Great place for a Sunday roast!This place has closed since this review, it'll probably open again soon, it's a great location and a nice building.

We booked the Chainbridge for our wedding breakfast as we were having a small ceremony for family and close friends in Usk and wanted somewhere that served good food, close by with capacity for us. Corinn and the team were fantastic. We spent about a month organising over email and popped in a few times - everyone was very accommodating. As we'd not planned anything like this before, Corinn and Aimee used their experience and helped us with small bits we'd missed in our initial plan. What we got on the day was amazing. Everyone said how wonderful the food was (we opted for a carvery and then sticky toffee pudding/crumble and hired out the Mr Whippy machine as well) - a lot of our guests are planning on returning for a Sunday roast. We had a small group of 2-5-year-olds - a small area had been put aside for the crafting items I supplied so the children could have fun and not get too bored. We had exclusive hire of the pub and the few people who did wander in were politely informed of this by the team. All in all, the day went off without a hitch, the experience was absolutely lovely and the team cannot be recommended enough - they did everything in their power to make our day absolutely perfect.

Lovely pub right by the river. Stopped by for a drink . Although didn't open till 4:00 the landlady kindly served us a drink anyway. Manu looked good and would certainly stop there again.

We had Sunday lunch. The price, in comparison to other local pubs, was on par. They were relatively busy so the service reflected that, but the table service was adequate, No ones fault - it is what it is. Once ordered the food came out in a reasonable time.I'm a pretty picky individual when it comes to my Sunday lunches so maybe I expect too much but the food was again on par with most other local establishments.The pub is located in a lovely spot on the river Usk, with gorgeous views. Definitely worth a visit for sure...

We dined as part of a large party … stayed in two rooms . Food was superb, freshly cooked and delicious. Rooms were clean and tidy perfect get away. The breakfast on the Sunday morning was delicious Perfect for a family birthday party, Also fantastic when we ve dined as a table of two 100 percent recommend

Booked last minute for a one night break really wished we had not. Turned up at 4pm on Sunday Internet and notice boards in hotel said serving food until 5pm. Told kitchen closed no reason and not caring that we were staying there. Asked where could we get something to eat locally. Told initially don't know by someone who said they did not normally work there ask someone else. Went to room had only been partly serviced. Empty biscuit wrapper on shelf half empty shower soap in shower. Only one large towel for 2 of us! Advised it would be sorted went for a walk when we came back although they knew who we were not advised that room was ready. Asked for 2 coffees they never arrived. We were told as it was quiet pub would shut at 9ish when arrived went out to find food at 6 to be told pub including bar would close at 6.30pm we would have to let ourselves in. Then told only serve breakfast Thursday to Sunday. Yet they take people to stay. Interesting when we left this morning handed in key 4 people stood about not doing much not a did you enjoy your stay or anything. Went for a little walk round to river right by pub. On rear window it says food rating 2 never seen such a low score anywhere. It may be cheap but pay a bit extra and find somewhere else. Such a shame as the location is amazing.

We had a very tasty family Sunday lunch here. We all enjoyed it and although the desserts looked gorgeous we were all too full. Great Yorkshire pudding! Lovely riverside location.
Unfortunately had to wait ages for our food because of staff shortages, but not impressed when it did arrive. Would not recommend.

Had a nice Sunday lunch, Roast Pork and Roast Beef. Good sized portions. Service was good and a nice view of the river. Local beer was tasty and our dog was made very welcome.

Lovely location, nice staff but the second time I have eaten there and the food was inedible. The place looks grotty like they are trying to back on costs. I had to get my daughter a microwave meal on the way home. I would never eat there again. We spent £45 on food we couldn't eat. They gave us a free apple and orange juice, but as the food was no good it was most expensive juice I have ever had!

We all talked about the “new normal” after Covid but in my opinion, the new normal never arrived, just lack lustre food and poor service NOT THIS PLACE THOUGH! We’ve just had a fantastic spur of the moment Sunday lunch here. Great food and great service. Highly recommended if you’re a meat eater. I’ve not rated the rooms as we didn’t stay.Food & drinks: As per the review, food excellent and large variety of drinks available. Very reasonable prices too.

A great find! Impressive food and location. We had selected the Gastropub after a passing discovery. We booked for Sunday lunch and were welcomed by friendly staff on a beautiful late summer day. We were seated in the conservatory, which was lovely and warm and had a riverside view. Service was perfect, friendly and timely. The food was properly home cooked with some excellent options for both traditional Sunday lunch and alternatives. The quality of food was excellent and the portion sizes were generous. As a result, we couldn’t manage a dessert, despite temptation. Highly recommended.
