something clearly missing, be honest and open. Don't wait for the customer to have to ask. We did ask if the kitchen had some time to make some sauce then that would be great, because in all fairness the fish and chips was bland and clearly needed that component. She eventually returned when we had a mouthful of dinner left with what could only be described as mayo, a chopped pickle with a sprinkle of parsley. No seasoning. Basically, it was just mayo. We have been vegan for 5 years and was looking forward to going out for a proper vegan pub meal. I for one won't be returning. We had been planning on having a dessert, because it's not often that you have the choice to, however, after that incredibly poor service I didn't want to waste any more money or time in this environment. Maybe make the menu smaller and concentrate on smashing those items, as it didn't seem overly busy. We did speak to a lady at the bar prior to leaving who offered us a dessert. However, at this point we were too disgusted with the service that we couldn't bring ourselves to stay. On a positive note, the lamb kabab loaded fries was delicious.

We found this place through a friend. We happened to be passing nearby and stopped in for dinner. The welcome was great, the staff were fantastic, very friendly, very welcoming and happy to advise on what we were thinking of ordering. We ordered drinks from a great selection of both alcoholic and non alcoholic choices. When it came to ordering food, we couldn't decide on what to try so tried several of the small plates, staff were happy to help us out as we hadn't dined here before. I myself am not vegan and I was very happy with the food. We tried the Mac and cheese with Chilli beef, BBQ ribs and Korean cauli wings, all of which was excellent. The setting was lovely in beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately it was raining so we sat inside but the outside area looks very inviting and would have made for a lovely summers evening. Inside was quiet but still a lovely atmosphere made more welcoming by the staff. Overall, we were very happy with our evening and would definitely go back again.

Where can I start...such a welcoming vibe. We had our dog with us and asked us how our dog was around others dogs (when you have a reactive rescue this was just so lovely) they seated us further away, gave us a blanket for him to lay on and they had sausages and ice cream from him! On to the food - O M G. We had the mixed platter which was just delicious and was a great portion size. The chickn thighs were the standout for me. We took our dessert to take away and the Jaffa fudge cake was just amazing. Great service, dog friendly and some of the best vegan food I've had.

...because then it will get too popular and I'll never be able to get a table ever again! Went with friends and absolutely loved the flavours and variety on the mixed grill platter. The ch*cken and r*bs were the stand-out favourites when it came to authenticity but the Juicy Marbles and Redefine steaks were also excellent in terms of flavour and texture. Fully recommend the Jaffa cake dessert (VERY orangey). Our party had one vegan and two vegetarians but I'm pretty sure even the omnivores enjoyed their food. So keen to come back and try lots more things on the entirely vegan menu. The pub itself is also lovely, with stream, waterfall and ducks opposite, an outside space, TVs showing the Olympics and plenty of space to sit. Friendly staff, good local brews from Tiny Rebel and Mumbles Brewery on tap, as well as classic lagers such as Stella and Birra Moretti. Very minor downside which didn't take away from the experience at all, but I like to give balanced feedback: service was a little slow when it came to taking orders, and paying the bill. We weren't in any rush, so it wasn't an issue. Loved the food and the pub. Can't wait to come back.

Summer menu absolutely superb! We booked well in advance to make sure we could get a table on the second day of the release of the Summer Menu, we had for starters the Breaded Gherkins with vegan thousand island dressing a taste sensation, we also had the bbq spare R*bs and the crispy chilli b**f so so tasty the crisp b**f is a bit of a handful as a starter but is so worth it, we had the herb mushroom homemade gnocchi which was so creamy and tasty and some lovely garlic bread to mop up the creamy sauce, then the new sweet and sour battered ch*cken so tasty with stir fried veg and udon noodles a taste sensation which will be had to beat, we decided on desserts which we had the new sweet waffles with chocolate sauce and ice cream which finished of the meal superbly, took home the Jaffa cake cake for laters, staff so helpful and now all the answers to any questions you may have. It was very busy for a 12 o’clock slot but was served within great times, nice and relaxed! Would recommend even if you’re not vegan to give this place a try! Bought some peanut chocolates and made out trip home! Looking forward to next visit it August for our Anniversary

We had the pleasure of having dinner at the Queen Inn in Cwmbran and what a lovely evening we had! The food is absolutely impeccable - as a veggie it is such a rich feeling to be able to eat everything off the menu. We shared the Mixed Grill which came with very tasty sauces and we could not stop commenting on how delicious everything was! The wonderful experience does not end with the food though, as the staff is amazingly friendly! And if we thought we were being treated well, we have to mention the service they provided for our dog. He was being spoilt rotten by the owner and had such a great time! We will be purchasing all the treats he had as he loved them so much. The sausages we took for take-away were very much appreciated the next morning. We can only say: this is a must-visit! Much love from the Netherlands and we hope to be back sometime!

