Manor House in North Warwickshire

This was the first time I've been here, having heard it was under new management we thought we'd give it a try. The food was excellent, and so was the service (even though the two staff that were on were obviously rushed off their feet). We will definitely eat here again. Only criticism would be that it could do with a bit of ambient background music, there was some, but it just seemed to be behind the bar.

Sunday lunch - Food ok - left feeling full up - good price - limited menu - new management - it will be much better as time goes on I wager

What a lovely transformation in the decor inside ,since Dawn and Andy Hammond have taken over . My husband and I went on Sunday the 13th October last weekend and ,what a superb dinner we had. I had turkey Rick my hubby had pork, and the couple on the next table to us had the beef. We all got chatting and all agreed that all food was cooked perfectly, New staff were very polite and attentive, we all can time enjoying all on offer . Well done Dawn and Andy. We will definitely be back with our friends for sure. What a lovely Sunday we had .Thank you both and staff.

The Manor has been rejuvenated by the lovely Dawn and Andrew Hammond who only took residency a few months ago and they have restored the pub to new splendour and breathed new life into the village. They have only been serving food for five days and tonight we took their hospitality and ordered. There were four of us; two Hunters Chicken aficionados, one fish and chips expert and myself who had always steered clear of pies that were commercially made or served in pubs. Let’s start with the hunters chicken! The chicken was a generous chunky breast fillet, char grilled to perfection (the char grill stripes gave the game away), wrapped in a thick slice of smoked bacon, given a fair old slick of BBQ sauce and smothered in mature cheese, grilled until unctuous, deliciously so! The fish was a humongous chunk of Moby Dick, fresh as they come and battered in-house, not out of the freezer and into the fryer. The result was crisp, crunchy battered fish, delicate and pearly inside. Spot on! This leaves the pie. What a pie. I steer clear of pies having been disappointed many times with their promise of crisp pastry blanketing tasty, meaty chunks. NO! They never are, except for now. The Manor pie is proper pie. Not for them the little bowl of sparse beef stew topped with a little cap of flaky ‘stuff’, no, this Desperate Dan style! The pie is made in a huge, deep tray like your Granny would make because this is food that is made with love and care. Chef is absolutely caring about what she puts her name to and god does it show. This…..this pie is the pie of champions. What you get is a particularly sizeable slice, about four inches deep, of crisp shortcrust pastry, under and over the meat. The beef comes in inch sized chunks and you just know that it’s been slow cooked for hours in a rich, thick, ale and beef stock. The ale enriches the meat juices rather than detracts from the taste of them until you reach perfection. This is a pie to end all pies, and to top it all, you gave more gravy to pour over the whole lot, including the chips, which I may add were also fabulous. If they weren’t home made they made a bloody good impression of them. The menu isn’t huge, which to me indicates that a) the chef isn’t a confident cook or b) the chef is an excellent cook, doesn’t do things by halves, loves what they do, appreciates good quality ingredients and will absolutely not put a plate of food out that they wouldn’t serve to the King! This is not just food. This is the Manor food! Go there. Eat. You will be happy and full!

Lovely new people running it nice and friendly

Thank you for a lovely evening. Great rum and black. Regards Anthony - Auto Diagnostics Ltd.

Nice place for afternoon and evening pint

Just dropped in for a drink. Good atmosphere and friendly staff and locals.

Popped in while looking for somewhere to eat. They have just been taken over and not doing food just yet. We stayed for a quick drink. Service was lovely, drinks reasonably priced, and the lovely bar staff suggested some other nearby places to eat. Will definitely visit again.

Just reopened under new management great service good beer nice to see an open fire spotlessly clean

Really friendly staff, lots of space outside to park my motorbike too 😁🤘

Bike night very friendly and good service from the bar staff

No atmosphere the only thing that's nice is the real ale and the fire 🔥

Traditional thai food Best I know of. Been going here for many years and not found food to beat it yet.

