The 38 best bars and drinks in Rugby

Billed as the Rugby pub. This place is charming and had a huge selection of cask beers when we visited. I asked if this was normal or a festival. The barman explained that it was indeed the normal amount. Wow. The decoration on the ceiling should have tipped me off with hundreds of pump clips from breweries all over attached. The vibe was excellent, the rugby was indeed on, but the clientele was a mix of rugby fans and locals. Plenty of seating. Quick friendly service and very near the town centre. With the variety of cask on offer it's a no brainer

Really good real ale pub , with a really good selection of beers when we were there The bar man even offered us one straight from the cask as it hadn’t been out yet Definitely return if we were in the area

The Merchant Inn, Rugby is an interesting pub, extensive and well laid out with plenty of tables and seating. Has a nice outdoor seating area. It's all about the beer, with a great range of guest ales, cider and niche foreign brews. Have regular special events, like a cider festival in late August.

Great place where to meet with friends or organise a venue in their private event room. I went a couple of times to birthday parties and the like. Small parking but you have free parking ok the street a couple of blocks away. Good selection of drinks.

Lovely traditional pub in Rugby. Not far from station. Full of people show how busy they r and how people like to come there. Have many rooms and Amazing atmosphere in every room. Very nice vibes. They r really good in cask & ales but miss keg as i like that much. Nice staff n service is quick. Been there for quick stop drink from London n they didn’t disappoint me. Big space is good for big groups and parties even there was already booked a birthday party in one of there room.

Carly was really great when i came here for cyder Fest. she was so lovely and also seemed like she cared about the customers and by extension making sure they (aka me) got the drink they were looking for when trying new things. really a shout out to her and the service she offered to both me and my uncle on the Saturday night of Cyder fest.

If you love beer, go here. Best place for beer in Rugby and surrounding areas. My brewer-husband described the beer as ‘exceptional’ and ‘well kept’. The wine selection was a disappointing - I had a very acidic French chardonnay, and they don’t do coca-cola behind the bar, just a very herbal Fevertree Cola. The place is impressively decorated inside with beer memorabilia, and they play sports on a large projector screen.

Slightly tucked away this pub has a cosy friendly atmosphere. Huge selection of cask beers on which I was told is the norm. Friendly barman explained our options and we enjoyed a nice pint in what felt like the front room! 10/10

First visit in a while (7/25). Had a lunchtime couple of pints with two friends, accompanied by a very nice freshly made bacon bap. Very much a beer pub rather than a food pub (sandwiches available but that'sabout it). Very good range of real ales and a welcoming atmsphere.

Traditional Black Country Brewery house across the road from the public school. Extremely sociable bar staff will navigate you through the 3 house and 6 guest cask ales if you haven’t done your homework beforehand on the Real Ale Finder App. Additional choice of bottled beers to drink in while you play skittles or takeaway

Traditional English pub, caters for all...great beers. Like stepping back in time. Jade doing a great job. Looking forward to the British Lions....a great atmosphere and place to settle, watch and hopefully enjoy some breakfast bbq's.

Really nice place to sit and have a drink, I've lived in Rugby over 50 years and I have only just been in this pub. This place is a really cost pub with plenty to choose from .... I will definitely be going back 👍

A small but really friendly black country ales pub tucked away from the main town centre. Couple of really good dark beers alongside the usual BCA beers. Nice ham salad rolls too

My partner and I are heavily invested in the Black Country Ale Trail. This place had a great selection of beers and I have to say, the BEST scotch eggs I have tasted so far. Soft yolks, large eggs and really tasty pork and black pudding

What an absolute treat! I was on hour number seven of train cancellations, bus replacements, journey adjustments and I asked (tom) the station assistant where I could have a pint while I waited for the next connection and 7 ⭐ was the recommendation. My backside had barely touched a seat before I was greeted by a local gentleman and honestly, I would have gladly missed another train if my wait was spent there. So refreshing. 😁

Went for a pie and pint night, the pie's were real pie's with sides and bases yay..... hot food good price even catered for the dog, a little roast dinner didn't know they existed... will return... Friendly and warming

Would I go back? Absolutely. It’s one of those pubs you tell people about once you’ve been, and then find yourself going back again to see the slightly mental barmaid Emma Lord - very welcoming and friendly 😀

Always clean and tidy with a fantastic atmosphere. All the staff are wonderful and prompt in their service, especially Emma and Dré. And not to mention one of the best places to bring your canine companions thanks to being so dog friendly

Spotticus aka spot the dog, can't rate the Seven Stars highly enough. Especially the Head Bar person Dra who gives the best scratches and all the biscuits.

Such a great find whilst wandering around Rugby. A warm, friendly welcome to us and the dog who was treated with great love and treats!! Fantastic real beer and a takeaway beer was a true delight 😊

Lauren was the most friendly and welcoming. She made me feel very welcome. Will 100% be returning.

Lovely meal here with my parents, food was amazing, drinks were great and service was good staff very friendly will defo be going back thank you

Took my elderly Aunt for lunch yesterday. We had the saver lunch menu which is a fabulous deal. £9.99 for 2 courses or £11.99 for 3 courses. We opted for a starter and main each. We had grilled halloumi and pate starters and scampi and gammon steak for our mains. All the food was really good and the portion sizes were perfect. Lovely chunky chips too. Service was great and very friendly. I highly recommend and will be back for more and my aunt said she will be returning with other family. Thank you.

First visit since Dave the new landlord has taken over. One barmaid serving most of the time, so long wait for drinks. Long wait for food and ended having to clear own plates at the end of the meal 20 minutes after finishing. Not great to be honest, obviously under staffed this time.

Location is great and the girls behind the bar are really polite and helpful. However, the Food was bland and reheated - items were missing from my order. Plenty of swearing in this place or at least when I visited with young children. Even one of the guys that worked on the bar was throwing F bombs. Wouldn’t come back unfortunately and it’s a shame because I had high hopes

Went into pub for lunch with my husband , great atmosphere very friendly and clean . Food was great value for money . Dave the manager was absolutely fantastic. He couldn’t do enough for us . Definitely recommend going there .

Went here with my partner and dog today whilst travelling through in our motorhome. Was served by a young girl who was very polite and very professional. Ordered two burgers which on a Monday are 2 for one excellent I has just a classic cheese burger and my partner had a classic chicken burger both meals were very tasty and hot. This plus two soft drinks all for under £20 your doing amazing jobs guys well done and thank you ☺️

We were served by Dave tonight and he was lovely! Me and my partner used to come here a lot more often when he lived around here and after a while it's still as good as we remember :) thank you Dave for making us feel welcome 🙏

Very good service and atmosphere in the Bull last Saturday afternoon.

Proper pub and probably the best in town centre. Good beer, sports on various screens, pool, darts, good service and craic. I'm from Rugby, but lived in London for over 35 years. Prices here are half what I pay in the smoke. The place hasn't really changed in all those years, retaining its charm and atmosphere. I'm old enough to remember the town being like the Wild West back in the day. It's much more chilled now.