We ate at The Queen Inn twice during our stay in the area. The food is incredible! Generous portion sizes and good value. The staff are friendly and very accommodating - on one of our visits we had our dog with us. We let the staff know in advance that he is nervous of people and other dogs and they made sure we were sat in a quieter area which relieved any stress we had of taking him with us. He enjoyed the doggy sausages!

Our second visit here in our Motorhome on the way off on a tour of wales. Once again a lovely meal, a overcooked piece of my meal was swiftly remedied and not a usual thing to happen and they were very apologetic. The new spring menu added some nice choices but how i missed the crispy beef the first time as it’s one of the best vegan food I’ve had out😁 the ‘ salmon’ my omni husband said was delicious and i had a lasagne for lunch the next day before leaving on our trip. We we also had a lovely macaroni cheese as a starter with the crispy beef and were quite full before our mains.

We'd been meaning to visit the Queen Inn for a while, and decided it would be a nice treat for our first wedding anniversary. We booked for dinner on the Saturday night, and returned for Sunday lunch the next day. Both meals were outstanding, it was great being able to enjoy old favourites like stilton sauce and yorkshire pudding, but veganised! What made the meal so memorable was the staff's attentiveness, they were all so lovely and went above and beyond to make our meal special. We can't wait to go back!

We had the Queen inn Burger, The Fish and chips, The Lamb Kebab, Chicken and Ribs combo and the Massive Sharing platter. Again the food is always cooked superbly and the staff love what they do you can see this everytime we go there! Desserts and coffees to finish!

Me and a friend finally paid a visit at the end of February after saying we need to for years, and I’m so glad we did! I’d never tried meat-alternatives before as I’m not a veggie myself, but the chilli b*eef stir fry was absolutely fantastic and easily the best stir fry I’ve eaten. The waitress even said it was her favourite thing on the menu too. The pub itself was cosy and clean, lots of parking, and we’ll definitely be back in the summer to utilise the outdoor space - it’s huge! It’s also been a while since I’ve experienced service as good as I experienced here, our waitress was friendly, honest, funny, knowledgable, and just genuinely seemed to love her job. Having worked for plenty of awful pub owners in my time, I think this must be a testament to how well this place is run behind the scenes. (I didn’t catch our server’s name but she said she usually works behind the bar, and bakes cakes for her day job - so I just wanted to say thank you!) We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic Vegan pub, with wonderful staff and such a welcoming atmosphere! I took my large dog with me and he was provided with a blanket to sit on the chairs, and then able to sit to the table with us. He had a bowl of sausages and a drink of water whilst we had a delicious Vegan Sunday roast, after a lovely starter. Locals are really friendly - totally unpretentious and like a regular old fashioned pub, but with lovely vegan food on offer. Bloody brilliant. Will come again - for sure.

Am overjoyed to have found this gem. The Queen Inn surpassed every hope that I had for a vegan restaurant. Visited at lunchtime with my husband and our very large Irish Wolfhound. We were welcomed so warmly by staff and patrons alike. I had forewarned them that our dog was large and they had thankfully put us at a table with lots of room for the dog to lie down. We ordered the mixed grill share platter and sausages for the dog.... I almost feel that I can't do the venue justice with my review. It was AMAZING! The whole meal was exceptionally outstanding. I have been vegetarian for over 30 years and I can honestly say that this restaurant left me feeling elated, giggly, amazed and of course very full. The fake meats were chewy, sinuey and gloriously tasty. The black pudding... OMG was so good. My husband is a meat eater and was amazed. We are already looking at our calendar to rebook when we are in town next.

