The Royal Arms in Herefordshire, County of

How lucky were we to have this lovely pub close to our holiday cottage. On each visit we experienced a warm welcoming atmosphere. The bar meals look good…we can confirm that they do a cracking Sunday lunch. Thank you to Claire & the team for making us feel welcome.

Lovely people running the place. We decided to walk over and check out the food which was delicious. We had the sea bass one evening, a burger, and I had pork, which was lovely. The chef kindly cooked us something from the main menu as we arrived early and wasn't aware there was a quiz on and different food, which was greatly appreciated. The place is a traditional pub with ales, wines, ciders and gins. We tried the Abergavenny Wine which they were advertising which was also nice. Got chatting with lots of local people, the area is friendly. Pub is dog friendly also Lovely visit and hope to pop back again some time

On our recent holiday at Rock Point CL we eat at this great pub three times! First was a takeaway Sunday lunch which was simply brilliant and then an evening meal plus another takeaway! All our dishes were perfectly cooked and we received a wonderfully warm welcome each time. Excellent pint as well. We can't wait to return!

Another fantastic Sunday lunch today. All freshly cooked, plenty of food and loads of delicious gravy. Our friends are super impressed with our local pub. Thanks x

Amazing new menu 🤩 We've waited patiently for a few weeks to try the new menu. Pork chops are my new favourite choice. But the posh fish and chips and sweet and sour chicken were also another level. Our little boy thoroughly enjoyed having the meatballs. The only complaint is there simply wasn't enough dauphinoise potatoes! Highly recommend the Royal Arms for an amazing meal, in a local pub environment

A great pub. Our visit was for a group of golfers looking for good food and cask ale. Though the pub is out of Monmouth it is worth travelling too. Food was just what we wanted and good value too. Staff looked after us a d served with a smile a d good banter.

A lovely pub with good beer and amazing food. Very family oriented. We will defiantly be making a trip back over the summer. Many thanks

Friendly atmosphere, and staff. Food excellent good choice. Large selection of drinks available. Wine we had was superb. Will be back again by

This review is written in April 2021 just as England was coming out of it's third lock down.My wife and I were staying in Llangrove for a week. We visited on the Sunday lunchtime and had the roast lunch. Portions were plentiful,service was friendly and we stayed for a couple of drinks as well. At the time of our visit, covid regulations meant we had to sit outside to eat and drink, we were lucky with the weather and this was not a problem. We returned again on the Tuesday and Thursday evenings for a few drinks but although there was a short food menu, we did not eat. Sitting outside once again was fine but once the sun goesover the pub, it was a bit chilly, but this was the middle of April.All in all we were glad we used the Royal, and would recommend it to anyone staying in the village.

We are staying in the village over the winter and tried this pub on our first night. We were not disappointed. The food is good quality, plentiful and good value. We had the tasty faggots in red wine gravy and the sea bass. Both were excellent. With starters and a couple of drinks, the bill was u dear £40. Cracking value! The pub felt very safe with all the Covid precautions being taken. We look forward to sampling some more of the menu over the coming months.

We are staying in the village for a few days and we’ve spent a lovely couple of evenings in the pub. Very welcoming, great beer (Wye Valley Bitter and Butty Bach) + guest ale and cider on tap. First night - tasty curry, second night delicious steak and beautifully cooked Sea Bass.If I mention the owners Pete and Clare by name, it’s going to look as though I’ve known them for years and this isn’t a legit review. The truth is they are so friendly that we chatted for over an hour last night when everyone else had gone home.Choose this pub for the food and the beer, and you’ll return for the friendliness.Just exactly the sort of local that every village should have!

Clare and the staff were so attentive and friendly. Very good food indeed. If nearby we would definitely visit again !

As we emerge from lockdown, we we went to Llangrove on a long weekend break, and spent a couple of evenings in this lovely little Inn. The proprietors were brilliant, very friendly and accommodating on food bookings. The draught ales were great, must try Butty Bach, a great local ale that will make you want more. My fiance and I had a delicious meal. The food was well prepared, tasty and comprised fresh ingredients in our evening pub meal, in a friendly environment. Can recommend if you are passing by or holidaying nearby.

We received a colourful & well designed note outlining VE day commemorations, and took the opportunity to order 2 of the Picnic boxes mentioned. What a treat! The boxes were made up to order, one contained a savoury selection of 3 different sandwiches, mini quiche, pork pie & savoury sticks, the second box contained a sweet selection of scone + jam & fresh cream, mini cup cake, meringues with fruit & cream, amoretti biscuits, and fresh strawberries. What made this even better was the care taken over the presentation - see the photo. Full marks Claire, Pete & anyone else involved, and thank you. Lock down didn't seem so bad!

