Chetwynd Arms public house in Nuneaton and Bedworth

Discussing meal, got the order wrong told 5 minutes so asked for my other part of the order to be redone, put in microwave till solid then argued when I wanted my money back having not eaten anything. Won’t be going back in a hurry 😞

visited here last night was looking forward to going with friends l recomended we go as l heard it was good.All 4 of us choose mix grill waited awhile for it to come,we could not tell the steak from chop the bacon had a twange to it. Never had gravy with peas and muchrooms all together in 1 bowl, over all was not a meal l would recomend wont go there again

Went for the chinese food her. It was mediocre but the really annoying thing is it's CASH ONLY. There's only one reason a place would be cash only in 2023 and that's to avoid paying proper taxes. Dodgy tax avoiding people.

Came for a drink with a friend, the atmosphere is good, a typical drinking pub, the beer was good but best of all it also has a Chinese restaurant for eat in or take away, the food was very good, the place is not modern but ok

Estate tyre sports pub bar, not that welcoming to foreigners, we left as soon as we were told there is no food on sundays

Very good local pub. Lovely beer good drinking area out front. Can get very busy especially at weekends.

Food good but service slow. We ordered over the phone and was told to collect at 7:10. We arrived early and presented ourselves. Of course we had to have a drink while we waited (be rude not to). We ended up chasing the order and was nearly given the wrong order. Didn’t leave for home until 7:45 and ended up having 3 or 4 drinks. Food itself was lovely and the beer seems well kept.

Came with a friend of mine for a drink, not many people in so not much of an atmosphere, the barman was ok although not over friendly, I think the place needs sprucing up a bit. I ordered a Chinese takeaway which is on site, the service was quick and the girl friendly, and the food was good to eat back home, worth considering for the takeaway or eat in

Popped in around 9pm for drinks and takeaway meal, beer was fine and service by bar staff OK. There was a member of staff with her children one was only about 18 months or 2 years old running around and another older child rolling on the floor it was like a kindergarten. The children were clearly very tired and bored, the management deciding not to enforce there own policy on children on the premises. Can't say we will return soon.

We only live around the corner from this place, but can recommend it for food and drink. It has a Chinese on site where you can eat in or take away. The menu is extensive but if it is not on the menu, they will cook virtually what ever you want. The service is fast and very efficient. A very good and friendly place too if you just want a drink. Overall a very nice and friendly local pub.

AS regular users of the Chetwynd, we decided to eat off the starter menu only, in the form of TAPAS. WE were amazed the staff under stood our request and we had an excellent meal, the wine is very reasonable, the bar is a little noisy before 8;00pm BUT it is a working pub, just aim to arrive at 7:45 if you want quietness

We arrived on a narrowboat having travelled up the Ashby Canal. We were booked in elsewhere but due to the amazing sunshine today we were told it was a minimum of a 50 minute wait. So, a quick check of Trip Advisor led me to the Chetwynd Arms. Great local pub, 200m from the canal. Chinese food (and English) available inside. Really really good food, piping hot, delicious and with great service. The Doombar is well kept too! Highly recommended.

Very good atmosphere and very good oriental food available in the evening. Good choice of beers available.

Came here early evening with a friend for a drink but the smell of the Chinese food made me think twice .the food was hot, quickly arrived, and delicious. The pub is a drinkers pub so no need to dress up, but good food although on the night we came the Chillers were down so the lager was not good.

If you are looking for a pub with a lively atmosphere where you can have a Chinese meal served to your table and some good value drinks then the Chetwynd may just be it. Alternatively if a dance off to the Macarena or the Cha Cha slide is more your bag on a Saturday night, then load up the jukebox and the boys from the infamous 'middle table' will be happy to oblige.

Popped in for a pint and a take away on my way home. My wife and i stood about 6 foot from the bar as a gang of loud drunken men had crowded around the bar area. When they finally moved to let us in i ordered a pint and a half of beer.we sat by the big screen and viewed th menu. We ordered crispy king prawn balls and house special rice. When our order came we finished our beer and went home. Only to discover they gave us hong kong style prawns. I qas quiet clear in what i ordered so unsure as to how the mistake happend. Next time i visit i will check my order before i leave. And could they do somthing about the awlful smell from the toilets.it is not at all welcoming.

Six of us went for a meal on a Friday night.

Dirty tables, spoon and fork to eat with. The smell of cigarettes . Interesting drunk cliental starting fights. Food ok but service poor and disorganised.

Came with a friend for a drink and a Chinese, good atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, in my opinion this is more of a drinkers pub, but good Chinese too

Orders take away 2 weeks ago for about £50 worth of food. 2 dishes came completely wrong phones up and was told by staff they would replace them next time and left details.