Fabulous atmosphere, great patrons, amazing amount of screens for any sport you wanna watch! The staff aren't too bad either, 😂 😂. Definitely worth a pint or three during a visit! 🤗👍

My fav pub in Rugby for an afternoon beer.Lovely people, peaceful atmosphere.

Lovely sports bar,,, enjoying the worldcop with big wide screens with a wide range of 🍻 beers collection

£17 for 2 vodka and redbull. The glasses used were small, red bull was flat and warm and no ice. No respect for the drink or customers. No wonder the pub is usually empty.

Good ale, well kept, that's what I'm here for 😋🍺 NUFF SAID!! Now decorated in artistic graffiti which looks very good👌🍻

If you're looking for a traditional British pub that's welcoming to both humans and their furry friends, then the Victoria Inn in Rugby is the place for you. This pub is one of the most dog-friendly places I've ever been to, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes both you and your four-legged friend feel right at home. The Victoria Inn may not serve food, but it more than makes up for it with its excellent selection of real ales and other drinks. This is a place where you can relax with a pint or two and soak up the atmosphere, surrounded by the friendly and colorful characters that make up the local community. Speaking of characters, the locals at the Victoria Inn are some of the most memorable I've ever encountered. From the chatty regulars to the friendly bar staff, everyone here is full of character and stories to tell. It's the kind of place where you can strike up a conversation with a stranger and end up making a new friend. Overall, if you're looking for a pub that's full of charm, character, and canine companionship, then the Victoria Inn is the place for you. This is a truly special place that offers a unique and memorable pub experience. Five stars!

Great old skool pub, Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

My husband & I had a fab tasty craft beer to celebrate a 1 year mark event & we absolutely love this pub. It's so gorgeous & def our fave now. If you're ever in the neighbourhood, you must treat yourself to a wonderful beer in this atmospheric pub.

Lovely pub, great selection of quality ales at good prices, staff friendly and welcoming, would highly recommend 😀 🍺

Old school pub, 1st port of call on our Rugby pub crawl, nice pint of Titanic plum Porter, top pub with friendly staff

Great beer at (just about) reasonable prices and great atmosphere despite the Landlords being Man Utd fans (only disappointing thing about the pub). Great quiz on Thursday and Sundays with loads of sport throughout the year. The best pub on Lower Hillmorton road...

We go to the Sunday quiz most Sundays. Wonderful service from Nick, Bev, and... the tall lady whose name I don't know yet, sorry! Beer is always excellent and they do the nicest ham & cheese butties and the spicy rings also deserve a mention as being a welcome quiz runner up prize.

Best pub in Rugby! Small and cosy, with great beers on tap that are reasonably priced and change every week. Lovely staff and a great atmosphere.

Very enjoyable micropub great selection of ales and a friendly atmosphere. More seating than you night think from the outside. Well worth visiting.

A great little tap room where you can discover great local beer, in a friendly atmosphere right in the heart of Rugby Town.

A good selection of real ales and European beers. It's not a big place, but it's big enough for a micro pub

nice little tap room, great selection of real ale

Friendly staff. Good choice of gravity fed real ales and wide choice of craft in vans and bottles. Busy and bustling. Liked it.

Nice little craft ale place. Always worth a visit when in Rugby town.

The staff were professional but not overly friendly. The fish & garlic mash were cooked nicely however, there wasn't enough garlic in the potatoes & the green vegetables were rubbery. I asked for the tomato sauce to be served separately which they did. I'm glad I did as it tasted literally like seasoned tinned tomatoes. Ordered sweet potato fries on the side which were very tasty & perfectly cooked. For dessert, we shared the horseshoe iced donut with ice-cream & strawberries. Really enjoyed it although quite sweet. It was the perfect size for sharing as I usually struggle to finish a dessert

First time at this pub chain, it did not disappoint! No waiting tiems, the food is utterly delicious, and the staff is amazingly friendly, with one who is reaaly good at performing magic tricks without any preparation! Will come here again when I'm in the area once more.

Decided to have a bar meal, checked the menu on the website. Friday means fish & chips. Phoned up and booked a table. Ordered at the bar and when the food arrived we were so NOT disappointed, all spot on and the fish was excellent. Definitely worth a shot.

Well food was as good as any other hungry horse I've been But if your ordering brownie for dessert order a child's as they are apparently the same size so not like other hungry horses restaurants I've been to adults was adults size Coffee well that was something else awful tasted burnt and off The servers were friendly and helpful

I had such a great experience at the Steam Turbine. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The service was absolutely fantastic – attentive without being intrusive, and everything was handled with a genuine smile. The food was excellent as well. Every dish we tried was full of flavour and really well seasoned – you can tell the kitchen takes care in preparing each meal. It’s not just pub food, it’s proper, tasty cooking that leaves you wanting to come back. Overall, a brilliant visit – lovely atmosphere, amazing team, and great food. Definitely one of the best pubs around. Highly recommended!

The ambiance at Steam Turbine was so welcoming, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. I had most incredible dining experience, every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The Staff Jason is very friendly and attentive as well as knowledgeable. I highly recommend the breakfast. It's my favorite place.

Came in for some lunch, was served by a lovely man named Sam. He was very accommodating and welcoming. Would definitely come back. If You ever come in for food or drink, make sure to keep an eye out for Sam to get the best service.

Despite growing up in the area this was my first "proper" time at The George and, have to say, first impressions were very good. Light, bright decor inside with plenty of seating options, including a dedicated dining area for meals and a spacious beer garden. Good atmosphere inside, with relaxing selection of background music that wasn't so loud as to be intrusive. Service was brilliant throughout, from the bright, friendly greeting on our arrival to the attentive staff looking after us during meal. Food allergy advised at time of booking was reiterated by the staff when taking our orders, which was reassuring. And, on the subject of the meal, the food was excellent - good portion sizes, very tasty and reasonably priced too. Everyone in our group was very happy with what they had. Would definitely recommend and, although we don't really get out much, we'll definitely be back.

Had a lovely meal out with my mum, food was wonderful. Our server Ellen was amazing, it was a delight to be attended by her 😊 thank you!

This pub is a great place to hang out with friends and family. It's located in the idyllic Rugby. The pub also has an outdoor setting with string lights that are fitting especially at night. On the menu, there are multiple drinks to choose from. I tried a couple, but my favourite would be the Lemonade, then the apple cider (if you like apple juice). Food-wise, the fish cake was a killer! It tasted so good! The main meals were a tad under seasoned for me, but gravy and any other sauce of your choice would make it tastier. I also loved the sweet potato chips and the Irish cream bar dessert. A plus would be that you don't have to break the bank to have a good meal and time here! 😊

Lovely looking pub with good food and good service. Nothing not to like. Visited on Sunday and the roast was nice. Burger was fine, but have tasted better, but not complaining. Desserts went down a treat.

lovely food and brilliant, fast service. we have visited multiple times (and visit every Wednesday to do their pub quiz- which i highly recommend going to). outside seating area is very cozy and well lit.

