The Gamecock in Stratford-on-Avon

Friendly staff, cheap prices, amazing customers 😉

Very relaxed vibe. Four playful cats in the beer garden.

Cracking place to drop in for a bevy 👍👍👍

What a lovely pub this is, beer was reasonably priced a proper open fire while I watched the rugby on the big screen.

Friendly staff and patrons, nice for a quiet drink.

Better than The Crown and no service charge and aggressive owner. Excellent cooking, fair prices and a great all round experience. Did I say.. AVOID THE CROWN?

Friendly staff & customers, had a great time.

Very friendly pub, decent prices

Friendly staff good beer garden let down by bad language from locals

A beautiful setting well maintained catering for everyone's comfort. Very friendly landlady and Lord would highly recommend 😊

We were on a caravan holiday in the village for a couple of days so we just popped in for a coffee and my husband had a beer (or two), the football was on television and the landlady and her customers were very welcoming and we were included in their conversations. Couldn't think of a better way of spending a miserable wet Monday afternoon! Would strongly recommend a visit!

A good spit and sawdust pub, well worth a look in, beer good also.

Karaoke on the first Saturday of each month ! Really good fun ! 🙂

Very chatty Scottish barman, made us feel very welcome

Brilliant place and great atmosphere.... Oh and a very good pint!

Great food and great staff always enjoy it here.

OK, bit sporty and loud for my taste but the beer was alright.

lovely friendly drinking place. Made to feel welcome and had a lovely chat with a local.

Real locals traditional pub but still made to feel welcome

Great drinking pub, friendly punters and fab owners! Look forward to going again!

Excellent, have the best burger in the village. Ignore TripAdvisor they list them as closed even with comments from people enjoying themselves there

Popped in for a pint after a walk from Leamington. Was lively on a Sunday afternoon, with mix of 80-00's rock on the jukebox. Has beer garden but sat inside because of the weather. Average ales... v friendly service.

Este ha sido tomado por el nuevo dueño de Austin y realmente se ha convertido el lugar. La comida es excepcional relación calidad-precio. Me encanta que aunque ahora tienen una multitud de comida pic tiene todavía se conserva un ambiente encantador para dejar y tomar una copa en el bar, que normalmente es bastante difícil de equilibrar los dos.

New lrish landlord the food rustic and fresh good arrange of food pizza and but not crammed menu the Sunday roast is tops a must place to try price is very fair juke box and beer garden 👍🍺

Great boozer with a friendly landlord and staff.

Under new management. Good food and beer.

Llamado después de leer los comentarios de aquí, ya que estábamos de paso. La camarera fue muy amable y nos compró nuestras bebidas y llevamos nuestras órdenes. Los viernes tiene una especial en las hamburguesas, así que elegí el medio y mi novia eligió pounder el pollo burger. También elegimos nachos para comenzar. Nos sentamos alrededor de la parte trasera de la barra y pedí que me cambiaran, ya que había una terrible corriente fría. Los nachos llegamos y estaban bien, podría haber hecho con mucha más salsa y menos queso.

Mi esposa y yo visitamos el sus Gamecok en Harbury siguientes un paseo país el domingo por la mañana. Nos quedamos con ganas de una cena abundante asado tradicional y no nos decepcionó. El pub es el perro y la familia y cuando llegamos estaban completando las operaciones desde un Hallowe aclarar en partido celebrado allí la noche anterior. El pub está realmente dividida en dos zonas, una en frente del bar que sirve comida y es muy informal y una zona en la parte trasera del bar, que es un poco más formal y claramente más "zona restaurante '. Este espacio también haría bien para una familia grande o una ocasión de fiesta. Al llegar nos saludaron calurosamente, preguntamos si requiere cualquier bebidas y ofrece una selección de mesas. Ambos elegimos la cena de carne asada y quedamos encantados cuando llegamos con Patacas Chirivías, budín sirve de Yorkshire y patatas asadas. Había verduras adicional de queso coliflor, zanahorias y servido en brocelli guarniciones y salsa, trajeron extra sin tener que pedirlo, en una salsa de bote! Ciertamente parecía bueno y afortunadamente el sabor y calidad de la cocina estuvo a la altura de la apariencia. El vino tinto también salsa infundida fue tan bueno como lo que yo haga! ! ! Es muy reconfortante y un asado de almuerzo verdaderamente excepcional. Seguimos subiendo con Apple y con esponja treacle estuvó natillas. Ambos platos estaban muy bien presentado y muy sabroso. No demasiado, pero tampoco la gran o justo. Durante el almuerzo, el personal era amable y atento, no sorprendentemente toda la operación estaba dirigido por una familia que trabajan bien juntos, y el ambiente era tranquilo y relajado. Estoy muy feliz de recomendar la gran hoguera sus Gamecok para parar después de una caminata saludable.

