    We arrived for Sunday lunch early and the venue was very quiet. We were seated and served in a good time. The menu had great choices and wasn't too overwhelming. The food was fantastic, you couldn't fault it. One improvement would be ro turn heating on in the toilets - it was freezing in there!! All in all, a fabulous place with great atmosphere, staff and food!

    Access is not easy for anyone with minor handicaps. Steps are steep and passages narrow and tortuous. The welcome is warm. Tables and chairs comfortable but rather close together. Food was good, menu varied and well presented

    A fantastic meal, in a lovely setting with a nice warm log fire burning, the young man that serviced us was very attentive and friendly, it was without a doubt a lovely evening. Great food, great choice, great place and great service, everything you could want, we'll be back again.

    What a fantastic find. The moment we arrived we were warmly greeted by the bar and waiting staff. Very attentive throughout. A lovely cosy atmosphere as you would want from an English pub, Food choices were varied and suited all tastes and the standard of cuisine was very good. We live in France so for us this was a treat and we will be back

    I booked for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. We were all really disappointed with the poor service, one waitress spent ages chatting to what appeared to be friends and in the end we had to ask for service. The food was also disappointing, veg cold, roast potatoes cold and hard, my Yorkshire pudding was folded in half and soggy. Sadly I can't see us using the Abergavenny again as this is not the only time we were let down.

    Food and surroundings very good. Service was not great but I think that was due to a shortage of staff. Those staff that served us were very pleasant.
