What a find! Superb lunch in a lovely, river and woodland view setting. Al fresco with the accompaniment of a varied chorus of birdsong. I've never come across chicken, bacon and mushroom madras before. Gorgeous. The poppadoms were the lightest and crispiest I've ever had. Fish and chips looked fine, with the crisp batter a rich golden colour. Scampi was similarly rich looking and plump. The homemade tartare sauce was remarked upon as being really very good. Service was swift. The salted caramel ice cream cheesecake was a new and enjoyable experience, even though I'm not big cheesecake fan. Portion size was good in all instances. Menu had both standard fare and intriguing dishes worthy of further exploration. Pricing was good for the quality of the food. The only disappointment was that we didn't get a sight of the neighbouring nuthatch. Maybe next time.

What a sweet little place with lots of outdoor seating. It's a hidden gem that is pretty well sign posted down a side street. There's a village convenience shop with a post office. Walk through there to get to the cafe where there's indoor seating and a ramp to the outdoor seating area, some under cover. Meals were freshly prepared. We had bacon rolls with cappuccinos. Nice. Two lovely ladies running the cafe, customer oriented. Will have to go again and try some other items on the menu.

Delightful little cafe. Good for a cycle/walk/run stop. Tucked behind the shop. Food was good value and can highly recommend the Welsh Rarebit. Will return!

Found this hidden gem when looking for somewhere for full English breakfast, and they did not dissappoint! Probably one of the best hearty full English we have had in a long while; bacon was large and thick cut, mushrooms were soft and juicy, and they included a great slice of black pudding. As for the service, the staff were lovely and friendly, and we weren't left waiting for any long period of time; I believe it was the owner who also checked in on us when we were eating and when paying to check everything was to our liking. The only minor downside was the egg not being runny, but with everything else being delicious, and the service being great, then it is still a 5 star worthy cafe in our eyes. We have every intention to return when we next visit the area. Thank you.

Moored our canal boat 2 minutes away and stopped for breakfast. Every member of staff here are happy, helpful and friendly. The outdoor marquee has heating, books and plenty of space. The full breakfast, muffins and drinks were delicious and our 12 year old commented it was the best breakfast ever! There was even a sausage for Rosie dog. Perfect spot to see the Usk and uneven footpaths can take the very able down to the riverside. We took photos from the bridge. We will definitely come back. Thank you all for such a welcome.

This is a cracking place per sec, but noted as a super bike stop. It’s not far from the beautiful river bridge in the lower part of the village. There is seating at the rear of the cafe and some more at the front. You can keep your eye on your bikes at either location. Super coffee, and super sticky cakes too. There is also a shop there if you’re a multi day bike tourer.

Best bacon sandwich anywhere, ever Chunky, fresh, granary bread with delicious local bacon. Fab, local food in a lovely setting

The CRT staff at the locks told us about this place. We had cycled from Brecon and were looking for somewhere to eat. The food was very good and the service friendly and quick. We sat outside with an amazing view over the Usk to the hills beyond.
