The Denbigh Arms in Rugby

Went for food on Friday. Both my husband and I had the sirloin steak. Best steak we've had for some time. The presentation is great and the extras give the meal restaurant quality. Good selection of wine and beer. Desserts always of high quality.

Really nice meal and excellent service from the staff

Good friendly pub, great food and good beer selection. Relaxed environment and dog friendly.

A proper country pub with great food and drink in a great setting. Can't go wrong!

We had the supper menu great value for money and good food 😋

Terry and Ethel Preston We had a meal at The Denbigh last night and excellent it was too. Both the starter and main course were excellent I had the Pidgin breast for starter and it was really tasty I then had the pork belly that was not too fatty and was really tender super. We didn’t have a DESSERT as there was no option for a Diabetic. As with most restaurants pubs they cater for vegetarian and vegan (which is by CHOICE) but diabetics have a medical condition and as it’s type 1 caution has to be taken. Thanks for a great meal and we shall be back again.

Lovely traditional local pub. The staff were friendly, and the food was excellent! As vegetarians, we were very pleased with the vegan and vegetarian options on the Sunday menu. The dessert menu also had lots of choices. You will need to book a table for Sunday lunch as it's very popular. We will be visiting again!

Food lovely, but sort your sticky tables out...please!!! Thought we'd give an evening meal a go at this place as it gets good reviews. First impressions aren't great to be honest. The place feels like it needs a refurb and it doesn't feel very cosy. At first we were going to eat in the bar area, but it didn't feel very welcoming and all of the tables were sticky. So we moved through to the restaurant area. Again all the table were very sticky - most off-putting. I wanted to walk out at this point, but my wife encouraged me to stay. Got the menus and to be fair they sounded yummy. Also the staff were lovely. We both ordered different main courses and I have to say, the food was excellent and went a long way to change my opinion of the place. We would actually go back for the food, so all-in-all, it was a tale of two halves! Oh,and my pint was good too. But please, please landlord/landlady - if you're listening, sort the sticky tables out! It sets a very bad impression, and it's an easy and cheap fix - It doesn't take much just to re-sand and treat some table tops or even get new ones!!!

Had a great meal at The Denbigh Arms this evening. The pub seems to be thriving since the new licencee / management took over. Great food,good beer , and a pleasant atmosphere with lovely staff. Our mother lives In the village so we will make a point of frequenting The Denbigh when we visit her. Thank you for restoring the village pub and you deserve every success!

The food at the Denbigh is dramatically improved under new management. We have had two Sunday roasts now and they were great as were the deserts. Special mention to the cauliflower cheese. Top tip it takes a little while to cool down before you can eat it.

Excellent pub the beers are lovely Frendley atmosphere.

We stopped off at the Denbigh Arms for roast dinner after a friends wedding, the food was really good (possibly the best pub roast potatoes I have ever had) and the staff were absolutely lovely! I would highly recommend stopping by for a visit!

Just went to for a drink .. nice area

My husband and I saw this pub and the walk on the belocal app (pub not on belocal at the moment but hopefully will be), and we decided to book in for lunch. We would highly recommend this pub. It’s a lovely traditional pub, with a very pretty beer garden and in a chocolate box village. We had the Ploughman’s Lunch which was just perfection and just great to see it on the menu. It was a good size and had a great selection of items on it, presented really well on a wooden board. With cider, sunshine and all of this, it honestly doesn’t get much better. Thank you 😊

Great food & service. Would definitely recommend.

Said they weren't serving food but went outside and a guy was eating 🤷

Much improved under new management. Haven't tried the food yet but looks excellent. Great staff ....friendly welcome.

Met some very friendly, dog loving locals, good conversation, we put the world to rights. Unfortunately couldnt sample the food, cos it was Sunday night and I was on motorhome stop over, but had a few beers and a good stop over.Regards Ron Bailey.

Place is clean , lovely and when you walk in staff friendly and helpful 😊 Meal good value for money and meals hot and good portion size . The mini fish and chips very tasty

Excellent country pub - good selection & great quality of cask & tap beers. Friendly and attentive staff. The beer garden is very relaxing with plent of room. Didn't eat but menu looked good and will next time. Highly recommend.

Just passing through but had a surprisingly lovely evening meal here!

Excellent food and service. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Nice to see a village pub open midweek, with competitive meal prices and a Supper Club, which is good value. Friendly staff and traditional pub atmosphere with a lovely environment.

