Rugby Tavern in Warwick - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Seriously slow service. As there were eight of us we asked for separate bills. They messed it up and then they took half an hour to sort it out. The food was nice but we won't go again

Great place for a family dinner with a large menu and great service. Our food was cooked superbly and the waiting staff were friendly and polite which made the experience even better. Would definitely come back with family and friends

Had to great time here the food was great very good atmosphere excellent parking large beer garden to the rear a good selection of children's play equipment and the staff were very friendly especially Ryan. Thanks for a lovely evening

We were very happy, food was yummy well cooked & presented, reasonably priced drinks too & outdoor seating area . Had a gluten free menu so made it easy for friend to order what she wanted too with ease. Fast service & polite service, we all ordered food & it arrived together. We will defo recommend & be back again soon 🙂

Toilet bin overflowing and at 1:30 !! 1 meal did not arrive until the rest of us finished our meal, excuse was the order didn’t print properly . Very disappointing

Good food. Reasonably priced. Nice garden area

Came in yesterday and had a couple drinks with some friends, just catching up. All the staff on were lovely and thank you to kayley for bringing our drinks and food over when we ordered on the app!

Called in for a bite to eat. Quiet afternoon. The place needs a good clean, extremely sticky tables. Ordered a couple of non-alcoholic drinks. Which were given in bottles. And one glass which had 3 Types, YES 3 types of lipstick on it! When I took the glass to be changed, the man went through at least 10 glasses to find a nearly clean one. Whilst putting all the dirty ones back.! Then, he proceeded to scratch himself all over, forheard, beard, chest, not just once either.... We DIDN'T STOP for food. 🤢

Ordered soft drinks. Glasses the drinks were served in were filthy. Seeing that always puts me off a pub.

Nice boozer, with characters. Shame about the prices. But I suppose it is the same everywhere. What a sad reflection on a British tradition.

Hadn't been for a while and was pleasantly surprised,had 5 of their small plates between 2 of us and they were very good, quick service and reasonable price

Nice place .very polite .I felt at ease hear .so I will come show my face.

The staff could be a little more relaxed! Felt like I was facing a Sgt Major in a disciplinary action for taking pictures of Menu & Bar!!! Further to your patronising reply about taking photos of staff, I do know better!! Have u seen photos of your staff or anyone in my reviews? No! I did not and will not take photos of people. I am there to review your establishment not take photos of people or staff. Most establishment will let you unless you have something to hide

Nice place even if a little expensive

Been before and the food was really nice. This time it was awful Hunters Chicken - chicken very over cooked, salad going brown and slimy. Table was dirty (we arrived as it opened) menus dirty and sticky. Staff very friendly - the only good thing there!!

Standard pub grub. But ale was good.

Visited on Thursday night … the restaurant was very busy .. we tried out the new menu … food was delicious and service was great😊

Very good to relax and have a good beer!!

Had a table for 15 that was pre booked the manager Daniel made sure everything was sorted and gave us a very spacious table, excellent service and amazing food was amazing would definitely recommend the tavern friendly staff and great management

Waited over 20 minutes at the bar to be served, staff walking passed but ignored us so we walked out and took our custom elsewhere. Place is gradually going downhill

My Partner and I come here regularly, every visit is great! Food is never wrong, the prices I think are faultless and overall a very warm and welcomed feeling each and every trip. This making The Rugby Tavern the number 1 place to visit for lunch or a teatime meal. Today Sunday 12th RYAN who brought our food and a nice chap behind the till both made today another great experience. Thank you to everyone here and a special shout to the CHEF who never fails to dish up great food and to all the other hard working staff.

We live locally to the rugby tavern and regularly visit- great food, great staff, fair prices and a fun playground for children to play on outside. Lots of indoor and outdoor space too. We would definitely recommend! The chicken katsu curry is delicious!

Went with our now adult family as used to dine years ago when they were little. Natasha & Josh/Jake great staff. Knowledgeable, quick & good. We notice that there is always Management present even if he is just simply sitting at a table observing/working. This has turned Rugby T around & their reputation is now very good. It is always busy with good vibe. Now as we are retired we often go & enjoy a good meal.

