Horse & Jockey in North Warwickshire

Went there with my dog and had some drinks, the vibe of the place is so cosy and friendly. You'd never expect it to be so nice from the outside. The new management have done such a brilliant job. Worth a visit, go you wont be disappointed.

An absolutely gorgeous restaurant, everything about it was great . Food was amazing and they serve Schweppes tonic !!!

Great food again! Lovely atmosphere, warm and welcoming!

Probably the best Sunday roast dinner I’ve ever eaten in a pub/restaurant. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a lovely lunch today meals were all lovely

Lunchtime meal. Fire lit but still a little cold in the restaurant however soon warmed up when radiators put on.

had lamb hot pot it was so salty i couldn’t eat it when i complained i was take they had sold already 7 hotpots today basically they didn’t believe me i was not offered a other meal or a apology what good customer service ????

Beautiful pub. Amazing welcoming staff. Friendly and warm.

We had a fantastic evening , all of us had 3 courses and the food was fantastic ! Staff were friendly and helpful . Would highly recommend the Horse and Jockey for any occasion

Excellent food. Good beer. Friendly staff, and locals. A real pub

First time here. Food was excellent & good service by very pleasant staff. You couldn’t ask for anything more.

Pleasent atmosphere. Decor could improve the atmosphere.

Had a great meal last time I went.. but was told they no longer do home cooked chips which is disappointing 🤷

went there with a group of about 20 of us. everyone was happy with their meals, my fish and chips was banging and a generous portion too. very reasonable prices, 15.50 for a meal and a pint is unheard of these days! friendly and speedy service as well. lovely garden too. would recommend!!!

came for lunch with a large group, pre ordered food and it all came out quickly after we arrived. friendly service and lovely food, would definitely recommend.

First time visit and a warning welcome was given. Will certainly be back soon.

Had a lovely time today for my mom's birthday meal. The staff where all lovely. Made sure could do all the could for you and they had a lot to deal with with our table of 15 at 1pm. Much better now it's been taken over by family ran business now and you can tell that with the way it's being ran now. Food was all lovely no complaints. Definitely be going again and will be trying out a evening meal next time.

Food was of very poor standard and expensive for pub food - sent back and money refunded ok. Price of a 'Jockey Burger' is £16 and described on the menu as a beef patty - what we got served was pork meat (possibly) and it tasted disgusting.

Lovely village pub near Atherstone serving excellent selection of real ale. Food available. We enjoyed our recent visit for Sunday Lunch. We chose the Beef option. The meal was served plated with additional sides of mixed veg and cauliflower cheese. The Yorkshire Puds and sides were obviously cooked well in advance so were disapointing. Service was excellent.

Had a cracking meal last night steaks were superb beautiful salad with homemade chips service was excellent will be returning some time soon well worth the visit

Had a lovely lunch today, great food lovely setting and great service

very friendly people all the regulars and staff very welcoming and Bass and other real ales excellent.

We are here today,great food and service and reasonably priced,will definitely come again.

They fitted us last minute the meal was absolutely lovely and they made us feel very welcome

Great country pub, dog friendly and great atmosphere.

Lovely little pub with a great beer garden

Lovley placefood great very welcoming

Our first visit today ( 28/07/24 ). It's a 50 minute drive from home, but we'd heard good reviews and wanted to see for ourselves. We weren't disappointed. The staff and owners were lovely. Sunday lunch was delicious. Lots of choice. Great value for money. We couldn't manage desert. We will be planning a return visit.

Fantastic place new owners there now made me feel very welcome definitely go back again lovely place really is 😀💪

We had an excellent meal today, food was tasty and plenty of it. The staff could not have been more helpful.

Food was lovely and cooked to perfection. All the staff were polite and helpful. Highly recommended 👍

Quality produce cooked freshly to order. Great service and value for money

Had a fantastic time, food was amazing. Staff were attentive and accommodating. Thank you so much for. See you again soon!!!

Why have I not been here before??? The staff are so attentive and accommodating, the food…. No short measures here, so tasty, all fresh and home made !!! Absolutely delicious. Thank you for a great meal and service.

What a great place, food was excellent, staff were friendly and helpful. We booked to go back on Sunday for the roast dinner. If it's as good as last nights meal, I'll be in heaven. Well worth the drive out. Went for Sunday dinner 30/6/24, the lamb dinner we had was excellent tender melt in the mouth meat vegetables cooked to perfection as were the roasties, yorkie and stuffing. The portions were more than enough we left feeling comfortably full. Thank you. we shall be back again.

