Abergavenny Food Festival Stopover: Stay at The Halfway Pub

Hello, wonderful people! I’m Rhi, the landlady of The Halfway Pub, where we blend hearty Welsh hospitality with a dash of quirky charm. With the Abergavenny Food Festival just around the corner, I wanted to share why our pub is the ideal spot for you to rest, refuel, and maybe even discover a new favourite ale.

Abergavenny Food Festival: A Feast for the Senses

Let’s start with the festival itself—it’s a real treat! Each September, Abergavenny turns into a food lover’s dream. Picture yourself wandering through bustling streets, sampling everything from local cheeses to international street food. There are cooking demos, workshops, and so much more. It’s the perfect place to indulge your culinary passions and discover new flavours.

But after all that food and fun, you’ll need somewhere to relax, and that’s where The Halfway comes in.

The Halfway Pub: A Cozy Retreat with Character

Situated between Abergavenny and Monmouth, The Halfway is more than just a pub—it’s a home away from home. As a busy mum of two, juggling family life with running a pub and staying active in the community, I know how important it is to find a place where you can truly unwind.

Our pub is full of character…and local characters who frequent it too! You might spot a few upcycled treasures in our garden that add to our unique charm.

Free Camper Van Stopover for the Abergavenny Food Festival!

Now, here’s the scoop for you camper van enthusiasts or those who fancy a bit of camping: we’ve got a secluded field right behind the pub, perfect for a free overnight stopover. The only thing we ask is that you join us for dinner or drinks either before, after or in between your food festival visit. It’s our way of offering a warm welcome while keeping the community spirit alive.

Our menu is all about showcasing local, seasonal produce. Whether you’re craving a comforting Sunday roast, a juicy burger, or something veggie, we’ve got you covered. And let’s not forget our humble selection of local real ales, perfect for pairing with your meal or enjoying on their own.

Why Choose The Halfway?

You might be wondering, “Why The Halfway?” My partner asked me the same thing when I said I wanted to run it…for our family and for the good of the locals! Well, the location is just idyllic. Its a slice of welsh paradise. Aside from our delicious food and welcoming atmosphere, we’re just a stone’s throw (if you’ve got a big throw) from the festival, making it easy to pop back for more fun or explore the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside and make the most of your visit. Whether you’re here for a day or planning a longer stay, The Halfway is your perfect base.

Plus, staying with us is more than just a stopover—it’s an experience. You’ll get to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, with all the quirks and comforts of a traditional Welsh pub. It’s the best of both worlds: the festival excitement and the serenity of our little corner of Wales.
