The Raglan Arms in Monmouthshire

This was not what we were expecting having read the reviews. Very limited menu with average at best food. Service was willing but appeared to be in training and the bar staff didn't know what a Wine Spritzer was. Has the ownership changed recently?

We’ve had the pleasure of dining in the Raglan Arms on a few occasions and have to say their Sunday Roast is the best we’ve had anyway,,and believe me we ‘ve had a few over the years.. The presentation of the vegetables is eye catching to say the least and the roast beef is a melt in your mouth experience…The food along with the friendly and attentive staff combine to make it a 5 star dining experience.. We will be back again and again..Not to be missed.

We ate here twice in one month, not having visited it for ages and were very pleased. The chef is very accommodating especially when we were not happy with the one vegetarian option on the menu that evening, he offered several off menu alternatives. It is very good value for money and the wine list, though not that extensive, is remarkable value indeed. We will certainly visit again.

Vivisited here whilst on holiday Had father's day Sunday roast We had the 3 courses all were fantastic And staff were great One of the best dining experiences we have had for a long time.

We recently visited after some time and it was as stunning as always. The staff lovely and friendly and the Chef came and saw us too. The food was stunning and as a gluten free vegetarian the Chef went above and beyond. Would highly recommend. 5* and more!

A lovely place, with amazing food and exceptional service. Super friendly staff who made a real difference to our evening. Will certainly return again one day!

The Raglan Arms certainly lived up to all the positive reviews I had read. There was a good and varied choice of food, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The staff were efficient and helpful and the dining area was spacious and relaxing. I would highly recommend.

We met up here with cousins as a 1/2 way point and since our booking - for Sunday Lunch - we had been very much looking forward to eating here as we had heard excellent reports. Our cousins brought their young spaniel bitch, and that was no problem at all. Luckily she was on her best behaviour. Everything was just impeccable, from the booking of our table until we left to go home. We were given a very warm welcome from everyone on arrival and shown to our round table in a corner. I love round tables. Both the sirloin of beef and the blade of beef were absolutely divine, with enough perfectly cooked vegetables. Extra gravy was on hand should we have needed it. Good portions of meat. Just perfect. To drink we chose Chenin Blanc on arrival and Merlot with our food. The puddings were absolutely delicious, especially my Creme Brûlée with lavender shortbread! The staff is both professional and delightful, and afterwards the chef came over for a chat, nice touch that, and it was nice to be able to let him know how happy we all were. It's a beautiful old building, inside and out, with a good sized car park in the gorgeous little village of Llandenny. Can't wait to come again.

Back in the game. After a few years of being absent we went back to our local. Marvellous front of house staff and a well known local chef in the kitchen. These things are personal but it's our sort of food at reasonable prices. So glad to see The Raglan Arms on on its feet again!

We had 2 great meals here, both evening and lunch as a stop during a beautiful walk across the country footpaths. Really lovely service ..couldn’t do enough for us and the food all freshly cooked and tasty with interesting selection..can recommend stuffed peppers and chicken pie. Good beer. We called ahead to let them know we were arriving as large group and had a relaxed time. Hope to be back next time we are in the area..

A fantastic lunch from start to finish. Faultless. A very inviting and individual menu. So many restaurants seem to offer exactly the same choices these days.

We dined at the restaurant as it was rated one of the ‘Pick of the Pubs’ in our AA ‘The Pub Guide’ and as always seems to be the case deservedly so, it was quiet as it was a Wednesday evening but there were still enough diners to create a nice atmosphere, the food and service was excellent, very good and varied menu and good value given the quality, my wife and I couldn’t fault a single part of our meals they even had a dessert that combined Crème Brûlée and Stollen two of my wife’s favourites which was a real bonus. We will definitely return to this restaurant when we’re in the area again.

