The Sloop Inn in Monmouthshire

We have just been to this little place and it fitted us perfectly. Firstly, lovely people there. Got us a high chair sorted for little man the We had dinner there and it was great. It’s proper pub food. Scampi and chips, chicken curry (homemade) etc… There is a pool table and darts about if you like that sort of thing. We were visiting the village at near by Airbnb so didn’t stay so can’t comment on that but as a little pub, I’d be happy if it was in my village. I would go back for sure but to set expectations, it’s a village pub so if you expect Michelin stars it won’t be the place for you.

Great place. Food is normal pub grub cooked to a good standard. Rooms are clean!

We visited the village last weekend and the staff were so helpful and polite to me, my daughter and wife. The chips were also absolutely fantastic and tasted sort of Belgian, they were so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Service was amazing and the advice around the local area was brilliant too. Seemed like genuinely nice people and it's a beautiful place to visit. Wonderful.

Dined and stayed one night. Small room with rather uncomfortable bed and view of roofs. Breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty. Supper was ok- rather basic and simple. Pool, darts and garden. Good location in village and probably only place serving food.

Has a homely feel to the place. The owners have put a lot of care into making their own sloop and sailboat theme; many types of boat actually because there is a connection with service in the Royal Navy. Lovely lamb shank I had too, my mate enjoyed his pie and Guinness. The room was clean and comfortable.

Well a surprising drop in as wasn't planning this pub. But pleasantly surprised. Very down to earth and honest place with hard working staff and a good local feel. The food was just fine, not gourmet, but honest and hearty. definitely well cooked with care as service was fantastic ! Good location and ample parking, fair beer selection, but was driving so didn't get a beer. Many thanks, I'd stop again if passing.

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime. Relatively quiet despite being one of the best days of the year so far. Had a meal and a couple of drinks. Service was friendly and efficient, the food good quality and good sized portions. Would highly recommend.

Great village pub with good food. It has the usual darts and pool table. Live music sometimes and rooms for the night if not booked up which can certainly be the case during salmon fishing season. Beer garden with breath taking views and good clean toilets. If you wanna spend the day/week in one of the most beautiful places in the country I highly recommend the sloop and surrounding area.

Shut at 9pm rudely told us they were closing and stared at us till we left on a Saturday night you would think they would like the business

Sunday lunch after not getting in at Ti tern pubs due to them being fulll up. A pleasant surprise- friendly prompt greeting and a fabulous roast dinner ! Don’t overlook this place I n favour of the more glam places!

Don't know what the rooms are like but judging from the friendly welcome we got I would imagine they are great too.

Very disappointed. Received a £100 parking fine for stopping in this pub’s car park to check whether the restaurant was open. Will definitely not be going anywhere near this pub in future… Shamefully opportunistic way of making money.

Nice friendly pub with large car park. Called in here for lunch as driving past. Friendly staff who told us to register the car number at the bar as not to get a fine in the car park. Ordered lunch a vegan curry and the trio of sausages which were both very nice. Quite a lot of choice on the menu and specials including a rabbit option. Staff and customers all very nice Would most certainly return.

My wife an I ate here a couple of times and visited most days when we stopped over Easter weekend with our two dogs. We had Sunday lunch which was superb with a good selection of veg and a generous helping of meat. There is a good selection of beers and wines. Friendly owners and chatty regulars, all told a very pleasant experience

Very friendly welcome. Traditional village pub with pool table slightly apart from plenty of comfortable seating in bar area. All spotlessly clean. We wanted a quick light lunch so opted for large and tasty sandwiches on lovely fresh bread, could have had more substantial meals including rabbit- nice to see traditional country food on a menu. Will use again.

Our holidays are based around our dog so as long as he's alound in we're happy. The sloop Inn is a traditional pub with darts and pool going on in the bar the service was great, the food was lovely proper pub grub I had the bbq ribs and there was loads of meat on them followed by the sticky toffee pudding and custard totally recommend this place

We visited The Sloop on our way back to Chepstow from Monmouth. Great situation on the main road and good parking.Staff were friendly and welcoming even though we'd arrived around 5ish wanting hot food!! Food was excellent and plentiful but no local beer on offer

Great food on a quiet Sunday evening. Large portions and great service. Casual dining along the river Wye. Close to Llandogo B&B

Stayed for one night , room was tired but clean shower didn’t work properly, which wasn’t nice when you have been walking all day . The food was good and the owners were nice though

Lovely pint of Thatchers gold cider to go with my wife 's full bodied and tasty Shiraz red wine. We parked our motorhome across the roa in the pub's car park after the genuinely helpful Landlord had moved somone's vehicle to make space.