I thought I'd reserve a table this time through the Google map. It was a simple enough process and got an email confirmation. Also they had the options of ordering food and drinks via the app 'My Pub' which is a great idea and so convenient, not having to wait for a waiter/waitress. The staff are friendly and polite. The menu was not limited although they were out of Sunday Roast which being dinner/tea time I wasn't surprised. I had the Smokey Joe burger with sweet potato fries. My son had lasagne. Ordered extra sides - beer battered onion rings, triple cooked chips and cheesy garlic bread. Lasagne came with a salad and 2x garlic bread. I wish I had more choice with my burger in terms of add or replace certain food such as the American cheese which I'm not fond of at all. Although it is already the ultimate burger on the menu. The lasagne didn't have the typical multiple layers of pasta sheets. I think there was just two, top and bottom. The salad was nice with sundried tomatoes, peppers, onions, edamame and tomatoes, but no dressing. I had to ask and didn't get a choice but vinaigrette. I had to ask about the triple cooked chips and had to wait for it be cooked. Weren't impressed with it. With that title and a sign outside boasting of it I was expecting it to be extra crispy or something. Beer battered onion rings didn't taste or look like beer batter. But it tasted good, not great just good. I will try The George again as this was my first time and see if it was just a one off. Updating 2yrs on. I went to The George with my wife for a quick hr or so away from the kids and house. Ordered via the app some drinks and snacks of battered onion rings. This time the onion rings were perfect! Have tried at other pubs in the area and so far this is the best. The sunset cocktail was a big hit with my wife. Very quickly served and the lady was the same one all cheery and polite. Gets an added star!

This is a really nice all round pub. First thing we noticed was the decor. It's done up nicely with light colours everywhere so it feels airy and clean and spacious but it's still got a touch of cosiness to it. The menu had a good range of classic pub grub. I had chicken & chorizo skewers for starter and lasagne for mains and both were very good. Hot. Fresh. Flavoursome. If I had to be super picky, I'd say the lasagne could have been a bit more golden on top, and the salad dressing was too vinegary and sharp, but it was a lovely meal and I came away happily satisfied. Portions were big enough that I was full afterwards. There were a good selection of drinks and the beer I had was very nice. They came quickly and refills weren't over-offered. The staff were friendly and professional. They got our orders right, didn't disturb us unnecessarily, were amusing in their language (regarding coke: "Would like like ice and a slice?") Most of them looked the part (smart, well dressed, etc) apart from one lady who looked like she'd kinda just woken up and found herself at work. I'm not a dog lover, and this place allowed dogs in, so for me that's a downer but I know I'm I'm the minority there. Overall a good experience, I'd recommend.

The welcoming atmosphere of this bar and restaurant truly enhances the dining experience. The menu offers a delightful selection of classic dishes with a modern twist. Friendly staff members are always attentive and ready to assist. The comfortable seating and tasteful decor create a relaxing ambiance. It's a wonderful place to enjoy a meal and unwind.

Fabulous. Spacious. Bright💡. Clean🫧. Low noise📣. Very friendly local people and staff. Good spoons grub 🥳. Car park. Plenty of outdoor area. Generally a good spoons. 👍

We have only stopped here for drinks so I will not comment about the food. Drinks are very reasonable priced, the place was quite busy but a bit too loud. The location is great as it in the centre of the town and it has got a lot of parking. Staff were friendly.

Cold room and very loud. There was a mix of families with kids and adults. Ordered coffees to start but they went cold quickly. Had to put our coats back on to eat. Service was ok. Relatively quick to tidy up but nothing more. Food advertised wasn't what came. Ordered pasta alfredo with added chicken. The pasta is meant to come with sundried tomatoes and spinach, but instead arrived with rocket on top. Chicken was dry. My friend ordered a chicken cheese burger which was ok.

Not my local but wish it was food was excellent staff lovely. Pub is large disabled friendly and very clean

Very nice bar, drinks as always very cheap, food looked very good but we didn't eat there. A nice atmosphere but the toilets are not good. They are refurbishing soon, so let's hope they will be upgraded.

I visited this pub recently and honestly found it to be one of the strangest experiences I’ve had. The atmosphere itself was unusual, but not in a comfortable or welcoming way. What stood out most was one of the staff members, who behaved in a very odd manner towards me.especially one of the male staff who not to name but was ginger and really short man. It made the whole interaction awkward and uncomfortable and acted weirdly toward me and it really set the tone for the visit. Instead of friendly service, I left feeling confused and a bit put off Do not recommend at all.

It was nice and quiet experience with my family. Staff was very kind and helpful. Since owners changed seems standard of food and quality got even better. Food was tasty more than i expected. And portions was generous especially kids one. I would highly recommend this place. Especially when they have special price offers. As you can see we had roast dinner and it was wonderful.

Went in for a meal to celebrate and was warmly greeted by the lady behind the bar. Her service was amazing, very friendly and welcoming. I had the BBQ ribs and my boyfriend had the beef burger. The ribs were so tender and flavorful and the burger was described as " the best he's had in rugby so far". I highly recommend for the atmosphere and the quality of the food. For the price you really can't argue. Can't recommend enough

We had our Sunday Roast and the food quality was alright. But they messed up our order. We ordered chicken sunday roast and they gave us beef sunday roast after half hour wait. They did offer to replace it by taking another long wait time, so we just had the beef instead as we didn’t want to wait and our friend had to catch the train. They did not offer us any discount for their mishap neither any complementary drinks or dessert! This was fairly disappointing!

Went last night with my family. Greeted by friendly hostess. Started off with a bottle of wine, a really nice Pinot Grigio was served in good time. Menu looked very good, interesting mix of Indian and traditional pub food. I had the lamb Rogan Josh, probably the best I've had in quite some time, meat fell off the bone, whilst the RJ was hot the flavours punched through, the balance was fantastic. The rice and naan bread - beautifully cooked. My stepson had a burger which looked amazing, my wife had two starters bought out as mains, again well presented and cooked. Full of flavour and quality ingredients. Staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. There was a wait for the food, however it was absolutely worth it overall. Would definitely visit again - it was very quiet last night, but good to hear they are busier over the weekends. Well worth a visit and I would happily entertain going back. Prices for drinks are on par for the town and restaurants, food is of a really good quality and reflects well in their prices.

Had the pleasure of being the first customers to try the brand new menu, did not disappoint, food was delicious and staff customer service was fantastic, highly recommend a visit.

I’m really fussy and have tried loads of roasts but the Court House is honestly one of the best I’ve had, the food is always great there so we gave the roast a go and WOW it was amazing, the staff were so lovely and really accommodating with all my picky requests, we got two drinks, extra sausages and cauliflower cheese all for £30 which is such good value, 10/10 will definitely be back❤️‍🔥👍🏻

We recently celebrated our son’s baptism reception at The Courthouse, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was outstanding, and the whole atmosphere made the day so special for our family. Everything ran smoothly, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Truly grateful, and would highly recommend The Courthouse for any special occasion!

Ordered on Just Eat and confirmed at 18.15. Had an acknowledgment then a confirmation that the order way on the way at 7pm. By 19.35 it had not arrived so I called to question where it was. I was told the driver had multiple deliveries and would be with me.. I was concerned the food would be cold on arrival so having previously used Curry Cottage on ‘many occasions I asked to speak to the manager. He came on the phone with an incredibly aggressive attitude and said I had been disrespectful to his member of staff. If stating that knowing the owner was not the lad I was talking to was not the owner and requesting to speak to him is disrespectful then yes but I don’t believe so. He simply cancelled my order and told me I wasn’t getting any dinner an hour and 45 minutes after ordering. More fool him as he has now lost a regular customer and what’s more he has wasted food riding around in a vehicle somewhere!