This place seems to get better and better. Hadn’t been for a while and was so pleasantly surprised. Very good value- very fairly priced wine list. Portions huge which was only draw back as i don’t like leaving food! Everything we had was lovely but fish pie must have a special mention

Came for a mid-week birthday lunch having not been for quite a while due to lockdown etc. Only a few people in mid week so not a lot of atmosphere. Food and service Ok but had expected it to be really special from coming previously so felt a bit let down

We had an absolutely lovely meal here! After finishing a walk at Sugar Loaf we came for a Sunday lunch. This place is very dog friendly and we enjoyed a Sunday roast dinner. Often we find a roast is better cooked at home, however this one exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend and will be back. The service was also wonderful and we couldn’t have had a lovelier meal!

This place is worth finding. Set in Llandenny, a lovely village near Raglan, it is an atmospheric and welcoming old building with a pretty conservatory and garden with it's own parking. The excellent service was very friendly and the food was top class and all home made, even the sausages. The chef is German and I can't wait to go back and try the schnitzel and home made ice creams. I highly recommend the pork belly and the sachertorte. Can't wait to return.

First visit for my partner & myself & absolutely worth it. The waitresses were lovely & friendly. The food delicious & will definitely visit again. The menu has great variety & a talented chef that produces high quality meals.

Visited this weekend to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday. Stunning menu which made choosing what to have very hard! Wonderful service and really very good food, beautifully presented and so delicious. Would highly recommend. Thank you for having us and being the perfect start to...

Very enjoyable meal. Pub has a lovely interior and the service was very good. Small but interesting menu of well cooked dishes, a far cry from the usual pub gub offerings

So lucky to have this restaurant in our locality. Fantastic meal and lovely service last night (the ravioli was particularly outstanding). Thank you to Judith and her team.

A hidden gem!! We went there on a Saturday lunch time. It was not busy although I think it was because they have just reopened since the lockdown. We have ordered a 3 course lunch and it was absolutely amazing! The food is to die...

The Raglan Arms served up a very good lunch in a COVID secure setting. Good food, smiles and a log fire all conspired to deliver a relaxing experience. Sad to say the place was very quiet because of the current pandemic. If you’re in the...

Really excellent food, beautifully presented. It definitely lives up to its reputation. Very well setup for Covid, with lots of space between tables. Staff were friendly and professional. The chef came by to say hi too, which was fun and lovely.

So pleased we booked a table..great friendly helpful and caring staff. Excellent food, well cooked and presented, local bitter enjoyed. Menu choice and prices great. Will be back. Really worth eating and drinking here when in the area-recommend

Food was very average, but quite expensive, distinct shortage of gravy. Service okay, beer and cider selection pretty good.

Had Sunday lunch here with me wife, three friends and two we'll behaved dogs. All of our main courses were superb. Puddings were super good too. Definitely will be back again. Thank you.

Ended up here for Saturday lunch, unplanned and unexpected. Car park around the back. Lovely, quaint looking pub. Staff very friendly and helpful, without being overbearing. From the moment we arrived, the service was great. We had 2 children with us, we were all very...

We had eaten here before for Sunday lunch on a trip and the food was fab then. Evening meal did not disappoint! Walking distance from where we stayed , we couldn't believe how quiet it was! Food and service was excellent and although not the...

Lovely country pub serving beautiful food. Very warm welcome. Nice area to sit in comfy chairs before and after your meal and a roaring fire an added bonus

We visited this Pub as a family of 12 for Sunday Lunch. It really is a lovely Pub. From the time we arrived to the time we left we were well looked after. The service was great and we were never left waiting for long....

What a find and what a difference to some of the places in the area. First off, not pretension... Just a warm welcome, very good food and reasonable prices.I went here about 6 years ago when I lived in Raglan and didn't like it but things have changed. Well done and keep up the good work. We need places like this in the area.Only one tiny comment and that is that the heating could be up just a tad... Just me I suspect but thought I would mention it by way of constructive criticism.

We enjoyed yet another excellent lunch at The Raglan Arms. The food is really good and of excellent quality. It has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are attentive and welcoming.

Nice spot for Pre- lunch drink then onto lunch . Although a restricted Christmas menu it was excellent. Food delicious all nine of us enjoyed it Service excellent and we were well looked after, We gave our orders before arriving at the restaurant by email.Will look forward to our return in the Spring/summer.