After experiencing a medical situation which resulted in a hospital visit, the landlady very kindly got a Sunday roast delivered to me this afternoon. I can not recommend the food from the pub during the lockdown highly enough. They offer a takeaway service as well as an off license all at very reasonable prices. The meat and vegetables were outstanding, the Cauliflower cheese was sensational and the portions are very generous (enough for 2 dinners for me!) The owners, Claire and Peter, are so caring and welcoming and can't do enough for you. Whether you live near or far, a visit to the Royal Arms Llangrove is an absolute must!

Thank you Claire for our excellent food this evening - you are so accommodating. The friendly and efficient service you offer is fantastic and the food is top quality and great value. The salmon with the pesto and pistachio crust and the salmon with hollandaise sauce were to die for especially with the chunky chips! The chicken madras pie and the Mediterranean vegetable tart also had a 5 star thumbs up. We'll be back for more!

Just had Sunday lunch and the star of the show was the Cauliflower cheese OMG what a sensation. Great hospitality and beers too ! And very reasonably priced 😀

We went to this village pub for an evening meal twice while staying nearby and each time we had a very enjoyable experience. It's well presented with an unpretentious and friendly atmosphere (the staff and the locals). The fire was lit to counter the autumn chill, and our small dog was made welcome with attention and treats. There's a good pub food menu, and Wye Valley Brewery beer (the bitter was just right). We even finished off with a box of eggs for breakfast! Recommended.

Well done Claire and team for producing a fantastic 'tastes like homemade' roast for us all on Sunday! And in the heat and such a small kitchen! You need to book and make choices of what meat/vegetarian meal you require in advance, but it is worth it. A small village pub with good atmosphere, keep up the good work!

It’s our anniversary holiday so we thought we would not cook and go the local pub! We were not disappointed the food was really nice and very filling. The staff and locals were really friendly.

We visited here after a day out with the family for dinner. The atmosphere is warm, cosy and homely and the owners are very welcoming. The service was excellent. We ordered lamb shanks, which was off the hook, and the boys had burgers (they were HUGE!!). The kids menu was very good too and the twins enjoyed it. We will be visiting again when we are in the area. I would highly recommend visiting this pub!!

We enjoyed a variety of different things. Caribbean chicken was very nice and the fish and chips was good. The boys loved there pizza and chicken korma.Lovely kids boards games to play while waiting for the food. A really good idea.Food was good. A nice local pub, great with families.

We were staying locally and this was the nearest pub. Not the widest selection of meals to choose from - really stand pub grub. Food was good enough. Nothing special to be honest but it was good enough. Staff friendly. There was one customer who was very loud whilst we were there who’s every 2nd word was f*ing. I am no prude but it was really to much. We left shortly afterwards because it was not for polite company. Perhaps the manager should have a quiet word because it certainly made us leave as soon as we could.

We are regulars and recommend The Royal Arms to our guests. A great place, which welcomes dogs, good beer and a varied menu

I came here with a friend and my 10 month old twin boys on the 10th November, on a Saturday lunchtime. After reading the reviews here I was shocked to find that we were the only patrons, except for one regular in the bar. I’ve recently moved to the area and was looking for a nice friendly pub that was out of town a bit but not too far.

Great afternoon in the Royal Arms ! Rugby, Nice warm fire and a few beers with old friends. Very nice - thank you to The Arms - will be back soon.

Have been here a couple of times and thought it definitely needed a glowing review. The food is all homemade and really delicious, nothing is too much trouble and they will happily customise a meal to your tastes or dietary requirements. Good range of largers, ale and cider, some local. Very reasonably priced and the pub had a lovely atmosphere, they welcomed us and our dog with open arms. Thanks for having us, we will be back soon!!!

Still the best kept beer around. Fine food from a constantly varying menu. Always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, both sides of the bar.

Visited the pub on a Friday night and had a great evening - fab food and the atmosphere was outstanding - the locals were very welcoming and warm - keep it up and we will be back soon

Went to The Royal Arms on Sunday 16th Sept for lunch. Immediately felt comfortable when the barman/waiter showed us to our table. Roast dinner only on Sundays with reasonable choice available at very reasonable price. Generous portions of meat and veg well cooked.

Visited here with my wife as we were staying at a holiday cottage in the village. We were both a little disappointed with the food (the chicken tikka that i ordered was really bland) and also the glasses we were served our drinks in were chipped. Seems popular with the locals as a place to drink though and im sure in the winter it has a lovely cosy atmosphere.

While staying locally we visited The Royal Arms a couple of times over the weekend. The first was after a 90min walk through the Herefordshire countryside from our accommodation. The staff were very welcoming and we enjoyed a good couple of hours out of the hot sun. Our second visit was for Sunday Lunch (a party of 25) just before the England match. We were well looked after, and the food was very enjoyable (we had let them know in advance of everyone’s choices). We would happily visit again if in the area.

