더 벨 앳 스켄프리스

Please ignore the negative review below this one. That poster's sole contribution to Trip Advisor doesn't promise much for their future as a reviewer. The Bell at Skenfrith is a restaurant in which you will find yourself eating more and more slowly to make things last. I wanted my Perl Las soufflé to last forever. And the lamb chops we had last week were divine. Desserts are always a treat, the location on the banks of the Monnow is wonderful and the staff are excellent, every bit as welcoming if you've come in for a pint or even a glass of water(!!!), as they are for the full gastronomic experience. One of the best destination pubs you can find in the area.

Called in today for a birthday Sunday lunch. We hit the jackpot. My favourite beer - Wye Valley HPA, and a fabulous bottle of Californian Zinfandel. The charcuterie board starter was exceptional and as the last table to be seated, I was delighted to get rare roast beef. Usually by 2pm it's on the well done side. All in all a lovely meal with very good service. It may not be the cheapest around, but you get what you pay for.