This is my closest pub, it's not a quaint village pub but the building is lovely, big and welcoming with a car park front and back (and a small Sainsbury's next door and my fav chipshop across the road) the bar has a great 'local' atmosphere and popping in for a pint of Inches and a small organic Pino (10.64) is perfect! The food is basic, good and cheap and there is a lovely garden! Lots of screens for sport lovers and a pool table, an all round good small town pub, oh and the staff are great!

Visited for lunch, nice variety of dishes at great prices. Food was lovely.

Great food and brilliant service as always! Ryan was really friendly and professional - he’s a real credit to Greene King.

Spot on meal, lots of choice at reasonable prices. Main menu, also separate kids and senior menu. Find a table and order at the bar. Friendly, welcoming staff and plenty of parking. Can eat outside but maybe when it's a bit warmer. We will be here again for sure!

Thank you for delicious mushroom chilli! I'll be back for more X

I really enjoyed my time here at the rugby tavern as I live in Birmingham and over here to see my girlfriend , we organised to come here and have a drink and some food , and I can tell you it was next level our waitress Tilly was serving us with such joy and really made me and my girlfriends night , the food was brilliant and a wonderful selection of drinks. The parking was easy and in a brilliant location , the facilities and vibe were brilliant. And again a big thank you to Tilly for being a wonderful member of staff and making our nights.

Brilliant food and amazing energy in the place , no complaints from me amazing play area for kids and brilliant service from staff I can especially thank Tilly for her service Desert was amazing and the food was brilliant

This is our local pub and it delivers everytime! Amazing food and great staff that make everyone feel welcome. Special mention to Dan the manager who goes above and beyond for all customers. Thanks again

Edit 2024_1: I have removed my previous comment from January 2024 as everything seems back to my review from 2023 so think it’s fair to update this. 2023: Great quality food at a reasonable price. Staff are very welcoming and attentive. They always check you’re happy with everything when you’ve ordered a meal, which is so refreshing, as not many places seem to do this anymore or are too busy to bother. You can see the staff are very busy but they still always check you’re happy with whatever you have ordered.

Gammon over cooked. Waitress miserable, possibly short staffed and overworked.

The dedicated bar area is becoming more lively on a weekend . Food is good 👍 Always plenty of staff too .

This is a good pub for inexpensive wholesome food, mains in the daytime from £7.00, staff are friendly and helpful. There is ample parking.

Good food good beer nice service

A wonderful pub with a fantastic Manager Danny who runs a dedicated team of staff who are always happy to help customers. Would thoroughly recommend for a drink or for a pub meal.Has a buzzing atmosphere which always cheers you up.

Fantastic pub, great service , atmosphere and banter, great manager in Danny, and great Guinness. We’ve also eaten here, and the food is brilliant, well priced, and the best pies around. Fully recommend eve in the tav

Serves great food and great pints, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Pub is always clean and tidy and service is quick.

Went for lunch with a mate excellent value really good food Ryan and Kayleigh provided exceptional service Will come back again

Appalling. Food overcooked. Complained but no interest or action to rectify by staff. Avoid.

Was buzy an a good pint o bitter

A fantastic pub no matter what you are looking for! If your hungry the menu is great and at a good price. The beer choice is top draw and so many screens for the footy! Not to mention the staff are friendly and even at its busiest getting served is a breeze. Will defo go back!

We went for the seniors menu at lunchtime. It was fine but the portions are very small. Apparently seniors eat kids portions! It didn’t matter because it was lunchtime but I would not have been impressed for my evening meal. They do 2 for 1 apparently so unless you eat like a sparrow you would be better looking at that. I was with a friend and wanted it to be a pleasant meal out so no fuss or comments made at the time. The 6 miniature pieces of scampi and 10 chips served were dwarfed by the peas. The only good thing I never usually have enough tartare sauce but had plenty this time His 2 sausages came with a small portion of mash and a decent serving of peas and onion gravy - he def got the better deal. Desert was half a piece of brownie with a scoop of ice cream. Total for 2 with a drink each was £25. I dis take a photo of the portion, check it out.

