Underwhelming

I was quite disappointed with the food here, it all looked incredible but wasn't the best I've ever had. The carbonara was very rich and sickly by the end of it and the tofu was very plain. The wrap was nice. I would visit here again as the location was really nice and staff were friendly however I would definitely try something different from the menu.

Pros: Nice location, Friendly staff, Good portions

Cons: Okay food

Mixed grill was excellent

Huge, couldnt finish it between 2. Juicy marbles especially good. Carnivorous children said the ribs were exquisite. Mac and cheese topped with b*con and ch*cken also great

Pros: Choice of 3 st*aks, Mac and cheese with choice of 3 toppings, Great fast friendly service

Amazing fully vegan pub food and a lovely setting! This was our second visit and it was so worth it. We both had the chickn and ribs with a side of onion rings and caramel cheesecake for dessert. Can't wait to visit again.

A Vegan Culinary experience!

So easy to book either on their new website, phone, WhatsApp but we use Facebook messenger! New menu has hit, we had the Crispy Chilli B**f to start and the flavours and the texture is immense! Gill had S*lmon which omg was amazing again the texture and flavours are superb! I had the R*bs and Ch*cken combo, the bbq r*bs are the best if ever eaten! For dessert we shared the Biscotti cheesecake and a takeaway Jaffa Cake Cake, the service is excellent with just enough time between courses! Excellent value for money! Cannot wait to go again!

Fantastic food

This place definitely lives up to the hype. We had the chicken and ribs, fish and chips and a few of the small plates. All were amazing, one of the best vegan restaurants we've visited. Definitely visit if you're in the area.

Well, This Place Lives Up To The Hype!

Well, blimey, there is a lot of hype surrounding this place and I actually went in expecting that it couldn't live up to it (and that they don't totally do the sort of food I like), I was worried they relied too heavily on bought in vegan meats, I was totally wrong on all accounts.

Believe the hype.

All of the food was cooked to an exceptionally high quality. I'm often wary of ordering Asian dishes from British run places as they often disappoint. They really did not here. The main events of each dish were perfect and don't need much talking about. It's the details that matter.... dishes that were meant to be sticky and crispy (the crispy chilli beef) are quite a test even for many chinese restaurants and I've been disappointed by quite a few, this crispy chilli beef was just perfect. All vegetables in all the dishes were cooked to perfection.

The reliance on bought in mock meat isn't a problem as they know exactly how to play to each products strengths.

Pros: Great ambience and space, Amazing food, Friendly staff

Cons: Do book a table if you want to eat here

Really worth a visit

Great selection of vegan food and drink with an emphasis on really good faux meat dishes. Portions are good. All vegan beers and good selection of non alcoholic beer. Pub has a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are lovely and very helpful. It is very dog friendly.

Pros: Great ribs, Good selection of non alcoholic beers, Everything is vegan!

Wonderful place

What an incredible find, the menu is amazing and it was hard to choose. However, you can hardly make a wrong choice, everything we had was delicious. One highlight were definitely the BBQ ribs - we had them as a starter and could not resist to get another plate as a dessert instead of a cake😁(which I’m sure would have also been fantastic). We will definitely be back if we’re in the area.

Lovely vegan pub

We visited in February and loved the food! Lots of choices and decent portions. The place is dog friendly, with meal choices for the four legged ones too! 😍 Our doggo loved her two course meal too. 😁 We'll definitely visit again. Can't wait to try the new menu!
Edit: New pics added since we visited several times. 😍😋

Great vegan pub

I can't rate The Queen Inn highly enough! The staff are so friendly and clearly really exited about about what they are producing. As vegans it's great to be able to choose from an entire menu, with options for those who like meat alternatives and those who do not. We had chilli beef ( on the waitresses recomendation) and it was amazing. We then had hunters chicken and juicy marbles fillet, both were outstanding.
We had such a lovely meal that we went back for lunch the next day, we had a chicken burger and fish and chips, again both were great.
We can't wait to visit again.

Pros: Full vegan menu, Great staff, Great value

Humongous Portions!

Visited not once but THREE times over a stay in Cwmbran. Firstly excellent menu choice - but it is heavily centred around fake-meats which I am not always a massive fan of. Had a nice burger with mac & cheese (which was a little on the dry side), a mixed grill (which we shared) and some sides (definitely recommend the cauliflower wings and crab cakes!). The portions are absolutely huge (which did make me think about the potential of food wastage) but you can ask for takeaway box. Finally had a Sunday roast which was great aside from the plain boiled potatoes which weren't needed. Even included a vegan yorkshire pudding - my first time having one not home-made! Service was brilliant, and even though I personally thought some items may need some minor refinement, it is amazing to see a fully vegan classic pub.

Do note they have one or two beers which aren't vegan (I think Carling?) which I was surprised about.

Must Visit!

Visited twice in our 4 night trip to the area. Food was awesome and I would highly recommend. Over 2 visits we tried crispy beef, Mac n cheese, lamb skewers & battered tofu (starters)chicken & ribs combo, Queen Inn burger, beef lasagne & lamb kebab topped fries (mains). Portions were generous (the kebab fries defeated my mother half)

Cerys our waitress was super friendly and helpful and made a fuss of our dog who was very welcomed with doggy bickies and blankets. There are even doggy items on the menu.

Run, don't walk to Queen Inn

Pros: Very dog friendly , Amazing staff, Great menu selection

Fantastic food!

We really enjoyed our visit to The Queen Inn. The staff were all very friendly, the service was great. The menu is extensive, and heavy on faux-meats, which we're in to, so that was great for us! We both tried the 'R*bs & ch*cken combo' which has some BBQ 'ribs and some garlic & herb 'chicken' breast, with corn-on-the-cob, chips and salad. We also ordered a mac 'n' cheese side, and the Korean BBQ cauliflower wings side. Everything was delicious! The portions are large. I had a slice of the caramel cheesecake to take-away and that was great too.

Pros: 100% vegan, Friendly service, Amazing faux meats

Amazing food and friendly staff

We ate at The Queen Inn twice during our stay in the area. The food is incredible! Generous portion sizes and good value. The staff are friendly and very accommodating - on one of our visits we had our dog with us. We let the staff know in advance that he is nervous of people and other dogs and they made sure we were sat in a quieter area which relieved any stress we had of taking him with us. He enjoyed the doggy sausages!

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Dog friendly

Great to see this totally vegan pub/restaurant doing well.

Had a great meal and even better pudding.

Our non vegan companion had a great meal too.

Great choice, huge portions

I loved that the whole menu is vegan but it's just a standard no frills pub. The portions are massive and very tasty. We foolishly went for 5 sides to try as much as possible but there were basically full meal portions! BBQ ribs were a highlight and the crispy chilli beef almost took convincing!
