Pubs in Abergavenny

What to know

pubs in Abergavenny

Abergavenny (Y Fenni) is the market town at the mouth of the Brecon Beacons — food festival and castle, Monmouthshire taxi table, not a seaside weekend.

Where to eat

Abergavenny bills itself as the foodie capital of Wales — and makes a compelling case. The Angel Hotel holds its own AA-rosette kitchen. A farmers' market runs on the fourth Thursday of each month in the Market Hall. An independent food scene punches well above the town's population size — look for The Hardwick (3 miles south, Raglan Road) as a destination gastropub with serious local sourcing credentials. The Apple County Cider farm shop near Skenfrith (15 miles north) is open 7 days for tasting.
