Our Story
Welcome to the Nags Head Inn Usk, where our family's history intertwines with the heart of Usk. We're delighted to share our story with you, as it's the foundation of everything we do. Join us as we celebrate tradition, community, and delicious food.
Rooted in Usk
The origins of the pub date back to the 15th century when Twyn Square was the town's bustling market place. Known as the 'Pen Cefyl' (Welsh for Horses Head), it was later a coaching inn providing food and accommodation for travellers, as well as a place for local people to enjoy a jug of ale.
A Family Tradition
In the 1960s, the pub was bought by the Key Family and has been under their ownership and management for 59 years. Now in their third generation, you will always be greeted by a member of the Key family on arrival. Under the care of the Keys, the Nags Head has gained a successful reputation as a pub and restaurant offering a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, great service and excellent food and drink to match.