Went with friends just 4 of us for hubbies birthday. Found a table and sat down very sticky tables and rice left on the table so we moved. The next table was very sticky but clean we got a menu and ordered drinks. Had to go to the counter to order the chinese food that is located in the Chetwynd pub, had to tell the girl that served us that we had a table and needed the place mats ect. The food took approx 20 minutes when it came it looked nice it was just sitting on the table because we had no plates, the waitress went off to get them it was a few minutes wait so a couple of us started to eat the food out the bowls, then the plates arrived they were warm that was a bonus. My house special chow mein was stodgey the chicken and beef slices on the top was like cardboard hard and dry could not eat it. Some of the others said their food was okey nothing special.you have ro pay with cash only so make sure if you go have money no card or contactless payments . It was very noisy in there loud music so making people speak louder, we had our meal and a couple of drinks we were there around 6.30 until 8.00 and was glad to go as our plates were left on the table the waitresses were walking past us taking food to other tables they had empty trays walking back to the kitchen but did not clear our tables very poor service poor food not worth the price.

This being my local I am going to be biased. However the Chinese food it delicious, the atmosphere friendly and landlord very welcoming.

We visited after having a Chinese take away with friends. The food and waitress service was excellent. Natasha is an asset to their team 😁

I do like this pub - not my most local but definitely the one I visit most BUT the men's toilets have been absolutely disgusting for weeks now. The urinals are totally full of piss - it stinks terribly, not to mention doesn't look great!

Whilst the pub is friendly and the beers are good the kitchen is rented and once again our takeaway meal was missing items which has resulted in 3 stars. As the kitchen is run separately from the pub nobody takes responsibility when something goes wrong and the only way to resolve any issues is to go back and collect your items leaving your meal to go cold. Not a good experience again.

Met up with friends and we turned up with an extra person so booked table was too small. No problem for the staff..they resolved the problem quickly. We ordered a lot of food between us and it all came in good time. We all enjoyed the food and the prices were good too. Will definitely return...

Having skipped lunch in anticipation, we went to the Chetwynd for dinner, sat at our reserved table ,ordered our food and got our wine, and waited and waited and waited, and after 50 minutes went and asked about our food, our starters came, which were chicken legs instead of wings, then waiting started again, 35 minutes later we had had enough and got our money back and left.

Decided to give this place a whirl as it’s the only Chinese that isn’t an ‘all you can eat’ establishment in Nuneaton. The food is fabulous and the waitress was very friendly although we had to ask for items we had paid for but not received. Paid in the region of £30 for starters, mains and sides for two so not expensive. Unfortunately there were a few badly behaved older children in at the same time. The noise coming from the pool table area was unbelievable, much like the monkey house at the zoo!! Now I’m not ‘anti children’ by any stretch of the imagination but I don’t really want to hear shouting and hollering when I’m sitting down for a meal. Nice enough place and would probably go again for food, just spoilt by the noise.

Always a lovely welcome, even getting i on the 'Gin train'! Plenty of parking available, even has an in-house Chinese takeaway/eat in . Very tasty. See you again soon!

Had a good time here Christmas Eve, great atmosphere good music and friendly service. We all had a good drink without spending a fortune, top pub!!

Our very first visit here, the food was lovely & so was the service, we had plenty left , so they gave us takeaway trays to bring it home in.

Live locally so often have the Chinese takeaway especially when family visit. Always hot and loads of chips. Slight changes to menu & quality when new people took over but it soon returned to normal. Pub always busy and well used by locals.

Recientemente fui a los brazos Chetwynd con amigos para un chino. Tenía la comida para 4 que no era caro y era una gran relación calidad-precio, de hecho era probablemente más de lo que quieres en términos de lo que está incluido. La comida era magnífica. Estaba caliente. Era delicioso y el personal era genial cuando llegó al servicio. No tuvimos que esperar entre campos y las chicas fueron muy educados cuando sirve la comida y luego recoger los platos durante el próximo curso. La cerveza era excelente, con una gran variedad de cervezas. El personal del bar es muy amable. He tenido llevar antes de aquí, pero en realidad nunca se sentó para una comida en el pub. Mi esposa dijo que era la mejor comida china ella había tenido por un tiempo muy largo y estoy de acuerdo, sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré en un futuro no muy lejano.

Decidimos darle otra oportunidad el Chety y recogió una comida para llevar y de haberlo hecho, el pub estaba lleno y tuvimos un par de bebidas mientras esperamos nuestra comida. El llevar de primera clase y no grasienta o rancio la comida estaba bien caliente...

