The Sportsmans Rest in Monmouthshire

Unfortunately, I can only give 5 *'s. It deserves many for for its friendliness of staff, quality of ales and excellent food. Not much more can be said. This is a pub which shouts "Please come back" and you will.

Have been coming here for years, still the best Sunday roast in the area.

If you like onion rings, amazing food and great staff then this is the place for you. Massive onion rings in the lightest crispy batter are a definite must when you come here. Leave enough room for a pudding as they're pretty darn good too. We will definitely be going again

Booked last minute for a family meal wanting to try somewhere different, two fussy eaters one also being vegetarian. On arrival we had a lovely welcome offering us a selection of tables and we decided on a cosy table by the fire. Good choice of wine and beers which were offered to us straight away. Great choice of menu with the curry night also on offer. We chose soup, ckn wings and two lots of calamari to start. All amazing and well presented, calamari dishes had the best looking side salad I’ve seen for a long time! Mains was 3 of us opting for the sirloin steak with mushroom and Stilton sauce and the vegetarian having the halloumi skewer. Steaks were perfect, the service was excellent. Thanks for a great evening!

Large pub, it was freezing in there. Everyone sat with coats on eating Sunday lunch. Would have had a couple more drinks,but seeing 2 or 3 coal fires none lit in the dead of winter was an awful experience

Nice enough pub. Young staff were all great, older staff member (manager?) snapping at younger colleagues in front of customers... Not very professional

Amazing pub! Great hosts! And best cod ever! Fresh n very chunky!

A quite enjoyable meal at a Sunday lunchtime. They were very busy but had plenty of staff and we were well looked after. The food was lovely and I would recommend.

Very lovely food. Was told of a wait time for a table, which was fine, staff kept us informed all the way through. Waiting staff couldn't have been more helpful, it was nice to see staff that wanted to work (for younger generation especially). Only down side was no mention of alcohol in a sauce but that was quickly rectified with out any issues to the staff. However that being said all food was cooked to order and home cooked. Can not recommend this pub enough will definitely be arranging another visit.

Beautiful food. Lovely atmosphere and plenty of places to sit inside and out. I would recommend booking. We went on a Sunday afternoon. Sunday lunch was lovely. Starters were amazing!
