Monmouthshire’s first stand alone McDonald’s has opened in Abergavenny.
Built on a site at Westgate, just off Merthyr Road, at Llanfoist, adjacent to the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road, which was sold by Pontypool-based Johnsey Estates, the ultra-modern restaurant is equipped with touch screen ordering terminal and tablets and offers table service.
The restaurant, which is creating 73 new jobs, is adjacent to a site also sold by Johnsey Estates where a Costa Coffee Drive Thru, a 61-bedroom Premier Inn and Brewer’s Fayre restaurant are to be built creating 68 new jobs.
Ollie Barnes, aged 18, of Chepstow who dined at the McDonald’s, said: “It’s modern, the technology is the very latest. It’s really well positioned on the Heads of the Valleys Road and has a great location overlooking the Blorenge. The food’s good too!”
