The Griffin Inn in Nuneaton and Bedworth

Great meal with great service. Dan was simply amazing! The attention and speediness of service and how kind and considerate he was! Could not have asked for a better server than Dan

Good as always, attentive service. Food menu varied with good choice of starters. Good prices, and parking. Would come again

I have to say, I’m quite disappointed this time around. Service was slow, they spent more time talking than actually serving. Went to the bar for our second drinks in the end and even that was long. When she finally did come over, I didn’t like her attitude. The food came out, the garlic bread was burnt and so was the chicken burger. When we attempted to tell the waitress about the garlic bread, she abruptly cut off the conversation and said that we should have called her over. No, you should have done check back on your tables, it’s basic hospitality (It’s quite concerning that this isn’t known to her) and that way, the issue could have resolved. But instead, the meal was barely eaten, which was ignored when she looked at the plate whilst clearing the table. She said she would remove from the bill. I appreciate the gesture, but when we attempted to mention the overcooked, dry and uneditable chicken burger, she walked off! We decided to go elsewhere for desserts. We may return in the future if her attitude and service improves.

Came for lunch with 4 of my friends, all of us work in hospitality. On this occasion we were very disappointed with service and the food served. Our cheesy garlic bread was burned and before we even had a chance to complain about our burned chicken burgers the waitress walked off. She did take the garlic bread of the bill to be fair. But no check back, no offer of another drink or deserts. Luckily we had 30% off voucher . We went to the Griff House for another drink and dessert where we received great service with a smile.

Dan the waiter was very friendly and helpful but the quality of food was not was frozen veg and would not advise the triple meat sunday lunch portion of meats was appaullng each slice if was no more than 1 mouthfull not even a childs portion and this meal was extra charge would not reccommed the sunday roast menu we were celerbrating a birthday and we was all very dissapointed

We came here a week ago for my sons birthday meal. We were welcomed by a fantastic waitress Katie who I understand was new. She was very accommodating to our needs very polite and friendly, helped with food choices for our extremely fussy daughter. Would highly recommend and will be coming back again great food great staff and great atmosphere

I ate here a couple of days ago an our waitress was Katie. She was fabulous nothing was ever an issue or to much problem. She really is a credit to the team. the food was superb highly recommend the place x

Lovely lunch, service was great and food was perfect. We were made to feel really welcome with our two dogs and will definitely be returning 😊

We had a lovely meal with the family Service was top class everyone was attentive and helpful . The food was amazing and would definitely recommend the ribs eye steak it was cooked to perfection We will be back

I was sent 30% off voucher, but the site was advertising 30% off all meals anyway for that week when I ordered my food at the bar he didn't take the 30% off never asked me whether I have to show or give a simple code which everybody was entitled to, when I asked for my 30% off he refused to give it me because now he'd already taked the order which is bad management. Also I asked for my steak to be just over medium and it came out cremated the food was very downhill and their mannerism was terrible. I will not be using this premises again.... I hope they enjoy my 30% that they didn't give me but I'll never spend a penny in there again as I will never enter the promises again.

When paying by card I was asked to indicate whether I wished to leave a tip before tapping my card. This is unacceptable as it will no doubt pressure many people.

Lovely garden, good food, staff were friendly and polite even though they were very busy! Loved the mocktails! Lots of friendly people will definitely be back

A Birthday brunch at the Griffin Pub & Restaurant with my family, a nice casual & comfortable atmosphere with friendly staff, nice food & a superb variety of bar drinks for adults & children, background music classic hits of the years gone bye, outside has beautiful gardens with picnic tables & seating for those nice sunny days. Car parking is more than adequate with 2 EV points for Electric Car Enthsiasts

Not been here for a long time. Parents chose as it was my mum’s birthday.. Took an age to be served at the bar as our table wasn’t ready, but we were 15 minutes early. Food was good apart from one meal having to go back back because it was incorrect and then did not eat as a family. If it wasn’t for my parents being there, I would’ve complained, but it makes them feel uncomfortable. The service was absolutely terrible, no callback no offer for drinks we had to go up and ask for our order and had to go up and ask for more drinks, unfortunately this has put us off returning again. We could tell other people would be frustrated regarding service

Leuke locatie. Schoon, netjes. Vriendelijke en attente ontvangst en veel aandacht voor de gasten. Een lach en een praatje. Een leuk en lekker menu. Niet te klein, niet te groot, maar genoeg keuze. Heerlijk gegeten en een leuke avond gehad. Een aanrader en wij komen zeker weer terug.

