Chepstow Italian restaurant to open new Abergavenny branch

Panevino, located on the banks of the River Wye at the bottom of Chepstow, has been a favourite with foodies for some time.

The Grade II-listed building which houses Panevino is known locally as the Afon Gwy, and the pub which previously occupied the site shared that same name.

It was built in 1735.

The menu boasts an array of Italian favourites, all cooked using locally sourced ingredients.
