The Black Pug in Warwick

This is not only our local but also a good pub . Well kept beer and food. Big good garden in summer and now with added sunshine since the covid tent has come down. Family and dog-on-lead friendly

What a lovely pub. Greeted by Adam, very welcoming and reassuring as had coeliac daughter with me. Knowledgeable about allergens on menu and what would be suitable for my daughter to choose from. Extra bonus is its also very dog friendly and we were able to enjoy a delicious meal whilst the dog enjoyed being sat with us. I had the creamy chicken which was lovely. Portions sizes were good not too much but plenty to feel full. Will definitely return, the only thing I would say is put the log burner on at about 3pm! We visited on a very cold day! Overall staff were lovely, food was great and it's a nice pub.

Great pub / restaurant with an excellent choice of food, including good veggie options. We visited on a rainy autumn day but there's a huge beer garden that would be great in the summer. The service was great, thanks to Adam and Shane, and the food was excellent.

We went during the day on a Monday. Was surprised to be offered table service. Staff were very friendly and the food was very tasty.

Always such a friendly pub, had a great chat with Adam who was so welcoming, have always found the food great too. Recommend.

After waiting more than one hour, the burgers arrived cold 🥴.

Service was dreadful. Waited over 40 minutes for main course. I had fish & chips. Fish was very tasty but batter very crispy & hard to cut. Chips were awful, no substance to them & cold. Waited again for sweets & coffee. Very disappointed.

We ate a family meal here with toddlers. Although we booked a table, there were a lot of people standing up drinking in the room we were in, so it was loud and didn't feel relaxed - it would be nicer if people drinking /eating were zoned better. The staff were friendly and they managed to bring our food all at once. The food took a long time to come as we were a large table, but we preordered, which I thought might speed things up a little. The food was okay. We were disappointed that the veggie sausages were mashed vegetable ones rather than a protein alternative. Also the menu had no salad or vegetable options which was a shame.

Excellent pub with great food. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely meal at The Black Pug. The staff couldn’t have done any more for us, from the initial reservation, to the service whilst we were there. If we are ever back in the area we will be sure to return. Thank you.

Took over 40 mins to get a burger even when it was quiet and my burger came burnt to a crisp. I asked for a replacement and all it tasted of was oil no flavour at all. My chips were stone cold and very small portions for the price I would not recommend this place to anyone

Best chips in Warwick! Gorgeous atmosphere & amazing staff!

Great atmosphere inside and out in the huge garden. It was handy as close to our guest house and well placed when we were exploring the town, so we frequented it several times for drinks.. We never ate there so cannot comment on the quality of the food. Staff efficient, welcoming and friendly.

Good experience today. Obviously that requires Good company but the food, drink and everything else about the venue contributed to a great occasion

The beer selection was poor. Marmalade and citrus flavours only joke. So, We had to go elsewhere for a meal and drink. What's the world coming too 😔

We were a table of 6, had a private little room which was lovely and cosy. Everything was clean - but table was sticky. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We went on a Sunday and had Sunday dinner, burgers and pizza. All were delicious and good portion sizes. There was a very long wait for mains and desserts, over 40 mins each. We were there over 2 hours and only had the 2 courses. 2 of our desserts didn't arrive, the member of staff we asked for help was argumentative saying we hadn't ordered them, we had to show a receipt as proof we did, then she grabbed our dessert but didn't apologise just blamed their system. Overall, lovely clean place and nice food, but the wait spoiled it.

Informal setting in the large back garden. Good hamburger and various beers

Quite expensive for nothing really! Mediocre food, expensive drinks, and not so great service.

Sticky table, dirty glasses and food was (very) late. We were told we'd get a free drink on the house to compensate for the late meal, but it showed up on the bill anyway... Not sure we'll come back here any time soon!

Lovely food and experience and great service provided by Jake and Adam x

The food (roast) cooked til it was uneatable. Roast beef like leather, roast pork very dried. Roast potatoes hard inside, roast carrot, parsnip are so hard you can't cut it. Children chips coated with pepper. For £17 to £21 dinner left much to be desired.

Great pub good food and service with great beer garden and outdoor bar

Visited the black pug for a family gathering. Lovely garden for the children and nice atmosphere. Ordered the Paris Stilton burger which for the money could of been a lot better. The food that came out seemed to have been done in a hurry. Nice place for a drink but wouldn't eat there again.