So there was 3 of us 2 if which who were very happy with fish and chips. Unfortunately it was just one of those days for me firstly they said roastbeef was cooked welldone seemingly this isn't how they usually cook it ir is usually medium so chef mistake it happens. However then my buttermilk chicken burger came the chicken was so dry you could use it as sandpaper an they was one piece of dead lettuce. When I complained the waitresss got one of the assistant managers who said well that's the new burger it's dry because you have the sauce on the side. By the way still looking for the monterjack cheese as was mia. So decided just to stick with fries luckily another manager came along and bless her she offered me something else I went for the pork but only wanted small portion she said she would get me a kids portion I didn't realise that would mean no herb potatoes just normal gravy not red wine and no crackling she did know it was for an adult and to top it off the potatoes were bad on a plus the pork was good. The saving grace was the cheesecake which was delicious and the waitress who was lovely. What I would like to say is it doesn't matter what goes wrong it's how it's dealt with and Unfortunately this could have been handled better. Says a lot when you leave one restuarant and go and eat at another. Luckily I was staying at the premier inn and I ordered a burger from the beefeater.

Booked a table for 3 midweek 6pm on arrival the place was very quiet not many people eating we we're escorted to our table and it just seemed strange that there wasn't any food on any tables after about a 15 minute wait the waitress came over to take our food and drinks order and I was gobsmacked to hear that most of the main dishes were unavailable it was at that point we got up and left the table next to us had been waiting ages and recommended the beefeater pub about 500 metres away!! As they was on the verge of cancelling their meals as well!! I won't be going back anytime soon.

Massive improvement since the new owners came. The staff are lovely and the food has improved to a new standard. We’ve been twice this week and both times all the food was wonderful. The Sunday roast especially

Having had dinner at the nearby Beefeater restaurant the night before, this restaurant offered a handy alternative for my second night staying at the nearby Premier Inn recently (see my separate review on that). There really is no comparison - this restaurant is altogether warmer, friendlier, and busier, and the food is better quality. I found the staff to be welcoming and engaged, helpful and efficient throughout. I was promptly seated and given a menu and didn't have to wait too long for a drink - always a good start. Now to the food. The menu included all the usual pub favourites - pies, sausage & mash, fish & chips, steaks, burgers etc. But it was delightful to have the choice of a specials menu too - which offered something over and above the regular menu (see pictures). My starter was the chicken liver and brandy pate. This was clearly pre-prepared, not made in-house, although it was excellent, and the toasted brioche that came with it was delicious. The toast was rather small though, and I felt it could have been more generous given the amount of pate. For the main course, I went for the specials menu and opted for the pan-roasted chicken wrapped in bacon, served with sautéed potatoes, chorizo, red peppers, spinach, tenderstem broccoli and mushroom sauce. This was excellent, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, and was nothing short of a revelation (see pictures). I finished off with a dessert of Burnt Basque cheesecake with sour cherry compote, which was also very good. With the bill coming in at £42 including drinks, that is actually quite reasonable for the quality of the fare. It was refreshing to see that there was no cynical 'discretionary' service charge added to the bill, and good to know that I can be trusted to decide for myself whether tip my server and by how much. Lexie, the young lady who looked after me, was absolutely fantastic, and well deserving of it. A resounding thumbs up. Highly recommended.

We called in on the spur of the moment after a shopping trip at arena park , our hostess Michelle was so warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for her , she found us a lovely quiet corner and helped my partner with her meal choice as she couldn’t decide , the food came very well presented, I had the pork belly which was very nice , it came with mustard mash and veg and a delicious gravy, my partner had lasagna which was so tasty ! She said it was one of the best she had ever eaten and she makes a banging lasagna herself ! All in all a very nice evening and thank you again to Michelle for making us feel so welcome

Came to the griff as an early Mother’s Day treat and had a wonderful experience. Rash and Rhi did food that was amazing and high quality. Sophie and Kellie were friendly and chatty, we couldn’t fault their service.

