Hidden in the tiny picturesque village of Nantederry near Usk, is a gem of a find called The Foxhunter. After eight years of training under some of the most celebrated chefs in London, culinary sensation Chef Matt Tebbutt returned to his homeland and plunged headlong into his new venture - turning an old Victorian pub into a modern restaurant that has a stunning mix of original features and contemporary comfort.

Drawing on the influences of his expert mentors, Matt offers the very best of modern British cooking characterized by daily changing menus featuring local, organic and seasonal ingredients. Begin with the taglioline with wild duck sauce and aged pecorino cheese, followed by roasted and braised mallard, choucroute, juniper and buttered pears. A meal here can be pretty intense, but skipping dessert isn't an option. Work around your appetite and conclude with a selection of British cheeses served with homemade fig salami and toast. One of the biggest attractions in the locality, The Foxhunter has also bagged several awards including AA Restaurant of the Year for Wales and AA Notable Wine List 2008 and 2009.
