Exciting news for Abergavenny! The charming town will soon welcome a new garden centre and restaurant by Pugh’s, a beloved family-run business. Despite some objections from neighbouring residents concerned about noise and parking, the venue has secured its alcohol licence and planning permissions.
Pugh’s Garden Kitchen promises a delightful experience with a focus on food, occasional acoustic music, and events like tasting evenings. Locals are raising concerns about potential disturbances, especially those from Pegasus Court retirement flats nearby. Bob Richardson, head of the residents’ association, presented these worries to the authorities. Many fear the increase in noise from evening diners, particularly when Mill Street already hums with activity on weekends.
In response, Pugh’s has taken significant steps to address these concerns, such as reduced licensing hours and soundproofing measures. For additional reassurance, they’ll provide information about alternative parking options and public transport to visitors.
Director Nicola Pugh highlights that the centre aims to be a pleasant space for relaxation and community events, not for boisterous gatherings. With years of trusted service and commitment to quality, Pugh’s is dedicated to creating a welcoming atmosphere at their new location.
The opening is set to transform the site of the old Timothy Oulton Outlet, offering a fresh destination for garden enthusiasts and food lovers alike. As the launch approaches, let’s hope for a harmonious balance between the vibrant new hub and its concerned neighbours. Are you looking forward to a fresh spot to relax and enjoy in Monmouthshire?