Encantadora familia run pub, siempre una cálida bienvenida con un delicioso, gran relación calidad-precio y una fantástica carta de vinos. Hemos comido aquí docenas de veces y sus consistentemente estupendo. Bien hecho sus Gamecok han hecho Harbury orgulloso!

Food was excellent and bar staff were very friendly and helpful, our group ordered a variety of meals from the menu and all looked and tasted great and were thoroughly enjoyed. Pudding included too.

Superb Sunday lunch on 23rd October - large group of us was no problem and the food was delicious! Great value with puddings included if you book early!

Stopped off here with our 2yorkshire terriers very friendly welcome the beer was spot on basic menu but was gorgeous will be back

Dinner at The Gamecock last night. Interesting menu, great food, large selection of wines by the glass to choose from, plus dogs loved the biscuits on the bar!

We had Sunday lunch at The Gamecock on Saturday. Wonderful service,great wine,delicious roast beef followed by treacle sponge! An absolute treat!

Great food at a good price! Staff/family very friendly and dogs are welcome. Highly recomend. Good beer and cider. All round a good find.

Stopped off with the dogs on a walk from local campsite on a Sunday. We parked ourselves on the garden for a well earned drink, of which a rather fine selection of Gins were on offer if that's your tipple. Hoping for a Sunday roast, we were initially disappointed as only a BBQ was on offer but decided to take a chance. The food was cooked fresh in front of us, complete with salad etc, and was quite superb and very reasonably priced. An added bonus of the pubs Jack Russell keeping our Lurcher entertained made for a lovely couple of hours. The pub appeared unusually quiet, possibly due to the Olympics, and appears to be a family run affair who were very warm and welcoming, recommended.

Visited on a Friday evening and took advantage of the burger deal. All food freshly cooked and served nicely. Worth a try if you are in the area.

My wife and I went to the Gamecock for Sunday lunch. We'd been a couple of times before but this is my first review. The restaurant behind the bar in the Gamecock is small but light and pleasant, with simple furnishings. The service is excellent. My wife has coeliac disease and so must have gluten free food. The chef made quite sure that she had a good meal, too, even making a special gluten free portion of cauliflower cheese for her.The meal was delicious and plentiful. I can particularly commend the starters - gambas pil pil for me (prawns in a lovely spicey sauce with little tomatoes and chilli), chorizo and cheese omelette for my wife (also tasty and light).

We had two "risotto" dishes, however the risotto turned out to be just plain rice, with no stock used to add flavour or vegetables in it at all. Having waited almost an hour (with no explanation for the long wait in a fairly quiet restaurant) for the meals to be served after ordering we were too hungry to send it back and ask for a replacement.The other two meals were fine, but the chef needs to do some more research if they are going to offer anything different from English pub grub.

We booked a table for 4 at lunch time to have Sunday dinner, it was superb and it was the best Beef Sunday I've had for a long time. Because we booked the table over a week in advance we received free deserts for all of us so worth bearing in mind. They have a fantastic rang of drinks including a vast array of Gin's to try and we sampled a few sat next to the wood burning open fire in the bar area. It's a family ran local pub that is very welcoming, the staff can't do enough for you as I have to eat gluten free they even ran over to the local coop to get me some gluten free bread to serve me with my starter. Thank you so much for making it a special Easter Sunday dinner and looking after us so well. I'd highly recommend this for food or just a drink as its a lovely place to visit.

Great value for fish and chips on a Tuesday for £5. It's river cobbler, not cod or haddock, but it tastes like plaice. Huge portion, chips and 2 types of peas. Not tried the burger on Thursday for the same price as yet, but it won't be long.

Seventeen of us occupied our own area of the restaurant. Great food and friendly service made for a wonderful experience. We were all ready for our meal after our 3 hour walk. We were not disappointed. Well done!It was a lovely surprise to find that our desserts were free as we had pre-booked our meal.