Never arrived and unable to get a refund on just eats Should have looked at the reviews before orderign Edit food arrived !!!! I think the chicken is dog The whole meal was stone cold most items was tuff and inedible all covered in slim from Probably a disgusting kitchen

Unfortunately if ubtype in the allergy section they don't read it called to complain but no sauce delivered very disappointed as this was the only curry place I used

The have some nice flavours and starters but are tight with the meat and do rubbish naans. If they fixed this I'd give it a 4 star

Great food and friendly staff.

I love their food, I always recommend them to my friends and always go back to their food (especially their naan bread ;). Definitely my favourite takeaway place by far.

Never had a bad meal here. Tasty food, good prices, staff friendly.

I have to say.....this place is amazing...elegant....and super friendly! I was DJing last night here, Sam (Manager) was so accommodating and understood my needs to the fulliest!!!! The Owner - Oli popped in and was so down to earth and approachable! Staff, Owen Roddy, Sophie and Abi we so amazing, they gave the phrase "Service with a smile" a whole new meaning!!! DEFO recommended Inside the 22 X CV22

What a brilliant way to celebrate new years eve 2022. Great food, great company, great music and a wonderful time. All supported by a hard working bar staff. We felt it was like a house party with lots of fun and a terrific atmosphere. Well done to all and thank for a great way to see in the new year 🥂🍾❤️👏👏👏

Happened to come here for breakfast on the day they had a new chef starting and wow the food was phenomenal! Highly recommend, will definitely be coming back :). Try the french toast or the Turkish eggs!

We were in Rugby, well for a Rugby Match, and the Inside the 22 was our headquarters. Needless to say a great owner and staff. We were treated with a rock show (The Revolvers). We had (super-great) catered food, so I imagine their regular food is also great. The coffee was top notch as was the beer. They also have classy clothing for sale. All and all highly recommended!

I had the privilege of celebrating a milestone birthday here. It was a private hire and Ollie, together with his team, were nothing short of amazing. Responsive, proactive and accommodating in all aspects. No request too big and none too small. The food prepared for our guests was delicious. It was well prepared, and catered for specific dietary requirements without hesitation. Compliments to the chef as every guest mentioned how great the food was! (I have also had brunch here and the food is spot on). The venue is beautiful and caters for live music with all tech and sound aspects taken care of. It is evident there is a real passion for live music here. Sam led the bar team on our night and he was great. Very knowledgeable and receptive. A huge thanks to him and his team. The venue also has one of the best whiskey selections available in Rugby. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue and am very grateful to Ollie and his team for making my occasion truly memorable. Thank you and see you soon!

Fantastic food, great service, friendly staff highly recommend and we will be back again!

Went for brunch this morning with my mum and ordered the 'Try The Mushrooms' with bacon which was delicious. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were welcoming & great service. The owner, Ollie, was very friendly and had a great chat with us Definitely going again and affordable prices for brunch! 😍

The Windmill Inn is a place to drink ale, larger or cider. I visit with a few local friends on a Friday afternoon. There is always a large selection of beers at reasonable prices. We always have a cob/roll made fresh on the premises, the fillings have are very generous and again are good value. Got to be one of the top five pubs in Rugby IMO.

Very nice pub in Rugby town. Walking distance from accommodation. Very friendly staff & enjoyed people watching from our seats by the window.

Great selection of beers and tasty cobs. I had a cherry beer that was gorgeous. Not a wheat beer or a dark beer like a mild or stout as cherry beers usually are. This was light in colour like an IPA day. It was the kind of thing you wished you hadn't tasted because you know you'll never get anything like it again. The pub building is really pretty too

Very good selection of real ales and ciders. Quite quiet when I visited. Very good prices.

What a great friendly bar. Lots of room with a great selection of beer. Food is Jamaican cuisine from likkle Jerk with a great offering of curry chicken, goat, plantain and saltfish. Well worth trying

Huge range of cask beer. Well worth visiting. Very quiet early Saturday evening. Friendly staff.

Proper real ale pub with a traditional pub atmosphere and decor. Loads of hand pulls including a range of ciders. Excellent scotch eggs. Clean and quiet.

My sister lives close so we often use the Black Horse when I visit. Customer satisfaction has always been top priority for Lisa and the staff. The pub is very clean, service is fast and the food is fresh and tasty Since taking over a few years ago Lisa has been nothing but sincere in her approach to delivering a beautifully clean pub for the local community to enjoy. We come here because everyone is friendly and we’ve never had a bad meal. I don’t frequent dirty pubs and as for Mr Khan who left a 1 star review about the pub being dirty and a mouse, he has only 4 reviews in total and all 1 star 🤔 This is very suspicious and disingenuous behaviour probably from a rival local food business owner. Me and my family will continue to enjoy this beautiful pub - especially the beer garden in this hot weather..🥵🥵 FYi : you need to put your registration in at the till when using the pub car park Any genuine customer who is ticketed while using the facilities need to speak to Lisa and she can approach parking eye to maybe cancel the ticket.

I’m extremely disappointed with how this pub handles its private parking. I’ve been an occasional customer here, but after a recent experience, I won’t be returning — and neither will my family. During a personal urgency, I had to visit the pharmacy next door. The pharmacy’s spaces were full, so I parked briefly (about 15 minutes) in the pub’s car park — a place I’ve supported as a paying customer in the past. I didn’t use the pub that day, but I also saw no clear signage indicating that parking would lead to a fine. A few weeks later, I received a £100 parking fine, which was then increased to £120 simply because I was unable to reach anyone in time to dispute it. I tried multiple times to contact the parking company (ParkingEye), but it was impossible to speak with a real person. The whole system feels like a trap — one that profits off of genuine mistakes and lack of clear communication, rather than managing parking fairly. While I accept that it was technically private property, the response was completely disproportionate and unwelcoming. It’s incredibly disappointing to see a local business participate in this kind of enforcement without offering any flexibility, dialogue, or decency — especially toward occasional patrons. If you’re thinking of visiting this pub, be very careful where you park, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Sadly, I can’t recommend supporting a business that chooses to handle things this way.

Fantastic pub. Refurbishment has just finished and the whole building looks amazing. Quiz night, pool teams, skittles and darts. Lisa and the staff are the best you'll find in any pub in Rugby.

Lisa from The Black Horse went above and beyond to resolve an issue I had. Her professionalism and kindness was incredible. It is lovely to know that there are business out there that put customer service at the forefront! I can't thank her enough.

The pub was great even before the refit. Now it's amazing, they did a great job. Lisa and the staff are excellent and friendly. The pub is very relaxed and the atmosphere is very cosy. We have eaten our Sunday lunch at the George for years, never had a bad meal there, it's always been excellent, but we thought we'd give the Black Horse a try. Although lamb is not on the Sunday lunch menu (like most places) Lisa went out of her way to get a piece especially for Becky. The food was brilliant and they couldn't do enough for us. Special mention to Lisa who is by no means 100% but still provided a great service.

