The Star Inn in Monmouthshire

Lovely food. Warm welcome. Amazing staff. Evening meal 12th October.

Always Great Service and Atmosphere

Even though food was not being served the lady behind the bar made me a sandwich which was lovely

Very dog friendly. Excellent service and food

Beautiful home made food friendly staff my favourite sunday dinner was amazing large portions 100 per cent recommended

Small cosy pub, just off the main road, nice meals and friendly staff. Can get crowded of an evening, but, then, it wouldn't get crowded if it wasn't popular. Just don't tell anyone. 😉

Only had a roll but was real nice and lager quenched my thirst was very warm and sunny day and was out eating and doing in pub garden

1st time going and won't be the last. Had a beautiful lamb Sunday roast, which came with a load of veg, honey roast parsnips and a spoonful or 2 of cauliflower cheese and a decent sized yorkshire pud. The wife had a beef dinner. If I could give 4.5 stars I would. The roasties, though cooked nice enough, came out in a dish to share (same as the veg and cauliflower cheese)with 7 potatoes to split between 2. I could have lived with 3 each, would've loved to have 4 each. But to split 1!! Apart from that, it was worth the £13.95 a dinner. Will be visiting more often too.

Lovely pub,situated near the Bridge between Abergavenny and Llanfoist, good selection of Real Ales,can't comment on food never eaten there,Service excellent and staff very informative , pretty Beer garden near the River Usk Bank,K

I've been visiting The Star Inn for the last few months as we love the location and atmosphere of the pub. It's very much a county pub feel rather than part of a chain. Service can be a little slow in terms of being served and tables being cleared, however this doesn't put us off coming time and time again.

Great place for Sunday lunch or a drink in the garden

Friendly staff. Good choice of ales. Food was quick and to a good standard.

Very busy yet they still managed to fit 8 of us in for dinner. Service and staff were spot on .very friendly ,food was first class.

Lovely place friendly and the food was very beautiful piping hot

Absolutely faultless food, service, prices. Such a pleasure.

Absolute gem of a pub!! Was super busy at the bar with locals having a Friday pint, was amazing to see... The food is delicious, the atmosphere as it should be for a pub, staff are super friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend this place for food and a drink!!

Lovely friendly pub, great food and a nice chilled atmosphere

Only called in after a 4 mile dog walk along the canal and rememberd the Star was there so called in for a quick drink as we haven't been up there since COVID. Lovely old world charm pub tucked away in mamhilad. Not 100% sure but could of recently been taken over as were cards on the table with the proprietors names. Great place to take your dogs as they are welcome anywhere to sit. Was just a really pleasant atmosphere, fire was going, couple of locals in the bar area and staff were super nice and fussing over the dogs with dog treats. They were already setting tables for food for that evening which is a good sign. Will definitely be a go to in the summer on our walks and will be trying for dinner at some point soon.

Another pub with character.....just off the Mon Brecon Canal....well worth a stop off. Friendly staff with a warm welcome in store.

Great country pub with good food and service... however I'd not appreciate a group of (5) off road bikers walking into the bar/eating area covered in mud!!!!

Fantastic selection of real ales, lagers and ciders. Service excellent and a friendly atmosphere. Did not eat but food looked excellent and very reasonably priced.

Went to the star inn today was greeted by a very helpful , friendly barmaid got served beautiful food bearing in mind they stop serving at 14.00 and we ordered at 13.55 . Which I thought was very good service. Used to always love this pub years ago and think it's Gona be back on the favourite place to visit .

Banging food, we dropped in by the off chance we could get served, after a walk along the canal. Lovely staff. Good value for money.

Lovely charming old-fashioned country pub with really great food. Dog friendly whochnisnt great for me as I am allergic but they were not close. I did eat here 35+ years ago and it was a fantastic. Pleased to say it has kept its standards up

Food was gorgeous, best I have tasted for a long time ,it was really busy and warm and welcoming, will definitely visit again

Sunday roast was stunning highly recommend and value for money!

the pub was very full, wasn't able to sit at the table allocated as previous guests stayed longer so given table where many over excited young children were racing about, and in and out of door close by...but the main meal was excellent, but, needless to say, we didn't stay for dessert. As this was a last-minute booking, we just ate, paid the bill and left, although we have eaten there many times before and probably will again in the future.

Fantastic home cooked Sunday Lunch 👍🏼

What a gem of a proper country pub, we (6 of us) called in for Sunday lunch, although we hadn't booked we were able to get a table. The food and service was really good. Thank you for accommodating us at short notice.

Went for lunch on Saturday with family. Nice pub with friendly, helpful staff. Meals were good and enjoyed by all. There were a few gluten free options on the menu, for me and my husband who are both Coeliac, but more GF options would have given us a better choice. However, I would still recommend this place for those requiring gluten free.

Got there ordered food no chef on duty left

Great country pub close to the canal

Such a lovely country pub to visit 🤩

Proper pub serving really good and well priced food. I'll be back.

Popped in for a drink on a long way. Lovlee staff and great service.

Absolutely stunning meals. Without doubt one of the best steaks I've had eating out. Will be returning very soon !.

Fabulous lunch thank you to all the staff. Looking to book for a Sunday lunch.

Really friendly pub just of the Brecon Canal. Great service, great food and amusing toilets seats. We visited twice on holiday as my husband was chuffed to find a place that still serves food in baskets lol.

We stop here everytime we cycle along the canal, always a warm welcome. A must visit place, we truly love it

Very warm and friendly welcome, delicious meals and great atmosphere. Wonderful lunch stop.

