Amazing food! Everything was very light in taste, in a good way! Even the vegetarian food was great.

After a visit to The abbey a drink and something to eat for lunch was needed. Perfectly placed near…read morethe abbey and on the river was this wonderful pub with plenty of seating outside as the weather was brilliant. Service was second to none. Professional but friendly with it. Nice range of ales and beers. As for the food, outstanding from what we saw. We decided on the ploughmans, a good choice. This was a little of a shock when it came out to us. One ploughmans could have fed both of us. A baguette with butter, four wedges of a wonderful cheese, apple, salad, two huge pickled onions, pickled gherkin, sweet pickle and a really delightful piccalilli (obviously homemade). A really enjoyable lunch time. Thank you everyone.

The location is absolutely stunning with Tintern Abbey on the doorstep. There is a large garden…read morewith plenty of outdoor seating and a playground suited to slightly older children. We didn't sit inside but it looked nicely furnished and had a country pub feel. There is also a cafe attached to the pub which is ideal for light lunches and snacks. We initially went there on a saturday for lunch, I had smoked mackeral fishcakes served with curried egg mayonnaise and salad. It cost £10 which wasn't exactly cheap but the food was of a great standard and I felt worth every penny. My partner had a beef pie which was equally scrum my. This was all washed down with a local Why Valley ale called Butty Bach (I recommend if you enjoy a good ale) You also get the £3 parking cost off your bill if you park in the Abbey car park. We loved it so much we went back on the sunday for a traditional sunday lunch. I had a nut roast and my partner the beef. Again the food was lovely, served with a yorkshire pud and well cooked seasonal veg. If you are in the area I strongly recommend!

This is a great pub to stop in if you come to visit Tintern. Apparently, Somerset Maugham visited…read morehere once and they decided to change the name of the place to honor one of his books. That's how you know you've arrived as an author. There is a wonderful, ancient atmosphere in this low-ceilinged building. I only had time for a quick pint, but there were several people enjoying Sunday dinners, and I would like to have tried one myself. This place has the most dangerous entrance/exit I have ever seen on it. Once you're out the door and down the steps, you're pretty much standing in the road just beyond a blind curve. I don't know how the drunks avoid getting run over. Anyway, I'd recommend this place over the pubs that are closer to the abbey.

We dropped into the Moon&6d during a brief stay in Tintern. It has a superb location overlooking…read morethe pretty meanders of the Wye. I tried 2 cask ales (butty bach,obviously and a local kingstone beer) both tasted great. but i look forward to returning to try their menu next time. The interior decor is traditional and cosy, with seperate sections. It has a decent sized balcony which is a great spot to see this stunning open valley, or some pretty riverside benches. i could have stayed for hours, the staff were on the ball and efficient and i had a chat with new manager who seems to have the passion to really make something of the food side as well as the drinks,he is a product of B'hams excellent UCB so i have faith. a great stop off point midjourney or equally a casual destination for dinner with a cracking view.

This is a typical country pub serving great food. Free Wi-Fi too!…read more For being confronted by a party of 12 arriving on a busy Saturday lunchtime, they coped brilliantly with zero fuss. Initially we sat in the 'restaurant' end (posher tables and chairs), but soon half of the party had to move to the 'bar' end (benches and stools) as we had two dogs with us and they're not allowed in the restaurant area. The food took a while to arrive, not surprising with this large a party, but when it did it was delicious. I chose a baked salmon on cedar plank with coconut butter topping, which was the perfect combination of flavours and cooked just right. That, plus a pint of Doom Bar, one of my favourite ales, set me up for the rest of the afternoon's expedition round the Forest of Dean. Trellech is a lovely village to visit - apparently it used to be larger than either Cardiff or Swansea in medieval times, although you wouldn't know it to look at. Check out the standing stones, the Tump, and the Virtuous Well, famous for curing eye problems and 'complaints peculiar to women'.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES. I was assured that the food didn't have corn or…read moresoy (maize or soya) products in them. They even messed up and brought me gravy thickened with corn starch that they took back and "remade". The problem is, I'm almost positive they brought me back the same initial pie with the corn starched gravy (which I hadn't realized) and then extra gravy that they supposedly made without corn starch the second time. Here's a note: anaphylactic shock is no joke. Even a tiny amount of corn starch, soy or other food allergy in a allergic persons food can kill them. And almost did. Thank God I had an epipen, Benedryl and tranquilizers to get through the pain. It's highly possible too that they hadn't made the pie and didn't bother to check the ingredients. They seemed to care very little and be irritated by my asking about allergens. Save yourself a hospital visit and eat somewhere that people care.
