The best restaurants in Monmouthshire South Wales

Lovely cafe serving good food, coffee, teas and cakes. Service friendly and quick. Food was very good. Dog friendly. Only gave 4 for atmosphere as even though lively and welcoming noise levels made it difficult to chat.

The baristas are always friendly and happy when talking the orders for food and drink.

great location for days out around the brecon area.. aber town only 6 mins drive or walk it in 25/30 mins.. friendly helpful staff..

Went on spec. Turned put it was an all you can eat buffet. Everything was very good. I do prefer the normal menu situation as the buffet doesn't cater for the stronger curries I prefer. Well worth a visit though.

Likely the best lunch I've had in Abergavenny for the price, drinks are well made, service is speedy considering how busy it was when we went there, setting was really well thought out, food was unbelievably high quality and the servers were kind, friendly, attentive and smart. Our server introduced themselves and gave a really great experience. I will visit every time I am in Abergavenny.

Deze inn, vlakbij het kanaal gelegen, is uitstekend geschikt voor lucht. Ze hebben voornamelijk salades en pizza’s. Ik had de pizza pepperoni met extra champignons, mijn vrouw de warme geitenkaas met geglaceerde hazelnoten. Allebei erg lekker en voldoende, en zeer betaalbaar. Aanrader

Used to be excellent- no longer the case. Food was ok, the service was on a par with Basil Fawlty crossed with Julie Walters in the ‘2 Soups’ comedy sketch. We had booked a table for 4 on Saturday evening. We were taken to our table to find a different waitress had just taken 2 other people to it. They were told to move somewhere else by the guy showing us to the table. Everything was done properly with space between tables although the place was quite empty anyway. We placed our order with the waitress, who didn’t seem very competent. I questioned whether they had taken every order on the table. We checked and they said yes but then 15 minutes later came over to say they only had orders for 3 main courses. It took 3 attempts to get a wine list and 5 attempts to get some water. The waitress brought out the starters and said ‘I’m not sure what they are, but here you go’. A little training might be worthwhile. At some point a waitress brought us out 2 main courses of pork chops. We hadn’t ordered those so sent them away. The main course didn’t arrive for about an hour by which point they had apologised that they had forgotten us and offered free deserts on the house. After waiting ages for the plates to be cleared from the table and asking for the desert menu we gave up and went to the desk to pay as we thought it would take ages for them to bring it to the table. That in turn was eventful, they tried to give us the wrong bill for 2 different tables. In the end we just agreed to a bill that resembled some of the food we had eaten, paid and left. Total incompetence from start to finish, but well worth it if you want free table side entertainment.

The staff were very friendly and the food was exceptional. Great proper pub. Super ham sandwich and the chips were to die for. Apparently the host is renowned for their quality.

This was my first time staying in a pub and I absolutely loved it! Very cozy with just a few rooms and quite comfortable. The Lamb and Flag is off the beaten path on the outskirts of Abergavenny so it was peaceful and quiet. Lovely views of the hills when you sat outside with a pint, and the food was amazing! I had the bangers and mash twice because it was so good. All of the staff were lovely and very helpful. Around the back are walking trails up to the winery and Sugar Loaf mountain. It’s about an half hour walk into the main town but being a bit more remote made it nice to get away from the madding crowds. A peaceful and cozy respite in Abergavenny. I would definitely stay there again.

Very welcoming staff, and dog friendly. Great selection of drinks and food, they were all delicious. We ordered 2 coffees, smoothie and banana frappe plus brunch.

My favourite restaurant in Chepstow! Never had a bad experience, the pizza is always great and the staff are super friendly! Would highly recommend to anyone. They also do vegan pizzas which is a bonus.

Worst Italian meal ever. Can't usually go wrong with an Italian, but completely underwhelmed. Shame, as a beautiful venue. Meal wasn't good at all, and expensive at that. Never again.

Lovely traditional pub, Vic the landlord gives such a friendly warm welcome. Dog friendly, sunny beer patio and good beers. What more would you want. Xxx

What a fabulous little coffee shop the food was amazing with the best toastie I have ever tasted and dog friendly too. I will definitely be back soon.

Just wandered up to the pub. Half a dozen in the dining room. Woman behind bar, obviously the "boss" chatting to a lady about something across the bar. Got a sideways glance, so I went to a young barmaid who was on her phone. Asked for a pint, but she said she was too young to serve me. She went up to the "boss" who initially ignored her and carried on chatting. Eventually, she acknowledged the presence of the barmaid who told her what I'd ordered. I took a look at the menu, and still, the woman kept on chatting, making no attempt to pour the beer. It was just chatter, nothing more. After a couple more minutes, I said to the barmaid, "Thank you, but don't bother," and I left. Previously, the service had been excellent, but something's obviously changed. Off to find somewhere else to eat. 😪