Imagine a friendly, cosy Welsh pub, staffed by happy, engaged, attentive staff and serving the tastiest, most excellent typical pub-fare alongside a thoughtful & wide-ranging drinks choice. This is The Queen. As a 40 year in veggie, I've never experienced this concept and I'm so impressed. If you're not a veggie - don't worry, you won't even notice the meat is missing. The Queen is now my go-to when I'm here visiting family. Best. Place. Ever!

We were up from Cornwall for a weekend in Wales and on the way home we had a birthday lunch to have, and what better choice than searching out the Queen Inn. It had to be done, what with all the great reviews. The staff were so friendly, as were the locals, and the only difficulty was trying to choose what to have out of the vast vegan menu. Phil celebrated with a Scally Wag ale, recommended by the barman (which he loved), whilst we chose. Phil went for the Chilli Beef stir fry with a side of spring rolls and I went for the Hunters Chicken (a chicken piece wrapped in bacon and cheese with bbq sauce). How decadent! We can see how this place requires booking to guarantee a table during the weekends. When we are back in the area, we will definitely visit again (and maybe starve ourselves for a couple of days beforehand so we can fit in pudding too).

We have been going back to the Queen Inn since restrictions were lifted for Sunday lunches.Firstly the Queen Inn feels really safe to visit, when you arrive you wait at the door to be taken to your table, hand sanitser etc are available at the door as you enter, there are one way systems in place, the place is spotless, tables cleaned and sanitised between sittings. There are screens in place between tables and on the bars. The staff are great, they all wear masks and provide a fantastic table service for drinks and food.The food is great, cooked perfectly, the only difference with sunday lunches is where the vegetables were brought in serving dishes before the pandemic, food is now plated up before it is served, I personally prefer this way of serving the lunches.In this world of madness it's nice to go to a place that makes you feel safe to enjoy your food and have a relaxing drinkThanks to Gareth, Jane and all the staff for doing a wonderful job

Another family birthday celebration last night at the queen. Always comfy, friendly with good quality, value for money food.Great service from staff mainly due to the hard work of Gareth and Jane who, after many years, are always there.A proper local pub for all ages

Went to The Queen Inn on Tuesday evening, for our Anniversary. 1st time in ages. The food was amazing, compared to other restaurants in Cwmbran, We would rate The Queens as one of the best. The service was good, food was amazing, and the beer was good. Looking forward to our next visit..... Would highly recommend!!!!!

A group of 5 of us went for dinner. The King Prawn starter was amazing. However if you do not like curry the choice for gluten free is poor. The same for the desserts - ice cream was the only option. The waitress was pleasant and knowledgeable about gluten. Shame about the choices.

I recently stayed in the area and decided to visit the queen inn for some food with my family. Staff were lovely and looked after us well. And food was amazing. When next visiting cwmbran, the queen inn will be on my return list!

My family and I nipped into Cwmbran for a leisurely lunch following a concert in Cardiff on the previous night. We didn't fancy looking in Cardiff and decided to pull off the motorway en route to see if we could find a half decent pub meal, and stumbled across this place at random. "Looks alright" we thought, and went in. I went in to order drinks and pick up some menus and was instantly charmed by the straightforward, non-pretentious traditional pub atmosphere of the place; just a normal pub, with some locals enjoying an early afternoon pint. I was struck by how cheap a round was (between us we were ordering both alcoholic and soft drinks); "this cost less than a tenner!" I boasted to my table as I plonked the drinks and menus down.

Wife had doctors appointment, then I had to go to Currys, but new computer not ready. About 5:30pm now and neither of us felt like cooking, so thought let’s eat. Tried Dorallt first, but do not do food on Mondays or Tuesdays, so thought the Queen as it is on way home. The Queen has a fair sized car park, and a lovely stream running alongside, which has been made to look something. Although surrounded by houses, you feel almost in a secluded spot. Inside it has that almost country inn appearance. The food and service was excellent, but be prepared for large portions!

Friendly bar and service staff, joined in our Banta with us at the table. Four starters and four mains, all very good. Definitely recommend the garlic mushrooms as a starter or the king prawns. All steaks were delicious along with the duck pancakes. Very good evening will definitely be returning.

