The best restaurants serving British food in Wales

Great cafe. Great atmosphere. I always go for a hearty fry-up for breakfast when I visit. Love chatting with the staff and customers, and having a natter with the boss.

The beer has always been of the highest quality that all other pubs in the local can only aspire.Well done

Floors were dirty in particular toilet areas. Staff were very busy so took a time to get served so a need for more staff. Food turned out to be cold and not fresh

Visited here as I do regularly, not sure why I thought it would be any different to any other visit. Last visit before this I went in for a coffee only to be told it wasn't possible as they had cleaned down the coffee machine, 20 minutes prior to closing - to me a closing time is a closing time to the public and up until that point you serve them, then cleaning down commences after, but I could be wrong. This time I asked for a plain cheese sandwich after checking the shelves to which there was only tuna mayo & egg salad (something similar) left. The lady behind the counter refused to do this for me, blaming Natasha's Law, now I take this very seriously and understand the reasoning behind, however this law regards pre packaged food & labelling. As this isn't the first time I have been refused by the same lady something other than what's on the shelf (which most of the time may I add is hardly anything because they only make a certain amount & have a "it is what it is attitude". ) I am putting it down to pure laziness. It is a shame as Usk doesn't have a decent bakery. It is hardly ever open due to staff shortages, they aren't willing to branch out on customer requests and the attitude is far from hospitable.

Came here for a late lunch at the weekend, after it was recommended to us while holidaying in the area. It didn’t disappoint!!! The food was amazing, hands down the best meal of our holiday. Service also good, and dogs welcomed too. The only feedback I’d give to the restaurant is that we were sat by a door that led out to a garden; people would take drinks out and the door didn’t close properly so we had to keep getting up to close it! Hopefully rectified in the upcoming refurb. Otherwise perfect and would recommend without a doubt!

We had seen the advertising for a Valentines Meal Deal. I enquired as if this was available at lunch time too, as we were travelling a fair distance. Communication was good and we were given a dog friendly table as requested. There wasn't the live music or chocolate dipped strawberries or cocktails on arrival, but we were the only ones celebrating at lunchtime, that I was aware of. The chef came & asked us if there was anything we didn't like and then produced dish after dish of delicious tapas. The freshness, the quality and quantity of every dish was gorgeous. We received more than value for money !! Our cocktails came with dessert which also included our chocolate dipped strawberries, also delicious. I had the impression that this is a new venture & a few service issues will no doubt get ironed out (no staff behind the bar when you need them). The old property also looks as if it is undergoing some improvements. I have no doubt that this is going to be a destination of choice for the quality of food on offer.

Lovely coffee ,will return to try the breakfast.Clean and tidy well worth a visit. Good breakfast menu at a very reasonable price.

Splendid Sunday lunch with the family Highly recommend Staff efficient and helpful Walk after lunch to the Roman ruins down the road and surrounding area of Caerwent

Amazing place. Staff were really busy but so accommodating to me and my one year old. As a pub manager I know how hard it can be with children running everywhere and not knowing how many people turn through the door. But the young lady behind the bar and young gentleman showed maturity beyond their years. Beautiful food too. Thank you 😊 ❤️

Called here January last year I think and food was awesome 👌, called again last Friday 31st May and had a massive plate of dry chips and a very small(half filled) bowl if what was allegedly chilli con carne,It was full of green peppers and I don't recall seeing any mincedbeef/steak although I only venture a very little way down a very shallow bowl of crap,only dipped a couple of chips in and that enough for me K.R.A.P

Friendly and accessible bar. Great staff, quality real ale and delicious food. I was served by Jenny and Jane in the restaurant and very pleasant staff at the bar. The gaffer is a great character and it was a pleasure to visit. Everything is spotlessy clean and the atmosphere is lovely. Made my holiday.

Situated beside the Blaenavon Heritage Centre and what a nice surprise, plenty of choice of food with lovely friendly lady's to help you make your decision.

Popped in for a quick lunch on a Saturday with our dog. Bit of a strange layout in the bar with formal seating mixed with a large children's play area. There was only one other couple in so also very quiet. We ordered two chicken caesar salads described as coming with herby croutons and boiled egg, what we got was 2 garlic chicken salads with cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, onion etc in a honey mustard dressing. They were very nice but bore absolutely no resemblance to caesar salads and no explanation as to why the difference. At £7.95 each we were happy with what we got but we wouldn't return because of the lack of choice on the menu and the random decor.

I visited family last weekend and have to say the changes the the royal are amazing since my last visit. The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating to bruce (my german shepherd ). The bar person brought a bowl of water and treats over for my dog while I watched the football on the big screen. I visited that evening without my dog and the atmosphere was brilliant, the staff again very engaging no matter how busy they were the made time to smile and have a brief chat.

We came for a Sunday lunch they were off ish about giving extra roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings for myself as I don’t eat veg my father was choking to the point I had to get up and try to dislodge the food no taste to the food and the veg was hard staff didn’t even ask if everything was ok when my dad was choking also the food and staff was awful will never go here again