Gran comida china de nuevo a un precio razonable buena y amable servicio de camarera. Encantador pub con una buena selección de bebidas muy bueno un servicio de primera categoría ambiente de John y su personal. Altamente recomendado

Food spot on !!! Always has been for the last 20 years it's been there, service appalling !! Ran by school kids that have not got a clue!! Told 3 times whilst waiting to order be with you a min whilst she appeared to be doing nothing to then be told it's going to a 1 and a half hrs wait as there has just been lots of take away orders taken over the phone to which I replied no your customers sitting in should take priority as in any business that does takeaways too, I asked to see the manager as to which this 16 year old girl said oh it's ok I'll put your order through, 45 mins later food came which for the Chetwynd is bad, there was only one other table ordering food that we could see, not bothered about waiting as we were enjoying time with friends !! Just think they need to sort there customer service skills out and employ some staff that actually know what they are doing and not young girls for cheap labour !! Other than that the pub itself is lovely and the bar staff were great but the Chinese food side of things is a shambles !!

Qué fantástico pub con buena comida y un personal muy amable, tuvimos una comida con un servicio fabuloso, aunque estaba muy lleno, regresar al día siguiente para bebidas y comida con amigos. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente! !

El pub es un lugar agradable para comer y beber con amigos. Sirve comida china, lo que es muy agradable. También están disponibles juegos de pub, que es bueno para la familia.

A large group of us visited the chetwynd for a friends birthday just before Christmas. We had booked as there was quite a few of us and separated ourselves evenly amongst the tables allocated us. Each group went up individually as they only take cash for one and so that everyone's food would come out separately rather then expecting them to be able to manage us all eating together! However I don't know what happened behind the scenes but it was a complete mess the people who ordered first didn't receive any of their food and had to reorder completely the poor waitresses were bringing food over that no one had even ordered and people were getting one of their dishes then nothing else till 5/10 minutes later! The thing is when the food arrived it was brilliant Chinese food and clearly cooked fresh just a shame the kitchen didn't organise the orders correctly. Would be willing to try again though as the food was very good.

The place has become a bit run down. The tables have lost their lustre and are now down to the bare wood. There is no separate dining area as such, but you are sat in a raised open area just off centre of the main area overlooking the rest of the pub. A bit noisy if your hoping for an intimate evening out. Was served by a young woman wearing a black leather jacket ??. Hot plates were bought to our table very quickly, but, then the food to put on them arrived 12 minutes later when the plates had gone cold. There is a huge menu to choose from, compatible to menu for most Chinese Take a way's with prices about the same. It's nicely presented and there is enough to fill you up. The thing is, nothing about our dining experience here made us say we would want to go again. The overall experience just didn't do it for us.

Heard about this place many a time but never got to visit it until recently. Taken by friends on their recommendation and it didn't disappoint! Unusual set-up of cash served chinese menu within the corner of the pub, tables laid accordingly while the rest of the pub goes about it's usual business! Comprehensive menu, the usual culprits but beautiful tastes and sumptuous dishes - definitely can't wait to return. We had a mixed table of dishes and all shared and every dish was great - by far better than most chinese restaurants i have ever eaten in.

We use this restaurant half a dozen times a year, so we quite like it, but this time, the sweet and sour pork was just little and I mean little bits of batter in sauce, virtually no pork at all.The prices have also jumped significantly, turning a reasonable priced meal into a fairly expensive oneIn view of the prices we will think twice before visiting again

Hadn’t visited for some time, the Pub is the same quiet busy which I like. The menu is very comprehensive with something for everyone. Portions are large so beware, all food fresh and hot which is a good sign. Basic Chinese food , well cooked and presented. Will certainly return. They also have a take way menu. Cost is about average .

Came here for my birthday about 15 of us. Food was great and came out hot and quick.Everyone really enjoy it portion sizes were a good sizes so we could all have a bit of everything.Would come here more often if they took card.

Great pub, great food , just really top notch ..Served at the bar by a lovely girl , I believe her name was Paige , with a full compliment of what was on offer available .. the 2nd round was ordered from who I believe was the landlord,Jon, a very friendly jolly chap , who again asked if we'd like the specials on order.We asked if it was possible for a table for food, and even tho it was a busy Friday night, he found us a table for the four of us ..We were served and the food we ordered was brought out quickly and efficiently, and was of a very high standard... I really just recommend the house special curry, nice and spicy, without being mindblowingly hot !!All in all a great experience, which we will return to again very soon.. thank you all for a great eating and drinking experience

Been for a Chinese and beer at the Chetwynd tonight, food was delicious no issues would highly recommend. bar staff and owner very friendly, will definitely come back. If your thinking of somewhere to go give the Chetwynd a go.

