How can I recommend a restaurant that trades on its "reputation" yet treats its customers with cool contempt? Althouh we had pre-booked we were shoved away out of sight out of mind in a draughty end room. We probably had the "b" team as it was lunch-time (Aug 17th) but what hard work it was extracting a wine list, the correct cutlery, even obtaining the correct order! To be fair - my sea- food pasta was wonderful but my wife's crab salad was a deplorable mess. Part thawed crab meat (still thawing water into the salad) badly dressed meat ( full of shell ) and tired salad leaves. I had a terrible experience here about three years ago so thought "it must have improved" by now recommended it to friends ( they paid so I couldn't complain). Well it hasn't improved- its a horrid place where "attitude" rules.

My partner and I have been to this friendly little place three times and ate there twice. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and desserts, very very good. The Whistle Inn was recommended to us by our biker friend - Dai Food:-> need I say more? Lol. We have been warned, however, NOT to order the full grill - Rosies grill I think, as not even the mighty god of food could finish it!!!! But if your hungry, hey - I'd say go for it and fill your boots, but don't have breakfast that day - or the week prior too come to think of it !! Lol. Great place excellent atmosphere!! Brill. Lovely scenery and love the sheep too :-> Will be going back lots. Yum. :->

my family and i enjoyed a lovely cosy evening at the Lifeboat Tavern.The meal was excellent ,pub food at it's best.The Burritos are to die for.Lovely beer garden at the back,but get there early for inside table.We visited last year,and we will certainly visit again next year.

My husband and I had a meal here while visiting Chepstow from Canada. I have eaten Greek food many times on Toronto's Danforth Avenue, as well as in Greece, and the flavour and quality of the food served at Mythos rates right up there with both places. I was surprised to find such a beautiful venue outside of a big city. The food and atmosphere are fabulous! If I ever find myself in that part of the world again, I will definitely return for another meal!

My advice - don't go. My mother and I went for Sunday lunch there today. I requested additional gravy when our order was taken. When our food arrived the extra gravy didn't. So, I put the gravy onto our dinners and requested another gravy boat. When the gravy was brought it was barely half full. Halfway through the meal my mother's dinner was dry, so I requested more gravy. We were told that we'd have to wait until the whole restaurant had been served to see if there was any left. Half an hour later my mother reminded the waitress: they brought the gravy out in a small dish. Needless to say we won't be going there again. The waitresses made us feel as if we were being greedy by asking for more gravy. The dinner came to £12.90 for the two of us. I don't think it unreasonable to have more gravy at these prices!

We visited the Rifleman's Arms about 2 weeks ago. Lovely building with a nice cozy restaurant, we were given menu's and were totally shocked at the prices! The dishes were unexciting and something you could find at your local Harvester. I wish we had chosen the Harvester because the prices are a fraction of the price for the same quality of food. The waitress was very unattentive and rushed. The choice of desserts were also un-imaginitive - all mostly ice creams! We won't be visiting again because if we wanted this standard of food then Harvester is only 5 minutes away! Shape up guys! & Lower the prices!

This pub is advertised on the Internet as the 'Best pub in Wales'...however, I beg to differ...the food was possibly THE WORST I have ever tasted, my chicken kiev was overcooked and completely dry with no garlic sauce in it at all, my wife had the chicken chasseur and quite frankly she had tasted better from homepride, the chips we were served up were obviously McCain crinkle cut...so much for home made as was advertised..The vegetables were not cooked properly and the landlady was incredibly rude and abrupt and maybe needs to attend a course on people skills as at the moment this appears to be lacking. The most annoying factor about this pub (you cannot seriously call it a restaurant!!!) is that if you want to order beers with your food, you have to pay for them with cash only as they can't be added on the food bill (which you have to pay for before you sit down to eat I may add!!!). All in all, extremely disappointing, the only positive thing about the pub is that it looks absolutely beautiful....apart from that...this pub is to be avoided!!!!!

Great pub friendly atmosphere

The Hanbury Arms is a great pub with a great atmosphere the food is good and at affordable prices, staff are friendly. Their Sunday Lunch is excellent and at £4.00 for one course you can't go wrong, but you have to book as it is very busy as you can imagine with the price

Beer is all right. The landlord is OK but the landlady thinks she's chocolate. I left after one pint as she prefers talking to regulars than serving visitors.

Used to be good until the people from the ship and anchor came here. Now the food and presentation is lousy, like the beer. The chap in charge of the kitchen is the problem. Obviously never heard of soap and water.

Consistently good food, well cooked and presented; served by young but professional staff. Welcoming attentive and friendly hosts. A warm and relaxed ambience and the best value for money dining experience for miles around. But watch the wine by the glass - prices high and can rub off the value for money quotient.

I absolutely loved dining out at the Llangeinor Arms. The weather outside was awful, but the atmosphere inside was warm and welcoming. The meal was delicious and the service very prompt. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to try it out!

Stunning Sunday lunch, absolutely gorgeous. Good real ale selection too.

Gorgeous gorgeous food, lovely surroundings and the friendliest staff you could get anywhere. We go here to eat regularly due to quality of menu.

food was average some staff were polite others just rude.Not a place I would choose to dine at.

this place is really lovely, as soon as we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and the food was first class. i can highly recommend visiting the bush inn - i will certainly be going back there!

this place has so gone down hill since my last visit, avoid if you are looking for a nice meal!
