We regularly come to venue 59 @ the kings head. It is by far the best Sunday dinner EVER! Important to book as it gets busy with regulars - the main courses are simply amazing. If l were to offer some constructive criticism, l would say the starters and desserts although good, aren't outstanding like the mains. Regardless of this,... More

Went for day trip to Abergavenny and stopped for lunch, at first we were a little dubious about eating in the bar, but we were soon welcomed in to the friendly atmosphere, the food was excellent and good value for money ( you must try the steak in ale pie ) , the kings head is well worth a try...

Stayed here for a family wedding in December 2011. The family room was decent size (which we needed as two kids in travel cots) , reasonable decor. Some rooms did hear the noise from the bar downstairs so if you are a light sleeper you may want ear plugs. The thing to rave about was the staff in the morning... More

My & my friends were in the Venue 59 restaurant again over the weekend (Friday 02/03/12 to be exact) and I just want to give credit to the amazing staff & food that we always seem to get there. The restaurant was very busy, with a large party of people & several other smaller tables to contend with, but the... More

Not only did the blackcurrant and honey jus and the red wine sauce taste purely of bisto which I suppose we could have just about put up with as the meat in our dishes themselves were succulent....but the owner was rude and could not accept criticism in any way and accused all local restaurants of using packet sauces whilst theirs...

We stayed here for two nights and immediately regretted booking it as soon as we arrived. We had hoped for a decent pub with charming rooms. What we go was a room that stank of well, being polite, "bad drains". The room was tiny and the decor tired. The window was broken. When I went down to the pub (not... More

We stayed at the King's Head hotel for a two night mini break sunday to tuesday. We found the hotel on the internet and booked via phone. No deposit was necessary which made us happy plus the staff pre-warned us that they don't serve dinner Sunday night. On arrival to Abergavenny it was a nice 10 minutes walk to the... More

Spent three nights at the King's Head in July 2010, and would definitely return. Ruth and Ken are excellent hosts. Check-in was quick. The room was clean and larger than I had anticipated. The Welsh breakfasts were tasty and substantial, and provided a great source of fuel for hiking the various peaks in the area. As the stay coincided with... More

We stayed one night in Abergavenney with our 2 year old. The hotel is on the side of a pub but opens out into a large guest house and lovely little restaurant. When we arrived we were welcomed warmly and while I moved the car to a local car park (you can only park outside from 5pm, though local pay... More

I stayed at the King’s Head for 3 nights (Sat / Sun / Mon) in September 2009. I liked it, but it wasn’t quite what I’d hoped for. It's clearly kept with care and love, but my room was a little more basic than I'd hoped and the pub was not appealing to me. Location: Excellent!! Right in the center... More