Great beer great staff always made to feel welcome also offers Chinese both eat in or takeaway a very cosy pub for family or couple meals and a good friendly service

wonderful service food was piping hot and arrived really quickly there was plenty of it and varied choice

We were visiting family for the weekend and the consencus was Chinese food. We were happy to do whatever the family suggested and we ended up in the Chetwynd Arms. Busy? Of course - it was Friday evening after all. After a 10 minute wait we got a table and ordered quite the feast between the 6 of us. This arrived fairly promptly and I have to say, what this place lacks in style, it certainly makes up for in taste. It was delicious. They even packaged up the leftovers which was great later on in the evening. Really tasty and I understand there is also a take away service. Win win all round then.

I think this is the best Chinese food I've had ever how can you go wrong pub/Chinese all under one roof the food is delicious and filling it's a good price and good if you have family (recommend booking if you have a large group) I've read the reviews on here about noise ???!!!!!? If you want to go to a dull place with no heart you should visit a library this place has a lovely atmosphere so please don't visit here thinking it's going to be quiet.People are enjoying them selfs so leave you ego outside and enjoy some good food and good beer

Great Chinese takeawy or restaraunt. Lovely food reasonabley priced. All served hot. Well worth a visit.

Went tonight we go often the girl said prices had gone up and the £1.00 cover charge had been scrapped. Fair enough had to ask my partner for more money but never mind. The meal arrived quickly but the dish my curry was in had seven chips around rim not really good enough, when I mentioned it I was told "got from lkea"should have been thrown out later ng ago. Meal ok rice hard.

Locals are friendly and pub has a nice feel about it, very welcoming. Chinese has changed hands recently and the food is excellent. We have eaten in and had takeaways and never been let down. Fantastic, would recommend.

We went to the Chetwynd on the spur of the moment on a Friday, an found it to be very busy. The food is a separate concession within the pub so you have to pay for drinks at the bar. The food came reasonably quickly and as always was excellent. However there was a VERY LOUD group of drinkers at a table in the centre of the room which made coversation difficult, then when they quietened down some clot put the Juke box on!! The serving girls, as usual were very pretty an charming--Where do they get them from?? We will return

The menu has increased so more choice. But suggest you opt for take away as same food around a pound a dish cheaper if you take away.

I was a little sceptical of eating here however I was really pleasantly surprised.The food was to a very high standard and very reasonable and everything for the table of twelve (separate orders per couple) came out together.I for one will return.

All the serving staff, bar & food, are very friendly and efficient ! The food is excellent, tasty & well priced, and the menu options are wide-ranging ... but not available on Mondays ! The ale is not really to my taste, which does not detract from it's quality, but the Guiness is a more than adequate alternative !

We have visited several times now, you can either order Chinese food to take out or you can sit in and eat for an extra £1 per head. The food is very nice and very reasonably priced. I would recommend here if you like Chinese food.

Another boat trip up the Ashby Canal and we were looking forward to a meal at the Corner House near Marston Jabbett but found it closed for refurbishment so walked across the road to the Chetwynd. First impressions were not good. The building is very 60's/70's, lots of glass and coloured panels and inside was not particularly inviting. However the bar staff were welcoming and managed to find us a table even though most were reserved. Food orders are taken seperately at the end of the bar and obviously the kitchen staff had much of importance to discuss amongst themselves as it proved a little difficult to attract anyone's attention. Eventually managed to order set meal for two but had to pay seperately for a pint of Abbott and a glass of Chardonnay. Wife's comment was that it wasn't the best Chardonnay she'd ever tasted and I have to say the same about the Abbott which seemed to be a new barrel that hadn't been rested for sufficient time. The food arrived very quickly and the chicken and sweetcorn soup was pleasant enough but I was a little concerned about the chicken which appeared to be in reconstituted tablet form. The various dishes which made up the main course wre all tasty but also very over-salted, or was it monosodium glutmated? The salty assault on our taste buds put us in the mood for something very sweet but there was nothing so we asked for ice cream but were told there was none - on a bank holiday weekend !

We used to come here once a week. The food was always lovely and fresh. Since the new owners took over the food is disgusting. Everything is swimming in grease. We will never go back. Such a shame.

Came in to watch the rugby yesterday evening, and decided to try the Chinese (as its recently changed hands). Was absolutely superb, really impressed, will definitely be back!