Always a smile and a warm welcome for me at this lovely old pub. Charise and Stacey were efficient, calm and caring even though under pressure from a busy night.

Impossible to fault anything about this wonderful establishment, the chicken tikka masala is as good as anything you would get in an Indian restaurant. This was our 2nd time here and would highly recommend.

Fantastic food, Great service by Charise & Stacey. Great price would highly recommend this place. Great atmosphere nothing to much trouble for them

Pop in on my own service sat me somewhere nice out of the way where I could relax plenty of space, and I ordered a pork belly special best pork IV ate in my life, top quality service thanks charise and stacey

Excellent service from Stacey & Cherise, both very pleasant. Excellent food...what more could one ask.... We had a variety of dishesfrom the revised menu...and everyone rated their food as excellent. Always a pleasure here. Many thanks

Visited on 3rd March for a birthday meal.Food was excellent as usual and served by Stacy who provided excellent service and was very friendly.Thanks for a great evening .

This place is a cracking little pub. The staff here are very friendly. Especially Stacey and cherise. There’s plenty on the menu. And a good variety of drinks available. I will be definitely come back here soon.

Good service, nice meal, very good value for money. Kacey did a great job serving us. We meet here regularly. Would recommend

Me and my partner went for an evening meal for Valentine’s Day. The food was great and the staff were friendly, thank you Nicola for the fab service! 🫶🏻x

Great food chorizo mac and cheese was really good. Friendly service, really enjoyed it my dinner. Thanks to Charise and chef Gemma. Great meal, I will return.

Group meal booked for a birthday, (booked 7 days in advance) im never normally one to complain, baring in mind the prices of the meals, the quality did not reflect this. once informing the staff off the poor food quality, which was 20 meals all wrong, food was completely burnt (unable to even chew) huge bones and grissel in chicken breasts. It was just vile For the price of the meals you would at least expect it to be edible, we were presented by a manager who told us that there's nothing they can do because thats what you should expect from a supermarket. Refused to pay. This used to be a fantastic pub, wholesome food and great staff - it's gone downhill. Certainly will NOT be returning

Amazing, lovely, friendly and super attentive staff, even the chefs! Food is amazing quality, come here often and service is always fast and to a high standard, always well presented, hot and delicious. Only thing is beer prices are quite expensive however I know this is Marstons and the pub itself has no control over their prices. Worth every penny, pub has a lovely atmopshere, can’t wait to sit in the lovely beer garden in the summer, definitely the best pub this area and surrounding towns has to offer.

First visit but it was recommended by someone. Would highly recommended to anyone as the food and service was excellent!

We are local and we really want to love this place. The food here is lovely. BUT… the service is absolutely dreadful. Every time we have been, the service is slow to non-existent. Such a shame.

Just moved to the area stopped for Dinner had the baked Kofta for starter awful tasted like a microwaves ready meal Beacon Chees burger burger's obviously from frozen very poor quality bacon was burnt could not finch it .

Michelle looked after us on our visit today. First time we have been for a long time, lovely relaxed service, nice food and enjoyable atmosphere.

garlic bread is rubbish no garlic taste at all. chessey garlic bread has only a sprinkle of grated cheese on it, you will need a magnifying glass to find. also wrong type of bread rolls to make garlic bread bread rolls are ok for burgers

Lovely meal and service as always.Always well looked after and particularly Kellie tonight.Its nice to see a local restaurant keeping up good service.

Lovely place to eat food was lovely staff was very friendly and accommodating restaurant was clean would recommend good value for money

Service was amazing and the food was ideal! Have been for dinner but would definitely recommend the lunch menu also!

Great food, service was top tier, very friendly staff and nice environment. I had the calamari and it was effin fantastic

Dropped in out of the blue for lunch. Excellent service from Michelle as always. Food was quick and hot. No complaints. Would recommend to anyone.

Dropped in for a quick lunch. Food is great - straightforward but really nicely done. Service was really friendly and as others have mentioned Michelle is an absolute star. Give that woman a raise you’re lucky to have her!

