This “fabulous” and famous venue near Abergavenny, “run by the great chef Stephen Terry”, is “in many ways the gastropub archetype, with its heavy focus on local ingredients and suppliers, cooked expertly but without pretension”. “Lunch on a quiet weekday didn’t have many people there, but the chef pulls out all the stops. The menu is inspiring and imaginative, and the portions very generous”.

High-profile chef Stephen Terry’s “excellent gastropub serves high-quality local produce” and achieves glowing ratings in all reports this year. One repeat-visitor, though, while describing it as “excellent”, queries whether “expansion of both menu and covers has fractionally reduced its appeal”.

“High-quality ingredients, deftly cooked to delicious effect” is typical of the high praise often evident in feedback on Stephen Terry’s restaurant-with-rooms: a stop-off, en route to the Brecon Beacons. More sceptical reports, though, feel the food is merely “OK”, and there’s also the odd gripe about “chaotic” service.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