Fabulously fresh fragrent food, will definitely be back 😋

Splendid pub, wonderful landlady, see you next year, Julie..👍😁👍 Regards Paul

Fantastic little pub. Locals are very friendly. Enjoyed the banter. Will be calling in again.

Lovely meal, a little small on the portion, could have been more but oh so good, highly recommend 👍👍👍

Always great food. Excellent service

Best pint of Guinness I've tasted for a long time with friendly staff

Nice relaxing country pub with a Thai restaurant next door

The Thai Food is fantastic, will definitely be back there shortly.

Perfect village pub, cosy fire in the winter. Lots of room for kids to play outside in summer

My wife and I enjoyed a birthday meal out. We ordered starters and different main courses. The food was perfect. Friendly service. Would recommend.

Visited Thai Restaurant here. Beautiful best Thai food around

Friendly local pub. Lovely Abbot Ale and other beers.

Excellent service 👏 love go here after work to relax

Good pint, friendly people and great staff 👌

Good place to stop. No food being served but quiet and good distancing

Had a few beers in the sunshine

Very nice village pub with good food

Very expensive put the prices up .

Just whent in 4 a brekie it was very nice food & good value 👍

Very welcoming, friendly service good selection of beers.

Great Village Pub, excellent selection of ales, friendly atmosphere and good pub grub. Nice outdoor area. Good music nights.

Had a superb all day breakfast here. Everything you'd want for and also plenty to be able to feed a hungry two year old with.

Lovely Sunday meal, friendly and welcoming staff , lovely beer , would definitely recommend giving it a try

Brilliant breakfast, excellent service

Lovely warm welcome here. The owners are so lovely , very kind and friendly. Always remember you too. Thankyou

The food was excellent, the staff were very polite and helpful. I thought the restaurant was a bit dowdy but it was clean, you have to accept it is a room in a pub not a purpose built restaurant.(It was totally separate to the rest of the pub so you didn't have to share with noisy drinkers.)

Had an excellent evening in the Thai restaurant for my Son's girlfriends birthday. The food was very good and of excellent quality. For starters I had, in English, king prawn soup which tasted delicious but the first thing that hit me was salt. For the main I had the Pork curry with Thai fried rice which was excellent and not too salty, the fried rice was the best I've ever had. Overall a really good night with good friends. Recommended.

Good friendly atmosphere, excellent service very relaxed.

What a top night .lovely beer and very friendly staff . See you again soon tony from fillongley garage .

Thai restaurant in the back is gorgeous! The locals to this pub are friendly, bar staff are amazing and the entertainment put on here is just wonderful

Most importantly clean and tidy. Food was yummy friendly staff

Works Xmas lunch for 5, absolute superb, faultless. Sherry, choice 4 starters, 4 mains, 4 puddings, plus coffee & mince pies, for less than £20, Amazing quality & value. Galliford OAPs

First time in the pub for many years,staff very friendly and helpful. Sunday dinner looked good and good value. 3 real ales on all good. Had to try them all???

Its not a restaurant kitchen closes at 8pm

We have been working in Coventry and the pub was on our way home, have stopped several times over past few weeks. Great beer and very friendly staff will definitely be back even though it’s half an hour from home.

The most authentic Thai food in the greater Midlands area to my mind. We've eaten in some of the so called " Family " and " Authentic" Thai restaurants in Birmingham over the last year or so, but not a patch on this place We ate there on Saturday and whilst not the most glamorous setting, the food said it all. The staff were very pleasant & attentive when required. The real ale on tap is a huge bonus also Well worth a visit

Our first visit here really enjoyed the beer, had a spot of lunch also and wow!!!!! They actually serve fresh proper chips , how lovely is that. Will definitely return the barmaid was lovely and friendly. If you like a nice pint it's worth seeking out.

Great landlord, good choice of drinks, often live music on - happy days!

Been here a couple of times now and it's small but perfectly formed! Very pleasant landlord and mixing with regulars is a breeze, with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. A good night out.

