Prego Restaurant

On a cold, wet, blustery day, the three of us ducked into Bistro Prego, located on traffic-free Church Street in central Monmouth. Number 7 sits amid intriguing galleries, shops, a terrific greengrocer and outstanding butcher; pretty convenient for a busy chef.

Restaurant at Royal George Hotel

The hotel started off life as an iron master's cottage, located picturesquely at the bottom of a hillside where flows the River Wye. Cistercian Monks would have fishing forays from nearby Tintern Abbey and perhaps it is not too much to hope that the odd well-fought fish might still find its way to the hotel.