Hadn't been here in a long time so decided to try it out. Me and my dad went and both had the Denbigh burger and a cider, total came up to just under £50 which I personally think is a bit over priced how ever I also understand that the world is getting more expensive every day. The burger was a lot better than I was expecting and quite nice but not anything special.

Great steak and good atmosphere

Nice selection of well kept beers.

Very pleasant country pub in lovely village. Staff very accommodating, food lovely. Would definitely come again if passing the area

Second vist in resent weeks and again excellent in all respects. Their pies are to die for, WOW.

I have just had the BEST chicken, leak and ham pie ever. I've had some excellent pies in the past elsewhere but this one beats them all. The rest of the meal was just as good and the vegetables were to die for. 10 out of 10 from me ❤️ Best wishes from Simon,

Fantastic meal the new owners have turned this pub around with a lot of hard work , 4 of us went for a Sunday lunch , we all had the pork that was fantastic , cauliflower cheese to die for , nice portions size we will definitely go again ,

Excellent Sunday roast 👌 We had the beef roast and pork roast as well as two child chicken roast. Delicious. Followed by a lemon curd cheesecake and chocolate brownie to share - tastiest puddings we’ve ever had! Fantastic service and great atmosphere in a lovely village pub. A must visit.

Delicious Sunday roast. Adored the roasted carrot and parsnip. Fabulous Yorkshire and tender meat. Lovely village pub atmosphere and friendly service. Puddings were the best we’ve ever had!

Excellent, They opened specially for our party great food great service

Great village pub. Friendly staff and fabulous food. Especially the game pie 😃🍺👍

Nothing special, little to no atmosphere.Not good value for money.Wouldnt go again

Beautiful little country pub with a great atmosphere!

14 adults and children meet up for a pre Xmas meal we pre ordered as such a large group and had a fantastic time a old pub full of character lovely staff on the bar and waiting staff we had lovely time very reasonable prices for food and drinks the food was prepared and presented in a excellent way definitely recommend a visit remember it’s a old pub with great people and great food look at my photos

First time visiting the Denbigh Arms and must remember to come here again. Had a lovely starter of Pear and Celeriac Soup accompanied with some bread and butter which is always lovely to dunk in the soup. This was followed by Confit duck leg, truffle mash and some veg with a duck sauce which was absolutely delicious. The Duck was lovely and rich, the skin was nicely charred and the duck sauce was gorgeous. Truffle was good, you could taste the truffle and made a wonderful accompaniment to the duck. This was part of their Christmas menu, think traditional pub food is available. Service was good and efficient with plenty of time left between starter and main. Reasonably priced. Very happy.

Food delicious real ale superb 👌 🍺🍺

The Denbigh Arms is the quintessential English pub located opposite the church in the pretty village of Monks Kirby. I have visited this pub twice recently, and been made very welcome on both occasions. It’s a real hidden gem! I enjoyed a meal at lunchtime with a friend couple of weeks ago, good value, wholesome food, served within comfortable surroundings, near cosy log burning fires. My walking group met/finished here this week, and enjoyed a couple of well kept cask ales afterwards (coffee for drivers). Tim Taylor, Mad Goose, UBU available! Nicky and her partner (the chef) have only taken over heer a few months, but offer a warm welcome to customers. We intend to return soon, hoping for better weather to enjoy the outdoor seating next time!

Booked Sunday lunch was disappointed as changed hands and no longer a carvery. Food was nice, fabulous roast potatoes and really liked having a decent gravy boat of very tasty gravy. Staff were pleasant. Were seated in the back room, Xmas decorations were sparse - 1 garland ( either do them or don't) and room was cold physically and atmospherically soulless.

Sunday dinner was the best I’ve had in years, all came out quick and hot. Would definitely come again and was decorated lovely for Christmas

Food was excellent, very polite and helpful staff, keep it up. Thank you

We have just enjoyed a double birthday celebration meal at the Denbigh Arms, 13 people, 13 excellent meals all served at once. Great beer, great atmosphere, great hosts, what more could one want?

If I could give it 6 out of 5, I would! Delicious food including a lovely main meal, sumptuous dessert, and splendid coffee. The staff were all wonderful. I am definitely coming back again😀

Booked after a busy afternoon of pumpkin picking - pretty short notice - table for 8 adults. Such a lovely pub, great Sunday roast 👍

Lovely village pub with friendly staff and good selection of drinks

We just had the most lovely Sunday roast! Beef, Yorkshire puddings, perfectly cooked vegetables including cauliflower cheese. It was so good. Proper home tasting roast without the hassle obviosuly. Landlady Nicky makes all the desserts and I had the Biscoff Cheesecake, basically the kind of dish you make involuntary sounds of pleasure about whilst eating! Seriously recommend!