Traditional pub grub in a traditional boozer. Usual menu with a couple of specials. Friendly service.

SO MUCH MORE could be done to improve this place on so many levels. It's in a fantastic location with a lovely garden, but you get the distinct impression the owners have lost interest, if indeed they ever had any. A pity.

This in not a gastro pub. It is a classic feel pub with classic pub food. Staff were very helpful, food was fair and price was good.

Lovely pub situated on the main road. It has a bar as well as a restaurant. We had fish and chips with a drink for £7 pp. Really friendly staff and customers too. You were made to feel welcome.

We stopped by this traditional roadside inn on a sunny day in early June. We live abroad so seek out a decent fish & chips when we visit. We were not disappointed. Sizeable piece of code in the tastiest, lightest, crispy batter I've ever had. Washed down with well-kept Cornish ales on tap. Highly recommended.

I visited the Sloop late evening last Friday . It was busy with a great crowd of locals some were playing darts and others chatting. A very friendly Landlord and excellent Ale.

It's wonderful when you call at a place to eat purely by chance and find everything "spot-on." This is what I found at the Sloop. Location, in the wonderful Wye Valley, the service and friendliness of those who work there, the ambience; lovely interior and comfortable seating and most of all, the food, superb!

On our way to Chepstow for a child’s birthday party we decided to stop for lunch. We agreed that we would stop at the next pub we came to.. I’m glad we did. When I went in to check it they were serving food (2pm’ish) I was greeted with a fabulous smell of fresh roast lunch. I was pleased when the very friendly staff confirmed they were. My wife. New born baby and 6 year old in tow we decided to give it ago. I ordered the roast beef and was not disappointed. Hot.. with Loads of choice in veg and fresh lovely cooked beef. The presentation of the meal was also fantastic my wife tried the curry pie with chips and cleaned plate - must have been good. Very reasonably priced as well. Thank you for a lovely meal. We will be back.

We stopped off here on the off chance of Sunday lunch. We have never been here before and it is a typical homely, village pub with plenty of parking. The service and lunch was first class and with good quality presentation and service. There was a good selection of vegetables and the garlic mushroom starter was lovely. Will definitely be back for seconds! A lovely little find.

One of the best Sunday Dinner finds in the area!! 5***** Tender cuts of meat, lovely selection of veg, perfect roast potatoes, nutty boiled potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding with tasty gravy topped with roasted parsnip shavings!!! All served next to a roaring fire on a drizzly day!! Great value...will be back

Friendly staff, drinks good,food OK, but choice of veg with pies when asked was just peas and the gravy was soo salty we were thirsty all night!

My mum and i had a lovely meal in here and went onto play with the ladies darts team. Very welcoming and lots of great food options.

Called in today for a drink and light snack the drinks were nice and the food was excellent superb whitebait and fresh bread

Nos alojamos en este pueblo por un par de noches y esta siendo muy cerca de nuestro alojamiento y el único pub cerca pensamos probarlo. Era un viernes temprano en la noche y había algunos lugareños. Nos recibieron muy calurosamente y nos dieron una mesa cerca de un fuego de leña (sólo lo requerido en una noche tan frío y nevoso). El menú de la comida era variada y tentadora y una buena opción para vegetarianos. Yo opté por casero que fue chili deliciosamente cálida y una buena parte de tamaño medio. Llegó caliente y era justo lo que necesitaba. Mi marido fuimos para ternera a la Bourguignon, que era también muy sabrosa. Los pudines eran encantadores y una buena relación calidad-precio. Porciones bastante grande así que ten cuidado si te apetece un postre delicado o la luz. El pub tenía un ambiente muy tradicional con una diana en una zona y una mesa de billar en otra. Es bastante amplio y aunque lleno de gente, nos sentimos como en casa.

Después de caminar durante un par de horas de nuestro alojamiento que queríamos una comida/bebidas en el pub local. Nos sentamos a la mesa, miramos el menú, mi compañero borracho de su botella de agua y carga de dueño diciendo que no beber agua de la botella porque él vende bebidas aquí. Nos dijeron que estaba bien, y luego salimos.

Mi padre vive en el pueblo, así que a menudo utiliza la Sloop. La cerveza está siempre bien cuidada y excelente comida. Hemos tenido dos veces esta semana y ambos fueron excelentes. Realmente recomiendo el Sloop!

This is a lovely pub in a beautiful location in the wye valley right next to the river It has...

