We visited on the 11th and just had coffee. However, you can't call it "just" coffee because it was excellent. The coffee was superb, and the service was better. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

We love visiting the dug outbar for top quality coffee & delicious treats. (Ice slices in particular). Our dog loves popping over and having a treat off the bar. Great service with a smile! We have attended multiple events and loved the variety of drinks/cocktails and hot drinks being served.

Great café bar in the heart of Abergavenny. Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly. Good range of drinks including their own brewed beer, Duggans.

The Dugout has a great feel about it and definitely the best outdoor space I’ve found so far in Abergavenny. The staff are great and always welcoming creating a great experience from start to finish. Only had coffee and cakes so far but 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me so far.
