"Knowing that my family and I would be in Abergavenny around lunchtime prior to a walk up Sugar Loaf, I took the rare step of being prepared by looking up a tea shop that served cream teas with clotted cream (any civilised person would of course faint into their jam at the sight of whipped! and didn't close at 2pm (as if everyone's appetite sticks to a schedule . Meeting those requirements alone would have been enough to get a good review, but I was genuinely delighted by The Little Treat. From the moment we walked in, our every need was met. We thought we'd have trouble finding a table as the only one remaining was for 2 people (there were 4 of us , but the lovely gentleman behind the counter asked if we'd like that table and then immediately brought 2 extra chairs over and ensured that we were comfortably sat with menus ordering was prompt and correct. His colleague delivered our food and, when it became clear that there would be a slight delay in my daughter's order, brought over complimentary drinks. The food was excellent neither pretentious nor poor quality. Both our hosts were unfailingly polite, but sincerely so, and genuinely warm. The service alone was worthy of note if all catering establishments were like this then the world would be a happier place but the food left us all satisfied as well. I really look forward to next time we're in Abergavenny so we can visit again."

"Urgh, it’s a shame. You know when you go out and you think to yourself “I could have eaten way better food at home for a fraction of the price”? Then add in the total lack of any willing service and realise that’s why you never come to places like this. Food Ok, we were the first table of the day so the kitchen took a while to ‘get going’, but undercooked chips (yes edible but you know that firm ‘starchy’ texture when chips haven’t been cooked properly? That. All four plates of chips had that texture). We all had burgers and they were absolutely fine. Nothing really wrong there. Anyway, I’m all for supporting local business and we’d waited a while so didn’t want to send it all back..yep, very British of us. Service What? None really. The lady who greeted us gave off that air of not really giving a sh*t. She took our order, poured our drinks and brought our food. Offered us any sauces? Nope. Check that we liked our meal? Nope. Show any personality whatsoever? Nope…unless her personality is always ‘cold shoulder’ and ‘teen attitude’ (she was not a teen). There’s lots of good reviews of this place so I’ll have to assume she was having a bad day and the kitchen perhaps hadn’t warmed up yet. But it was such a ‘meh’ and disappointing way to spend our lunch time I don’t think we’ll bother returning. Sorry Pandy Inn..:we wanted to like it."