The best pub in the whole of Cwmbran, all with a great selection of guest beers, so many types of Gin, to many to count. Food is out of this world and the staff are super friendly. Highly recommended, for all types of occasions. Get there and find out for yourself you wont regret it.

Went here last week as part of a large party of about 20 for an evening meal. As we were sat outside the land lady came out to us to take our order which was a nice touch and saved us all going to the bar to order our food. Food arrived promptly, we al ate together and everyone was very happy with their meal, to achieve this with such a large party was a fab achievement and all involved provided an exceptional service x thank you for making a good night great. Can't recommend enough, if you visit you won't be disappointed. When planning our next large gathering I won't hesitate to book the queens again.

Not from the area but was recommended The Queen Inn for dinner. SO glad this was recommended to me as it was fabulous. Quaint and cosy pub with a roaring fire! Staff were very friendly, couldn't fault the service. Beautiful home cooked food that was fresh. Such large portions!!!!! Go hungry! Will be back if I am ever this way again!

If you want delicious home made food at a reasonable price you cant go wrong here. Eaten here a few times and never had a bad meal. Staff always go out of their way to accomodate you but it is advisable to book as tables are limited. Good size portions too.

We had a table right by the bar which was busy with punters ringing the bell to be served, would have preferred the back restaurant bit. The starter had a hair in it so was swiftly returned for an alternative. The main roast was a good size but could have been hotter and the desert was nice. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The company made the night for us.

Writing this after calling in for lunch. We've eaten here a few times now and the food has been consistently delicious, fairly priced and well presented. Today was simple ham, eggs and chips but hmmmm it was so good . Tasted like home cooked wiltshire ham, eggs o viouslt free range with glorious orange yolks and triple cooked chips. No frozen chips here.

I had dinner with a pal here and what a meal. We both had a three courser. The food was stunning from start to finish. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. The dessert, a custard slice; was to die for. The staff really looked after us and were on the ball. All in all it's one of the best meals I've had for ages. Please keep it up.

Firstly we arrived and the pub is beautiful from the outside. A nice little park outside for the children, an outside eating area to keep an eye on the kids and plenty of parking. I went with my sister and my two young children. Inside is a nice cosy little pub with three sections. (Bar area, dining room for food and another area which I think was both bar and food.) Inside the dining area was a stand of beautiful looking deserts. The lady serving us our drinks at the bar was very friendly and took the time to speak to my son. Drinks were reasonably priced AND paper cups with lids and straws for the kids drink rather than the usual glass which I thought was brilliant! And well needed with my boy. The menu had a very good variety of food. We ordered our food, I had the homemade chicken curry, my sister had the beef madras and my son had nuggets, chips and beans. We decided to eat outside so my son could play in the park, which he enjoyed doing. We didn't have to wait long for our food at all. The size of the meal was very good! The taste of my meal was amazing!! I'm going back today with my partner this time! The curry had a lovely kick of spice to it. The rice was nice and fluffy, cooked perfectly and came with a little salad which was a nice surprise. I didn't leave a morsal on my plate, it was delicious! Would recommend to anyone and everyone. For 2 adult meals, one child's meal and drinks cost us around £30. I am happy to pay that for that food all day long! Today I might try one of their beautiful looking deserts!

Got to say, the owners and staff of the Queens, are always polite and courteous to all of their customers. The food on offer is always to a very high standard. A superb atmosphere, with a regular quiz night, and lots to chat about, and plenty of variety of drinks, real ales and ciders aplenty. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Nice, almost countryside location, with a stream running through the gardens. Large smoking area available, undercover, pets and children welcomed. Kiddies play area, too.

We are currently sat in the beer garden with our half empty plates of Sunday lunch because every bit of the meat and vegetables were inedible. If you are hoping for processed fatty meet, frozen vegetables that have been either nuked in a microwave or frozen peas in the middle. Throw in a rude waitress, who serves veg with no spoon to serve to plates, gets stroppy at requests for more gravy,and a general lack of customer service, and you have the typical mass produced and over priced rubbish of the area. If you want some real home made lunch on a Sunday or one of the nicest steaks around then head to The Little Crown in Pontypool or The Upper Cocks in Croesyceiliog. The food and service in the Queens is a joke. On the positive side, the play area outside is lovely for children. Just don't sample the roast.
