£89—5-course tasting-menu meal for 2 in Monmouthshire

Excellent food and service as always-looking forward to our next visit

Fabulous food, wonderful service. Atmosphere suffered as we were the only ones in that lunchtime, but not a big issue. One point we missed, or was not made clear in the original offer, was that some dishes on the menu carried a supplement. That was perfectly fair for the dishes that would usually be pricier, but it would be fair to know that ahead of time. As I said, I may have missed that in the T&Cs.

Simon King is a fine chef but portions are small.

The £25 per person a la carte turned out to be a special menu with £19 per person value. Also, most options on the ‘exclusive’ Travelzoo menus incurred supplements of around £8 to £10 on a main course. Our two course meal with a glass of wine each and coffee cost £90. The owner said they only receive £19 from yourselves and we would be better off dealing directly with you! Offer is, therefore, poor value and leaves a bad taste. Please excuse the pun.

Superb seasonal food and delightful welcoming friendly owners, wish we lived closer. Service above and beyond

The service and the food was exceptional. All courses beautifully presented. The restaurant is in a lovely location. We would highly recommend eating here.

Although we bought the voucher believing that paid for the 2 course meal, we were disappointed that there were supplements on most of the courses. Made it an expensive meal.

Food and service

we had a lovely time

fantastic food for a special occasion

Had the 5 course tasting lunch. All food was quality, tasty, well presented

The service was AMAZING. The food was DELICIOUS. The area was BEAUTIFUL & RELAXING.

All courses served very rapidly. Bread was extra unlike before, and the extra course we had before was missing .

Simon, chef & wife Kate, front of house, are both charming, friendly and welcoming. We were booked to stay for the night as well but, you can’t check in til 5 pm. Checked what time our dinner reservation was and told 6.45 pm! Way too early for us and all a bit of a rush not giving you any time to relax/unwind. We had brought a bottle of champagne with us for my husband’s birthday, to enjoy before dinner, and Simon was very gracious and arranged an ice bucket & glasses for us but, due to early dinner, this was guzzled! Can’t fault the room - beautiful and spacious with quality fixtures/fittings on the 1st floor. Accommodation has a residents lounge and kitchen where continental breakfast is available but, you have to be out of your room by 9.30!! Lovely food selection at breakfast but, again, zero atmosphere as we were the only ones there as the other couple who stayed the night had already left. Your welcome to stay in the kitchen/lounge area til around 11 though which suited us as we’re going to White Castle Vineyard for 11.30 and that’s just down the road. The food was excellent, can’t fault that at all and there is an extensive wine list too but, couldn’t really understand why we had to dine so early as there were only 3 other couples dining the same evening as us! The restaurant is pleasant enough but has zero atmosphere. Overall, we felt the whole experience was rather ‘rushed’ and, having spent around £350 for one night, didn’t feel good value for money.

Simon and Kate were wonderful hosts. The room was outstanding and the taster menu allowed you to choose your own preferences at a small extra cost. Wish we could have stayed longer and will go back. Highly recommended.

Amazing food as always

Wonderful food, fine dining at its best and superb service. Loved the rooms and the flexibility a shared kitchen with continental breakfast offered. The 5 course taster menu was delightful.

Excellent experience all round

A superb 5-course taster meal. Absolutely delicious.

Service was outstanding. Staff incredibly welcoming and friendly. We shall look forward to their new taster menu in the months ahead. It was well worth travelling from Gloucestershire to Abergavenny for our meal.

Delightful leisurely lunch. perfect.
