Not Dog friendly and no signs at door to state this. Therefore, didn't have chance to sample the beer or food. Appears to be more food orientated than a drinking den.

Great pub in the centre of the town.

We drove from Leicestershire to meet family who live in Wales & Abergavenny is a mid way point. Second time at Christmas we've met in the Grofield. The staff are very friendly and welcoming! And we were seated on the same table as last year so it now feels like 'our' table! Decorated for Christmas & the Christmas menu was fabulous.. the lamb was just beautiful!A lovely pub, lovely people, lovely food! (And we left the ice bag behind lol!) See you again we hope! X

Had booked a Christmas roast for a party of 4, Turkey Christmas roast and Beef roast when it arrived the Yorkshire pudding was burnt black (been put under the grill to reheat?) sliced Beef stuck together the whole dinner seemed as if it had been reheated not a very good advert shame really as we have previously had reasonably good food here

Great Pub. Fantastic staff who are always friendly. Food for everyone. Caters for veggies.Andrew runs a good ship.Keep it up.Vegetarian options: Always veggie option. Not everyone veggie likes curries or spices.

The staff were great and the vibe of the pub was good. The food wasn't the best. Came for a roast . We had a Eton mess for dessert and it was sad. It was one of the lowest effort desserts I've ever been served and it was also expensive! So I was really expecting more. The apple crumble had no dough and the apple wasn't properly cooked. Tasted more like apple sauce than a crumble. I always hate reviewing low especially when staff is great but the food was too shocking.

Came back for the steak and ale pie and wasn't disappointed. Friendly warm welcome and busy atmosphere. We had a tiny table tucked in the corner so felt a bit hemmed in. Highly recommended the place and will definitely return.Parking: We parked opposite with a blue badge.

Had lunch there yesterday with family and friends and the food was amazing. Great service by the team and nothing was too much trouble. Portions were generous and reasonably priced. Thanks Andrew and team will definitely be coming back soon.

Lovely meal with friends. Sat in the garden area which is really attractive and has heaters. Reasonable choice of gluten free dishes too.
A really lovely welcoming pub with a nice garden area. Great food at reasonable prices. A very nice experience, would definitely recommend.

Just a lovely pub. I have visited here often with my Mum, Dad and crazy dog! The staff firstly are absolutely amazing, friendly and welcoming. The inside and garden areas are really lovely and spotlessly clean. The food is excellent with specials available daily. Totally dog friendly, the amazing member of staff who serves us regularly whose name I’m ashamed to say I don’t know, always works above and beyond to ensure we and the dog had a lovely time. Best pub in Abergavenny hands down.

First visit today for our Wedding Anniversary lunch! Fab food and service and a bonus being dog friendly only thing I'd add a bit of background music! Will definitely go back again!

If you are ever in the Welsh border town of Abergavenny and you are visiting the market, then you cannot get much better than the Grofield. The town is full of chain pubs, free houses ,cafes and independent eateries, that cater for all tastes and budgets . I chose to partake of lunch in this particular pub, which is one of Y Fenni's (the town's Welsh name) free houses. Tucked off Lewis's Lane a short stroll from the high street, this is one of Gavenny's hidden gems. The prices and food reflect a slightly more upmarket clientele, those who want to pay a little more but still want a bit of change. The Grofield is a family run pub, priding itself on freshly home cooked food. This is also slightly weird(however I wish not to be rude), it is clearly bar service, but unlike most others, you pay after consumption of your meal and beverage. Is this the norm or is it because I visited on a quiet Tuesday afternoon at around 2pm after the main lunchtime rush, that this was my assumption? Do they go to the table during the evening? On this visit I made a straight beeline for the BBQ chicken burger which was very freshly cooked with the sauce which covered the chicken being homemade on site. Very tasty. Puddings (currently) include a sticky toffee and a chocolate orange ganache. Wide range of beers including Estrella Damm, Staropramen and Madri. Also a wide selection of spirits and hot drinks. Generally an all round lovely pub and one you should look to visit when you visit one of Wales's best markets.

Definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the neighbourhood. I had my bicycle with me but was able to enter the beer garden through a side entrance/gate which makes it wheelchair friendly also; both bonus points.I had the steak sandwich; succulent streak strips, perfectly cooked with onions and mushroom between homemade ciabatta bread. Whether the ciabatta was actually homemade I do not know for sure, but it was advertised as such and tasted accordingly. I upgraded my chips to sweet potato and ordered peppercorn side too upon being asked by the waiter (Ed). Everything arrived promptly, warm and very tastefully presented; the chef definitely knows what they are doing.The bartender pours a nice pint, but forgot to bring a menu or inform Ed that I wanted one. That and the fact you must pay inside are the only 'negative' things I have to say about my experience here.Ed, you're a class waiter and I hope to have you serve me again next time I visit!Great food, great drinks, great service and a nice decor in the back beer garden with a mix of tables, lounges and benches.
