In Monmouthshire we are proud to have amazing rural communities throughout the county to celebrate alongside our stunning landscapes and traditional market towns.
A wonderful example of this was recognised when The Halfway at Tal-y-Coed, a 17th century coaching inn, won the Local Community Award at the annual Wales Food and Drink Awards. The award is for Welsh businesses that have made a real difference to their local community, and anyone who has visited the Halfway will know how well earned the award is.
They are passionate about supporting their local rural community and so set up a community hub and village shop. It’s a place that sells local produce, hosts workshops and activities to bring people together, and has a great programme of events from pub quizzes and live music to pop up kitchens and more.
🍺Open: Friday 4:00 – 11:00pm, Saturday 6.00 – 11:00pm, Sunday 12:00 – 10:00pm
The Halfway is nestled 'halfway' along the old road between the historic market towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth. If you plan to visit this authentic rural Monmouthshire pub, why not combine your trip with a visit to the nearby White Castle, a walk along the Offa’s D**e Path, or the popular Three Castles Walk?

• Small Drinks Producer – Tumptonics (Highly Commended) Tumptonics
• Artisan Business of the Year (Shortlisted) – The Crafty Pickle Co. (Live Fermented Foods) Crafty Pickle Co. Fermented Foods
