Popped into Marches today on a trip across to Monmouth looking for some local cheese. Delighted to discover a cafe at the rear where we were able to have some lunch before making our purchases. I had a lovely cheese board, with three different cheeses and my husband had a large bowl of delicious soup served with bread, cheese and chutney. We were then helped to make our selection of cheeses by a really helpful and knowledgeable guy who we assumed was the proprietor, and came away with some great cheese. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area and we will be back!
2. Bees For Development

5.0 based on 3 reviews
Known locally as The Bee Shop, visitors step in to the delicious aroma of beeswax and honey, and explore the natural products made by harnessing the power of bees. This shop is perfect for everyone who loves bees or is seeking gifts for someone who does, and for beekeepers too. Here you will find soaps and skin care, honey beers, Welsh mead and of course our diverse range of honey from local and afar. From hives set amongst our gorgeous Welsh valleys and delicate wildflower meadows to log hives carried deep into the remote forests of Africa, where they are skillfully hand lifted and tied high up into the trees, we are exceptionally proud of our growing collection - and we invite more beekeepers to sell their honey with us. Your local Thorne's stockist - we can order anything from the catalogue for you.

I visited Bees for development as needed some beeswax polish but ended up learning so much more. Such a well stocked shop with everything Bees from hives to honey, jewellery and ceramics - wonderful! Well worth a visit if in Monmouth. Shall definitely return for Christmas gifts!

I have been to Creates a number of times and even if you cannot afford to indulge, the art on show is always enjoyable. Now there is an additional space, just down the road at 7 Church Street which, as well as providing overspill exhibition space, is also the most pleasant cafe to open in Monmouth for a while. The plain decor makes the space seem roomy and light, as well as acting to showcase the work exhibited (and i did wish I had a few hundred pounds available to purchase some lovely paintings!). There is a good selection of mains, usual cafe fayre such as soup, eggs on toast, and fillings served either as an open sandwich, on a jacket or as a salad. This is a very vegetarian/vegan friendly place. I chose a hummus and falafel baked potato, which was delicious. The cakes looked amazing, and this is certainly a place I would visit again.

I discovered this shop on 8th September as I was exploring Church Street for the first time, I bought Ice Bear and The Snow Leopard for my Granddaughter. She loved them so much that I returned ten days later and bought two more by the same author. The shop is delightful, appealing window displays and beautifully arranged inside with clearly marked sections. The same charming lady served me both times.
