The Queens Head, Chepstow

It's just been named as the Gwent CAMRA Pub of the Year. I can see why. My first time in here and I felt at home immediately, chatting easily with the landlord and some regulars. Great choice of cask beers. It's St David's Day and they're celebrating by giving anyone named Dave a free pint. Silly idea, but I can't see many chain pubs doing that. I don't come to Chepstow often, but I made a great choice by strolling in here.

described as a micro pub, but its more of a small traditional pub, unspoilt and very much a beer den. Small front bar leads to a similar back area. Filled with CAMRA types but the ale is great

Great little micropub with friendly service. I didn't have long as my last bus left at 5.30 so I didn't note all the beers. All I can say is that the one I had was excellent and I would like to spend a little more time in here in the future!

Really enjoyed our visit to this micropub which features in the 2019 Good Beer Guide. Staff and locals friendly, and with no TV conversation rules ok. Ales on offer were Zulu Alpha Evolution, Hopcraft Goldings Balls, Hopcraft/Waen Pamplemoose, Grey Trees Azacca APA, Evans Evans CWRW, and TWT Lol Tuti Fruiti. There was a massive blackboard on the wall with the beer list, and a brilliant map of Wales with the location of the breweries being served marked up. Great place.