A visit on a quiet night. Car parking is down a small lane to the left (facing The Raglan)

On our arrival around opening, my guests and myself were greeted civilly enough, offered drinks and given menus to discuss. On one of those glorious early autumn afternoons we chatted, made our choices and enjoyed the beer garden. Most of us chose the 'blade of beef' as mains, with various starters, and it was outstandingly good albeit very small portions on a bed of parsnip mash. The chef came out at our request and talked us through the receipe..... cooking a shoulder of beef, difficult to find, believe me. Mainly good experience, but the single beer offering is the worst I've tasted, gross, and the proprietor pursued me around the premises to recover a free newspaper which I had said I would pass on to some friends who were looking to purchase a house in that area. Weird!

It is not often that you come away from a meal thinking that was the best meal we have had for a long time. We called in on the off chance and were lucky to find a table. We did not have starters to save room for puddings and we are so glad we did the rice pudding was so creamy. Please visit amazing find. We will be back.

Good food especially the beef, but several items were not available/sold out. This included potted prawns, roast lamb and Bakewell tart. They also mixed up the drinks order. Ice when we asked for none etc.

We were in the area, so we popped in.. A very attractive restaurant and bar. Very courteous and friendly staff. We had the mushrooms on toast with poached eggs. Very good. My husband had the calves liver and mash for mains. I had the lamb with a tiny shepherd s pie. All excellent. Stuffed so no pudding.

Saturday 24th August 2019 - Dinner for a family of 4. We've been here a few times and have always had excellent meals. Unfortunately on this visit 2 mains of ribeye steak, which were ordered "rare", turned out to be "medium" cooked. Maybe we shouldn't complain, but when you are paying £25 it should be right. Maybe we should have sent them back, but then my wife's main (fish) was also overcooked, and we really didn't want the "scene" of returning 3 main dishes on what was supposed to be a special family night out. My son's duck was delicious. Starters and puds good. Service excellent by friendly helpful staff. Yes we will try it again as this is the only time it's dipped for us.

Very nice lunch. Wife touched that they had freshly made GF pasta. We had mentioned that she was gluten free when booking and they had made it on the off chance that she might choose a pasta dish.

We visited on a quiet evening and were able to appreciate the beautiful surroundings of the village as well as the excellent food, warm welcome and very pleasant dining room. The food was excellent and the service swift. A really good experience - the pub deserves to be better known than it is!

We had lunch with relatives who live nearby who had eaten here before. We weren’t disappointed. I chose the egg yolk ravioli with lobster filling as a main course, followed by the trio of chocolate puddings. All beautifully presented and totally delicious. Other members of our group had beef stroganoff, the carbonara pasta and the puttanesca pasta as well as the belly pork and they all enjoyed. Puddings chosen were Bakewell tart and rice pud - lovely. Efficient service from a pleasant waitress. We look forward to a return visit.

Just had the most wonderful meal at the Raglan Arms. The airy, contemporary setting is still sympathetic to the building and there is a relaxed ambience. Bar/waiting staff welcoming and efficient. The food was exceptional. The three different courses that my partner and I had were superb. Not Wetherspoons prices but, thankfully, not Wetherspoons food! If you want something a bit special but not 'up itself' posh it's a real treat.

Staying local this restaurant was recommended so booked a table. On arrival we were greeted with a smile and drinks order taken. We selected the lamb and boy was that a great favourable meal. We finished with a selection of desserts to share and then we were full. We will be back.

WOW!!! What more can I say? The most beautiful Sunday lunch I have ever tasted, the beef was actually amazing, the chef must be so proud of the food he cooks!! Staff are very welcoming too, owner works really hard to make sure every body is happy:) YOU MUST TRY!

Two couples, we had whitebait and scotch egg starters, excellent. Main courses included bass, hake and lamb all spot on! We did like the Welsh jokes on the wall. Thoroughly enjoyable and will recommend.

Had the most wonderful vegetarian dinner here this evening - papadelle with wild mushrooms followed by cauliflower steak washed down with a cheeky Cabernet Sauvignon! Wonderful food, great service, lovely ambiance and above all, the most accommodating reservation and welcome!!

Just had lunch at the Raglan Arms and all I can say is wow, what a lovely place. The food was amazing, the welcome was friendly and we will definitely be going back.