A homely country pub offering good value meals and cask beers. Sunday lunch is excellent "home" cooking.

Three of our party had the pensioners special - roast dinners/fish & chips. Tasty and good value. Lasagne off normal menu was ungenerous, luke warm and badly presented. Far too expensive for what was delivered. Still recommend this place for the pensioners deal, but not for the lasagne.

Great place for a drink & a Thai meal or traditional Sunday lunch

Good food and good beer (Timothy Taylor Landlord).

Lunchtime visit at this nice quiet village pub with reasonable priced drinks and food and friendly staff which was very nice 👍

Staff very pleasant and helpful and the food is just the best. I have just been back recently and the food is just as good, however they are now serving cheap prawn crackers that are like polystyrene instead of Thai crackers which is a shame, I know it's a small issue but why skimp on something that everyone loves.

Love this place .friendly staff & the landlords a real nice guy .recommend a visit

Lovely yummy breaky at a great price. comfortable surroundings and as always friendly staff. Great start to a day of christmas shoping kept us going all day

Not in any way posh - but great food and fantastic value. Service was friendly and efficient. Two of our party had the £4.95 pensioners special. They both had roast beef dinners, which were served with a Yorkshire pudding and plentiful vegetables/gravy. The special included sponge pudding and custard desserts. Highly recommend.

Great pub, great hosts lovely evening could not ask for more.

Absolutely lovely bar staff and the Thai restaurant in the back is, no joke, the best food I've eaten in the UK

Cracking breakfast very helpful staff

Excellent Thai food and great staff!

Fantastic food and plenty of choice. Great service and lovely atmosphere. A very enjoyable night we will def be going back.

Thanks to Stuart and his team at the Manor House for providing an outside bar for our wedding before dashing back to the pub the next to enjoy Sunday lunch for 30, followed by 'Lazy Sunday Afternoon' entertainment out on the lawn the next day. Lunch was sublime! Everything that we savoured was very fresh and all home made, delicious! Nothing was too much trouble and the service as well as the food was fabulous. Than you all for making our weekend a brilliant experience.

Been many times over the years and always great quality food at Exotic Thai, well worth the visit.

love this place and the food is beautiful xx

Haven't been for a few years and visited this evening to be met with a rude reception. IF YOU'RE NOT LOCAL YOU'RE NOT WELCOME, that is the impression given. Won't be going back

Amazing Thai food. Great service. Worth a visit.

Dropped in for lunch having passed by a number of times. It is a typical old village pub. There is quite an extensive menu and Breakfast is served until 2.30pm. Also a "Senior Citizens " menu is available. My wife had the Chicken and Bacon Salad and I had the Steak and Chicken salad. Both meals were well presented and contained plenty of meat. There was a selection of Beers available. It was a nice change not to be surrounded by TV sets. As previously mentioned it is a good old fashioned pub that does not pretend to be something it isn't, unlike many others. The young lady that served was very pleasant and attentive. We will certainly go again.

Popped in for a Drink and Sunday Lunch Young lady behind the bar very friendly Ordered Beef and Turkey lunch all served very hot with Yorkshire stuffing roast parsnips carrots peas cauliflower broccoli and leeks with bacon and extra gravy. Meals good value £8.95 would recommend if passing.

Called in today . Service was lovely and friendly meal was fabulous . Will defiantly be coming again .

Fine if a little underwhelming.

We were the only people in the restaurant on the evening we attended which speaks volumes. The menu is quite extensive but expensive considering the surroundings it is set in. We ordered starter and main course and when the food arrived we were very disappointed. Portions were mixed, some we received were not value for money whereas my particular portion was fair. Food was quite bland. When the bill arrived it was just short of £100 for the four of us so very expensive. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Great friendly atmosphere good choice of well kept beers. Good traditional Sunday Roast and good Thai food available most other evenings.

Fantastic service nothing too much trouble

Just passing through and not planning a full lunch out we stopped to keep us going, a beef bap not only filled the gap but was also delicious.