La gente es muy amable y fantástico comidas, especialmente teniendo en cuenta que soy un grasos maravillosamente preparada y muy bien preparado

Just visited Tintern Abbey and was looking for a lunch with the family. Just about everything was full to overflowing at Tintern ( and this is February ) so we decided to venture elsewhere. We saw the Sloop Inn and thought we would give it a try. Glad we did because it was very friendly and the food came quickly. It was typical pub grub , but very nice and the kids were happy. Its in a nice location too, overlooking the river Wye .

The menu had all the pub classics including five vegetarian options. (I'm not a vegetarian - I choose freely from the whole menu, but so often this is dull category on the menu). We came here for a couple of nights while walking the hills and valleys nearby so clearly we were happy with the food and environment to return the second evening. We ate in the dinning room both times so I can't speak much about the main bar (or the accommodation available above either). We worked our way through a steak and fish, curry, vegetarian lasagne, ribs and chicken and we were very happy with everything! Wouldn't hesitate to return here next time we're in the valley and I'd recommend it to all travellers. The locals probably already know!Enjoyed talking to the bar staff who were all friendly and helpful. Really nice atmosphere for a relaxing meal.The bus stop (number 69) is right outside if you want a walk and bus back etc. Quick note that the car-park is on the opposite side of the road, so don't miss it!

I reviewed this pub back in 2012 and declared that I was local and eat here on a regular basis (about once a week). The same is still true today. Never had a dodgy meal in all that time. OK, some weeks are better than others admittedly,(is anywhere perfect?) but overall, it is still a cut above the rest in the area as this offers real pub grub and is completely unpretentious. The owner has just taken on a new chef and he is proving to be a real force in the kitchen. I often have his Dragon pie. A take on steak and ale pie but with extra, extra whoooomph. This chef has improved it. No fat or nasty chewy hard bits (always was like that anyway) and loads of lovely rich gravy enhanced by chillies? I don't know how he has done it, but if you try it, take some tissues ;-}. Our friends had a chicken dish and declared it to be the best one in the area (and that takes some doing)Unfortunately, I am soon to move to another area a long way away. I hope I can find a pub that does just as well. The search will continue.This pub by the way, has rooms as well. Obviously I haven't stayed there myself, but friends have and I have only heard good comments about the bedrooms. Welcome to the Wye Vally AONB.

Enjoyed our meal...good quality food, good amount of choices on menu. Restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Some options were a little expensive. Staff were friendly, not rushed.

On the recommendation of a local resident, we had dinner at The Sloop Inn, and it was both reasonably priced and tasty.The waitress seated us promptly and was very courteous, answering our questions about menu items and making recommendations from the wine list. Dinner was great! We were not hurried, and the food was delicious. We arrived before sunset, and with the mist rising from the river behind the Inn, the ambiance was great. We'd choose The Sloop Inn again in a heartbeat when in the Wye Valley of Wales!

On a mini-road trip in Wales we stopped here for lunch after visiting Tintern Abbey. There is a large carpark across the street, and very little else on the main street through the village so we were soon wandering into the Sloop Inn in search of Sunday lunch.We got a warm welcome from staff and customers alike, including one very friendly canine companion who I would happily have taken home with me. They had a menu with 1,2 or 3 course Sunday lunch options, however a few dishes had already sold out so I didn’t opt for that. I’m sure prices were £8.25 for one course and in the region of £10 for 2. I had a lovely chicken, bacon and sweetcorn pie from their specials board (most meals around £9-10) which hit the spot!Thanks to some late summer sun we were able to enjoy our meal in their beer garden which was very pleasant. All in all we were happy with our discovery, enjoyed the food and liked the service. Good place to stop off to re-fuel!

We ate here twice as it was within walking distance fro Ty Bryn B&B so we didn't have to drive and we had a nice short walk after dinner. We ate in the restaurant one evening and ate in the pub one evening where I really enjoyed the ale pie on the specials board. Had a pint of Strongbow too.

Whilst taking a short break in the Wye Vally area, traveling down the A466 to Tintern Abbey on a sunny September day, my husband and I both had an urge for a Ploughman's Lunch. As luck would have it, we stopped at the first pub we saw, The Sloop Inn, in Llandogo and they did indeed have a choice of Ploughman's on the menu.My first thought was, that at nearly £9 each, they were very pricy but I have to say they were worth it. As well as a generous helping of salad with full-flavoured cherry tomatoes, there was delicious fresh beetroot, slices of apple, more fresh rolls than we could eat, more cheese than I could eat (I had the mixed cheese, which was stilton, cheddar and brie), a little dish of chutney and my husband's ham was proper home-cooked ham, not that rubbish out of a packet. And not a crisp in sight. All washed down with a bottle of Orchards Wye Valley Cider. It was a proper, traditional Ploughman's, full of flavour and goodness, and I could eat another one right now! (Can't really comment on atmosphere etc - it was a quiet mid-week day and we were the only people sat in the beer garden).