Great Sunday lunch menu, with pork, lamb, two different cuts of beef and gnocchi. I had the rib of beef , cooked pink. It came with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, gravy and a great selection of vegetables. The beef was tender and tasty, as was the Yorkshire pudding and the gravy was delicious. My husband had the lamb shank, which came with same accompaniments. It was tender and delicious, both excellent, as were the starters and desserts. We shared a half bottle of very good Fleurie. Why only 4 stars......well the team were very, very short staffed, the waitress said there was usually 4 of them, but there was only her. It did impact on service, I asked for extra gravy, which I didn't get and there was a bit of a wait between courses. Don't let this put you off, I'm sure it was a Bank Holiday weekend blip. Excellent value and we'll be back.

Two of us visited for lunch in early May - on the way through. What a find though. The lunch menu is short but carries a good choice, the service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere calm (and quiet at the time). One of us had the prawn and crayfish risotto, the other the cod steak, then we shared the medley of dessert. They were all plated perfectly, served hot/cold as appropriate and tasted superb. What a gem of an English pub!

After a lovely drive up the Wye Valley and beautiful countryside we met friends for Sunday Lunch at the Raglan Arms and it was excellent.

The Raglan Arms, with a Michelin recommendation and a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence, plus others, is outside the town of Raglan, where Raglan Castle is located (also worth the visit if you're in Cardiff or Wales). Some of the menu offerings were lamb, pork belly, a cauliflower steak, a hamburger (or it looked like one). I had the Roasted Artichoke steak with a chimichurri sauce accompanied by thrice cooked potato chips. Yummilicious!!!! I've never had better chips. Two of us had them and as we offered a taste to friends they agreed that the outer crispiness with the soft inside was super. We had wine with dinner, and dessert. All delicious. I went with a group of 11, and we all fabulous food and a great time. Not a single complaint. The server, an older lady, was our only server, and she did it courteously and efficiently. The restaurant itself is in an old stone building but inside it's very modern, light, and clean. Although it may be a little out of the way, I strongly recommend it if you're in the vicinity.

The Raglan Arms is in a beautiful location, easily accessible from South Wales and Bristol. Peter and the team have really got this pub on the foody map now with great food and good service. We visited on a hot Easter Sunday, probably one of the busiest days of the year , the food and the service was fantastic, relaxed but enthusiastic. Great local produce really well cooked and presented. Monmouthshire really is the food capital of wales, Peter and the team at the Raglan Arms are right up there with the best in the area

A bit off the beaten track but well worth visiting if you're in the Usk/Abergavenny area. Very attractive restaurant, great service and an excellent meal.

Ate here whilst on a short break in the local area. Was quiet due to being out of season and midweek. However it still had a lovely atmosphere.

Aura, clinical but funical and warm, service pleasant, meal quality good (Sunday roast) and surprise /surprise "a decent pint of beer"

Set in the beautiful village of Llandenny, the Raglan Arms offers a fabulous Sunday lunch, wonderful food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommended for families.

Efficient, responsive service at a group lunch. Hot, tasty meal with generous portions, attractively served. Range of vegetables. Higher standard than pub Sunday lunches I've experienced in the past. Would return.

Just called in for lunch, no booking but made to feel very welcome. Service and food excellent, l had pork faggot's which were wonderful, fish dishes are highly recommended. It was quiet but imagine it gets very busy so would advise booking a table so as to avoid disappointment.

Village location and pleasant relaxed surroundings make it a nice place to head for with the family. Lovely fish and chips on village night. Light crispy batter and homemade tartar sauce, really enjoyed the food and friendly helpful staff.

Eight friends booked a meal at The Raglan Arms. We just had one course each. One of our party is vegan, but this wasn’t a problem. Polite service but quite a wait for our food- over 30 minutes. We were enjoying conversation so this didn’t matter. The food was good but I would have liked more vegetables to be served with the meal. I ordered a side of seasonal veg, which was a good portion. Quite expensive, a 10% service charge for parties of 8 or more.

