Our story
From Venue 59 to Regency 59 - a local dining landmark.
Following a recent refurbishment, Regency 59 has built on its 20-year legacy, formerly known as Venue 59, to become one of Abergavenny's standout places to eat.
For over two decades, the restaurant space inside the Kings Head Hotel has been a fixture in the town. While the layout and name have changed, approachable food and community hospitality remain at the heart of everything we do.
We are proud to be one of only two Nepalese restaurants in Abergavenny, known for combining authentic cooking with a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.