Amazing roast beef Sunday lunch. Cooked to perfection.

Recently taken under new management and the place has been transformed internally from quite dark and gloomy to fresh, light, and welcoming. There's a good selection of beers available from the bar, and food is served from the kitchen by an outstanding chef. Customers in the restaurant area can be overheard complimenting every dish they have tried here recently, which was reflected in the food we had during our visit here. Staff can't do enough for customers and will make it their utmost to accommodate requests wherever they can. Prices are great for the high quality and definitely worth every penny. There's outdoor seating with picnic benches and some under cover seating available. Bank holidays have also seen a children's bouncy castle put up so families can enjoy the outdoor space. Set facing an extremely old large church that is steeped in history going back to the 1800s, The Denbigh Arms can provide the perfect venue space for any services at the church. Theres is free parking at the rear. Some weekends have live music, and a karaoke night was recently trailed, which everyone there absolutely loved. If you're passing through, it's definitely worth a visit for a drink and some food. You might have to call through and book a table as it does get fully booked regularly. The onion bahji scotch egg is a game changer! Enjoy!

Well what can I say, service was impeccable and omg the food!!! I will he back soon thank you to the new owners for making us feel so welcome A*****

Had a lovely family meal, friendly staff, great selection of beer and all kept well, great place in safe hands under new landlords.

Went for the second time this month for the roast dinner Absolutely my favourite place now for a Sunday dinner Have tried the belly of pork and the roast beef, both perfect and come with a side order of cauliflower cheese as standard, Absolute bargain, the apricot stuffing is lush Restaurant staff very attentive especially Maddie Great service and food

This is a pub we’ve lunched at many times in the past and our first time since the new owners took over. Whilst the food was good, I too found it overpriced, especially for the children’s meal. Two fish goujons, chips and peas….not much return for £7!! (Could have served up four goujons at least). Sweets starting at £7 😳, no thank you. The blonde behind the bar was far from customer-friendly. We won’t be returning, sadly. On to pastures new……

Great location, in house cooking filled the room totally awesome 👍

The menu was over priced for what is was, the Salmon especially. I had the burger. The cheese board was probably the best value for money.

Absolutely fantastic food, great atmosphere, lovely staff very pleasant and helpful would definitely reccomend.

New owners had salmon and cream cheese sandwiches excellent will come Again

Much improved under new management. Friendly welcoming staff, tasteful decor, good music and delicious and reasonably priced food. Will be back again soon!

Super Sunday lunch at The Denbigh Arms. Under new management, the pub atmosphere has been transformed. Nice to see it busy again. Impressed by what I regard as a modern classics menu. Good variety of dishes. All reasonably priced. Food was served promptly and was all of a high standard. Good quality and well presented. The staff were welcoming, efficient and very kind. Perfect for families. We will definitely return.

Wow, just WOW!! We stay in this village once a year to attend an event nearby. We almost didn’t go to the Denbigh Arms this year as it wasn’t great in the past BUT new people have taken it over and it’s just FABULOUS!! No more grumpy staff. Everyone so polite and helpful. Nicky and her chef partner have totally transformed this place!! My wife had “the best steak she had ever eaten” and both my dishes were PERFECT too. Price was very reasonable for such top class service and excellent food. If you at the Denbigh Arms, pay a visit to Stonehurst Farm, about 30mins away. Fab place to go.

Under new ownership the Denbigh Arms has REALLY improved since my last visit. I had an excellent sirloin steak here last night and the panacotta was great. The service was warm and friendly and the restaurant has a lovely ambience. I’d recommend the Denbigh Arms and look forward to going back.

I have just finished the BEST steak I have ever had in a restaurant. The sirloin was seasoned well and cooked to perfection! I’m not a fan of tomato and mushroom so I asked for extra salad and aioli instead which the chef was happy to do. Nicky’s service was just great. She was friendly and welcoming. There’s a nice relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant with a busy but homely bar for an after dinner drink if you want to make a night of it.