Love this place Excellent service and the food was amazing

Arrived for Sunday lunch today. Four of us had the platter, which was extra meat and loads of it, all cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough to make it a memorable dining experience. Will be back !!! Again and again Highly recommended. Thanks from all of us. Need a nap now!!

Visited for Father’s Day, had calamari and the Stilton mushrooms on sourdough toast for starters absolutely delicious. The Sunday lunch was the best we’ve ever had!! Meat perfect, proper roasties, cauliflower cheese, greens, lashings of gravy, if you haven’t been since it’s changed hands I urge you to go, you won’t be disappointed. The service was also amazing, served efficiently with a smile, left a well deserved tip. We will be returning very soon.

Top notch country pub with friendly staff and great food. I had the sirloin steak which was tender and juicy with chips and a side of green veg which I think was mixed and tossed in a buttery glaze which was delicious. Look out for the house beer too!

Cold could have done with the fire on ,beer (bass) lovely pint ,bar person lovely.

Nipped in for weekday lunch. Welcomed to sit in bar with our dog. lovely food, selected from lunch menu, decent drinks and great service from staff.

Great pub. Out of the way a tad but the pub is warm, comfy and friendly.

We have seen mixed reviews about the food and service, but I've got to say our Sunday lunch today was absolutely beautiful, one of the best roast out I've ever eaten. The staff, especially Julie were welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The food was so good, I didn't pick my pint up throughout the meal. Well done all at the jockey and we will definitely be returning.

Everything is superb in every way. Thank you from the two ladies who go there on a Saturday lunchtime.

Always a nice welcome...lovely food and friendly place 😊

Went for Sunday lunch today at this lovely country pub. As always the food was impeccable and seems to get better each time we go. The portions were huge, so much so that only one of us out of a party of seven was able to finish their meal! Three of us had roast lamb and the other four had roast beef and everybody in our party said how nice it was. The roast potatoes were delicious, as was the pigs in blankets and the roast carrots-in fact none of it could be faulted. I will say the gravy was the best I have ever tasted, really rich and flavoursome-you could absolutely tell this was home made. All I can say is compliments to the chef-keep doing what you are doing and we will definitely be back! If you haven’t been here before, prepared to not only be wowed by the food but also the warm and welcoming atmosphere-this is most definitely one of the best pubs in the area.

Got there at 8.25pm, on a Saturday night, and they had already stopped serving food. Again, it was a Saturday night. Talk about losing business.

Had a Sunday lunch, the pork belly was delicious, my partner had the lamb dinner, would definitely recommend, will be here for the steak & ale pie on Thursday. Staff are so friendly, and thoroughly attentive. Laura & James

Had a lovely meal with good Service and friendly staff

Excellent lunch - lamb hotpot pie outstanding! Great taste, generous size and good value. Staff very friendly & draft beer choice good.

Lovely staff. Decent pub grub. We live quite local and can’t believe we haven’t been here before. Really nice interior of pub too so feels comfortable and a lovely dining room. Thank you ladies. Great chatting too. Compliments on the Chef

Hello, I was there for Sunday Lunch last Sunday. One family were just leaving & told us not to eat here. I had a table for 8 people & everyone was very happy. Food was excellent. Some people are just a disgrace.

Visited this place on Saturday with my family we had a Sunday dinner and it was terrible was rubbery and was like eating a packed meal in a microwave, terrible service and I honestly would avoid at all costs management are rude!

I have came in twice now for a chicken burger and it is absolutely gorgeous and definitely worth a 5 star and a beautiful singer was on when I came in last time , however I was just about to book a table for me and my family for my birthday but seeing the replies are absolutely disgusting , I am absolutely appalled by the way a manager is speaking to unhappy customers, and wouldnt feel comfortable bringing my family there having seen the disgraceful language being used “retard” “needs a dress code ” ,i will not be returning ever again, it is also devastating for the staff who work for him!

as the rudest manager there could possibly be taking pride in being an absolute bellend to your customers with absolutely appalling. Response because you got a bad review but it's not the first that has happend tho so I can speak to you why don't you get to the pub so me and you can have a little chat on the phone that would truly appreciated

Well good luck with sale of your pub 🤣🤣

Just driving in the area looked for food around atherstone and this place came up, we stopped asked they accomodated four all 4 and was an amazing and wonderful dinner Brill.

*Avoid* under new management and with a new menu. I was absolutely gutted today as the food served (Sunday roast) I wouldn't have fed my dog. No apologies for our feedback or even the offer of a free pudding. What a waste of money. Such a shame as previous menu was an easy 10 out of 10.. please don't visit and waste your time and money!!!! I most certainly don't have my own restaurant, I believe you have the wrong person. My choice to visit was based on my previous experience which was very positive. To avoid any confusion for any returning customers , it may be useful to put a dress code on your new and revised website if that's the case. Clearly honest feedback isnt received with maturity and understanding. I am simply sharing my experience which luckily for some, I am entitled to do.

