Review on Raglan Arms

Deep in Welsh farming country between Usk and Raglan, this two-story 'red stone' hostelry has cleverly made the transition from drinkers' den to reputable pub/restaurant. Inside, it still has a traditional bar dispensing local brews, but most attention now focuses on the stylish conservatory dining area with its deep terracotta walls, leather sofas and enticing blackboard menus.

Supplies of fish arrive daily from Cardiff market, and the kitchen comes up with sharp modern dishes such as beef carpaccio with shaved beetroot and Parmesan or sea bream with lemon and tarragon sauce. Elsewhere, the day's choice might feature calf's liver with champ, casseroled oxtail with beer and root vegetables, and wild boar with apple and Stilton sauce. Desserts such as iced strawberry parfait or crème brûlée with red berry compote and a short, global wine list complete the picture.

    Fantastic

    My parents absolutely love The Raglan Arms and who can blame them? It is an absolute gem with the best food I have tasted in Wales. The menu often changes which keeps up the excitement but the Crispy Squid and Medallions of Monkfish in a Curry sauce were spectacular today. All complimented with a crisp and delicious Chardonnay. Service and ambience are always perfect and the owners take immense care with every detail. Highly recommended!

    Good food

    We visited the Raglan Arms in December as a family. We got a warm welcome and the service was excellent. They cater for different allergies and advised us about gluten free food etc. We chose different dishes but we all agreed it was hot and tasty. We will definitely go back.
