Carpenters Arms - Monmouthshire

We've visited here a few times and always received a friendly, warm welcome. Today is my wife's birthday so we decided to sample the food as well as a glass of wine and a beer. We both went for the chicken and ham pie and were glad we did! Homemade and delicious. There was plenty of it and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this little gem of a pub if you enjoy good, home cooked food in a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Food was good and very reasonably priced. Service was very good and the landlord was happy to chat even though it was fairly busy. Clearly popular with locals which is always a good sign. The map location on TripAdvisor is wrong though as it is south of Trelleck not north.

There is a wide variety of options on the menu with generous portions. The service was also excellent, and the staff were very friendly. We definitely plan on returning in the future.

The welcome was excellent with all staff very pleasant. The food was homemade and plenty of it. Lovely village atmosphere, will call again Thank you

Having not long returned home from having a meal here, I feel impelled to put in writing our experience. A few days ago I called in to see about booking a table for my Birthday with my family. My son is in a wheelchair and find sometimes we can’t access some of the older pubs so thought I would check it out first. Paul, the landlord couldn’t have been more helpful, even down to measuring the table height for me to ensure we could get my son under it. He was so kind and thoughtful as well as funny. When we arrived tonight they had reserved a table, put some banners up and decorated the table. They had even raised the table slightly to make sure my son had plenty of room. The food was outstanding with plenty of choice. Normally when I order a rare steak it can be hit and miss on whether it’s rare or medium when it arrives. Tonight’s was perfect and better still the lovely waitress came and asked if the steak was cooked to how I like it. The choice of desserts was fantastic and I would highly recommend the crumble and custard. If I’d had room after such a large meal I would have tried a few other desserts too lol. We really will be going back and would HIGHLY recommend to others. Thank you to everyone there, you have made my birthday a very special one and not one I will forget.
