"This was our first visit to the Monmouth Ash but will certainly not be our last. We wanted an early lunch after an appointment and thought we would give it a try. Both exterior and interior have a good ambience and we were greeted by a very pleasant young lady behind the bar. We had a pate starter to share followed by ham, eggs and chips, which is something I often use as a measure of decent pub food. We were not disappointed. The pate was tasty and the main was three thick, tasty ham slices with two eggs and very nice triple cooked chips. My wife had the piccalilli, but I gave it a miss, as I think with HE&C anything other than tomato ketchup is sacrilege! We were too full for a dessert. We were also delighted to find, when we were presented with the bill, that there is a discount of 33% on a Monday. Result!!"