We came to the black pug to celebrate our friends’ last day of being engaged. We ordered 4 Aperol Sprirz at the bar and went to sit down. As we were about to come and order food a lovely young gentleman came over and took our order for us. We ordered another 3 Aperol Spritz and a bottle of Prosecco with some different food options. We had to move tables because of the thunder storm. The young man came back and served us again whilst being covered in rain. We asked him for his name and he said Matthew, he also said that Craig is the other one running around too. We had a really lovely experience today and will definitely come back again soon!

Real ale and fabulous pub garden.

Very nice pub to enjoy drinks and food!

Had a great Sunday roast for my sons birthday with his children, staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was very good, I would definitely recommend the Black Pug.

Long story short, we’re so thrilled with everything about this place, it goes on our list, right up there in the top ten pubs between Warwick and Coventry. For starters, they saved us a parking space – always a bonus, It was reasonably easy access for my dad who uses two walking sticks to get around - only two steps to get down from the outside to the bar, and only one if you go the front way. Cannot commend the staff enough for their friendly, caring attitude - they were all happy to go above and beyond, particularly Adam and Justin. Their own brand lager was delightful on one of the hottest days of the year cell phone so far, and the mid-priced Argentinian Malbec was yummy. I cannot imagine why someone found the portion sizes too small, we both had the club sandwich and ended up taking a doggy bag home with half of the tasty triple-decker and the perfectly cooked chips. I can't believe it’s taken us 15 years of meeting every Friday to discover this place! In our defence, we generally met halfway between Warwick and Coventry, and targeted country pubs, until this year when my dad reluctantly gave up his driving licence at 88. One thing's for sure – we’ll be back every month from now on.

Fabulous visit, great food & service from Sean who was a super star, this lad needs a pay rise!

The food was good, but my vegetarian mates were not happy with the veg. bugger

Nice friendly atmosphere good food good service 👌

The Black Pug Pub in Warwick is a charming and inviting spot that boasts a warm and welcoming ambiance. The pub features a spacious beer garden, perfect for soaking up the sun with friends or family.

We came in for the football and it was an amazing experience! When England finally scored the pub erupted with joy and cheer and it felt so fantastic to be apart of. We’re looking forward to coming to see all the other England games and becoming one with the community! I would definitely recommend this pub to all friends and family. Especially since the beer garden is humongous!!

I have recently moved to Warwick and find it great every time I visit The Black Pug. I pop in for a coffee after walking my dog and often visit with my granddaughters for some food. Friendly and welcoming staff. Would always recommend!

We found the staff to be really friendly here and enjoyed sitting out in the back garden in the Sun to have our food. The burgers were tasty as well as excellent chips. A perfect place to enjoy a drink and food in the sunshine.

Staff too miserable first time in a long time I haven’t tipped

Went here today for breakfast,had a small cooked breakfast, sausage and bacon burnt, egg frazzled, hash browns missing on two breakfasts, they brought hash browns out, and when tried was still frozen in the middle, we did say to the bar staff about this he said I will pass it on, been here before and always had good food, won't be going back.

Absolutely disgraceful. One of the managers is disgusting to the customers. Must have a very sad life disrespecting women who drink in this pub and speaking to them awfully. Got it first hand myself. Told me and my friend that we were fat and disgusting while smoking outside. Absolutely vile human and it’s just allowed. Not be coming back that’s for sure…

I have waiting half hour for my burger, when I asked the lady she said burger need 40 minutes, 40 minutes passed someone come to me said next order is me so wait more 10 minutes, so sorry I can’t wait , just refund, thank you First time and last time been there I guess *£16.5 one burger that experience not nice

Out on the Pug Walk, good beer and lovely kebab street food

VERY SLOW SERVICE!!!! The restaurant missed our booking for a party of 15 despite we rang the day before to confirm. The table was NOT ready and not cleaned at all. The food was SO SLOW it took almost an hour for everything to arrive (not at the same time, the first person finished 45 minutes before the last person got food). Very unprofessional kitchen and untrained staff. Drinks are ok but pricey. Would not come back.

They don't know what's in the menu exactly

The food was delicious and loved how nice the interior of the pub is will definitely be back again !

Despite lots of stressful tech issues for the team we had a lovely time at the Black Pug!

Had lunch here today with two friends .food good with plenty of choice.service good and friendly .

Ran out of beer, lots of menu items not available, but what they did have was tasty. Staff were great...