I am so glad I did not read the latest reviews about the chinese meals at the Chetwynd Arms, they would have certainly given me second thoughts about going there for a meal.Friends of ours had booked a table for six for Saturday evening (this was my first visit to this venue and it will certainly not be my last)We arrived at the given time and ordered drinks while we browsed through the menu (I had a lovely pint of Pedigree) Our order was taken by a very pleasant member of staff and it was not too long before all our meals arrived. The prawn toast was a good size and heaving with prawns, the chicken was beautiful and tender (certainly NOT processed) the king prawns were huge and very good, the vegetables etc were cooked to perfection, no complaints here. Service was good, pleasant staff, good atmosphere and certainly value for money, the whole team should be proud of their efforts.Thank you, we will certainly be back.

Excellent food, really good service, I had a fillet steak in king dou sauce, was amazing quality meat! Would come back again and again

As always previously had great food we decided to go again with family. Food wasn't great and service was dire...must say not girls bringing food but kitchen management. Food tasted different and chips rice and 1 main brought out . Unfortunately the rest didn't follow for at least 10 mins. By this time chips had gone and our rice was cold. After complaining we were told the kitchen is under new management. Seems a lot of people have complained over last 2 weeks. Even a couple sat behind us were like us disappointed and complaining of poor quality and service. Won't be recommending or rushing back!!

Have been eating from the chetwynd for years had a takeaway tonight and food was just awful. The chicken is processed and my sweet and sour was rock hard couldn't eat it & will not order again!

One of the best Chinese takeaways I have had for ages and reasonably priced. Had guest and they all agreed. Would def order again

Absolutely loved my meal at the Chetwynd and the waitresses made my experience so much better! Ellie and mollie thankyou

ordered a take away, as you do on a weekend. Was not aware that it had changed hands on the friday night. What can i say, will not be using it again.

Arrived on time to collect my take away from the Chetwynd but was advised that it was not ready because they were busy. Not a problem, I just had a beer while waiting. On arrival back at home I found that the 12 pancakes were missing from the half duck order. All the food we ordered was cold and the rice container was a third less than it should have been. We spent the next hour trying to ring and complain but couldn't get through - my guess is everyone is was complaining by then!

Wasnt aware that the kitchen had changed hands, had a takeaway this evening it was so bland that you cauld't tell the difference in dishes. No where as good as it used to .be. This used to be the best chinese in Nuneaton not any more

Had a great night, food was fab, Have read previous reviews food was plentiful, service was great. Would def go again.

I went with 3 friends to celebrate a Birthday we had lots of different dishes which we all agreed were all excellent. Can't fault anything Service Atmosphere Food all Great had a truly stupendous night. Cant wait to go again in October for another Birthday,

Have been visiting the Chety for years and since the food side was taken over it has been excellent. Went in for a meal at the weekend and the staff were very disorganised. Forget the beer its pasteurised pap. Usually the food is served quickly and plentiful but we waited so long it was almost cold and very small portions. Not good.

Having had a disastrous meal the previous night and getting home too late to cook (wife tired!!) we went to our fall back the CHET the wines available were almost bottled in UK (yuk) only. we had the last tall horse -good.we had our starter of Yuk Shung very nice and then waited more than 45 more minutes for our mains, despite reminders at 30mins. During this time the music which had been nicely in the background had been turned to Disco level following the arrival of 3 "girls about town" all flowing hair and mobile phones. This turned a poor evening to a very bad one. Additionally the food seemed a little below the normal excellent standard.We learned on leaving that both the Pub and food concession has changed hands.WhoopsS

Good food and good service, although waiting staff sometimes seem a little unsure of themselves if minor issues occur. Many improvements have been made since my previous visits where the quality of food was not as good as it is now. The restaurant space is a little bit cramped and the table we had was too small which made for an interesting time when we ordered a set menu meal. There was not be enough room on the table for all the plates and drinks. Overall a good experience if you take into account that this is first and foremost a public house. I would definitely go back.

Heard new people took over the restaurant / take away side and thought we would give it a try. Food delicious, hot, plentiful and very reasonably priced. Food arrived in no time, and was served by a very polite and friendly waitress (in fact all of the staff were a credit to a well run and very tidy pub). Compliments to the landlord on his cellar and running a pub with a great atmosphere, we will come back.

Had a fabulous evening here on Saturday night, the pub was packed and had a great atmosphere and the food was just beautiful from start to finish, the service was excellent and the beer was flowing. What a great evening with great friends and great food to match. Would highly recommend to everyone who wants a great pub with lovely chinese food, don't forget to book a table at the weekends though as it gets packed

Best Chinese ever! this place is a gold mine, the food is to die for! Definitely be back! Staff can not do enough for you 11 out 10