Me and my extended family booked a meal, very easily on Facebook with a prompt response and popped in for mothers day. The Sunday lunch was fabulous. Warm, friendly family atmosphere where nothing is too much trouble. Everyone went for the roast beef, which was beautifully pink in the middle, with all the trimmings and cauliflower cheese - a rarity but a beauty. My wife wanted extra gravy which was not any trouble at all. The roast pots were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, and the portions were generous without being over crowded. All in all a great little place, with great staff and great food. I always judge Sunday lunches at pubs, as it's not often you'll find a place that matches home cooked grub. And considering it does meals on a large scale, which are consistently great, this place really does cut the mustard. Also, the fish and chips on Tuesday are second to none. Cheers Rob and Libby and all the staff.

Absolutely loved our Sunday roast at The Gamecock. Relaxing atmosphere, super dog-friendly, warm service and delicious home-cooked food. The beef was tender, Yorkshire pudding tasty, crisp golden roast potatoes and parsnips and generous portions of veg and cauliflower cheese (a surprise but a welcome addition to the plate). Our servers were attentive without hovering and nothing was too much trouble. My beef was rare and my mother in law's well done (exactly as requested). Extra gravy was brought over in a jug on request, my husband wanted to try the triple-cooked chips instead of roast potatoes for some reason.. all provided without a moment's hesitation. We booked before Friday so our puddings (classic British puddings made from scratch) were free which was the icing on the cake, served with ice cream, cream or a huge jug of custard!We were so comfortable we spent nearly 3 hours over lunch at the pub and had a great chat with the chef who came out for a very well deserved pint at the end of his shift. There are some great walks around Harbury so would recommend a good stomp around and some fresh air before a leisurely, quintessential Sunday roast at the Gamecock. 10/10!

Another great meal. Light, Peroni batter on the fish, beautiful chips and a great wine list. Friday night is Prosecco night. And those hot, garlicky prawns....

Partner and I went on a Sunday for lunch. We're based in Leamington but the scenic drive over and warm atmosphere makes it worth visiting wherever you are. Food was absolutely top! My favourite was hot prawns in a spicy/garlic dip. Meat was lovely. Huge portions, very good value. Definitely recommend.

Came here on a Sunday arvo & had the best Thai Chicken Curry, it was absolutely amazing. Everyone was so lovely & welcoming, Rob & Libby were great! Would definitely come back here for another meal & drink!

Tuesday night special of Fish and Chips - can't be beaten. £5 for large portion of firm, white fish in a delicious light and crispy batter with a healthy portion of chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce. Team it with a bottle of white wine from an extensive wine list. Polite and friendly staff, couldn't ask for more. Most definitely recommended. My review probably sounds like a 'promotion' but just telling it the way it is.

Excellent meal the other night- all the food was delicious, especially the bean soup which had a lovely smokey flavour. It came after various antepasti and was followed by excellent home made pasta with beef. Unfortunately we were fed so well in the previous courses that only two of our party could do full justice to the pasta. We did however manage the beautifully light and not too sweet dessert of tiramisu. Coffee and limoncello followed and we staggered home feeling rather too well fed!

Totally Italian, 5 courses all made from scratch, the food was amazing and certainly Italian portions. you really do need to be hungry when you visit the Gamecock.

The meal has a great choice without being too big. The bar itself isn't very big but has a very friendly feel.The weather was lovely when we visited so sat in the garden. Very pleasant and relaxed. The food itself was immense. We had the garlic prawns to start and I had the pulled pork beef burger ( pictured ) It really was as good as it looks. We have since been back, the fish and chips are up there with the best I've had from a pub. Lovely little find!!

Cracking roast beef, quality throughout and reasonably priced. Have a lot of homemade items on the menu which is always a bonus.Relaxed atmosphere, staff are good too.

The gamecock is one of our favourite places to eat at. Best fish and chips we've ever had and they are only £5 on Tuesday's!! Highly recommended

Had a weekday evening meal of fish and chips and Thai curry here this week. Excellent value and excellent taste on both. The fish and chips was on a special so only £5. The beers are of good quality and service very friendly. The toilets are a bit smelly and the outside garden needs a bit of a refurb. However, this is a local pub and was refreshingly full of people. Very good evening

Went to celebrate a family 80th Birthday on a Friday night, absolutely no complaints about the fish and chips which was an excellent portion, well cooked and cheaper than the local chippy. The venue is a village pub so beer and excellent food in a basic environment. The pub was moderately full with many people taking advantage of the fish and chip specials.I wouldn't recommend for a large group as dining room is small and I wouldn't recommend for a special occasion but great place for a hearty meal!