We were 17 ladies who had been on a lovely hen weekend in a neighbouring property. This was our farewell Sunday lunch. Among the party were three coeliacs and a vegan with a very severe nut allergy. My coeliac friends are used to having to ‘go without’ at meals. Not here. Every dish was made with gluten free alternatives and the care given to our nut-allergic friend was the best I’ve ever seen and resulted in her having a very relaxed meal out. The service was first class and last, but not least, the food was absolutely amazing. I had borscht, ( dud they know about my beetroot obsession?) 8 hour beef daube ( melted in the mouth) and creme brûlée ( perfect and with delightful fruit art) but I’d have been happy if they’d brought me any of the food my friends had. The photo is of ‘A Taste of Salmon’ which my friend has as a starter. This is a gem of a place. I hope to return soon. Diolch.

I have just eaten the best Dover Sole in my life...

Absolutely gourgeous stew and best dumplings ever. Such a lovely evening and highly recommend. Amazing value @ £12.95 including a drink - perfect for midweek supper. Can't wait to try a la carte one evening and don't forget a loaf of the amazing bread!

Six of us lunched here on 12 Dec. Menu choice was extensive. We had Pork Belly, Fish Pie, Rack of Lamb and Beef Brisket. All concluded that it was pretty good, well presented and in nice surroundings. Puddings were very good too. Downside was restaurant was cold despite an open fire which was hardly alight. Drinks expensive.

Fantastic lunch, the main course was so good we all had to have dessert, and we weren't disappointed. All food was freshly prepared, beautifully presented and great value. We'll be back!

Excellent sunday lunch experience. Welcomed by friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Roast Beef was exceptional followed by brilliant plum and oat crumble with home made cinnamon ice cream. Lovely strong coffee. Couldn't be faulted and great service from Catrin. Easily to see why it is so busy. Highly recommended.

A last minute decision to go in for a quick pint.......... REALLY PLEASED WE DID !!! Fanastic beer served just right ! Very good background music ! ! staff VERY nice and helpful ! Nothing too much but best of all bought some of their homemade bread for our lunch........ A DELIGHT ! I'm going back for lunch this time ........... SOON...

We live overseas but try to visit this wonderful country Inn whenever we return to home town Abergavenny. For reasons unknown we hadn’t been to Raglan Arms for a year or more and the new menu and chef today came as a complete and pleasant surprise. It was always outstanding but now it is just amazing and in our opinion is easily the best “pub food” within 30 mins of Abergavenny!

Had Sunday lunch here 28th October. The selection of meats was good, and the roast beef, cooked beautifully rare, was as tender and tasty as I've had in a long time. Vegetables were freshly cooked and excellent roast potatoes. My dessert, Mont Blanc, was also good but my friend's taster plate of 6 desserts was outstanding. Service was friendly, and it's a nice atmosphere, with a darker pub one end and a light conservatory the other. Great value for money at £16 for one course,m£20 for two and £24 for 3.

A relaxed evening spent eating some fantastic dishes in lovely surroundings. The pub and restaurant is a gorgeous building in the village of Llandenny. We started the evening with a relaxed drink that included the local real ale. The menu had recently changed and my family and I were keen to sample the new "Autumn fare"!

Second vist this year. The first was very good but last night was exceptional. The staff did everything right, we met the Chef when we first arrived, enjoyed a pre-dinner drink and then the meal; all 3 courses were beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. And I have to mention the care and consideration given to a very hard of hearing member of our group for which very many thanks. Very well done Raglan Arms we’ll be back.

Myself and my partner visited on a busy Sunday. We were looking for a Sunday lunch and had already been turned away from another pub down the road so we were delighted when this pub said they could squeeze us in but to expect a wait as we hadn’t booked and it was very busy which was fine. We ordered two roast dinners- one lamb and one beef, they came very quickly which we were impressed by. Honestly it was they best roast dinner I’ve ever had, it was so tasty. We also ordered sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was delicious. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone. Perfect spot for a Sunday lunch!