Love this pub. Great views and pint

Great food. Good pint and lovely outside area

Cozy little pub along the Brecon/Monmouthshire canal. Great chance to walk to the Folly and finish with a drink. Covid rules still require booking, which is hard when walking due to planning time.

Fabulous place, great welcome and the food was amazing. We happened to book accommodation next door to the pub (oh, don't tell the missus, I may well have planned it more than she thinks!!) We certainly made use of the 'next door' facilities and we are already planning a return visit. Definitely worth a trip to check it out.

Fantastic pub 🍻 still doing what pub's do best!

Nice place with free parking, if you’re walking across the canal it’s very easy to get to, worth taking the family.

Lovely pub nice big garden excellent pint

Friendly country pub good pub food

To be honest food didn't meet the recommendations I had although still nice. No doubt a beautiful place to go on a summers day where you sit outside and enjoy the weather with a drink or two

What's up with the Bass? Probably just sucking as it's been in the pipes. Serve it warm anyway. Sorry do you mind if I change to the Butty. That's another £4.10 please. Erm... thanks I suppose?

Absolutely 1st class service and food 👌 staff were so kind and helpful. My brother and his wife were visiting from Canada 🇨🇦. They used spend time here in their courting days brought back wonderful memories for them. They celebrate 🍾 63years of a wo derful Happy marriage this year xx

Good food and beer. Lovely location.

Friendly welcoming pub. Good outside space. Didn't eat but food looked good. Quite busy.

Proper country pub with great food..

Lovely staff, warm and welcoming. Food delicious and plentyful. Would definitely go back.

Great, friendly, traditional pub.

Great pub but had to wait ages to order food staff not at all helpful as manager was away at the time tried to order coffees was told kitchen shut. They could have offered instant coffee but was not the case. Food is very nice manager lovely I bet she would be angry at her staff for their behaviour to customers

Old fashioned bar, welcoming staff and some decent lagers on tap to choose from.

Great local pub, nice ales, fireplace, funny toilet seats

Lovely food and very reasonable.

Lovely little pub in the lanes.

Nice place for some food and drink

One the best pints I always have whenever I go there everyone polite and friendly great food if your just after a snack and something bigger,and the views always make it beautiful

Good beer friendly nice open fire.

Small Country pub with large garden. Well kept real ales.

Visited here one evening when we were on the canal. Very friendly chat with the regulars in the Bar and a nice evening meal, traditional pub menu served quickly.

Enjoyed our food, my partner said it was lush so I can't disagree with that. Unfortunately for me as the driver a nice cold pint was out of the question but we look forward to visiting you again soon.

Lovely pub lovely landlord nice selevtion of ales and very good food

Beautiful setting on the river, well maintained site with spotless showers and toilets .

Popped in for a crafty pint and a sarny on our way through from Brecon!

Came here for Sunday lunch the food was good and good value for money and staff was very polite and friendly

Terrific pint of Butty Bach , good service. Proper country pub. Will be back on next trip down from Edinburgh

Very pleasant and helpful. A good experience for lunch. The toilet decor can as a bit of a surprise. The same in the Ladies and the Gents or so I am told.

Really nice little country pub, picturesque church opposite and a quiet rural location ideal for sitting out in the beer garden of a summers evening but with real log fires and cosy nooks inside making it an excellent winter retreat also. Food is really very good striking a rare balance between quality food and a wide selection. They recently catered for a large family meal for us and the service was friendly and efficient. It doesn't have any play equipment for the kids, it also doesn't have the widest selection of drinks, though what it does have is pretty good. These are the only things stopping me offering a full 5 stars

Excellent value for money served by friendly staff. Will certainly visit again.

Best cooked dinner I have eaten out

Nice pub foid ok but too many dogs allowed to wander around to eating area.

Loverly pub , the food here is excellent and a good variety of drinks . Bar staff very pleasant, and helpful great service .plenty of parking and a really nice relaxing beer garden . 😌

Lovely.daughter thought it was the best steak she has had

Very good food a little bit tight for sitting down

Nice pub, good beer garden with lovely views

Staff were really friendly. Lovely view from the beer garden.

Lovely food... Nice atmosphere... only complaint is there was no starters on the menu...

Choice of three real ales which were well kept. A huge beer garden. Just what we needed after a long walk in the Black Mountains. Thanks.

Excellent food, service and surrounding area.

Great place to stop off after a long walk alomg the towpath to refresh yourself with a pint of lovely bass and a baguette

Lovely country pub. Serving good beer and excellent meals. Friendly helpful staff.

Great nearly canal side pub with 3 real ales. Butty Bach excellent. Friendly and the food looks good.

Good pint and pleasant location.

We met Mark the new owner tonight lovely guy lovely staff and great food to finish, definitely recommend 👌

Nice meal, kids meals really good. The fish fingers were actually strips of fish coated in batter, the kids loved them. Very obliging staff even on a busy lunchtime, nothing too much trouble. Will visit again.

Beautiful foiod lovely little pub

Really dog friendly, they even have treats on the bar. Very efficient staff and super friendly. Food was very nice too

Nice atmosphere, lots of outdoor seating, lovely place to sit in the sun

Great food and beer. Spent a lo Ely afternoon in the march sun in the garden.

Lovely 'local' pub with a roaring fire, just a few minutes walk from Bridge 62 on the canal.

Lovely country old fashioned pub. Good food as well.

Great little pub with an extensive menu ,even on a Sunday . Great service from the young lady that served us. Very close to the Mon and Brecon canal so a walk before or afterwards makes for a great day out !

Sweet little pub with great food. Definitely recommend.

Lovely warm and cosy. Lunch Menu a bit limited but ideal.