Came to this pub, after many a year, and what a little gem, it was very busy, but bar staff were brilliant never more than a few minutes to get served, and we had a lovely meal, and a fantastic atmosphere in the bar as well, all adds up to 5 Stars:)

Great pub great staff good vibe new renovations is good and the the new dart board is good

Nice old fashioned but very neat old thatched village pub. Great Bass on tap, and it's a free house - so you get what the owners want. Food is simple and well prepared.....our walking group of 9 sent back 9 clean plates !

We were out for a sunny Sunday walk and saw the pub was open. There were hellos from a few people and I think there were between 10-12 in there. They were having a laugh and a good blether which was good to hear. This pub does not do food but we had crisps, pork scratchings and a mars bar. Nice clean toilets and a wee place to sit outside the back as well. We will go back.

Nice and busy place, specially when you walk in on weekends. Good drinks to choose and serve hot food. Table service when you ask. Nice place for your weekend. Good for hanging out with friends.

Amazing pub! Very friendly atmosphere, and the managers are really welcoming. Can't wait to visit again!

Lovely traditional village pub offering good food and good choice of ales and beers. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Stopped doing food now. Still a very nice village pub but I'm concerned it may not survive much longer.

A massive improvement from before (possibly under new management?). Bar was nice and busy but service still quick. Beer garden nice and sunny. Food was absolutely excellent - the best Chili con Carne I've had in years. The homemade shortcuts pies were fantastic too - loads of steak and a decent size with perfect pastry. Portion sizes were generous but the price very reasonable. We will definitely be visiting more often now!

A walk up a disused railway to an old beamed Inn, what could be better. Well good, reasonably priced, local ale and 2 courses for £10 lunchtime meal deal. Pleasant, efficient service. I think this is our new local.

Absolutely amazing experience all round. Bar staff are outstanding and Adam was so welcoming. Deserves a pay rise tbh. Only thing lacking sports channels, other than that, it’s amazing.

Very reasonable drink prices. Lots to do as well, 2 pool tables and a dartboard. The Landlord Adam was a breath of fresh air.

Staff welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Great selection of drinks & snacks all reasonably priced. Car park @ the back 🙂

Lovely pub, new management is brilliant, Adam is very friendly and creates a fun and happy atmosphere, pub is also spotless and the drinks are brilliant, I’m happy I went in!

The minute you walk in the pub your welcomed by such a friendly atmosphere! It's so clean and smells divine, the staff are so lovely!

Adam and staff are absolutely brilliant,always make there customers feel welcome,pub is always clean and drinks are always good and reasonablely priced. The only downside is it would be nice to see some live sports back in the pub.

Good drinks, lovely staff, and even better prices. Highly recommend

I’ll start with the good: Y’all the desserts here are legendary and worthy of 5 stars! We had an amazing honeycomb cheesecake with crème, a crème brulle that was licked clean and then a super delicious sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice-cream. And these desserts were split between 5 adults, but none of us felt that super sickly sugar coma afterwards, so this is deffo a place bookmarked when next sweet tooth attacks. Food wise, we all thought the chips were great and would get the fish pie again, but none of the other dishes hit the mark for our palate on this visit. Personal preference but I didn’t enjoy the batter on the fish - tasted stodgy/ weird. The veggie burger was ok, and the duck had a lot more spice so it overwhelmed the salad. However great service, comfy chairs and overall lovely ambiance. I’m curious enough to come back and try some other stuff on the menu when next in Rugby, and definitely getting dessert!

Quite an extensive menu, food well prepared and piping hot. Good value on pizza/pasta night. Only downside was my friend had skin on fries that were so salty she wasn't able to eat them. Nevertheless we will visit again.

Food was amazing so no complaints there, the pub is a lovely old style pub so again perfect but the only thing lacking was the service, there was nothing "wrong" with it but because we sat in the lounge area (only people in there) I feel we got forgotten slightly and we had to chase the staff for more drinks rather that the 3/4 members stood around offering us etc (I would obviously understand if they were busy but they were far from busy as we sat at 5.45 way before any rush). Plus on top of this I did mention in the booking that it was my and my wife's 25th wedding anniversary but nothing was done (I don't expect anything but there was not even an acknowledgement so feel like the booking wasn't even looked at)

Went in for breakfast today 11.45am. Only person there that was eating. Ordered the large breakfast , took off the tomato and added fried bread. Unfortunately they gave me the wrong bacon and gave strips which were extremely over cooked. 2 fried bread instead of 1 and only 1 piece of toast instead of 2. Sausages, eggs, mushrooms and beans all good. Black pudding to thin. Overpriced and no discount for being incorrect. Lovely staff . Would go back for an evening meal as I have been a few times but never for breakfast again. One other couple who came in when I was half way through, he gave his breakfast back as overcooked and incorrect and both left without paying. Not the right thing to do in my eyes. At least pay for what you ate.

10 of us went for a birthday meal last night. Excellent food and service! as always. Definitely recommend if you have people with allergies or intolerance, they are knowledgeable and you can guarantee you food will be 'safe' for you. We had one lactose intolerant and one coeliac in our group.

Visited for a meal with friends,Emma was helpful and bubbly.Food never came out all together.20 minutes from the first two mains coming out till the last person got there's,and when that came out the chicken was pink and not Cooked, explained to another waitress and then had a "discussion" that it was not cooked properly..never argue with a customer just take the food away and rectify the issue and don't come back still going on about it. Meatballs were burnt and pasta sauce looked dry where possibly sitting under heat lamp in kitchen.Rest of food ok, Won't be returning unfortunately.

Very nice first visit. Divided Bar, Lounge, Restaurant, and outdoor eating areas (and a play area with climbing frame for young children). Food and drinks very reasonably priced along with a board full of specials. We were a party of six who walked up to The Bell Inn from the canals (because The Waterside kitchen closes at 2pm on Mondays and Wednesdays). We ordered different dishes, from bangers and mash to vegetarian lasagna to sea bass. All very well presented, served all at once. Good dessert menu too. Very friendly, attentive and helpful staff. I certainly hope to return.

The Black Swan is one of the best pubs in Rugby, especially if you enjoy watching live football. They have a fantastic beer garden – spacious, well set up and perfect for a sunny day with friends. It’s definitely the top spot in town for catching a match, with a great atmosphere every time. The food is good, the drinks are well kept, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. A brilliant place to relax, enjoy the game and spend time with friends or family. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, drinks and live sport in Rugby.

DO NOT VISIT this is a terrible place where the stuff are horrible to customers. It is filthy. The floors are sticky. They blame everybody. If there’s anything wrong with the Pub they never take any Sort of blame I have been banned from this pub because of accusations against me Which then I forwarded to prove to them via messages and videos that it was not me Then they proceeded to call me, disgusting and block me I was accused of writing on a table, but when I have been sat in there and saw atrocious things happening around me that the security guards just ignore like people doing drugs or creepy people, they just get ignored, but when someone is accused of writing On a table, they get called disgusting and vile they get barred and blocked when trying to prove that it wasn’t them

I went with a bunch of locals that remembered the good old days of the pub and reflected on the history of it. Big changes apparently. I liked it. Not like another true true pub I went to but a great spot to drink a couple hours away. Lots of beer options, lots of folks drinking or have been for many hours :)

Great night out on a Thursday with karaoke 🎤 , would definitely recommend this place.