I have visited the Raglan Arms twice in recent times and on each occasion the food was delicious. On the first occasion my dining companion had the laverbread starter and I had the delicious prawn, lobster tail and roasted garlic risotto as a starter. We both thoroughly enjoyed the two dishes. The serving portions were just right for a midweek lunch. We finished with desserts. I had a trio of the homemade ice cream, which I actually repeated on the second visit. It is simply delicious with many flavours to choose from. My companion had the intriguing dessert "Whatever Comes", with little sample desserts being served on a wooden board. What an ingenious idea. Hats off to the chef who bakes the bread and churns his own butter and makes the homemade ice cream. The second visit was Sunday lunch, with both myself and my companion ordering the trio of seafood and new potatoes. I was genuinely surprised that this was served with lovely vegetables which were included in the cost of the meal. This is rare with restaurants these days offering sides of vegetables or salads as an additional cost. We were there on a very busy Sunday but the staff were attentive and friendly. I can highly recommend the Raglan Arms.

Delicious food and great service. The laverbread starter was especially nice. Everything beautifully prepared and presented. Very welcoming too. We're lucky to have this on our doorstep.

The problem with being a chef and having worked for some fantastic chefs is that it’s very rare to eat somewhere and not be disappointed. There was nothing underwhelming here, fantastic service and a lunch that absolutely hit the spot. I had a very nice prawn and crayfish risotto followed by plum pancake with homemade ice cream. Everything was spot on.

My wife and I visited on our way to the Brecon Beacons, having found this gem on the Internet, The Raglan Arms are off the beaten track but well worth the detour. The welcome was friendly and the menu most interesting. It had a few of the stock items for bar food but was mostly more interesting items across a range of tastes. The food arrived at our table well presented and my wife described it simply as "fine dining at sensible prices". Well worth a visit.

We went this Sunday for Sunday lunch after being recommended by word of mouth.

We tried smoked salmon and both pork and fish as a main course, both have been very good. Sticky toffee pudding was excellent. The day we have been there they ran out of lamb (which supposed to be local specialty) and also out of draft ale, while the bottled one was of a room temperature only. Except for this, everything was very good

Starters were absolutely gorgeous, best homemade mushroom soup I’ve ever tasted and was made even better by the homemade bread. Both mains (fillet of beef and blade of beef) were faultless. Me and my husband love eating out and are very particular over where we eat. We also never leave reviews but we worry that if we don’t this time......you may miss out on eating here.

My husband and I booked to have a meal here for somewhere different to try. We were not dissapointed! Starters we had olives, with oil and homebaked bread and butter. We had for the mains, pork duo, pork belly, blackpudding faggots, and braised red cabbage which was amazing. Also the seabass with capers. Its been a long time since i have eaten food that tasted that good it was all cooked to perfection. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back again.

For my mum's 91st birthday, we were a party of 12 in the conservatory. Good atmosphere, views impressive ,food excellent .

Visited with friends last Saturday. Food was outstanding and was matched by the service we received. The atmosphere was just right.

We sat outside as the weather was amazing (outdoor area is lovely in the summer). We had the sharing fish platter and roast ham salad to start which were both delicious. We then had one fish and chips and 3 of the daily specials- burger, faggots and South African curry. All of which were fantastic, well done to the chef!

SUPBERB! Amazing food, service and hospitality. Very friendly waiter greeted us on arrival. Owner came and asked us if everything ok. Even the head chef popped out of kitchen and asked if everything ok. Amazing slow cook roast beef. For me the best Sunday lunch, having visited similar establishments around the Monmouthshire area

We brought my nan here for a belated lunch on Saturday. We had the bread and olive oil to start between us and the bread was gorgeous. For main I had a Caesar salad which was really nice. My partner had the burger and chips and said it was amazing and my nan had the fish cakes. I tried half a fish cake and it was really good. They both had a dessert too but they weren’t as good as hoped after the mains. Pleasant staff.

We visited for Sunday lunch - the restaurant was very nicely decorated, food was delicious and generous portions, staff were friendly and it was very good value. Well recommended.

We’ve eaten everywhere in SE Wales, but this has to be amongst the best!