Shocking food today Sunday roast , dealt with it very poorly, definitely won’t go back again and your response to my review calling me thick hopefully every one who sees these will no to stay a million miles away , and I don’t no your old chief 😳😳😳and wasn’t trying to ruin a business but you look like you can do That all by your self I

*such a shame* this is a country pub with no expected dress code and allows dogs inside.. really nice inside, but a tad dated. *Food*.. shockingly unpleasant unfortunately. So disappointed. It resembled a frozen birds eye dinner, with no flavour, no gravy and of course cold. *Staff* seemed inexperienced and lacked some customer service to deal with negative feedback. Will be returning tomorrow to discuss with horrendously inappropriate and insulting owner.

Went for dinner today and will be the last time unfortunately. Have been here plenty of times to have the amazing Sunday dinner and have recommend the food to everyone I have ever spoke to about this restaurant, This was not the case today. The Sunday dinner today was like going to a cafe at best. I had to leave the majority of my vegetables as they were hard and the gravy was none existent. had to ask for more gravy which was very thin and watery. The beef was very tough and compared to your previous beef that fell apart on your fork this was very disappointing to say the least. I ate what I could as I was starving and had been looking forward to my meal all day, I did highlight I will not be returning to a member of staff as I was extremely disappointed with what was once a 10 out of 10 meal to now a 2 out of 10 at best. I was told after my meal the chef had been changed and the menu had been changed. If I knew this before ordering I doubt very much I would have ordered anything but my choice was taken away when I was not informed by this. Seeing I am unable to react to your comments I will just add to these. My name is Richard and I am also not an idiot. Why would I lie regarding what I was told about the menu being changed, I believe you need to speak with your members of staff as two female members of staff you have on today both said the same thing that the menu had changed ready for winter. Also why would I lie about the review when in my previous reviews I have highly rated your food and experiences on my past visits. Instead of apologising for our poor experience you try to belittle myself and call me names on the internet for all to see. I hope all WILL see how you treat customers if they have a complaint with very childish bully boy tactics.

Food was lovely, good service. Restaurant was nearly full.

Beautiful countryside pub, will be going back.

Not been in here for many years. Went in for Sunday lunch after walk with a local friend. Had roast beef dinner. Was an average standard affair. Perfectly nice but nothing outstanding to comment on.

Absolutely amazing me and my family meet up for a drink 🍷 and it was amazing me and my boyfriend come here all the time

Fiest time there, and won't be the last. Sunday roast, had the lamb, was wonderful and great value for money

Went Monday this week and walked in, the people already in there that obviously drank there all the time, all looked at us, like we had two heads. My husband said could we order some food and was told we aren’t serving food today. I was bemused.

We went for Sunday lunch and have to say it was absolutely beautiful, compliments to the chef! The service was very good, friendly girls, definitely will return 👍 😀

Best Sunday dinner I have ever tasted 😋 great service and friendly staff five 🌟

The food at the horse jockey is fantastic. We had two courses last night the steak pie was so tasty and the cheese cake was the best I had ever had. The chief is so talented the staff were first class and friendly. Cost very good it's little gem.

Amazing atmosphere. Service great. Very clean! Food amazing. We will definitely come back.

Wonderful place. Staff brilliant & awesome food. Priced well & great service. It's a MUST book venue for food. Recommend the Sunday roast & deffo the flat fruit cider!!

A nice little pub/ eatery to visit, especially if your walking your dog, as there is a nice wood opposite to take stroll through.

Great food we had a mixture of Sunday lunches and normal menu all were fantastic, the beef and lamb cooked to perfection, great sized portions. We spent most of the afternoon in the garden until the British weather forced us inside, which was even better, full of charming cosiness, great atmosphere, friendly staff and very reasonably priced drinks and food too. Will 100% be visiting again. Thanks to all the staff for a lovely afternoon. The brownie is a must try.

We were camping down the road and headed for the nearest pub. Lovely friendly place with fabulous pub grub. Best chips I have had in ages and officially the best chocolate brownie in the world (as rated by my 8 year old!). Nice garden, dog and child friendly.

Lovely old country pub.... Great seating area at back... Great staff. Very tasty well presented food..

Chef myself, food service and bar are Amazing. Taking my Executive Chef Son and family ( worked for Heston ) for Sunday Lunch and evening meals. 5 star meat, presentation and Service. Thank You. X

Very bad place, avoid it!! Very bad service and unfriendly staff.

