The best restaurants serving British food in South Wales

We had a brilliant afternoon tea for 7, the food was excellent as were the service and cakes especially. Nothing too much trouble.

Your afternoon tea was bought for us as a gift. We booked a table one month ago for 3pm on the 6th February 2020. Having made a special journey into Cardiff, we arrived at 2.45pm only to be told that there was no evidence of our booking on your system. After much deliberation with the chef, the lady on reception was able to squeeze us in. After our table was prepared, we were shown to a dark and cold dining room. We were the only diners. The lady was very helpful and we were able to choose sandwiches from a small selection. They were freshly prepared albeit only three fingers each. The tea was fine, but the small scones were not home-made (disappointingly) and the cream was squirty and not as advertised in one of your previous review replies as being clotted cream. We asked about this and were told that clotted is not an option. So we made do with butter. The three small (and we mean small) pieces of cake were dry and bore no resemblance to those advertised on your website. We left most of them. All in all, the worst afternoon tea experience that we have ever encountered. Atmosphere was poor and would have preferred sitting in the warm lounge area.

Weren't sure what time we would get there so we ordered 2 takeaway Sunday vegetarian lunches at £13 each. What we got was enough for 2 meals each! Nut loaf, veggie sausage, veggie stuffing, cauliflower cheese, 6 other veg, a tub of onion gravy each and a Yorkshire pud. The veg were not over cooked and everything tasted good. So - good food, well cooked, good portions at a bargain price! Conclusion; we'll be back on Wednesday for curry night!

Four of us went for my birthday, weather wise not the best but sat by the window and really enjoyed ourselves.We all had different meals we got served really quick hot tasty food with lovely chunky chips . all plates were empty returns.We then went for a dessert which was outstanding but everyone filling up and struggling.Warm and cosy definitely go back could have stayed longer but everyone goes home early since COVID.

Stayed overnight in “Eddie” The Olway Inn Just off A449 between Newport and Monmouth South Wales NP19 1EN A flat concrete car park at the rear, so quiet. Lovely welcome by the landlady Diane and her partner Dave. Got to meet the regulars Scooby Steve, Mechanic Steve, Michelle, Curly, and others who made us feel most welcome. The food and drinks were excellent and very reasonable, sat next to an open wood fire. Short 10 minute walk into Usk Would definitely look to visit again 10/10

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.

Sprokwobbles has closed. What a tragedy. Lovely food and friendly staff. Miss it so much. Let's hope it can return soon. Nothing to match it in Usk.

I booked my doughters engagement here paying the deposit when covid struck .a they could not offer an alternative date so I was told I would get my money back .I was offered £100 per week .We excepted at least we will get our money back we thought.Two years on and we are still waiting for our money from the manager Craig.This company cannot be trusted and I would not book your wedding extra her .They just take your money and not provide the survive.

An amazing menu of delicious and varied dishes. Lots of vegetarian adaptations of the menu too. The staff were friendly and knowledgable. A perfect meal so thank you very much to David for organising this special meal.

Great fun on a Friday night - ukulele duo so, so good! Great covers of a range of songs and so talented! Great evening! The Rock rocks!

Visited this restaurant over the weekend for a family event and to say the food was star quality is an understatement. Staff were attentive so a huge thank you to Anna and Sophie along with all of the kitchen crew for the incredible work and how efficient they all were with service to our family and friends. The Sunday menu had something for all parties will be back in the future that’s for sure!!

Called in on a Saturday evening after giving up on the Towpath Inn. Definitely made the right choice. Landlord was welcoming and the waitress was friendly and helpful. Ordered burgers which were really tasty and great value. Lovely local atmosphere and good drinks selection. Can’t go wrong with this pub!

Had my 50th birthday party over the bank holiday weekend. Venue was great, service was excellent and food was fab with a mix of meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Staff friendly and did everything to make the night a success, they even went out to buy more Kahula when they ran out! Great hosting by Josh, he made the night go swimmingly and was really friendly and organised, a great party. Thanks all 🥳

We stopped in for a quick lunch. The lady behind the bar was friendly and welcoming and the bar is well stocked with draught beer and a good range of wine. there is seating both inside and outside There is an extensive menu but we only wanted a light lunch. What we selected was fine but fairly bland - the salad only had a lightly drizzle of dressing. It was a pleasant visit and we would stop here again and try some other dishes.

Been many times different times of day/different days of the week, and from small groups to large family meals/celebrations, can honestly say we have never had a single problem food and service is always amazing regardless of hour busy they are, nothing is ever to much trouble 1000% would recommend