I wandered up to the pub from my nearby B&B; in search of an evening meal. The hosts were welcoming and prepared me a delicious veggie dish even though they had an event going on later in the evening and were getting rather busy.

We went to the Royal Arms for an evening meal. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They were happy to fulfil our requirements. The food was good and large portions. Would recommend

Eaten here twice before and found the food excellent, atmosphere friendly and dogs made very welcome. We must just have hit a bad night on Friday. The pub was quite busy and we had to wait an overly long time for food (there had been an accident with one of the staff in the kitchen). They must have got in a muddle with our order as I'm sure that some customers who ordered after us were served before us. In spite of this we would probably still go back next time we are in the area, and would recommend it as a good eating place if you have dogs.

A thankful sight after a long walk. A lovely refreshing cider. Our dog had become lame during the walk and the landlady offered to give us a lift back to where we were staying. Thank you again. Food looked great. We will be back.

We had a lovely warm welcome after a longish walk in scorching heat. Great cider and beer were complemented by the ever so helpful and lovely hosts who rescued the exhausted dogs from 4 mile hike back up the hill. A proper diamond of a pub.

Nice people on both sides of the bar and the food was very good. I was on my own and was made to feel welcome and not like the weird solo lady with the dog!

We were so impressed with our easter Sunday roast in this small pub. The food was really high quality and generous portions. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food arrived very quickly. Experience was so much better than you normally get in larger pubs. Thank you Royal Arms!

The staff and the clientele were very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent and some of the dishes were simple but inspired. The pub also welcomes dogs, so if you are out hiking of driving ( there is a large carpark) in the area i would recommend popping in, you will be welcomed

Lovely welcoming pub with a nice 'local' pub atmosphere and great home cooked food! Fire was roaring and dogs are more than welcome!

Called here while staying in the area, very friendly and nice food! Was surprised by the new houses which surrounded the pub they looked totally out of character.. seems like another lovely village being spoilt by inappropriate housing which put me off...shame

Called on Saturday evening for 20 people, they were a bit surprised but welcomed our booking. They went out of their way to welcome us for Sunday lunch, the place is relaxed and the food was just want you want for the family Sunday roast. Highly recommended.

We were in the area on holiday and visited the pub on the recommendation of our host. We found the pub instantly friendly and welcoming, allowing our dog to sit quietly under our table. The Wye Valley bitter was an excellent pint and we had good pub fare for dinner.

Great pint of the local brew and the cheese burger and chips was exceptional - gastro pub food !! Plenty of locals and also visitors to the area - enjoyed my 2 hours in the arms immensely - try the cheese burger !!!!!!

For individuals, families or dogs this has always been the most welcoming of public houses. Try the free cheeses on Mondays.

It may seen a strange review, but having a family funereal in the parish church, we sought out a suitable location for the wake.Having dined here before, it was logical to enquire if the pub could help. We spoke to Claire who was so helpful and accommodating as they had hosted 5 previous wakes.The arrangements went ahead for a buffet spread.We were delighted with the food which was replenished as it was eaten.Cannot praise the staff enough for helping to make a difficult day a little easier. Thank you

Whilst staying at Thatch Cottage we visited this little local pub. The food was OK, they allow pets so it was worth a visit but not the best atmosphere.

Warm, popular country pub in lovely village setting. Under new ownership and look set to change. Has great potential and look forward to seeing that potential being realised.

Invited for Sunday lunch by friends for our first visit and was pleasantly surprised by this quaint country pub.Five of us opted for the roast and were served with well cooked meat and very generous selection of vegetables. Varied selection of puds to follow.All served by welcoming friendly staff. Well worth visit as we and all the other diners would surely agree.

Pub is wheelchair friendly but the loos have steps, the food was delicious with lots of choice and the staff were helpful.

We had dinner and sunday lunch as this very welcoming pub as we were staying nearby for a long weekend, the staff were superb, nothing was too much trouble and the food was fabulous.

We call here about once a year when we are passing through, mainly because we know our large hound is welcomed.

We walked from holiday let and had lunch enjoyed it so much we returned and had a lovely reasonably priced evening meal in cosy surroundings.

visited this pub for sunday lunch with a friend who is allergic to all dairy products, we booked in advance and on arrival they confirmed dairy free booking, we all had a traditional sunday roast with special dairy free yorkshire puds for our friend, the whole meal was lovely, as good as its gets when away from home. An added bonus was a selection of dairy free sweets, thank you.

Visited this pub twice while staying in the area, we were welcomed by lovely staff, good choice of beer and wine and proper pub menu. Well worth a visit. Thank you

Walked to this pub from the local campsite. Really friendly team and locals. Log fire, great food, really chilled. Great place.
