Queen and Castle in Warwick

Our host Stuart was fantastic - very friendly and helpful.

Amazing service and food choices, roast beef was incredible. Sara was our hostess nothing was to much trouble and would definitely recommend, well done queen & Castle

Great food, we were in a big party so a mixed bag of reviews, but mostly positive.

Amazing food and great service - had a wonderful meal and staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Food and drink top quality

This is only our second visit as we don't live locally, and we were pleased to see Stuart was looking after us again. This is a lovely, friendly place, with fabulous food, and the staff are always cheerful and helpful. Stuart gave us extra information to help us choose from the lovely menu. Looking forward to our third visit soon.

Always a pleasure when we are greeting by Sara, Such a lovely and happy lady always gives us 10/10 service thank you for everything :)

Food and service was excellent Stewart was very good the old building was brilliant I am from the USA enjoyed the restaurant very much I will return on my next visit.

Really enjoyed the Sunday Lunch. Its difficult to get a good Sunday lunch these days, so we were pleasantly surprised. Staff were very friendly and a great atmosphere in the Restaurant

Excellent service and great food

Food was lovely, but the dishes weren't as big as expected for the price paid. Service was a bit slow, but it was a busy Saturday night.

Very good atmosphere. Food was also good.

Warm friendly atmosphere. Staff excellent. Great food

Lovely meal, and fitted in without booking on a Friday night

The Queen and Castle has become a firm favourite for us. Such a lovely warm welcoming space, with beautiful decor and very comfy seating! The food is always wonderful and never disappoints, with an excellent and extensive choice of drinks. The staff are very attentive, and on our last visit, we were looked after by Stuart, whose cheerful and friendly manner enhanced our experience. We asked for a recommendation, and he suggested a wonderful home made pie, which was indeed delicious. We were very well looked after, and will definitely be back again soon.

Always friendly, accommodating and excellent service. You can rely on great food at affordable prices - thank you

Had a lovely lunch here after visiting the castle nearby. Perfect way to end our trip. Loved the squash starter. 🎃 Service was lovely!

Came here for an evening meal a few weeks ago and were really impressed with the wonderfully cooked fresh food and incredibly attentive staff!

Very good food, priced reasonably for the venue, good service and free, large car park. Very close to castle if you wanted to stop by for a bite to eat. Definitely would recommend

Best Sunday lunch in Kenilworth

Expected the experience to be better than I received. Meal took an hour from ordering to bring brought to table.i had ordered the steak and merlot pie . Pastry was so hard it needed the supplied extra gravy to make it edible. In the I was there time no staff came to table to enquire how meal was .

Only went for drinks quite busy early Friday evening, friendly guy serving, not many places to sit just for a drink as most of the tables are for dining, glass light shades above the bar at eye level were filthy, full of dust and dirt, wouldn’t take much to clean them ! not nice

Venue and meal was lovely. Customer service was very poor. by one particular waitress. She was rude, unhelpful and didn’t know the menu when I asked questions.

Thanks to Stuart for a great afternoon at this outstanding pub.

Very good food at reasonable prices. It was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. A relaxing place to have lunch, after visiting the castle, where they offer baked potato lunches only, and the toilets are very small.

Excellent food (the garlic bread pizzete as starter turned out to be a whole extra pizza, wow!), great service from Stuart & the rest of the staff, a memorable lunchtime experience in a very pleasant restaurant with views of Kenilworth Castle over the road. Large carpark & plenty of outdoor seating too - if only the British summer would provide some suitable weather!

We were expecting a little more from the establishment. It seemed to focus more on customers buying food rather than those who would like to finish their afternoon at the castle with a traditional pint of ale. Shame as if we could have seen the menu, we may have stayed to eat too.

I’ve been to QC many times and the service is just spectacular! Stuart was so attentive and friendly with me and my clients. I’d definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice atmosphere and good food. Thank you QC team, thank you Stuart!

Scored down on food as fish was all batter with hardly any cod there - no offer of reduction on bill and expected better considering the prices. Overpriced and food was mediocre.

I didn’t eat here this time, but had an issue. I rang and spoke to Amanda. A little while later, Amanda actually went out of her way and rung me back because she wanted to help me sort out the issue. Amanda spent time on the phone with me, and helped me sort this out. Never has anyone went out of their way like that for me before from a restaurant. I wanted to leave feedback to let Amanda know how much her help and time is appreciated, and how much of a credit to the queen and castle she is. We have also eaten here before. The food is amazing. ThankYou again. We’ll be back soon

We ordered pizza which was really awful - tasted worse than a defrosted one from a supermarket, it wasn’t even warm and cheese not melted fully, tasted like they microwaved it but not quite long enough 🙄 I can’t comment on any other food since we only had pizza & chips but based on what I wouldn’t ever recommend this place for food. The larger was nice though & beer garden big & pleasant (hence two stars). Service wasn’t amazing either as we got no napkins, no cutlery or salt and paper 🤷🏼‍♀️

An absolutely beautiful Sunday dinner the food was second to none best Sunday lunch I think we've had and we've had a few but a special mention to issy who made the whole dining experience a pleasure so warm and caring of our needs and so attentive cannot be faulted and must be an asset to the pub to be cherished

Lovely food service and atmosphere as always

This was our second visit. Food is absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared and presented. Staff are attentive and service is smooth. Thumbs up to Freddie, our server. Polite, friendly and excellent service with attention to detail. Portions are a good size and food is high quality served in a well decorated, comfortable Environment.

