In the little-known village of Llangattock Lingoed, just a short drive from Abergavenny, the Hunters Moon Inn is leading a revival of great country pubs and eateries. Serving excellent real ales, and having a charming beer garden and historical 13th century cider mill setting, here is an example to many country pubs and restaurants - pub food with a continental approach but still serving all those old favourites. With its hand-written bistro style menu and 'chef patron' behind the bar, this is pub food at its best.
Using locally produced beef, lamb, sausages and faggots, each pub meal at the Hunters Moon Inn is freshly prepared, and the moist ham and golden chips are genuinely home-cooked. Fresh fish and seasonal vegetables are also delivered to the door and cooked to perfection. There are weekly specials, with the occasional surprise sprinkling of Persian dishes to add a little spice to your pub meal.
Once you’re ensconced by the roaring fire in the bar or seated in the cosy stone-featured restaurant for a pub meal, you’ll wish there were more of these restaurants – pub food served in first class surroundings and with a warm country welcome.
Whether you are a fan of country pubs serving traditional Sunday lunches, or looking for a quiet weekday break at a tranquil restaurant, this is a venue worth seeking out. Less than ten miles from Abergavenny and sign-posted from the main B4521 at Llanvetherine, the Hunters Moon Inn also has four delightful en-suite rooms to offer for overnight stays, weekend breaks or longer visits. Situated upon Offa’s Dyke Path, this is the perfect base for a walking holiday or horse riding expedition, and where better to ease off those muddy boots than at one of Abergavenny’s oldest and most pleasing of country pubs?
There is no doubt that this deserves to be considered one of the area’s best restaurants – pub food or otherwise.