When I went I thought I was around Heidi professional people a person who was educated but really drunk. So when I say outside to look for her they told me I had to go away. I hope she gets home o.k Because for me the Bouncers reinforced the stupidity of control

Nice atmosphere and the staff were nice and gave a very slight discount on multi purchase. The dj was playing good tunes relevant to most age groups and there is a really nice outdoor seating area. Prices very high tho and the deal they had was 5 jaeger bombs for £10 which still seems very steep, furthermore they didn’t even fill up the glass with coke it was only about half full but overall it is a good fun pace just a a bit expensive for not a lot of drink

Nice polite girl welcomed you as you arrived, covid regulations in place, just a shame the large gentleman maybe the manager? Just wondering around talking to everyone with no mask at all !!

This place changed my view on pubs. They seem like excellent places to socialize and make new friends. I was served by jack. He was entertaining

Popped in for a spot of lunch with the wife. Lovely and warm and a lovely greeting from the landlord. Had burger and chips and the wife a ham and cheese toastie. Burger was gorgeous. The wife's toastie had crisps and salad and was fantastic.. very reasonable prices,and a great meal. Highly recommend, and can't wait till we pass again

Great outdoor play area for children. Also has the double decker bus available for parties. Drinks reasonable, staff could be a bit more social 🤔 Large outdoor TV under cover for sport lovers. Would go back.

I popped in for a quick drink and asked for directions. The staff was friendly, and the customers were very welcoming. I will definitely return next time I'm in the area to try the food

Underrated house. You always feel welcomed on arrival, good selection of drinks and helpful and friendly staff. Large garden with children's play area and a double decker bus (because why not). Pool table and Jukebox. Last of a dying breed of old fashioned boozers. Would recommend again and again.

Fantastic. Went to see a band called Rocking Horse who were awesome. There's a great atmosphere at the Red Lion,the staff are all so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend 👌

Very good visit. The barmaid remembered what I had to drink when I went back to the bar, asked my name and remembered that later on. When I left she asked if I had enjoyed the visit. That's what I call a warm welcome!

The friendly atmosphere, the live music and the best breakfast in town. Dave and Emma put their heart and soul into making London Calling a lively fun place to be. Highly recommended.

Not the first time I've set foot in the London Calling mainly at night if I do decide I'm going out. But this was a Christmas treat from my friend who asked me about having a breakfast. I don't usually have food in pubs etc. But it was a treat and the breakfast was fabulous and the staff aswell. I'll be back before 2025 arrives 👍 I've been back again food is awesome 👍

1st time visiting with my daughter for breakfast, and it is definitely worth a visit. Breakfast was lovely.

I'd heard this place did a good fried breakfast, so when I happened to actually be in town of a morning, I decided to give it a try. I had the middleweight breakfast, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 hash browns, beans, toast, and I exchanged the mushrooms and tomatoes so I could have 2 fried eggs. Sausages were really good, bacon was nice, eggs were runny, hash browns were well cooked, crispy on the outside. Glass of orange juice was good and cold, coffee was just help yourself to nescafe, which was the only slight let down, but by no means ruined the experience, and I'd definitely go back. Staff were friendly, place was clean.

Great little pub very friendly and helpful staff ,good music great selection of beers and most of all a banging breakfast well worth a look

Absolutely brilliant was in my element a birthday to remember see you soon can’t to come back

A really great place to get together for partys or a night out. Staff are friendly and always makes me feel welcome. Highly recommend

Its great that this place exist as it seems to be an important gathering point for some of the locals in the area and the next pub is like a mile away at least. Don’t expect some special fancy establishment, but embrace the charm in the ordinary. Friendly service and some decent cookie cutter beers on tap is all you need to have a good time. Also fell in love with the bar kitten 🐈‍⬛

Not sure I like the front room? It's a bit bright and a bit sterile feeling for a pub.

Would probably get a better service in a public restroom than this establishment. One of the owners approached my party and asked them to leave unless we could prove we had ID and was thoroughly rude about it all. However, we have the ID and were allowed to stay, we chose to leave as we were treated very poorly. You couldn't pay me to visit again, Lidl probably has a better homely feeling than this pub did, and it'd be cheaper too.

Great pub nice stafff nice atmosphere

Friendly people, brilliant place if you like sky sports, kiddy friendly with a nice garden. They say they plan to do food in the future, but not yet. Not really a place to have a quiet drink and a chat.

Friendly local pub with good prices, clean toilets and helpful staff. Nice and tidy veer garden but real ales are often not served

Great pub lovely staff, all Covid guidelines were in place and being followed by staff and customers, there's a lovely garden with plenty of benches to sit on and enjoy a pint in the sunshine 🌞

Great landlord and staff are so very friendly. Plus a decent pint every time

Very confrontational to be honest. Could sense some immense racism from the way he spoke to me. I only came in to grab a J20 drink but he was absolutely disgusting with his treatment of none white customers and I could see it all. Do not come here. Absolutely pathetic.

Elle was such lovely member of staff , so friendly and very welcoming , me and my party had a fantastic time, definitely going back when we're back in rugby next.

Didn’t have food but good local cheerful staff some colourful customers but nice and friendly would definitely recommend

The new owners have made it so the pool table can only be used but people 14+

a large group of us came on rather short notice after a funeral and the staff and kitchen did a great job putting a buffet together for our large group and it was a very nice atmosphere all round; credit especially to the bar man that day who was very friendly and even taught a couple of us how to play a local game which was a nice light hearted end to the day; we are all very greatful for it all

Live band. Quick bar service. Average prices. Good experience overall :)

Good course ,still a bit wet after all the rain lately. Only down side stood many crossing points, but all said, will visit again

Nice course. Quite compact.

Just wanted to thank everyone at Rugby Golf Club for a fantastic Ladies day yesterday, hosted by Zoe North and Suprizeshop. The staff and members at Rugby were both welcoming and accommodating, and the food was amazing.

Great views, but loads of steps.

Proper golf course. Hitting over people's heads. Par 3s everywhere. Greens are good, not that I putted well. They still need to design a hole where the tee shot has to go through the viaduct. Wasted opportunity. Bar staff was good, club a great host for our recent match. Food nice.

Not a welcoming course…… the pro shop was very welcoming and accommodating however the members playing were very snobby/condensing to new players like myself. All in all made me feel like I shouldn’t be there. I can understand why some people are put off from golf with this kind of experience….

Well, first visit & initial impressions were that the Golf Club was friendly, accommodating & tolerant of my below average to inept playing skills. Pro shop & bar staff approachable & interactive. It was quite quiet so when busy will have a different vibe. Other golfers on the course all seemed relaxed & friendly. Course has some idiosyncrasies & specific etiquette due to layout but as long as you abide by the requirements & don't try to 'buck the system' it's all good & a great course to play. Not without it's challenges so well worth a visit at least once.

