It was a great summer for The Black Bear Inn near Usk as they were ranked #5 in the UK (and best in Wales) in The Good Food Guide's annual rankings of the Best Local Restaurants.

The Good Food Guide commends the Black Bear's weekly changing menu, extensive range of snacks and desserts which 'bring the house down' in "a seductive corner of Monmouthshire".

Congratulations to Josh and the whole team at this fantastic restaurant!

We always feel the Black Bear comes into its own during the cosier autumn months, so it's the perfect time to visit.
