Monmouthshire Restaurants

Newbridge Inn, The

One wonders if the Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans' pub is a country-chic bolthole, a gastropub or a restaurant with rooms. Well, it's actually a combination of these three and is housed within a traditional building.

• Address: Tredunnock, nr Usk, NP15 1LY (Map)
• Cuisine(s): English, Modern
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £21.00, Dinner: £35.00

Oaks Restaurant

Beauty comes naturally to the Wye Valley, a rich, verdant and picturesque locale, which offers leisure delights such as golf, racing, walking, cycling and rugby amongst numerous others. The Beaufort Hotel in Chepstow is a striking 16th century coaching inn with several en suite bedrooms for a restful stay and despite the restoration, little has been detracted from the original charm.

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.
