Emmeline's Homebaking - Monmouthshire

Wanted to find somewhere to eat that wasn’t a chain and was away from the main street. We followed the COVID instructions inside and stood by the counter having picked a table and waited, and waited. Then two more customers came in and went straight to a table inside and were served. We’re still waiting. Eventually our order was taken, and about 15 minutes later we got our drinks. Then about 10 minutes after that we got our toasties, which were really good. Such a pity. Small independents are very important, but this one needs to sharpen up its act

What a find! Just of the shopping streets we had a fabulous tea and coffee and the best ham and mustard sandwich we have had for a long time. Fantastic value, we paid twice the price in the Brecon Becons for the same but poorer quality..We didn't indulge but the homemade cakes looked great.The service was fast and very fiendly.If you are in Abergavenny and fancy a cuppa this is the place to go.

We enjoyed lunch with another family, seated at separate tables for social distancing measures. The restaurant had all Covid precautions in place and politely took our contact details. The menu was diverse and we found the soup of the day to be delicious. The sandwiches were fresh, filling, and the bread was delightful. The variety of cakes made it difficult to choose just one. The tea room had a warm and welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff. We appreciated the large teapot for three, the option to top up with hot water, and the matching crockery. Overall, a wonderful tea room experience.

Called in for lunch on a busy Saturday. It was pretty full and food is prepared to order so it doesn’t appear in 2 minutes but that’s not a negative, service is perfectly good. We both had toasted sandwiches (tuna, cheese, red onion Brie, cranberry) and they were packed with filling and very tasty. It’s a lovely cafe off the main shopping streets and well worth a visit.

The entrance to this restaurant has a steep access ramp that may be difficult for wheelchair users. The food here is carefully prepared and not fast food, so expect a reasonable wait for your order. The menu is limited but offers a good variety. The selection of cakes is unique and all are made fresh by hand.