Food was ok - it was pub grub, Sausage and mash was nice as were the pies. Service was so slow and they missed our desserts and we had a very long wait. They did Comp' some stuff so that was good they acknowledged it. However the Knickerbocker glory that they sold should go under trades description act. Is was so small it would have been better to call it ice cream and some fruit in a tub. Pointless giving long spoons - It would have been better with teaspoons. I hope things get better for them as on the whole it is a nice place and this may have just been an off day.

Lovely pub. Had lunch and drinks here. Came back in the evening. Had drinks, atmosphere, excellence and also having breakfast.The Breakfast was excellent Pictures attached . The Black Pug was one of the best things in Warwick

Burger at £16.50/£17 is bordering on daylight robbery. Felt like an £8 burger with a slice on unmelted cheese, a cheap burger bun and chips served on a fancy bit of wood. 25 mins for a drink, 45 for food, all to be served a very disappointing meal. Decent atmosphere if you want to watch the sport, and to be fair the staff were trying their best don’t want to have a dig at them. Just think the value for money isn’t there on the food at all. Pricing structure all wrong as it got our expectations up

I recently visited the Black Pug for Mother's Day with my other half and his mum, after seeing some of the other 'Pugs' on Instagram for a while. They took our booked at very short notice and were extremely accommodating. It's a really cosy space, good vibes, the food was so tasty and the staff we incredibly attentive on what would have been a very busy day for them. Thanks very much for looking after us!

I always love visiting the black pug. Everyone is super friendly and can't do enough to make you have a enjoyable experience.

The black pig is one of the most amazing restaurants we have ever been to. We celebrate all our special moments there. I booked a reservation to make sure we got a window seat for my boyfriends birthday, they were very accommodating, the staff is always amazingly friendly, the deviled egg of the day is one of my favorite things ever, and the food is always amazing. Every. Single. Time. And I’m a food snob lol. There are not many restaurants I would even leave a review for. But the black pig is worth the trip, the money, just all of it. I hope they stay open forever and ever and ever.

Super busy, whilst it was lovely we were packed in and hard to enjoy food. This may be due to it being a Friday night but has put me off visiting at the weekend again. Otherwise it was lovely

Friendly, helpful staff, great food at this dog friendly pub!

Tried their "new" share platter roast that they introduced yesterday, although it looked good the food was luke warm and the beef tough... hopefully with some improvement of dishing it up hot and serving to customer sooner will impress clientele..

Great food, great beer, great service, log fire, real english pub. Brilliant!

A pub I will definitely revisit food first class dogs welcome

Xmas do for the family. Good food and great service. We had the room in the corner to ourselves so was a bit chilly in there but the atmosphere in the pub was great.

Beautiful pub, lovely food and wonderful staff! We had brought my old, senile dog in and the staff were very patient when he began to bark. If I didn't live so far, would come and visit The Black Pug more often!

Brilliant pub with great atmosphere

We went today as they do deals on burgers 2 for £20.00. Burgers we're great really good value for money.

Came here for a work party, had a great time! Staff were very accommodating, and even gave us a private room that had become available! Food was pretty good, although the all day breakfast wasn't great at all.

A great refit. Well worth a visit... Love the Tiny Rebel beer!

A very charming place. A wonderful terrace and tastefully placed. They allow 🐕

Car parking. Lovely atmosphere with service and a smile 😊 love this venue❤️😘😘😘 fab music 🎶 xxxx

Atmosphere of 10 but perhaps it is not an ideal place to eat. We went for breakfast and tried the Eggs Benny and the Baked Greekish Eggs. The eggs benedict were overcooked so they didn't come close to being as we expected. The Greekish eggs were not particularly tasty either, the cheese was potentially soft and we missed a little salt and pepper in both dishes. The atmosphere is a 10. It is undoubtedly a place that is perfect for having a beer with friends and listening to live music. High price for the quality of the food. The service was good.

Great little pub, good prices and the food was excellent.

Loved sitting outside and having a drink. It's got a huge garden compared to the Leamington Pugs. There's plenty of gluten free food options - the pizza is especially good!

Lovely garden but food waiting time on Sat evening is 70 mins, so likely my last time there. Also the food is not impressive.

Enjoyed chilling in the garden while waiting for our food. My kiddo ordered the PFC which was very flavorful. Would highly recommend. Same for the filthy chips. In fact, everything we ordered was great. I don't think you can go wrong. Even a "basic" Caesar salad was far from.

