Old School House Kitchen in North Warwickshire

Such a shame about this place. A lovely location and cant fault the food however the service was not good at all!! The drinks came out after the food had arrived and they weren’t even correct, we re-told them what we ordered and they still didn't come correctly the second time round so two of us ended up with no drinks. One of us also ended up without food due to this order being incorrect as well… twice. One member of staff, possibly the manager, had no sympathy and didn't really seem bothered about the continuous mistakes. His customer service skills deffo need to be worked on however the rest of the staff were more helpful.

Beautiful location and renovation is amazing. Staff very helpful, excellent communication skills customer service great. Food was delicious, fresh tasty and good value for money. Indoor and out door seating.

We had to wait 10 mins for a table as it was busy on a Saturday lunch time. Fine, don't mind. However, I do mind waiting 1 hour and 20 mins for my food!! No update or apology offered. Chef brought our steak pie, which had to be sent back to be warmed up and returned luke warm.... The pie sat on top of the mash and the mushy peas on top of the pie!!! What were they trying to hide? Not very flavoursome food and little meat in pie. Coffee not good either. Lovely looking venue. Outside toilet which is of course is cold in the winter months. Beware the Carpark has a closing time. So much promise, but poor delivery. Will not return. Better food and service at the Penshaw Farm shop/tea room.

One of my favourite places to go and it’s dog friendly too. The staff are so welcoming and the owners have done a great job restoring the buildings. Ideal for breakfast, snacks, cuppas and they also do a cracking Sunday dinner. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed which is another reason we keep going back. Nice family run business which we will keep supporting.

I literally fell in love with this place from the moment we pulled up! The building is stunning, you can see it’s been restored with love and care. The interior is super cute with lots of the original features still in place and little glimmers of its school house past. There is even an amazing little flower shop on site. We landed without a booking and the guys thankfully squeezed us in, despite it being incredibly busy. We opted for the winter broth with crusty bread, which was so tasty and just what we needed after a chilly walk along the river. After seeing the desserts coming from the kitchen we both decided we couldn’t not sample them. My lemon drizzle cheesecake was unreal, the biscuit was sweet and crunchy and the topping a creamy, zesty delight. The staff really made our visit, they were so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend giving them a try, we can’t wait to come back for the Sunday lunch as it looked tremendous.

Pre booked for the 1300 lunch slot. We were seated but it was 1330 before someone took our order. Drinks selection was very limited and the young lady did not know what drinks were available so I ended up with water. The same young lady took our order but the couple on the next table had been waiting longer & this caused a bit of friction. The food arrived and was very tasty and seasoned well, large jug of gravy went down well. I’m not sure if everyone else FOH had worked late the night before or had been under pressure before we came in but they were incredibly scatty. No knives and forks given, asking people who were waiting to order mains if they would like to order deserts and the confusion went on. We were going to have deserts and coffee but did not want to add any further stress to the people working so we went to the till and got the receipt. Great food but FOH needs help.

The inside and surroundings of the tea shop is lovely. Unfortunately the food on offer is certainly not. It is very below par, and if homemade as advertised I would suggest the chef needs to be retrained. The Quiche Lorraine looked anaemic, was watery, had soggy pastry and tasted bland. The beef brisket sandwich wasn’t much better, all bread and little filling. And not to mention the absolute lack of presentation on both orders.

Lovely setting, very friendly staff and full english breakfast was delicious. Coffee was good too. Will definitely return

Called here with a friend for a bite to eat and a cup of tea. Both of us chose the soup with the ham hock and a bread roll and tea. The tea came in the smallest teapot and was only sufficient for one cup. Extra hot water to top this up would have been charged at £1.50. The soup at best was lukewarm. We complained about the temperature and it was taken away. When a fresh bowl was returned it wasn’t much hotter. I would have sent that back too if I hadn’t been so embarrassed. Very disappointing.

Very poor experience. Wanted 2 coffees and 2 treats, not much to ask for. I wanted a weak Americano, so needed extra hot water. An extra £1.50. My friend wanted a strong Americano, so an extra shot- no choice of 1 or 2 shot Americano, which is standard in most coffee shops. For this, she'd have had to pay an extra £2.50, which the waitress cheerily told us in the tone if " its a bargain". We weren't expecting the Ritz, the building and decor are great,well restored, but we do object to being " ripped off"

Visited this cafe just by chance So glad we did The service was fantastic nothing was to much bother The food is very Good I had a Sandwich and my husband had the Gaint Yorkie wrap Very fresh and homemade Would 100% recommend visting this old School House Thankyou for a great Experience Will definitely be back

Excellent and friendly service. Lovely food served in an interesting and nostalgic setting. Would visit again when in the area.