Have had lunch here twice now. Friendly relaxed atmosphere and beautifully cooked food. Something on the menu for everyone - even my 2 fussy kids! Delicious roast beef last visit and excellent steak this time.

Came across this pub on a Friday evening whilst visiting attractive Harbury village. The bar was busy and everyone seemed really friendly. As there was a special of Friday night fish and chips, we joined In. Such a good choice, excellent blousey battered fish and great chips with mushy peas for £5.We went a couple of weeks later to find that Friday fish and chips had moved to Tuesday, so check them out if you only want this meal. Be sure to eat early as they are so popular for fish and chips, they could sell out! The other items on the menu looked just as good. This time we sat in the sunny garden.

Such an amazing welcoming place to eat or just drink with friends or family, I came earlier with a group of friends there was a lovely busy atmosphere in the pub, we weren't rushed to our table we sat at the bar and had a few drinks then ordered. The homemadeThai green curry was unbelievable, best curry I've had in ages! Clean plates all round! followed by a warm delightful homemade chocolate brownie with ice cream. Will definitely be visiting again. Young group of staff who were lovely and friendly and latest music on in the background making the place lively. Best meal I've had in ages, not one complaint or moan from anyone:) no.1 in Harbury by far, will be recommending!

We had lunch at The Gamecock while on Holiday in the area.We were the ONLY customers there !I was a tad concerned ..But made very welcome by the young Barman ..The Beer was excellent !Fish & Triple Cooked Chips simply Perfect !!The Gamecock NEEDS More Customers ..Come on You Locals use this Establishment or loose it !!Go on People of Harbury "The Gamecock" deserve it !!

The best thing is the fish and chips. I love the sticky toffy pudding. My brother likes the peas. The Gamecock is awesome.

Thought I'd try the Gamecock after reading good reviews about the food. Went on a Saturday evening and was surprised that it was fairly quiet. Eating area fairly minimalistic with basic chairs and tables but there seemed to be a nice ambience about the place. Menu was fairly basic but good enough. We all ordered the fish and chips and didn't have to wait too long. The fish and chips we excellent! Crip light lager batter with lovely moist cod fillet inside. The triple cooked chips were amazing. All four of us really like the meal. At £8.95 this was good value. They have the fish and chips on as a Tuesday special at only £5. Had sweets of apple crumble and chocolate brownie which were good. Will be visiting again soon for more fish and chips though the burger's looked good too.

My wife and I visited the gamecock. I asked for a rare steak. And it came... Rare! I usually go 'one under' as the English usually overcook it. So was expecting a medium rare. It's so nice to find somewhere that can get it right. Still delicious, and the chips were amazing. Wife had the burger which was juicy, with pulled pork and a great (and rare - excuse the pun) lovely brioche bun. Well done. Great pub, great food, great staff, great chef. Keep it up.

We popped in on a Friday night to find it was fish night. Turns out its the only night different from normal menu. Menu was a little limited as a result but beer battered fish and chips were excellent. And we followed up with a lovely dessert. A surprisingly low bill topped it off nicely. Nice local for a quick bite.

We have eaten at The Gamecock 3 or 4 times now and have never been left disappointed. The menu is not overwhelming, the food is fresh, cooked well and served with a smile. We both opted for the evening special on our latest visit being Thai Prawn Green Curry, Wow!!

35 of us booked a meal to celebrate Bastille evening- asking for a French meal. We were offered a great menu with good choices. The 3 course meal was fantastic and perfectly cooked- not easy when you are catering for a group that size,and the menu includes asparagus and pan-fried sea bass. The chef was fairly new but thrown in at the deep end, and there wasn't a compaint among us. All staff were pleasant and obliging- congratulations!

7 of us went for Sunday lunch, having never eaten there before we were certainly not disappointed. The food was fantastic served by extremely attentive staff. No complaints from us all the plates went back empty!!!!Thank you

A big group of us with adults and kids had a fantastic Sunday roast at the Gamecock and I would highly recommend it. They also have a superb selection of wines too.

