Clarkes Restaurant in Usk offers customers a truly wonderful dining experience, combining as it does the luxurious environment of this beautiful Victorian villa with dishes produced from the finest, freshest and, wherever possible, locally-sourced ingredients.

In this respect the restaurant is spoilt for choice, as Monmouthshire and its surrounding counties can boast a plethora of local suppliers providing all manner of delicious foods from unique cheeses and wines, famous Welsh beef and lamb, to fresh fish and seafood.  Dinner is served between 6.30pm and 8.30pm.

Situated just a five-minute stroll from the small picturesque town of Usk, is the Glen-Yr-Afon House Hotel, the home of Clarkes restaurant which continues to go from strength to strength since its debut in 2007 under the watchful eye of head chef Julie Carey. 

A vast selection of starters, mains and vegetarian dishes are always offered (not to mention the delightful selection of mouth-watering desserts)!  The children’s menu ensures that every appetite and palate is well looked after.

“We make good, honest food here at Clarkes, using the finest local ingredients sourced from in and around the great county of Monmouthshire and its borders,” 

Special dietary needs can all be catered for - just mention your requirements on booking.

The service too is faultless and just what you want; friendly without being intrusive, courteous and discreet. Nothing is too much trouble and the waiting staff manage to create just the right ambience so that it’s impossible not to relax, savour your meal and really enjoy yourself.

There is ample free parking within the hotel’s three acres of picturesque grounds which, on a nice afternoon, also provide the perfect setting for a post-lunch leisurely stroll, or you can retire to one of the comfortable bar areas to relax.

So whatever the occasion – a romantic meal for two, a family celebration, a business lunch or dinner or just to spoil yourself once in a while, Clakes offers a wonderfully elegant and yet comfortable and relaxed setting for an unforgettable fine dining experience.  We also accommodate small wedding celebrations in the Restaurant and Dining Room.