Quick service. Great for a snack

Attitude of the waitress at this place is horrible - Emaan I believe mid aged lady . If it was a company I would have written an email. Hardly any customers visiting this.. and that speaks why! All this for not so great coffee or service. Avoid Avoid Avoid!

Brunch breakfast really nice good value for money definitely coming back for breakfast 😋 friendly staff quick service amazing food muffins looked amazing

We popped into Rugby for the first time and came across this lovely place so popped in for coffee and some absolutely delicious fresh baked muffin… we will be coming back!

A horrible waitress with horrible attitude called Emaan. Needs to be fired immediately and this cafe needs to reassess who they hire!!!!!

Food is very nice and fresh, however the waitress Emaan is very rude and disrespectful

Really nice decaf coffee. Pleasant staff.

Played pool there and the atmosphere was really good. Regulars were a good laugh and the bar staff were nice too

Love it , good all round boozer

Friendly down to earth local pub. Nothing fancy - but doesn't try to be. Not really a Destination - but friendly and welcoming. Could to with updating but at the end of day, serves a good beer and maybe a sausage roll.

Excellent pub. Great for a small social gathering especially on the weekends. Staff are great and never fail to give a joke to leave you left laughing

Nice friendly atmosphere nice and warm,good selection of beers and ciders,friendly staff well worth a visit.

Top pub! Real ale, kept well and friendly and helpful staff. A pleasure to drink here

Good quality beer, consistent quality through the year. Very good range of sport on the tv's, good atmosphere, very friendly staff. My local.

Cheap and convenient location, but CASH ONLY. How do cash only places still exist in this day and age within the UK?

Fair priced car park with good sized spaces, a clean public toilet block and good access to both sides of the main town.

Good price for parking and it is in town center

Nice car park Reasonable price.

One of the best car parks in rugby

Great place to park 👍

Handy for the Town Centre

It's a bit of a mess outside. Stuff everywhere. Inside is better organized, but it's pretty tatty stuff.

Good place to go to find things. One mans waste is another mans treasure

Recently taken under new management and the place has been transformed internally from quite dark and gloomy to fresh, light, and welcoming. There's a good selection of beers available from the bar, and food is served from the kitchen by an outstanding chef. Customers in the restaurant area can be overheard complimenting every dish they have tried here recently, which was reflected in the food we had during our visit here. Staff can't do enough for customers and will make it their utmost to accommodate requests wherever they can. Prices are great for the high quality and definitely worth every penny. There's outdoor seating with picnic benches and some under cover seating available. Bank holidays have also seen a children's bouncy castle put up so families can enjoy the outdoor space. Set facing an extremely old large church that is steeped in history going back to the 1800s, The Denbigh Arms can provide the perfect venue space for any services at the church. Theres is free parking at the rear. Some weekends have live music, and a karaoke night was recently trailed, which everyone there absolutely loved. If you're passing through, it's definitely worth a visit for a drink and some food. You might have to call through and book a table as it does get fully booked regularly. The onion bahji scotch egg is a game changer! Enjoy!

The new owners have done an amazing job, the refurb is modern and fresh. The food is delicious and the service is friendly. Great atmosphere, we’ll definitely be back!

Recently taken over by a great landlord. Food was superb and extremely well priced - a proper luxury gastropub. Sunday roast was superb, great space for kids as well. Dog friendly too!

Visited with my family for dinner on a Thursday evening and had a wonderful experience. The menu had a good variety of options, and the food arrived promptly, hot, and well-presented. Try the Fish and Chips 😋🙌🏼 The bar staff were fantastic — friendly, approachable, and always smiling, which created such a positive atmosphere throughout the night. The pub itself felt cosy and inviting, with a nice balance between a lively bar and a relaxed dining area. We’ll definitely be coming back x🥂

We met here for my girls birthday. We only planned to feed the kids but the menu looked too good to miss, and it was. Fine dining food but delivered how you would want it in a country pub. The Guinness is good (important) and the owners are full of character integrating with all the locals just like a country pub should be. They sometimes have live music on too. If you’re reading this it means you’re looking for food or drinks. Press ‘get directions’ and thank me later 😃

Had a fantastic night at the Denbigh Arms. My steak pie was delicious, homemade and very rich. Really friendly staff, a great atmosphere and quick service. I would highly recommend a visit!

We live locally and decided to try out the new menu and see what the new owners have done to the pub. Decor is great, owners are very friendly and food was amazing, steak was better than miller and carter and the burger was just delicious. Would highly recommend this place.

We didn’t stay but went for dinner, had our dog with us and had read it was dog friendly. Dogs only allowed outside sadly. It was a nice evening but there kids and wasps outside so we would have preferred to eat in. Food was good though, reasonable price and served quickly

Went for Sunday carvery, found it great value. £14-99 for standard meal and about £2 less for small. Well cooked, and very good portions with 4 meats on offer (for which I was allowed a piece of each). Staff couldn't do enough for you and were friendly, helpful and very attentive, including food delivered to your table if you required it. This pub is disabled friendly, comfortable, clean and spacious with an olde worlde feel inside. A large outdoor seating area and car park were also on site. Thanks to the serving staff, will return soon.

This was my first visit to the Bulls Head and it didn't disappoint. The staff were friendly and as it was a traditional village pub, so was the atmosphere. The menu had a good options and the food tasted really lovely. I highly recommend it.

I really liked this pub. First time visited.. It's quaint and traditional but at the same time fresh and nicely laid out inside. Really good inexpensive varied menu...freshly cooked and quite yummy... Great service and staff very nice... Will come again.

Wife and I had a very nice meal (hot and tasty). Was asked if meal was ok and dessert board brought ,when we asked. Nice pint as well. Will see you again very soon.

Was looking forward to a nice meal for 2, however was hugely disappointed - ordered a mixed grill and ribs - food came out in ten minutes - the meat was overcooked, dry and very cheap quality. Was of a standard we would except from our local chain pub. Tinned peas, microwaved food, the ribs were tough going. No one came over to ask if our meal was adequate, even though it was quiet or when cleared away if everything was okay with our meal. Also weeds growing out of the front and the beer garden looks run down. It’s a shame as we came in February for the lunch menu and this is why we decided to come again.

Came for a meal on Tuesday evening. I know they don't do meals on a Monday so why wasn't there any new potatoes ready for Tuesday. Bad organisation. My husband's mixed grill was not good. Tinned peas, steak tough, meat tasteless. Chips best bit! Waitress came to clear table whilst one of us still eating, never had this before. Went outside with drinks afterwards, tables with ashtrays full of fag ends and other tables dirty and rickety. Could be lovely outdoor space if it Had some tlc. Toilets not very clean, windowsill inside pub could have written my name on it, hope kitchen is cleaned. Won't be going back.