What a fantastic pub meal we had on Friday, Fish and Chips as good as any I've ever had, delicious fresh fish and super crispy batter. And the veggie alternative of battered Halloumi was exceptional.What a lovely pub with friendly staff and excellent beer.

The food here is great with a good variety of dishes to satisfy anyone's tastes. I recommend the steak and ale pie which is actually deconstructed into a puff pastry pasty (with no filling) and the steak chunks and ale gravy. The chips here are to die for. One of the best pubs I have ever been to- one to remember!

Relax and enjoy. The food was marvelous, local ale fine and service delightful and smiley. The vegetarian options had a delicious beer battered halloumi and Camembert chip butty which beats boring veg lasagne and salads! It had a really great friendly atmosphere. Absolutely worth a visit!

Finally, a pub with good wine and an excellent choice!! Perfect then to enjoy great food and atmosphere.Fish and chips on a Friday is fantastic. Follow The Gamecock on Facebook to read about the various events and 'specials' they organise.

Harbury's newly revamped Gamecock deserves a detour for anyone near Stratford or Leamington who wants great, food, fab wines and a roaring fire. No big screens - hooray!! We had the steak and ale pie for our Saturday lunch. Feather-light puff pastry and pure steak. Perfect chips and peas. Huge portions. We left feeling we'd had one of the best meals for ages. Unmissable.

We were looking for somewhere to go for Sunday lunch and this little pub was mentioned a few times on Facebook. The menu was available on their Facebook page, it was a mix of Spanish and traditional Sunday roast.The place is quite small and in the middle of a village, parking was easy even though the pub does not have a car park. The drinks on offer was good the food excellent I had the prawns as a starter, not usual for me, there was lots of prawns and deliciously spicy. This was followed by traditional roast beef. Proper slices of beef, cooked medium, the veg was a fantastic cauli cheese separate to a medley of brussels,leeks,carrots and broccoli. A real full plate of food. The Pork belly was also well received. If you want a traditional Sunday lunch or something a little bit spanish, this is the place to go. Good food good value. The Gamecock does do special nights see there web site or Facebook page for other menus. Wish our local was as good.

Fabulous birthday meal for my 17 year old daughter, our ages ranged from13 to 79 and everyone loved it. Best Risotto I have ever eaten, request from my Dad to book again for his birthday.

First review Ive felt compelled to write. We stumbled upon this pub but truely enjoyed the best peroni battered fish and chips Ive ever had in a pub. Great portion size, not at all overwhelming. Accompanied with great chips, tartar sauce and mushy peas.The staff and choice of beers were great.Great atmosphere, complete with locals and roaring fire. Definitely glad we checked it out!

Went here for Christmas lunch with work colleagues. The best pub/restaurant Christmas dinner I've had. Didn't have the mass-produced feel to it and even though we almost took over the whole buidling (30+ of us), still excellent service and everything fresh and hot. The only issue was that, as there were so many of us, we couldn't all sit together, this isn't really a place for that size group.

Thank you Team Gamecock for bringing back some life, a decent glass of wine and a fine pint to the Village!

Perfect for just a vino early evening or late sunday lunch And the food is gorgeous the chips alone should go viral ! Atmosphere lovely and staff too!Love this place x

friendly and the best possible service - you'll be pleasantly surprised

Lovely friendly village pub, with amazing food and a decent selection of wine and beer. Saturday breakfast is particularly good.

We enjoyed a fabulous Sunday Lunch at the recently refurbished and newly managed Gamecock in Harbury today. For starters we shared a Spanish Tapas board including Manchego cheese, olives and cold meats and followed this with a wonderful plate of Slow braised lamb (which just fell apart), chorizo, baby onions and peas and sauteed potatoes, all served with cauliflower cheese and seasonal veg - fabulous! It was hard to choose between this and the roast sirloin of beef, roast pork belly and seared seabass which all also looked rather fantastic. Thanks to Rob the proprietor and his young team of excellent staff who all gave a warm welcome. When we arrived they were highchair-less but Rob went the extra mile by crafting a high chair for our one year old son from a wine box - ingenious! Our 3 year old daughter enjoyed the conker championship which was hotting up in the garden. We'll definitely be coming back for more of the same.
