“This was such a great tour! Dan was a fantastic driver and knew a lot. I appreciated that he pointed out landmarks on the drive and how organized he was. The bus departed and arrived on schedule and everything went smoothly. I felt that two hours at Stonehenge was the perfect amount of time. I will recommend this tour to anyone I know that wants to visit Stonehenge!”

“My friends and I were frequenting the local parkrun in Cwmbran. It was a cold and damp and winter's day. On arrival we were greeted by friendly staff and a lovely natural heat from the wood burners. The atmosphere was welcoming and the coffee and pancakes which I had were both delightful. It is slightly more expensive than your usual cafe, but I'd say it was worth every penny.”

“Absolutely love this shop, it's the best, wouldn't go anywhere else. They are so friendly welcoming and always happy to help with anything. So much variety to choose from. Thank you”

“I had the most lovely afternoon tea (the special Valentine’s weekend edition) at Ashwell & Co! The space is a perfect mix of vintage eclectic and tea room, great music for ambiance, and the food was lovely! I go to many afternoon teas (it’s a bit of an obsession) so I have pretty high expectations at this point. I liked, since they only serve vegetarian sandwiches, that you get a lighter change of pace from traditional tea sandwiches, but the sweets are really the stars. The scone was so lovely, one of the better I’ve had in a while, homemade clotted cream and delicious moist cakes. To top it all off the price is incredibly reasonable for the food and service experience! Excited to come back in the future.”

“Went here in a rush before an event In the evening. Never been before, if I lived in the area I would be coming here for each cut. Good conversation, good quality cut and relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend.”

And whole new make over for the salon to make it look chic and her own. This time I had a simple wash, cut and style, and I left feeling like a new woman!

“Local favourite venue. Excellent coffee, great food, slightly expensive. We paid £25 for two flat whites, a wrap and pulled pork with chips. Biker's hang out, mostly older guys, not too noisy. Recently expanded and much bigger than was. Lots of outdoor seating when it's nice. About 20 car parking spaces. OK weekdays but likely to be full at weekends. Enjoy!”

“Nice air conditioned cafe, friendly staff, cake half price at the end of the day!”

“Had a lovely couple of Ghibli (we’re Ghibli fans) themed drinks. I had an Arrietty (reminded me of my own garden in summer and the cup and saucer it was served in gave it a dainty feel) and my partner had a No Face cocktail served in a clay pot which caused a really interesting discussion about depth of flavour / character. Service was attentive and very welcoming.”

“I went here with my partner for his birthday and honestly, it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was just spot on, stylish without being pretentious, buzzing but still intimate enough for a date night. Our host sam was great, you can tell he genuinely knows his stuff, especially when it comes to the steaks. We went for his recommendations: the padron peppers, short rib croquettes, the tomahawk steak, and for dessert, the cheesecake and chocolate delice. Every single dish was unreal. The steak especially was next level, cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. The service felt personal and relaxed, and the staff clearly take pride in what they do. They also catered to my partners food allergy and were attentive throughout. For the quality of food, the atmosphere, and the level of care, the price was completely reasonable. You can tell it’s somewhere that values both experience and craft. Thanks pasture!! X”