Lovely local pub right next to the Church. We turned up and got a lovely and very reasonable Sunday lunch. Dogs are welcome and is very friendly and welcoming. The village is absolutely beautiful

Een vriendelijk dorp met heel goede B&B.

Best pub in The Revel area. Nice roaring open fire, friendly staff and excellent menu. If only there were more pubs like this in the area.

went for a family and friends meal at the weekend , the service was lovely and could not be faltered , the pints were well poured , and food for the most part was amazing. Although i did end up with food poisoning :(

Me and my partner went here for my birthday and have been here previously throughout the summer of last year and have experienced fantastic service every single time. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and so are the customers! The food is at a fantastic price with huge portions and lots of choices available. It’s a warm and cosy pub in the winter and lovely to sit outside in the pub garden during the summer. Will definitely be returning! Thank you all.

Met a friend here for lunch. ... We knew beforehand it was just basket meals; not a posh gastro experience! ... Everything was very affordable. I had spicy ribs with a side of cheesy chips. My friend had scampi, onion rings, and chips. There was lots of food. It was all genuinely tasty. Everything was down to earth, utterly unpretentious. The service was quick. Genuinely friendly staff. My friend had a dog and the cook spontaneously brought him some leftover meat to eat. The beer was good, and the drinks were great value.

Friendly staff good beer food pub with character

Six of us had fresh tasty scampi and burgers with delicious chips and onion rings.Lovely pub , real fire burning very cosy.All meals in a basket but this is what we wanted something freshly cooked and inexpensive.

A welcoming village pub serving a quality Sunday Lunch, a selection of 4 Meats with all the trimmings. I usually don’t choose Carvery but the portions were great and the veg was good too.

The quality of the food was not as good as on previous visits. Some items on the menu were not available. We had to sit at a table near a speaker, and I asked if it could be turned down. It was at first, but it crept up again as the evening progressed. Shall look elsewhere in future!

Good food and drink, male staff need to be more cheerful and aquire manners.

Awesome meal! 10/10 cooked to perfection. Staff couldn't do enough for you! Highly recommend.

The menu has reduced to an extent it's not worth bothering with, pity it used to be excellent.

Fantastic food, can not fault it,

New menu, most items sold "in basket" 1970s style. Good portions at good prices but prefer my food on a plate.

Good food value for money staff vary perlite going back again

I’ve been to this restaurant so many times and never had a bad experience, the food is incredible every time, all staff are so lovely. Beautiful country pub in a beautiful setting. Definitely recommend.

Came with friends for lunch, a few things were off the menu including the 2 specials, I had the fish pie which was good and my wife enjoyed the lasagne, the staff were very friendly and helpful well worth a visit

So visited for a Sunday dinner here and couple of drinks for family meet up. Let's start by saying that the best thing about this place was the guy serving the carvery! Food was good, though I was disappointed with the roasts and yorkies. Access to the table meant a walk back out and all the way round to back as doorways are narrow, couldn't get pushchair through The biggest joke was the selection of drinks. As a breastfeeding mother I asked what non alcoholic drinks they have (usually a small choice when out at other places). The reply I got was "we have fruitshoots". Now I absolutely do not expect to be offered a kids bottled drink because I'm not drinking alcohol at the moment! Train your young staff because this has annoyed me enough to stop me from coming back again and deter others!

Just has a ploughmans lunch absolubly lovely, also very good service. Will have to go back again brilliant food. Well done all!

After a 5 mile morning walk, 11 walkers descended on the Denbigh Arms for Lunch. There was a great selection, (2 meals for £15) all served to the tables piping hot. Eleven satisfied customers.

This is the second time we've been here but first Sunday lunch. This is a proper "pub" that does food and has a very traditional, old-school feel which we like. The staff behind the bar work really hard and although you can see they are under huge pressure we were still dealt with promptly. We thought the carvery was brilliant value for the money. You could tell that all the veg had been prepared by hand rather than coming in vacumn-packed and just cooked. It was just like going from a family member's for your lunch and had that nostalgic taste/feeling. We like this place because it is real. My 9yr old son ate every single morsel of his roast and when kids eat it all thats a good sign.

Came with friends for Sunday carvery, the staff were very accommodating for us as a party of 8, the food is excellent with ample choice, 4 meats and veg, good value, it is quite cramped for space but well worth a visit

Booked in based on reviews - bad decision- the bar itself was a pub doing meals no attempt to be anything more. Decor was dark and old and had been touched up in places rather than repainted. The food was poor, two chicken dishes both...