As a vegetarian I ordered onion rings and received onion rings with a battered octopus. Getting a refund is expected however I wouldn’t come back and trust their food again.

Food and drink very nice, more expensive than expected and watch out foe the service charge

A nice pub in warwick friendly staff and it has a nice beer garden lots of largers and ciders and other drinks.

It is very quirky inside and has a great selection of drinks. We didn't eat, but the seating area outside looked great, and the menu looked good

We waited 45 minutes for 4 breakfasts. It was only when we asked for an update on our order that we received any customer service. When it did arrive, one of the plates was missing bacon and the other one had REALLY unripe avocado. The menu described it as 'smashed avocado' but what we got was avocado chunks which were inedible as they were so hard.

A really lovely pub with a gorgeous outdoor area and fantastic staff. My only recommendation would be to further expand the vegan options (building on the great veggie options).

Nice garden to sit and relax. Dog very friendly. Staff helpful and pleasant

Great pub, great food...nice pint and a tasty Nasi Goreng after a paddle down the Avon... perfect! 🤠

That's my favourite pub, 100% recommend 👌

Visited Thursday evening - great garden and service. The dinner menu is extensive but we all agreed that nothing really jumped out... Quality was good, portions were on the small side for the price. As a pub for drinks and a quick bite, fantastic. For dinner... I'd look elsewhere.

A great pub with parking and a sizable beer garden. Even has swings for the kids. There is a great atmosphere which combines the old and new. They have themes evenings and Tuesdays is quiz night. The guest ales are always a bonus for a great night out

Wow wow wow. Where do I begin with this place?? This is by far one of the best places we've had Sunday lunch (and we love a good roast!). I am vegetarian and so had the nut roast and my husband had the beef & chicken. It was delicious!! The portions sizes were incredible, you get such good value for money. It's also dog friendly had has such a welcoming atmosphere. Shame we love 1 hour 40 mins away but we will certainly be returning soon, it was that good!!!

Not the best quality, not well prepare, poor selection of beverages

Highly priced poorly kept cask ale served by people who didn't seem all that bothered.

Nice pub with a good selection of drinks and food. Large beer garden

Really enjoyed our visit and the staff accommodated us really well as we wee a big party. Food was excellent too.

Came here for lunch on our way back to Manchester. Great outdoor space, definitely a plus if you travel with children or dogs. Food was good and so was the service. We waited a bit for the food and the overall could have been a little bit warmer. The roasted potatoes were a bit on the burnt side, while some of the veg needed a bit more cooking. They were all still tasty. Meat was cooked well. The gravy could have been a bit thicker but that is just a preference. I would recommend and come back if in the area.

Beautiful place, but high prices and okay food. Must visit garden during summer.

Awesome pizza decently priced, especially on Mondays with the 2 4 1 deal. Friendly helpful staff. Straight shot from Warwick Castle to end the day well before driving home.

Nice pub. Expensive! diet coke pint on tap £3.50 Burger ( the egg man) and chips £16.50 You don't get that many chips in a tiny bucket, no salad, small container of coleslaw. Burger was massive and taste good but still left feeling hungry afterwards. So for £20 meal it's poor value. They do a deal apparently 2 burgers for price of one but that isn't available on Sundays. Nice setting for the pub and the beer garden is lovely.

Food was so so nice. I had a spicy chicken burger. (Harrisa chicken)and my boys had the the egg man burger and chips. The chips are the best I've had in long time

Great pub/garden Burger £15.50 ! well over priced for average patty tbh ...never even bothered to bring cutlery with food to table in garden.

£7 for a pint of Neckoil..... You're having a laugh

Nice little pub, great outdoor space that has its own bar and is very long and spacious. Friendly bar staff too.

Beer garden lovely. As were the real ales. Good service.

Great food and excellent service. Big portions be warned. 👍🏻

Didn't eat but food looked great , great beet garden

Very nice meal that we had on Sunday . only let down was the price range it came to £60 when asking should had been £8 pounds each apart from that the meal was tasty staff was helpful they work hard Thank you Mr Mrs Furniss would come again .Try keep the price down about .

Pre booked a table for two. Arrived and were seated on a small table by the window. Ordered food at the bar, starters and mains. Food all came out at once which was a shame given that the menu clearly shows starters and mains. The waitress did offer to see if the kitchen could keep our mains warm but we declined. This also happened to another table of customers so be aware. Food was OK but by the time we'd eaten starters, the main meals were not very hot.

Lovely pub, great food and service