Nunca he comido mejor comida tailandesa que en el exótico Restaurante Tailandés.

One of the best cannot go a week without a visit.

Five star free music festival at the manor. Filongley.

Expensive restaurant and the food too

Vinimos aquí para mi padre en el cumpleaños de la ley para una comida de domingo. En un principio habíamos reservado de un restaurante cercano que los domingos cerrado demasiado temprano, así que busqué un otro restaurante en la zona que queríamos y encontramos este lugar. No había realmente ninguna calificación en tripadvisor, así que estaba un poco preocupado, pero era muy agradablemente sorprendido. Es un pub tradicional con sidra encantador y biter de barril. El personal es muy amable (incluso ofreció una pinta a mi suegro, ya que era su cumpleaños) y la comida era abundante y agradable. Todo a un precio muy razonable. Estoy totalmente de lo recomendaría si buscas un cómodo y agradable asadas con amigos o familia.

Local pub. Good food friendly staff.

Just passing on a work trip and popped in for a quick pint. Really nice, genuinely friendly welcome and a great selection of good beers. Inveralmond brewery's tight head is really good, and could have had abbot ale or Timothy Taylor's Landlord

Thai food, cooked and served by Thai people. Food is FANTASTIC, and reasonably priced. The pub area is also very good. A few ales to choose from and a wide range of spirits and wines.

Good selection of beers and a nice ambience. I've done a separate review for Exotic Thai, tho it is in the lounge section of the pub.

Good selection of beers. Food was excellent, served hot, good size portions, lots of choice and a good price. Downside, as a large party it took 2 hours from the first meal to be served to the final meal to come out.

On my first visit here I was greeted as a friend. Many subsequent visits have been due to the friendly landlord and staff, wonderful food and a well kept cellar including guest cask ales as well as the regular range of lager and cider

The Thai restaurant is amazing! Great quality food, simply amazing

What a beautiful place! Lovely, well kept Pub with the friendliest staff. Good choice of food and ales, nice and clean. Extra helpful, nothing too much trouble. Well worth a visit!

Friendly atmosphere great drinks. Food really enjoyable staff were warm and welcoming made us feel right at home.

Se trata de un antiguo pub antaño con los valores tradicionales. El duro trabajo personal, productos frescos todos fantásticamente preparado, presentada y servida. Me encanta el ambiente local y sí, el idioma de los clientes es "frutas", pero si quieres ir a un pub poncy con comida que se sirve en la terraza Pizarras y precios ridículos por favor ir a algún otro sitio y ahorrar el espacio para nosotros! Un lugar para gente de verdad.

Mi compañero, mi hijo de 5 meses de edad y su hermana fuimos para tomar una bebida por la tarde. Se recibió una serie de abusos por un representante , nombre incluye llamadas por el hecho de que mi hija me decidí a gritar y aparentemente estaba arruinando su tarde. Como consecuencia de ello, decidieron salir después me llama como fueron tan molestos. Me decidí a llamar al encargado, que convino en que no fue tratado correctamente y no estaba allí para tratar la situación, pero nos dirigimos a decirme que él también habría pedido a dejar que el ruido probablemente molesto otros clientes. No se puede permitir que nadie habla con 2 chicas jóvenes con un bebé la manera en la que el señor no! En resumen ... Si no eres un local ... Usted no son bienvenidos a menos que jugar al ser sus reglas. Evitar! 0 estrellas son más apropiados.

Gran pub, el personal amable y el restaurante tailandés a sirve comida fabulosa y altamente recomendada. El almuerzo de domingo también está disponible.

The drinks here are good. The food is good. The owners are friendly. The village is pretty. This is a good place to visit.

A great local pub. Great ales and a good Thai restaurant.

We as a family have followed the Restaurant Owners for many years, to numerous establishments The food is consistently good, and can be tailored to your own taste. A very friendly, family run restaurant. No complaints from me !