We had an amazing evening for my mums birthday, and Freddie was fab! We were a bubbly 3 and he had such patience with us! Thank you Freddie! Food was lovely and so was the wine! :)

Great food. We were served by Stuart - very polite and efficient. Would definitely recommend The Queen & Castle to anyone.

This place was beautiful food was lovely too

Very enjoyable lunch. Our waiter, Stuart, looked after us very well.he was patient and attentive

Lovely pub right opposite the castle they even have tables with a view so pretty and great food and service.

Had lunch there this week. The 'musac' in the front bar was too loud for us so we ate in the main restaurant. The receptionist there was too busy on the phone to acknowledge our presence, but other staff were fine .The menu looks OK but the food was a little disappointing. Not exactly bad but lacking quality. The fish was a bit over cooked and rather covered in sauce and the new potatoes were very obviously re-heated. But the building, the garden and the general environment are good. Price not too bad.

The Queen and Castle has such potential, with its prime location and lovely outdoor space. Unfortunately, every time we have visited the garden when the weather is nice, all the tables are full of dirty dishes, glasses, and trash. There appears to be plenty of staff, who will deliver food, then walk away and leave behind all the dirty items from previous guests. We watched many people move dirty things to other tables so they could sit down and also saw people simply leave when they saw the condition of the tables. Such a shame and missed opportunity. The management should be ashamed.

Bus the tables in the outdoor space if you don’t want your customers to feel like they are eating in a skip.

I'm not sure where to start tbh.

A cute little place right across from the castle. Great food, drinks, and service. Stuart was very helpful!

Had lunch there and food was delish! Stuart (our waiter) gave us a really nice service and really patient with us..bar staffs are very friendly!

Great family friendly pub with fantastic views of the castle!

Gorgeous place , absolutely lovely menu and the food was amazing I had the roast lamb steak with potatoes, veggies and red wine jus , hubby had fish and chips and he said it was lovely we ate everything. Also dog friendly in the bar

Lovely lunchtime experience today, our waiter Stuart was great!

Alfie kept paying me compliments on my hairdo. Great chap and a great guiness

Went for lunch on bank holiday Monday. Car parking is free but limited and we were very lucky to get a space. Be warned in peak periods! Very friendly service. Food was great, but took some time to arrive. Cocktails were excellent. I would certainly go back.

Amazing wine and dine meal food was amazing and just enough with each serving

Me and my wife went here on a weekday evening, we both had starters which were clearly packaged and frozen, We proceeded to have steaks which tasted like nothing and presented poorly and i had the prawns which were dry and bland, the drinks were fantastic and so was the service, would recommend for a few drinks but certainly not the food

Very nice place ,excellent food. And good service. Parking you have to put your car registration number on a tab as you go in.

One of the best pub lunches we’ve had in ages. Exceptional food and good service. Price was reasonable considering the work that went into that grub. Congrats to the team

We had a lovely time, our server Stuart was a very good waiter. He was very engaging and accommodating. The food was delicious, we will definitely come back.

Stopped over for a quick lunch on the way back to Surrey and were very pleased with the vegetarian options on the menu and the choice of drinks. Very friendly service from Stuart and Sarah

We hadn’t visited for a while but have previously enjoyed many excellent meals here. The restaurant was very quiet, and the serving staff were very attentive. Food was very tasty, but disappointingly served rather too quickly - we had just finished our starters when the plates were cleared and our mains arrived immediately. Probably due to the restaurant being so quiet and chefs didn’t have mush to do! We did wonder whether the staff were holing for an early finish. We will return, but the visit was not up to the usual standard.

Stuart was the most friendly server I’ve ever met, great food would highly recommended

Stuart is so friendly and a great waiter would definitely come back

Incredible lunch with fantastic service from our new friend Stuart

Had a lovely lunch at the pub, really quick service from the staff and food was great. A great pub and garden area, will be coming back many more times!

Fantastic pub. Great management! Visited again recently, lovely pub to visit with the kids..the outdoor beer garden and park is perfect for them 🙂

This review is based on a drinks only trip. After living in Kenilworth for many years it is beyond disappointing to see the state of the Q&C’s beer garden. First impressions from the car park are tables piled high of dirty plates and drinks and litter on the floor. There were plenty of staff on shift and yet no initiative to clear up. The men in our group used the toilet and there was sick in the sinks which rather than being cleared up just had tape over. It’s unclear whether staff need further training or if the problem is bone idle management. The Q&C should be the diamond of Kenilworth but as it stands it is overpriced and severely under delivers.

