The pub has a long history dating to the 14th century. The pub was originally called the Apsis, later the Bull and then the Abergavenny Arms when owned, until 1933, by Lord Abergavenny whose estate is opposite the hotel. At one stage the area that is now the lounge bar was used as the local court and the jail was situated in the cellar below. There is reputed to be the ghost of a coachman who died while staying at the inn in 1770. The law required an inquest to be held and the house be closed until this happened. The landlord took matters into his own hands, threw the body out of the window into the street reporting a case of suicide and kept the beer flowing! The Abergavenny has two bars, a non-smoking restaurant and an attractive beer garden. Meals are served lunch and evening every day of the week. |