What a great find! The food was fabulous and Michelle is an asset to the establishment. She was so accommodating and really looked after us. Thank you very much. If we’re back down this way again we will be sure to come back 🙂

Excellent service lovely staff. Variety of menu choices really good. Can recommend chicken and chorizo kebabs

Came at lunchtime in a group of 5 and we were served by Michelle. Lovely service and the food was really good with reasonable prices

Absolutely fabulous meal, most helpful staff, accommodating a table of 10 at the last minute due to being let down by a nearby pub. Food was prompt, fresh and hot. Great selection of food. Would recommend to anyone

Great place & fast becoming a new favourite. Friendly helpful staff, nice atmosphere & delicious food at a reasonable price. It's also good to be able to take out little dog.

The staff were really smiley , friendly and welcoming. The food was however not so great which is a shame because it’s a nice place. If the chef has run out of ingredients they just need to say so that the guest can choose another...

A very pleasant place for a lovely meal. There is a good selection of different options on the menu for starters, mains, and desserts as well as a good choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The staff are all lovely, and the atmosphere is very...

Lovely venue, really modern decor and staff very attentive, polite, professional and friendly. Our server was Michelle, she was all of the above and more - Thank you!! Food was delicious. My partner had the mixed grill and I the halloumi flatbread. We’ll be back.

Lovely setting, place looks fab. The service staff are polite and friendly. The food... very poor. Mrs had a sirloin med/rare, came out looking quite fat and round, not your typical sirloin. Clearly had been put of fridge onto the grill and not rested before...

Excellent food and service. Thank you Michelle for making this a special occasion. Just a meal out for the family but made very special by a lovely waitress.

To be fair, I’ll start by saying this was a Saturday night and when we arrived at 7.30 pm, they were quite busy. We were seated - freezing cold where we were sat in a conservatory type section. 20 minutes later we were still waiting...

Family meal. Staff friendly. No problem with booking. Nice atmosphere. Comfortable surroundings. These days, everything is expensive but I felt we paid a few pounds more than we should. The desserts were good, but my chicken was a bit chewy and my daughter’s Thai green...

Always pop in on the off chance and always created with a warm smile. I don’t have a favourite dish so pick and choose depending what ever mood I’m in. Always fresh and hot.

Excellent service and cracking food , how ever it was so understaffed the one and only server . Was run ragged and couldn’t apologise to everyone enough . She did a great job in a badly organised situation. The manageress wasn’t particularly helping out just...

Good food, great atmosphere, excellent staff and service. The member of staff serving us was so lovely and couldn't help us enough to make sure that our meal was all that we wanted it to be.

I’ve been here many times and am never disappointed. I find the food reasonably priced and I’m always satisfied with my meals. I’ve never come across a rude member of staff. Lovely cosy interior too

Good value meals, with first rate table service from Michelle, who went above & beyond to ensure our family visit on a busy Friday evening, was extremely enjoyable. Definitely surpassed our expectations, as the table service was much improved since our last visit to this...

Lovely surroundings recently modernised. Menu expensive for what was provided poor quality very basic. Lunch time visit 1.00 no other patrons. Later only 3 other people arrived during our visit. Service was therefore satisfactory.

We decided to go out for dinner, didn't have a booking however we were givenna table. The food was good and so was the service

Came Sunday had lamb shank and misses had the chicken and chorizo kebab. Cauliflower cheese was nice and estrella beer lovely Would recomend a visit

We visited this evening for a family celebration having booked in advance. Staff were extremely polite and fulfilled our requests for a table perfectly. Special recognition should be given to the man at the bar (Thursday 14 July - evening) who served us and was...

A atmosphere, staff & food lovely & friendly. Feel that you go there for any event etc The menu covers for everyone’s tastes & there are lots of different plates to try

Was told it had a really nice beer garden which is very accurate. Plenty of space for the kids to play and can relax as you can see them from the well positioned tables. Really good beer. I was having 61deep and it went down...

Calamitous from the start, no clarity on drinks which took 30 minutes to get sorted. Then it took nearly an hour and half for our food to come which was then missing items. Will not visit again.

I have had the pleasure of both eating at the griffin and working with them as a waiter. As a customer, I found the food to be delicious and the service to be outstanding. as a member of the staff I found the team members...

Cannot fault the team here they are amazing as is the food I would highly recommend I will definitely be coming again the mixed grill is the best I've had for a while