Moved here last year and it’s become our local spot. A great welcoming pub for a few drinks. Friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere and a great accepting local crew. My partner and I love coming down a few times in the week to catch up with everyone and play a few games of pool. Would certainly recommend to any locals in the area, and anyone visiting nearby. 5*

Our must visit when we travel down to see our son from North Yorkshire. Relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff and excellent food especially the Gammon which is my usual choice. I would totally recommend.

Great little birthday lunch with family and two toddlers, great service from Ryan and Jack, thank you

Friendly atmosphere and nice staff.

Had chocolate brownie for dessert where was the sponge we only had a piece of soft chocolate with ice cream not good

Can I just say thank you so much to all the staff at the rugby tavern leamington spa we had a big party meal later afternoon it was such a treat thanks to everyone working there.

Another lovely meal, we try to visit every time we visit from North Yorkshire to our Son and family who live in leamington. I always have the Gammon which is delicious. Lovely staff, lovely relaxed atmosphere together with reasonable prices. Lovely in the summer when you can sit in the beer garden while our grandson is in the play park.

Confirmed booking for Xmas eve to turn up to be told they were busy; tried to squeeze 7 of us on a table for 6 with an extra chair that would’ve meant that person standing up every time staff tried to get past; fortunately another family offered us their table. Service was good with no complaints but the food was average at best; one of the steaks we ordered was simply inedible. Our local pub which has changed hands many times - this was the worst meal we’ve had there!

Came here for the first time with my partner straight from work quite busy for a Monday The food was Fabulous and piping hot absolutely delicious...The staff Were lovely and polite can't wait to go back next week

Always a fantastic time with great food at a great price . Superb service and great selection of drinks.

Great Christmas lunch , generous portions Starter Main and puds, staff excellent decorations lovely . Fab time Thankyou all

Excellent service from really friendly bar staff. Was slightly nervous about wha the food would be like as it was a last resort for us, but were very pleasantly surprised! Fresh, plentiful and great value for money.

Birthday meal for my wife on Saturday lunchtime was very pleasant. Hunters chicken was good, lasagne was excellent. Good service.

Cozy pub, where you can get some beer or even have a diner with a family. Friendly staff, quick service, good selection of food, children menu.

Nice and friendly, decent pub grub served with a smile.

Great food and great staff and had a go on there quiz lots of fun and the person that doing the quiz was very good with kids

Really friendly family pub lots of people watching the match . Nice to see so many kinds behaving in a pub

Went to watch the World Cup Rugby final, great vibe, beer, and food. It's definitely worth a visit. Staff are very pleasant and service with a smile. The atmosphere is excellent The starter plates, taco, etc, are the best. Go visit them.

Good food and excellent service, plenty of space.

Good inexpensive food and good service, just a bit short on atmosphere or it would be five stars.

Food and drinks very good as a pub should be. The service happens all the the counter, even when eat in you need to go to the counter - they can keep a tab open. Atmosphere is nice, however, depending which night you go - karaoke, pub quiz, matches - the vibe/atmosphere can be very different. Overall very good place, recommend it.

A regular lunch visit with a friend for great food at great prices , the senior menu is perfect for smaller appetites plus 2 courses, the staff can't do enough for you , so friendly and approachable especially*Ryan and Jamie* even when they are busy they have always accommodated us , if you want great food , great prices with great staff visit the Rugby Tavern, you won't be disappointed 👌

Great tasty food, served by friendly staff at sensible prices.

£4.50 a Carling , pool table area always busy and full of atmosphere, staff could be more attentive, helpful and a knowledgeable - no warm welcomes , no friendly service

Had lunch from the seniors menu...great value. Food was very nicely presented and tasted good. Portions not huge but plenty if you chose the 2 or 3 courses on offer. Copes well with 'numbers' too.

Good day out went for sunday dinner enjoyed it,we would go again.

The staff were friendly and pleasant. The food was good. Pleasant surroundings but with no atmosphere.