Lovely pub with friendly staff great food excellent service

TRY THE MACARONI CHEESE! Oh my, oh my indeed. The mac and cheese is insanely tasty. Pure ecstasy in a bowl. Although it's listed as a starter, it's quite the meal in itself. Topped with pulled pork or other options, it's amazing. Twinned with a functional and basic campsite out back, the H&J is a cracking pub.

Popped in here with friends for a drink and a bite to eat, excellent food and a friendly service from all the staff. I would highly recommend the jumbo Cod and Chips 👌🏼

Had a Great Bank Holiday Sunday afternoon in the beergarden live music and great staff

Stopped off for a pint after work £5.35 wow not be stopping again WAY to expensive

Lovely meal, nice restaurant, lovely staff.

Excellent Sunday roast and able to accommodate gluten free.

Food was excellent with caring and attentive staff. Would I go back? You betcha.

Cannot believe we passed this place too many times without a visit....But have to say glad we finally went here for a Monday club lunch with friends for a meal and drinks Absolutely beautiful restaurant and bar area staff also amazing we found a Gem off a place the food and drinks lovely we will return again soon x🍷🍷

Great Sunday Roast, with good choice of beers

Unfortunately we came on a day when chaos seemed to reign. They had asked for pre-order which wasn’t passed on to the kitchen. This resulted in a long wait. When the food arrived, it was a lottery as to who got the right order. Such as shame as the food was good and portions huge! Some staff lovely, others not really bothered that two small children had to wait ages for their desserts (not what they ordered!)

Having just being here with my two daughters for a meal, it was superb. Food was extremely well presented, tasted amazing and service was friendly and efficient, highly recommend this place. Steak was cooked to perfection, and the desserts, wow 🤩 amazing.

Lovely meal in cosy surroundings, typical village pub, log burner and friendly and attentive staff. So lucky to have this on our doorstep.

amazing food , brilliant staff, very warm and friendly atmosphere highly recommend

Just stopped here Friday till Sunday on campsite, the weather wasn't brilliant as had snow, didn't effect our time here, the staff are amazing, food is top notch, best pub meal I've had in a long time, Sunday dinner is lovely, 14 of us and they looked after us spot on , highly recommended and will definitely go again, thank you

Fantastic food good ales good friendly service.

Amazing service, food and prices here. A must visit 😊

Nice old pub. Worth a drive out. Had Sunday dinner. Huge portions, mountains of veg served separately. The brisket was a bit fatty but really tasty. The staff are excellent and friendly.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Generous portions of lovely wholesome cooked food. Friendly and efficient staff. Fantastic real ale from a Local Brewery. Perfect Sunday lunch. Will definitely be returning for more of that.

Great pub, great restaurant, friendly staff and locals and an on-site caravan park with electric hookup. The wife had the red wine ale pie and said it was the best pie she's ever had. I had the white wine chicken and mushroom pie and it was superb. Apparently they have live entertainment once a month. Cannot recommend this place enough

Visited for sunday lunch today. WOW! Honestly, the best in the area. Not a carvery, but not a lot dearer. The service was excellent, the room is lovely, and the food......... We will be back again, and very soon.

Oh dear! Not a great experience - the staff were quite welcoming and looked to be busy and efficient - although not one of them checked back with us to see if the meal was OK or if we needed more drinks…. We arrived 10 mins early for a booked table, bearing in mind this was a Sunday set menu, it still took over 30 mins to bring our food…. Which was was nicely presented but did not live up to appearances, it was cold, the meat was tough, the roasted veg were virtually raw, all in all disappointing. The service was beyond slow, I’ve experienced faster moving glaciers, it alsotook 30 mins to bring puddings, one of which the other was supposed. to be check in with us we may have been able to express our disappointment at the time. One gentlemen literally had to wear his gloves the room was so cold and if you’re going to have high ceilings with pretty beams you really ought to have a hi-level cleaning regime in place to deal with cobwebs and general detritus from the build up of dust, needless to say a return visit is not planned. Edit in response - no we didn’t complain, neither had the time nor the inclination, it’s your job to provide a proper service not mine. If the food was cooked fresh to order then I commend you on roasting beef and undercooking vegetables in 30 mins, that takes some doing, well done, doesn’t explain why it turned up cold though, if it was freshly cooked?? Maybe I’m just used to better, so I will take my lack of common sense to the nearest Toby, thank you for the recommendation, in the meantime you practice your finely tuned customer service skills, I particularly enjoyed your rudeness, that’s was proper special, lots of love Nicki xx