Blimey the foods overpriced & poor quality The staff are fabulous friendly helpful & cant do enough The drinks are very reasonable But the food is pre packaged not presented very well let alone cooked to the best

thank you for a good meal in a lovely pub

Very nice food and excellent service from Stuart

Fabulous place and we were well looked after with our accessibility needs. Food was delicious

Great food and excellent service from Stuart!

Lovely lunch with friends after a visit to the castle. Service from Stuart very friendly.

A little disappointed today, some service would of been nice, asked for a couple of things from the (very young staff) just to get a point in a rough direction, and when ordered drink we even had to remove our own bottle tops! Sorry can’t comment on the food as we decided to go elsewhere 🤷‍♂️

Lovely pub and amazing service. Stuart was amazing. Food is quite average.

Lovely food and fabulous service from Stuart. The kids loved the hot chocolate bomb!

Food and wine great, service good. Had low level rave music while eating dinner upstairs

Fantastic food, great location and very friendly staff

The food was excellent particularly the steak and the service by Stuart first class

A lovely lunchtime treat with a friend. The food was tasty, well presented and the service was excellent.Thank you Stuart

Lovely pub, good pub food. Stuart was fantastic!

Had such a terrible service experience at sister pub The Kings Arms, Knowle so delighted that we had such a great server in Jade. Food fab but she was just wonderful and made last lunch in U.K. so lovely. Thanks Jade & co

Stuart was an amazing server! Food was great and we left very satisfied.

This place was great. Very relaxing. Good food, and our server Stuart was fantastic!

A big thank you to Stuart for seating my family! He was welcoming and kind to my party traveling from America. Food was great (especially dessert)! We recommend this restaurant.

A big thank you to our server, Stuart! Great food and great service

Stuart was excellent food was good too

Lovely Sunday lunch! Great service from our waiter Freddie…will be back again and would highly recommend!

food was superb and Freddie was exceptional today. 100% recommended

Great food and cosy atmosphere. Great service by Freddy

We visited today for the third time and as always have been impressed by the food, the service and the lovely decor and atmosphere. We were served by Stuart who was really attentive; he spotted that one of us was celebrating a birthday, and gave us a lovely dessert on the house to share which was a lovely touch. Thank you once again for a great meal.

Stopped for lunch after a visit to the Castle. Service in the bar and restaurant was great. Stuart looked after our order and service; very friendly and professional. Food was lovely, well cooked and tasty! Will be back!

Characteristic English pub atmosphere with adjoining garden and possibility of tasting traditional dishes. The selection of beers is decent. The accompanying platter is good and the cuisine is discreet. Limited table service, you choose from the paper menu, go to the cashier to order, pay and return to the table: a bit cumbersome. Good parking

The food was very good; I really enjoyed the tempura prawn sandwich and my friends the panzanella salad. Excellent service as usual from Stuart.

Warm and friendly staff Fantastic food and service

Great service. Excellent food. Beautiful restaurant.

Amazing Sunday lunch (bottomless gravy is a winner) with delicious cocktails and dessert. Fantastic, personable service from Stuart. Will definitely be back.

Good food Good people Drinks available

Lunch with friends, we were greeted by Stuart who was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We were recommended to try the whole lemon sole which was cooked by a very talented chef named Pav, and cooked to perfection! We will definitely visit again soon

Unfortunately despite i really like their food today i have reserved a table for us to have dinner with my colleagues and after 1 hour we sat there and just ate our meal staff came up to tell we need to leave in 20 mins. Nobody informed me about this when i called them for reservation that we can only sit for 1.5 hour? It was really embarrassing i organised that dinner and we had to leave very early. It would have been better if i choose another restaurant obviously.

Excellent food in a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is kind and professional. It has a large car park and inside/outside tables, much appreciated on sunny days. The dirty burger is really good. We had different dishes like chicken leek and cheddar pie, pan-roasted lamb rump, panzanella salad with beef filet. All were very tasty and happily eaten.

Very nice place but I think they might be understaffed as no tables are being cleaned. There are dirty plates and glasses everywhere and people are just stacking them up on some random tables to clear the space for themselves

We were served by Stuart who was delightful and attentative host with good humour and not overpowering. The food was delicious well presented and tasty. The atmosphere was (in the day) a bit lacking and the building has a weird mix of modern graffiti art and old style tavern with oak beams. The building could do with a lick of paint especially the ceiling.

Stuart gave us perfect recommendation. The chilli salmon special was excellent. The trio dessert was also very good with the lemon tart the stand-out

Excellent meal, great service, many thanks Stuart.