My husband and I booked for Sunday lunch at 3pm. We were quickly taken to our table. The menu was small which I like as it usually means the food is all freshly cooked. We both went for the roast beef with all the trimmings. The food was served with the beef, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding plated. All the vegetables were served in separate bowls and they were all cooked really well. An extra jug of gravy was much appreciated as it was so tasty, no bisto and water, it was proper gravy. All the food was piping hot. I can honestly say this was the best Sunday lunch I have ever eaten in a pub or restaurant and we have tried lots of places. My husband even went as far as to say it was as good as my home cooked Sunday lunch. Congratulations to the chef on making a really excellent Sunday lunch. We will definitely be back.

After hearing great things I visited solo with the dog, it was quite busy so sat outside, and I was told there would be a wait for food. Not a problem I ordered the mix grill rare and 1 hour later it arrived. Unfortunately the steak was WELL well done (small cut as in a mix grill but still way to done for me) along with every other piece of meat was incredibly over cooked and tough except the sausages, was also missing a fried egg, no one came to give cutlery or to enquire if everything was good. Sadly I cannot justify re visiting anytime soon.

This was an unknown chance recommendation to meet for a reunion with Australian family. Great location close for motorway travel. A lovely, well priced Sunday lunch. Good beer selection. Very good food. Welcomed by both staff and locals. We'd come here again. We had roasts and apple crumble. Thanks v much

The new Chef's have taken the food to another level. What was once to big to salty is now amazing. Fish cooked to perfection Roast beef pink and melts in your mouth. If you go anywhere for Sunday lunch make it The Bull. Staff friendly and nothing is to much trouble. Shame we didn't have room for dessert. Maybe next time. Thanks to the staff for everything.

Excellent meal at the Bull inn in Clifton! Would highly recommend the black and blue burger. Staff are very friendly and the Cruzcampo is divine. Would highly recommend!

Sunday lunch today with new chefs was super. I had the beef which was perfectly pink and tender. My other half had soft tasty pork with stuffing and crackling. Generous serving of meat and nice selection of fresh vegetables with plenty of gravy. Thoroughly enjoyed and will return. Oh and the sticky toffee pud was to die for.

First time at The Bill having arrived on a canal boat a short walk away. We were greeted on arrival and made to feel so welcome. The menu was explained to us and we quickly ordered. The food arrived in no time and was just excellent. Honestly one of the best Sunday dinners we’ve had in a long while. Definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic dog friendly pub! Super friendly and professional staff. Excellent value for money on tasty food, especially on the steak ciabatta! Mexican burger was spot on and the chimichuri excellent! Hot wings fresh and crispy (I didn't get the hot sauce) Disappointed to learn that tipping with your card rarely makes it to the staff 😤

Awesome atmosphere on matchdays. Food was great and drinks kept flowing. Service was also superb and staff were friendly. Neat washrooms and tidy place overall.

Fantastic place ! Especially if you enjoy watching sport as they have multiple large screens so you can keep across all the biggest events at the same time. The food and drink is excellent. The best thing is the customer service from the hard working staff who go the extra mile and nothing seems too much trouble. And they are dog friendly. Ticks all the boxes ! Has to be the best place in Rugby 😊

Both Craig and Grace were absolutely smashing! Great food, amazing vanilla late complete with bear art 😂 Will definitely return for more great vibes!

Friendly attentive polite staff, clean spacious venue- converted theatre new decor and bright, and Covid low risk in these times Dec 21, as staff are all wearing masks and the tables are comfortably spaced out. Reasonable food, fast service

I came in yesterday with my mum for an early birthday meal for her, it was her choice to come here, so I decided to treat her. We were impressed with the decor, and what an amazing bar display! We sat down and had a look through the menu, I decided to break my streak for Veganuary as it's mums birthday treat so I had the hunters chicken which was delicious, and mum had a steak with a diane sauce which she enjoyed. The price for the whole meal and 2 drinks wasn't too bad either. We both wondered what it was like to come on an evening as the atmosphere at lunchtime wasn't busy, so we may be coming here again soon for an evening meal. Overall, I was very impressed and would highly recommend coming to here for a meal.

Special shout out to Melissa for telling us about the secret dessert menu 😋 absolutely delicious and a great bar maid

I remember when it was hard to get into the Webb Ellis for Sunday lunch. The pub was always busy and full of life. Not today. The place was virtually empty at 1pm. No- one was behind the bar and we had to wait a couple of minutes for a member of staff to come out of the kitchen. This happened on subsequent visits to the bar as well. When we were served, they had no ice and not all the desserts were available. This is what turned up as a kid's Sunday roast. Eventually, after arguing the point that it said sausage(s) plural on the menu, a second veggie sausage was brought out. The gravy came in tiny jugs and when we asked for more gravy were told we would have to pay more for extra gravy. The quality of everything on our plates was poor. Very sad when you think of the plentiful, well-cooked, value for money meals you used to get at the Webb, and the atmosphere there.

What a lovely place! The staff are very kind and friendly, and my time here became a wonderful memory.

I had an excellent lunch at the Webb Ellis today, very good service and very friendly efficient staff. Would recommend and will visit again.

Saturday afternoon. The pub had a smattering of customers but the atmosphere wasn't at all friendly. Bar staff were fine. Won't be going back

I was looking forward to eating here as not been here for a while. But unfortunately was very disappointed the Philly steak baguette had too much cheese sauce on it and made it soggy and there was no onion as stated on the spec and there was only 10 chips. Not value for money

We'd always walked past but never come in. This is a nice pub. Very cosy inside. The food was very good, the steak and ale pie is what I had. And I would give it 10/10. What more could you want from a pub? Definitely recommend! Thank you!

What a lovely pub! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I sincerely hope it can stay open!

Sarah was very accommodating , She made sure the room was clean and tidy ready for me to set up for my party and helped with anything I needed. Staff was lovely too. Thanks again

No food was available but that didn't distract from a pleasant experience at the karaoke we attended, some really good singers, easy to find and ample seating areas, will be back

A little gem of a place in the heart of Dunchurch. Great place to hire for private parties. They have something on every week from music bingo, live singers, karaoke, coffee mornings a real community venue. Great staff, highly recommend.

Don't do food , but there is a Indian restaurant ,above, in the same building, nice place to socialize puts bands on now and then, under new management, thy are trying really hard to make a go of it, but it needs the locals to supported it I was just a guest visiting the area,I would certainly use it if I lived in Dunchurch,

I held my 50th birthday party on Saturday at the Social Club and cannot recommend it highly enough! Sandie and Tony were absolutely perfect hosts and so lovely from the moment we met. Sandie in particular has been phenomenal and advised professionally throughout the planning process and even helped with last minute decor dramas! The club itself can be decorated to suit your theme and once was fully dressed looked magical! Drinks are reasonably priced and bar staff friendly and efficient, all our guests said how lovely the team were. The atmosphere was brilliant and we all laughed, drank, and danced the night away knowing we were being looked after so well. Sandie also recommend a fantastic DJ Lawro Harvey who again everyone thought was fabulous and kept us up all night with fabulous music💃🏻🍾 Cannot recommend this lovely little social club more - absolutely perfect for any occasion with a hugely welcoming and professional couple running it. Thank you so much Sandie and Tony, we’ll see you for our next party! 🎉🥂⭐️🍾

Great food good service

Appeared to be a friendly place. Will visit again.
