Couldn't ask for a nicer place to stop for a bite. Prices are so fair, I'd eat here rather than cook at home, if I lived locally.

OMG just had child's chicken dinner and adult beef dinner takeaway 😋 all for £15 , would recommend this dinner to everyone, the gravy was so delicious we had gravy and bread after . BIG THANKYOU to USK VALE RESTAURANT, delicious food, plenty of it and tasty gravy. You couldn't buy it for that price

We parked up yesterday, took the dog for a quick walk. Wanted to go and have a look as soon as many positive comments…as far as I could see there was only one entrance from the car park which was up some steps, along a gravel path to some very steep metal steps to a patio area. The area was not appealing at all - old musty arm chairs dumped by the side of the building, old metal table and chairs in front of us - we turned around without even entering the building - appalling entrance to a pub which we were looking forward to seeing ……what a shame…

Friends and I came on a bank holiday - first time under new management. We had their ‘small plates’- wow!! Very impressive! We chose a variety between the 4 of us snd all we very impressed at the quality of the food. Such a reasonable price too. We sat outside because it was actually a sunny Monday Bank Holiday. The outside areas need work but reading their future plans, I am looking forward to what the new owners will do to the Usk Vale. Would definitely recommend and we’ll definitely come back. Thanks for the amazing food

We stopped here for Sunday lunch while enjoying one of the many great bike rides in the area, and are so glad we did. We received a very warm welcome on our arrival. The restaurant has a warm and friendly atmosphere. We both went for the three course option, and every one was a winner. Delicious home-cooked food with a friendly and efficient service. A lovely and perfect end to our day. This place is highly recommended, and now that we have found it, we will most definitely be back.

Visited 6/2, for lunch choosing Cheese & Onion Panini with salad, Cumberland Sausage Mash Peas & Gravy & Brunch. Food was very good, all 3 meals for under £28 with pints of Diet Coke @ £1 95. No desserts for us as we were full (maybe next time). One of our party walks with the aid of a arm/elbow support & staff offered the use of the side door so she did not have to use the steps. Very grateful for that but there was no disabled toilet on the premises.

Food ok but not a great choice. Service was fine, they seemed like nice friendly people here but a bit more effort on appearance would be good for waiting staff. The atmosphere was poor. Not cosy and a mixed bag of tables and chairs. Could do with a few pictures on the walls a tidy up on the bar and proper menus. Also accessibility is bad, had to carry a pram up stairs to get in and elderly relative struggled a bit.

Disappointing 60th Birthday (18 people). 21/07/23 Booked 2wks in advance, offered to pre order this was declined by the venue. Upon arrival, when ordering drinks at the bar we were questioned if the table booked was for a teenagers party? When ordering the majority of the party opted for starters, great price, £15 for 2 courses. The starter came out quickly and was presented well. It all went a bit downhill from there… The table was cleared and replacement cutlery was ‘dumped’ in the middle of the table. It was approx. 40mins for a few of the main courses to come out. The last member of our party received theirs 50mins after the first main was given. No member of staff asked at any point during the evening ‘if everything is ok’ surely a standard practice in the hospitality industry? We finished up with a home made Birthday cake, kindly brought out by the staff that was then presented to the wrong person. When questioned the server replied ‘no one told me who it was’. I suppose the point to make is, sadly, this venue was way out of its depth with a large party. As the only table booked eating in the venue the expectation for even average service was expected, was this too much to ask? My mother in law approached the server to express our disappointment (she was upset as she had arranged the booking) and was told ‘we had to do 18 covers’. We don’t get together as a family as often as we should, it’s such a shame our evening was tainted by poor service which most definitely could have been avoided. Edit, 23/07/23 after response from owner. I actually paid for both 2 courses me and my partner had. I think you might be getting me confused with my sister in law who did speak with you. I have not complained about your food, please re-read above. Considering 2 courses were £15 I believe what I received was satisfactory for the price. My review was simply pointing out the lack of service and attention the only party eating in your venue, on clearly a special occasion received. You should learn from conservative feedback and stop with the defensive if you wish to grown your business and support the community/Newport.

I am sitting on the fence here. Booked a table 3 weeks back and turned up 25/05 to find the restaurant in darkness, no tables set up and a distinct lack of atmosphere. On arrival I was told the kitchen was not open. The member of staff then went to speak to someone else who checked the booking and apologized for the lack of service. The chef was out dropping another MOS off and was told he would be back soon. Was offered tea/ coffee twice whilst waiting, which raised a concern. Asked if they were serving alcohol to which they said yes. We put an order in and was brought out a menu to peruse. It was a breakfast menu. Asked for the main menu that could not be found. The chef turned up and also apologised. No menu, only what was in his head. Not a lot of choice but we stuck with it. The food was tasty when served but not well presented. The chips came in a large container that we had to serve ourselves. My friend had sausage and mash and the mash came in a separate container. Only 2 items on the dessert menu. It transpires that the Usk Vale has recently been taken over, about the time of my booking. Chef said Sunday dinners are a big hit but if the presentation is anything like our meal, I would be surprised. He offered up only meat dishes, which did not capture my imagination. When I asked if he had any fish, he said No but he would source for me, which he did. I have to give him credit where it is due. I don't think they had my booking and were thinking on their feet to keep our custom. Hopefully things will get better there.

2nd time visiting the gem during mid week firstly let's talk about the pub, it has everything good sports bar a decent sized restaurant and a private function room. The new owners have set the right standards from the off and can only be on route to a prestigious pub/restaurant in the area. The food was excellent portions we're that of a typical pub gurb...large and value for money you will not be disappointed by the standards either, im a bit of a foodie and the burger delivered 10 fold.... attached a few photos good luck guys and look forward to a regular visit 👌

Dreadful experience of The Usk Vale for Sunday lunch this afternoon. We waited an hour before the mains were presented even though the starters had not even appeared before the mains arrived. The lamb was nice but let down for the slow service provided. The door leading to the smoking area was left open leaving the smell of cigarettes hitting our noses, before we could smell the food infront of us. Waitresses were polite and friendly but perhaps more training is needed from management. We will not be returning anytime soon.

Absolutely lovely little place and it's gets a rare 5 STARS from myself and I'm sure from my family too. The food was excellent, all homecooked and not a microwave in sight, the staff were all super friendly and the service was great. The food took around 10-15 mins to arrive after ordering. My family went for the roast dinner with different meats, (which they all said was delicious and well cooked, I however went against the grain and went for the scampi and chips which, I have to say I don't normally do on a Sunday but I'm glad I did as it was one of the best I've had, the chips were also homemade, NOT frozen, hallelujah, a chef that can be bothered to peel a few spuds. You might say it's only a chip but that's a hard thing to get right. As a chef myself, I know what I'm looking for and It's simple food but that's often the best when done really well, as it was here. The price was more than fair too, considering how much meat we all had. Then there was the desert, we all went (6 of us) with the exception of 1, for the flake cheesecake which again, was to die for, the odd one out went for chocolate cake a custard which she said was one of the best. I have to say though, super well done to the care, love and and attention this chef and his team put into that food, what a guy. If it wasn't for my Great Uncle saying about this place we'd never have known it was there as its off the beaten path, but I'd highly recommend this place although I want to be a little selfish and save it just for myself, lol. It's a long review as it deserves it and it's not often I give 5 STARS! Well done, we'll definitely be back for years to come. Unfortunately, I was too busy eating this lovely food to take photos but I will the next time were there, which'll be very soon I'm sure.
