Formerly Venue 59
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.
What you'll find on our menu
Pub favourites by day, Nepalese and Indian dishes by evening.
By Evening: Indian & Nepalese
The menu shifts to regional Nepalese and Indian cuisine, cooked fresh every evening.
- Chicken Tikka Masala
- Railway Lamb
- Momos
- Saffron Salmon Chicken from Chennai to Cardiff
All meals are cooked from scratch using fresh Welsh meat, locally sourced vegetables, and in-house ground spices. There are no artificial colours, preservatives, or added sugars.