The Sloop suffers in comparison with other pubs in the Wye Valley. It's decorated fairly basically with little of the individuality that makes one remember pub and want to go back.That said, Sunday lunch was decent enough, I couldn't find fault with the beer and the service was sharp.

We dropped in for lunch midweek. The food was fine and the place very quiet. The food was reasonable value for money.

The Sloop is perfectly placed for the first day lunch on the Wye Valley Walk (from Chepstow). What it lacks in ambience is more than matched by the very good pub grub with high marks for the chips, value, staff and real ales which include Kingstone beers brewed in Tintern. The owners son in law is an artist and some of his watercolours may be on show.

This is the only Inn and restaurant in the picturesque village of Llandogo but it's a good place to stop for some honest pub fare. The service is very friendly and welcoming and our waitress went out of her way to make us feel at home and valued. There are nice views from the restaurant area though the decor would probably benefit from a little lifting up as it's somewhat dark and the heavy leather chair, comfortable as they are, add to the somewhat gloomy atmosphere. There is a specials menu in the bar area and a normal a la carte one too. The choice varies from pies, fish and chip, steaks etc. It's all well cooked and tasty, it won't win Michelin stars, but it doesn't pretend to, it fills you up and make you feel warm inside, especially if you accompany it with some good wine! So a good place to stop (there is ample parking if you are driving) and you can even take yourself for a stroll after your meal as the river's footpath runs just behind the Inn.

Beautiful location lovely views. Very accommodating & friendly people especially gentleman owner & staff. Fantastic breakfast and decent pub grub. Decor dated needs an upgrade. Lots to do in nearby area Puzzle wood, Clearwell caves, Tinton Abbey, Dean forest railway & Chepstow castle. Took my bike and got some great rides! Don't come home with out Welsh cakes!!!

Not the most atmospheric pub I have ever been to but nice location in the quiet village of Llandogo with a nice little beer garden if it is warm enough.Sunday lunch menu pretty much your usual choice of several starters and mains, we only had two courses but the roast turkey was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Would go back if we were passing again, would like to see what their regular menu is like.

Nice old pub. Rather dated decor but very friendly atmosphere. Somewhat limited menu but the food was well cooked and plentiful. The chips are excellent - best in years! Reasonably priced.

The menu was large, the service was excellent and the food was tasty and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a good 'pub meal' then this is ideal.

We have stopped here twice in the last 3 weeks for Sunday lunch having done local walks.The food was excellent and well presented . Nothing too much trouble and the service was great and friendly. Will definitely call in again when we pass through . Brilliant thanks.

This pub is on the main road and is clearly very popular with locals. The front bar is very much a 'town pub' bar with pool table, fruit machine and TV.If that doesn't suit you, try the dining room at the rear. The food and beer were excellent and good value for money.Staff very friendly and helpful.

This great dog friendly inn serves really good food and plenty of it at very reasonable prices. We found The Sloop after visiting Tintern Abbey and were really taken by the friendly staff and the very friendly regulars. The river Wye flows along the rear of the Inn and the surroundings are beautiful. We are hoping to visit this venue again but next time we will be staying over for a few nights.

Not the widest selection of food available, but what we ordered was home cooked and very tasty. We visited on a sunny day whilst staying at a near by B&B, and the beer garden was great to sit out in.

A little bit better than standard pub fare at reasonable prices. Great view of the river, nice beer garden. Good place to stop before, during or after a hike in the area.

Many pubs try to be something that they are not. This one does what it says on the tin, so to speak. Situated in the village of Llandogo, halfway between Chepstow and Monmouth, the pub is by the side of the A466. The welcome is reserved but the beer is as it should be. The menu is not extensive, but there is a daily specials board, all of which seems reasonably priced. The volumes are generous, many with fresh vegetables and the plates are hot. The general quality of the food is very good. One can either eat in the bar or the 'restaurant' at the back of the pub. One thing that stands out, is the cleanliness. How many places can you go to where you find the sauce bottles, salt and pepper pots completely free of any grease or previous users prints! Likewise the tables and furnishings I put the word restaurant in commas, as the food is the same as in the bar. This room is tastefully decorated and lit and quite relaxing to eat in, even when busy, with pleasant views down the Wye Valley. I live locally and use the pub for eating on a regular basis. I am surprised that noone has yet written a review, to date. I have eaten my way through the menu and can honestly give it the thumbs up. many of the B & B's in the village send their customers there for lunch or evening meals and from what I can gather, the pub is well received.
