Food and drink
This region is known for producing and serving great food. The high quality farm produce, artisan producers, and drinks from local vineyards and orchards attract some great chefs. You'll find plenty of good places to eat along the entire canal,so you can moor up and be at your table within a few paces. If you'd prefer a night in, there are takeaways just a short walk from the canal in Brecon, and you'll be tempted to cook for yourself once you visit the local markets and independent shops.
Eating Out
The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is blessed with wonderful villages and towns along its entire route which have fantastic pubs either alongside the canal or just a short walk away. If you’re looking for something extra special then there are some splendid places that are worth a taxi ride. Here are some of our favourite places to eat out, and we'll happily recommend a local taxi service to take you there and back.The Angel Hotel, Abergavenny - particularly good for afternoon tea
The Bell at Skenfrith, Skenfrith - with food from its organic kitchen garden
The Hardwick, Abergavenny - owned by Stephen Terry, of Great British Menu fame
