    Nice place, friendly staff but Sunday roast was mediocre. Roast pork a bit dry, over-cooked, potatoes and parsnips chewy and felt as if they'd been sat around a while. Carrots and broccoli plain boiled and while not overcooked were pretty uninspiring. Friend had scampi and chips which she enjoyed, looked pretty good. Didn't try the desserts. Wouldn't bother again.

    Convenient location in the center of Leamington Spa, close to the train station with a nice beer selection. The food was really average, nothing special. The staff was helpful, polite and cheerful. We stayed in the backyard which definitely definitely has seen better days in the past.

    This was a lovely pub for drinking, with a flashy counter that feels welcoming! The gastropub layout incorporates classic brick walls and a cosy outdoor garden with greenery, Christmas decorations are included too in winter. I enjoyed a pint of Carling at the sheltered, comfy out door seating and was served by relaxed staff!

    Food was average, even little dissopointing. Was guite crowdy, but we were served quickly and bar tender was supper friendly.

    The place gives a very traditional feel, but if you are up for dinner be prepared to shout across the table to be heard as there are many people in the evening and noise level is quite high. We were quite unlucky with some event going on at the same time and as a result the chef did not follow instructions very carefully - we got all three burgers well done instead of one. The fish and chips is delicious, though!

    We popped in for Lunch. It was very quiet but that made it nice and relaxing. The place is very nice inside with an Island bar. The drink selection looks plenty with own craft ales and high quality spirits. The food was very nice and well worth the money. Credits to the Chef. The toilets are very clean and the staff are all very nice and friendly. I would absolutely recommend eating here as well as popping in with mates for a few drinks. A credit to the Leamington Hospitality scene.

    A real pub with real people. Well worth a visit. Once you're there you'll stay longer than intended. And that's a good thing in this mad, hectic world.

    Really nice spot. Had the Sunday Roast with beef, good meal, and portion size. Service was very timely and servers were very nice.

    What a lovely pub, probably the best one in Leamington. Our dog likes it, she doesn't drink alcohol (which is good) but the staff always bring her a bowl of water. Food is always great and the atmosphere is always very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend if wanting a drinky and food when in the spa of Leamington

    I have booked the upstairs for my birthday celebration, even though our group was very loud and had far too many drinks the staff went above and beyond to provide the best customer service and made us feel very welcome. Food was really tasty and without a delay, everyone had the best time and I had a lovely birthday! Thank you sooo much, will recommend to everyone for venue hire!

    Nice Bar staff, good choice of drinks, good food in a nice friendly relaxed setting. Will definitely return on our next visit to Leamington Spa. Thanks!!

    My first UK Pub, what a treat. A few NA beers along with plenty of local and National beers available

  • 5/5 josh e. 10 months ago on Google
    Stopped here half way through our journey. Glad we did! Polite and lovely staff, food was great and most important looked after our doggo with water and treats. Thanks for the hospitality

  • 5/5 Beatrice K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pub with lovey food. Went to go watch the Six Nations matches so it was obviously more packed than a normal Saturday, which did slow down service. They were very happy to accommodate us booking a table in order to watch both matches. The service was good during the first match but we did have to go up to the bar to order. By the second match we couldn't make it to the bar to get another drink, but that was because it was very busy. I'd be more than happy to come back again on a day without a match.

    Food was plentiful and very tasty. I would have given 5 stars if the food had have all arrived at the table hot and if all food on the menu was available. The beef Sunday roast and bread and butter pudding for desert was lovely. There was a problem with one of the deserts which was soon rectified and discounted from the bill. The pub is dog friendly. Pleasant place to spend Sunday lunch with the family. I would recommend a visit 😊

    This is one of our place to go, they have great burgers and we also love the Mac’s cheese there. They are dog friendly so we always bring with us our pooch Baloo. We also had Baloo’s birthday there. The atmosphere is nice and the people who work there are friendly. I would recommend this place. To eat or just to have a drink either way is a nice place to be and also very close to Jepson’s Garden.

  • 5/5 David T. 9 months ago on Google
    Really helpful staff, lovely service, great food and menu. The 2 burgers for £20 on Wednesdays was great value and I highly recommend. Dad enjoyed the chicken wings, which were the best he's had for ages.

  • 4/5 JP B. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve had plenty a good time here, whether it be a pie and pint, or a quick beer after a morning of shopping. My favourite item on the menu must be the burnt ends.

  • 5/5 Leamprov 1 year ago on Google
    We had our Christmas meal in their private dinning area upstairs. Great space to hold 25 people and quick service with all our food. We will be back!

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 1 year ago on Google
    I really loved this pub, The customer service is excellent, really friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the pub during the day was really lively and a nice place to be. The food was excellent I feel the menu undersells how good it is going to be and a good price. Fully recommend.

  • 5/5 Aneil S. 1 year ago on Google
    The breakfast is great. Served hot and in a cast iron pan. What really stands out in this pub is the staff. They are thoughtful and attentive in a relaxed and genuine way.

  • 4/5 Anthony D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great choice of drinks. The food is simple they but they have good crowd pleasing options. The weekday deals are fantastic value. Very good service normally and obviously dog friendly.

  • 5/5 Jane B. 1 year ago on Google
    We were warmly welcomed the moment we walked in the door. The staff continued to be extremely attentive without being intrusive. There were so many veggie options, which was a very pleasant surprise, it was really hard to decide what to order. The food was superb. If the garlic cheese bread is anything to go by the pizzas must be amazing. But we didnt try them at this visit but will be returning soon to give them ago. We can thoroughly recommend the veggie roast. The nut roast was full of flavour and came with all the trimmings which were of a really good quality. The plant based burger was also really flavour some which is often unusual for veggie options. The burger roll was really delicious too. The one disappointment was feeling so full we could not try any of the desserts. We will be back.

    A cute pub with a really nice outdoor seating area! Staff were quick to take orders and suggest favourites from the menu; and there were loads of vegan and veggie options too. Dogs are welcomed (and loved by everyone there!) And its a really nice atmosphere:) Drinks can be a bit pricey but it's understandable.

    Celebrated my birthday here & we were looked after from the moment we arrived. They gave me a gorgeous bunch of flowers, kept the drinks flowing & the food was yummy. We had the private dining room upstairs & Dave was AMAZING! He looked after us all afternoon. Thank you to all the staff for making my birthday special. Definately reccomend 😁

  • 5/5 Rebecca 2 years ago on Google
    We popped in here as we had the dog and needed somewhere dog friendly. This place is amazing! The food was absolutely to die for and they found us a table on a very busy Sunday afternoon. All round great visit!

  • 5/5 Tanya E. 2 years ago on Google
    *DOG FRIENDLY* Brilliant lunch, great cocktails and selection of beers on tap.

  • 5/5 Angelina H. 2 years ago on Google
    Dog friendly pub and restaurant, good food, good drink with reasonable price. The staff are also friendly

  • 4/5 paul b. 2 years ago on Google
    Ticks a lot of boxes Good beer, food looks excellent and ambient music. Located slightly away from the main drag, but don't let that put you off

  • 5/5 Anastasia B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best pubs in Leamington (but I might be biased) for a friendly get together. The pizza is nice, and they have a beer garden. Not sure if they still do quiz night, but I would really recommend it!

  • 5/5 Mark B. 1 year ago on Google
    At short notice they were able to get us a table for 2. Great service from the guy at the bar who served our drinks. Then from ordering food to getting our food everything was great. I had a roast beef with some pugs in blankets and my partner had the vegetarian roast which she enjoyed. A great visit. Thank you for great service and great food. It's lacking in a lot of places nowadays so keep up the good work.
