The ClythaArms

A converted eighteenth-century dower house on the road between Abergavenny and Raglan, run as a freehouse for more than three decades by the Canning family. The pub keeps table skittles and a boules pitch in the garden, pours a rotating range of cask ales, and serves a menu that runs from bar snacks to a full restaurant offering built around Welsh ingredients and Basque-inspired dishes.
