The best restaurants serving British food in Priory Monmouthshire South Wales

Came up from Cardiff to the market , came across Nosh as wandering around.Food was absolutely delicious . Made from scratch, excellent service, so friendly . Huge portions and really high standard. Definitely returning! Thanks and well done to all working in Nosh and running the business 👍

My wife and I had a light lunch here recently and were very pleased with the service and the food. Would highly recommend the poached eggs and smashed avocado on toast. Excellent and friendly service.

Absolutely lovely county homely pub . Leah and paul are so very welcoming and can’t do enough . There was an outside mobile food event the evening we went but there were no vegetarian options so Leah insisted she do a special dish for me . My vegi burger was the best I’ve ever had and the presentation and sides were fantastic . There was a band playing . Great atmosphere, great pub , well worth eating there . We will be back ❤️

Wow, what an amazing Restaurant, the little plates were out of this world, so many excellent dishes served by very attentive staff. The surrounding are beautifully decorated and such a lovely ambience. Can’t wait to go back again.

What a lovely place and the coffee was excellent the best we have had in a long time . Service was friendly and returned and had another coffee and cakes yummy 😋 😊 Thanks to all the team Mary & Gerald Dartmouth

Friendly staff made you feel very welcome. We were able to sit out the front and enjoy some lovely food. Thoroughly enjoyed , will be back thank you 😊

I stumbled upon Nicholls while exploring Abergavenny, and what a delightful find! This charming café offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere and truly delicious homemade food. Everything tasted fresh and lovingly prepared—especially the cakes, which are absolutely worth saving room for! The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. Whether you’re after a hearty lunch or a coffee and a sweet treat, Nicholls is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Had their new menu and the smash burgers were great. Their burgers have always been good since they have been open since the beginning.

Sat outside on a glorious sunny day for breakfast. Eggs Florentine and a coffee. The coffee arrived quickly but was rather poor quality. The Egg Florentine didn’t have a chance as it was served on the most stale and tasteless substance masquerading as an English muffin. There is a bakery a few yards down the road which will be able to supply advice I’m sure. A fresh muffin and decent coffee would immediately add two stars.

Came to Abergavenny for a wander and something to eat, couldn’t decide on where to dine as we walked through the town, my wife didn’t want us to pay some of the prices of the lovely looking restaurants as we passed. So fish and chips it was and what a treat it was! Beautiful batter, perfect chips and super efficient service. Only 3 stars for atmosphere, which is a little unfair, they aren’t seeking to provide that experience. This was an every bit as good as award winning fish and chips we had recently in Anstruther Scotland. Thanks, we will be back!

Run by youngsters without supervision. Very slow service, considering the place was empty. Tables left dirty with used mugs/cups/plates etc. staff decided to clean the air con unit about the service counter, which displayed food etc. Customers in and out and walking around a ladder and other bits. Disappointed we had chosen this venue to meet up with friends, so many other choices in town.

Met up with friends - lovely quick service and meal as expected (witherspoons norm) very busy and all of us had to congregate round a small table as single people nursing a pint sat in booths!!! Major criticism was air conditioning blowing straight on us and freezing - all woke up with colds this morning

Our recent visit left much to be desired, marred by a series of disheartening lapses in both service and ambiance. To begin, the individual who took our order seemed bewildered by the mere mention of alternative milk—a basic expectation in today’s dining standards. The beverage selection was equally uninspiring. To our dismay, Earl Grey, along with any other quality teas, was notably absent, replaced instead by the most pedestrian option: Tetley. The vegetarian breakfast was a particular letdown—served cold and woefully undercooked. Such careless preparation only compounded the disappointment. The service was mechanical at best, with staff who appeared disinterested, their lack of enthusiasm perhaps reflective of the dreary weather outside. The atmosphere was further dampened by an uninspired music playlist and insufficient lighting, which together created a rather bleak dining environment. While the service was notably swift, one couldn't help but feel that this efficiency came at the expense of quality and care—an unfortunate trade-off. That’s okay. It did the job :)
