The Queen Inn - Torfaen

Fantastic Vegan pub, with wonderful staff and such a welcoming atmosphere! I took my large dog with me and he was provided with a blanket to sit on the chairs, and then able to sit to the table with us. He had a bowl of sausages and a drink of water whilst we had a delicious Vegan Sunday roast, after a lovely starter. Locals are really friendly totally unpretentious and like a regular old fashioned pub, but with lovely vegan food on offer. **** brilliant. Will come again for sure.

Am overjoyed to have found this gem. The Queen Inn surpassed every hope that I had for a vegan restaurant. Visited at lunchtime with my husband and our very large Irish Wolfhound. We were welcomed so warmly by staff and patrons alike. I had forewarned them that our dog was large and they had thankfully put us at a table with lots of room for the dog to lie down. We ordered the mixed grill share platter and sausages for the dog.... I almost feel that I can't do the venue justice with my review. It was AMAZING! The whole meal was exceptionally outstanding. I have been vegetarian for over 30 years and I can honestly say that this restaurant left me feeling elated, giggly, amazed and of course very full. The fake meats were chewy, sinuey and gloriously tasty. The black pudding... OMG was so good. My husband is a meat eater and was amazed. We are already looking at our calendar to rebook when we are in town next.

First time at The Queen Inn. Won't be the last. Weather was not good but the setting was still lovely. Staff helpful and friendly. Food was brilliant no complaints at all. There was 12 of us and everyone really enjoyed their food. Not a vegan or even vegetarian. Loved it!

Imagine a friendly, cosy Welsh pub, staffed by happy, engaged, attentive staff and serving the tastiest, most excellent typical pub fare alongside a thoughtful wide ranging drinks choice. This is The Queen. As a 40 year in veggie, I've never experienced this concept and I'm so impressed. If you're not a veggie don't worry, you won't even notice the meat is missing. The Queen is now my go to when I'm here visiting family. Best. Place. Ever!

We were up from Cornwall for a weekend in Wales and on the way home we had a birthday lunch to have, and what better choice than searching out the Queen Inn. It had to be done, what with all the great reviews. The staff were so friendly, as were the locals, and the only difficulty was trying to choose what to have out of the vast vegan menu. Phil celebrated with a Scally Wag ale, recommended by the barman (which he loved), whilst we chose. Phil went for the Chilli Beef stir fry with a side of spring rolls and I went for the Hunters Chicken (a chicken piece wrapped in bacon and cheese with bbq sauce). How decadent! We can see how this place requires booking to guarantee a table during the weekends. When we are back in the area, we will definitely visit again (and maybe starve ourselves for a couple of days beforehand so we can fit in pudding too).