Great food and service, the place has a nice family atmosphere. Even on busy days, you don't wait long to get your food and drink, and it's still possible to have conversations at your table. That being said, there was a problem with the doors not being closed. Other patrons would swing the rear or side doors open and not close behind them, allowing large breezes to enter the place. The rear door would close automatically if the mechanism wasn't broken.

The food is good value and quick. Staff very friendly all the time. The beer is pretty expensive compared to independent pubs (about £1 per pint more) hence the lower rating. When I watched football there the seating seemed quite limited around the TVs but this may be because there was a rugby game on too

We haven't been for a long while . Now Part of green king chain , think a sizzler previous. Food was OK at a fair price . Typical simple pub fare. Free parking . Next to sainsbury's on main road . There is plenty of room inside for food or just drinking

Much better than before, it was worth going at short notice, we went for my birthday and they made the effort for 9 of us, so thank you

A nice local pub. Food isn't too bad either.

Came in for Sunday lunch with my elderly mother this past Sunday. Lovely meals! We both had the Duo of roasts. The beef was lovely and pink and the man taking my order even offered me mash as I don’t like cauliflower cheese. Excellent service & I will be returning very soon

Sat in garden and ate, so useful too, especially if you have kids playing, having table service for food and drinks !

Good local pub, good food and deals and good selection of drinks, staff are fantastic and friendly

Visited the Rugby Tavern today and was served very quickly by Mel a very charming and smiling member of staff also topped up my drink without asking a very efficient young lady

Very friendly with pleasant staff. Busy but not too crowded at lunch time. Food acceptable though portions on the small side. Reasonable value for money. Would visit again

Great place for an after work pint, lovely atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and welcoming

Went in for a quick drink and bite to eat, quick and friendly service. Will definitely be back again

Went in for the 2 for 1 cocktails stayed here all night. Great pub brilliant staff and fantastic food would highly recommend to anyone

We went for lunch and there were many flies in the room which made your meal unenjoyable as you had to keep swatting them away

Straightforward pub that serves tasty food.

Roast dinner was absolutely banging- the cauli cheese was the best I've had in a long time! Staff are great and have good banter!

Had the lunchtime sweet chilli chicken sandwich...it was foul, a sloppy mess of runny sauce that was more sweet than chilli, and my mum had the steak sandwich which was tough and unpleasant.

Very nice! Good atmosphere, well-made, tasty and affordable food with great, quick service from our servers Ryan and Jack!

Lovely experience and service. The food was fresh and tasty. Thankyou for reserving our crumbles. They were fabulous 😍

Great pub, quite busy, plenty of beers on tap and nice food with great staff

Food is good, service is quick and staff are friendly and ambience is relaxing. Great large back garden and safe for kids.

Really nice pub, good selection of beers, good price and really nice food. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Never disappointed when I visit the tavern. Tasty food & a great selection of drinks. We come at least twice a week. Staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you which is a bonus

The meal I just had is absolute amazing recommended fish and chips,gravy and mushy peas bosh. Specially the service from danny mannion and Megan the manager and the staff aswell fantastic. Clean and friendly environment. The beer service is absolutely bang on always there your...

Nice little pub Well worth a visit Lovely staff 😁👍 Didn't eat here But will do On my next visit 😁

Came here with family for Sunday Lunch. The food was quite overpriced and the toilets were in a poor state as well as playground equipment in the back that could pose a health issue. However the food tasted food and the staff were welcoming. Better...

We came for a meal a month ago and I had my favourite, gammon. It was lovely . Came back for my birthday, May 30th, ordered the gammon again. It was covered with loads of black pepper( I hate pepper) I spent ages scraping it off my food. There was no pepper when I came in April so I thought I was safe ordering it again. My mouth was burning all night. Staff were polite and service was quick though.

The lady behind the bar serving us was very rude for no reason. Definitely in the wrong job if you don’t like people. No pleases or thank yous, her face is saying "why the hell you come to my pub!". When we asked for a napkin she said "NAH" and walked off. Management needs to be aware of this person as she is scaring off customers. We are locals and this is not a one off. Same thing happened previously with the same person. She's just ruined our date night and we won't be coming back to the tavern again.