Hadnt been to the Raglan Arms for years and wasn't even sure it was still open, so popped along with my partner on a Thursday night and was pleased to see it open. Very impressed with the layout and decor inside and warm welcome from management and staff and excellent service during our stay. But it was the food that was what was truly impressive. The starter of cream of cauliflower soup was as tasty as iv ever had and my girlfriends goat cheese tart was also delicious. We both had steak for main with peppercorn sauce and chips which was cooked to perfection and very tender. Really great experience and looking forward to returning soon!

Over the weekend, I visited The Raglan Arms with family and I will definitely be going back.

Tonight we enjoyed a fantastic meal which was well worth the time to write a review.

Fantastic tea at the Raglan Arm. Pots of tea with wonderful sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and profiteroles with chocolate sauce, strawberry boats. All delicious and loads of it! Well presented and served in the garden but laid indoors should it have been wet.

A pre ordered afternoon tea for 12 as a celebration.

Our party of 12 had a really enjoyable afternoon tea in the pub garden. Copious quantities of freshly made sandwiches, scones, squidgy brownies and wonderfully indulgent home made eclairs with chocolate sauce. Our only suggestion - a bigger tea pot next time please!

My group and I were extremely impressed with the afternoon tea served at this lovely establishment. Beautiful location with a wonderful outdoor terrace. Service was excellent with a very friendly landlady The chef provided us with an amazing selection of cakes, scones and sandwiches - all handmade and delishous. Highly recommended.

A party of us had afternoon tea on the terrace and one can only say it was superb. Not only was the weather great but the food could not have been beaten for both quality and quantity. Well done !! M

We arrived on a wet Thursday evening having booked to find the Raglan rather quiet. It’s a pub, but a restaurant really. Not really a place to pop in for a pint, which is perhaps a problem. But we soon livened it up, helped by the good, well kept local ale and genuinely jaw droppingly good food. My tender lamb was best I’d had in years, my friend’s beef was as good as his legendary ‘best ever meal’ in France 20 years ago. The kids loved their fish and chips and duck with gorgeous sweet and sour red cabbage (we ordered two more portions as sides!). Incredible home made chocolate sorbet and ice cream. We had to meet the chef, he is a star. This place should be busier, we urge you to check out the Raglan.

My boyfriend and I along with our Jack Russell were visiting the area from Oxford. We dined here on the Saturday evening of the bank holiday weekend. All of the staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. The quality of the food was absolutely fabulous, the raspberry and white chocoate mousse was sublime.

Having lived in Usk for 4 years and recently moved to Raglan we wanted to try a new restaurant. Having read the reviews on trip advisor we visited the Raglan Arms Thursday 19th April. We received the best of welcomes and sat outside enjoying a sunny evening whilst we perused the menu. We ordered starters of prawn and melon salad with salt and pepper squid. What a delight, quality and presentation was amazing. We were then seated inside in a delightful dinning area for our main course of loin of cod and confit of guinea fowl. These dishes surpassed our expectations and certainly tickled our taste buds. For dessert we chose the champagne rhubarb jelly, oh my gosh what a joy. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant with food of such exceptional quality on a par with Michelin starred localities. In fact my husband and I rate the quality of the food much higher than local famous sites which shall remain nameless. Please visit if you are in the area to experience a thoroughly dining delight. Gold star for the chef and Judith who made us so very welcome. We felt very spoiled with the attention to detail on every level. 5 star service and food for 3 star cost.

We hadn't been to The Raglan Arms for many years and hearing good reports decided to try. Very welcoming when I booked a table in the morning after looking at what was on offer on the excellent website. We received a friendly welcome from the landlady who made us comfortable in the snug whilst we looked at the menus. There was no draught ale available ( I was told it was because it was winter !!! ) however there were bottles of beer available. We were very disappointed with the choice on the menu. Starters were good but to only have fillet or ribeye steak as meat main courses was very poor. The website spoke of a special's board and that the chef was famous for his pies. none were available, we were told this was because of the recent snow and staff shortages. The food we had was excellent and the chef was very helpful with my wife's choice of main course. Desserts were good especially the raspberry posset. Though the meal was not cheap I felt it was reasonably good value though I felt there was no need to charge for the extra bread that we asked for. The service provided by the landlady was very attentive. We would visit again but would make sure there was more choice before visiting again.
