The Hatton Arms in Warwick

Fab afternoon having a few beers in The Hatton Arms with a couple of great old friends, no food this time us as we had eaten. Busy day for the Hatton Arms but it looked like the team were nailing it. Thanks for looking after us in the bar area. Kind regards Steven

Come here for dinner with my Grandad who is really picky. Always great food and beer. Never had a bad meal. Great little pub to get some food

Was a lovely pub. Only stopped for 1 drink but looked really nice

Lovely and charming local pub with beautiful food

okay so, lovely place, lovely staff, but roast dinner was not good, just so grey and flavourless, tasted like a school dinner roast. very sad was excited to try somewhere new. veg was colourless & food was so tasteless. bland potatoes tasted just like a boiled potato. beef was over cooked and dry just very disappointing. but again staff were so nice.

1 meal was great. The other tasted great, but the portion sizes were tiny, especially due to the cost! I paid nearly £10 for 5 tiny prawns. I’d hoped the main course would be better, but was also very small.. When I got home I had a round of toast! The service was excellent, both waitresses were so friendly and very professional. Overall won’t return. The food tastes nice, but the portion sizes are way too small. I don’t expect to pay £70 for 2 meals ( no drinks) and go home hungry!

Popular pub/ restaurant overlooking Grand Union Hatton top lock. Walks with spectacular views down the locks overlooking the town of Warwick. 3 real ales - Hook Norton reasonable priced lunches good food and friendly staff. You can reserve tables which I suspect would be advised at weekends and school holidays.

For once, a Sunday roast that is better than homemade. Nice little place, informal and cosy but the food was excellent and really fairly priced. The roast potatoes were golden and fluffy, the meat soft and the gravy was great. Only £22.95 for three courses, can't complain at all.

A beautiful place to park in the large car park have a coffee. Go for a beautiful walk and then end it all with a wonderful meal. Very friendly staff wit a great atmosphere.

After reading all the great reviews I was really disappointed with the Hatton Arms. The services was so slow, I must say our waitress was lovely, the manager looked really miserable so I don’t know if it was just a particularly hard shift. I had to send my food back because it was cold when it arrived and because of how long we waited I’m guessing it had been sat under a hot plate for 20 mins or so. They brought me another one out but it was just okay, nothing special and considering the meal was £23 I expected a bit more. I asked for an espresso martini and it came with no coffee bean but lots of mint leaves in it. We paid £130 for two people and overall the food was just okay. Because we were staying local I went back the next day for a cup of coffee out the rain and the male manager who was in was in was just rude and horrible, again the wait staff were really lovely. The other thing was automatically adding the service charge to the bill, it leaves a bitter taste, I would have tipped our server anyway but that should be a choice. If it’s feasible time wise go to the cafe on the locks, the atmosphere is lovely, the staff are really friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious - way better than the pub and about a fifth of the price!

Our first visit we popped in mid week for a quick bite and the food and service were both lovely so we were always intending to return - we finally did today. The decor in the restaurant is lovely and nice vibe about the place. Today we had the Sunday roast share plate.. the quality of the produce was excellent, roast chicken ( one of the tastiest I’ve had anywhere) pork with crackling, roast beef slices, parsnips, carrots, roasts spuds, red and green cabbage, cauliflower cheese, stuffing and two huge HOMEMADE! Yorkshire puddings ( that’s very important- sick of being serviced frozen packet rubbish in restaurants!) & a gravy boat. All the food was very tasty, hot and good portion size.. we almost finished it all but not quite… really good value for money. Would like to praise our server, very friendly and welcoming - attentive and quite honestly just very good at his job.. wish I’d caught his name🤦🏼‍♀️ Definitely recommend and we will be back again for sure. My only recommendation would be to warm the plates for the platter ( I am being very critical here - it’s just a personal preference for Sunday lunch )

Kyle, Steph and their team really looked after us yesterday. We had 70 or so for a wake and the quality of the food and service was amazing. Thank you!

Really nice country pub. Great food and great location for exploring Hatton Locks after. Would definately come again. Although please don't automatically put a service charge on the bill, I'm paying for the food and that's all I'm paying for!

Really disappointing meal today. We went for my husband’s birthday and arrived 45 minutes early as it started raining so we cut our walk short. We were told to get a drink and they would call us when our table was ready, I told the lady where we were sitting. 40 minutes later, no one had come over so I went to speak to the same lady and she asked me my name again and then said to follow her. There were 5 tables or more free so we had been waiting for no reason and not sure she would have remembered to come over. We ordered the shared roast board and whilst it all looked lovely, it was all at best luke warm, even the gravy. The cauliflower cheese was hot, but just highlighted the fact that nothing else was. The kids meals were fine. They did offer an alternative meal, but with the rest of the family are already eating and not knowing if the second time it’s going to be any better, I didn’t risk it. A real shame as the quality looked fine.

Nice cafe at the top of Hattonslussarna. Good freshly baked scones and coffee that became a second breakfast.

Most pubs that charge in excess of £5 a pint (and many that charge less) usually don’t object to sampling the ale before parting with hard earned cash. If you don’t like it, you choose to sample another. If you do this twice, it is hardly justification to show abject irritation. However, the server (young tall guy with curly hair) was clearly irritated and felt at liberty to show it when my wife decided to try some samples of ale, and instead opted for a lager. The lager she ordered was thrust down on the bar in front of us with an obvious air of irritation. Hasn’t this young guy had any training in how to deal with customers? He made us feel very unwelcome with his bellicose demeanor. I suggest this bar worker reflect on the fact his wages come ultimately from customers and that he ought to show a little more patience In future. Additionally, practically every table on the terrace and in the garden was littered with empty glasses, crisp packets and cigarette ends. It wasn’t overly busy so I’m sure someone could have busied themselves clearing up. This pub could be great given its wonderful location, but it seemed on the shabby side compared to what it used to be, and, sadly, at least some members of staff need to work on their manners.

Didn't eat there but the atmosphere was good. We shared a table in the bar with local people......made very welcome.

Very friendly staff, dog friendly. Only had drinks no food at this time. Very clean inside and out. Lovely views over the canal.

Due to a mix up with the booking (our fault) they didn’t have a table for 7 of us. Although the place was almost full the manager worked miracles and within 10 minutes he had us sat down at a table. The service was 1st class. The Sunday roast was delicious, the wine superb, the atmosphere buzzing. Thank you so much.

Service was absolutely brilliant, my first time going. Certainly won't be my last, 5 stars

Fabulous roast dinner on the terrace Lovely staff..First visit, won't be last!!

Went as a group of three to celebrate a birthday, we each had a burger and chips at about £17 each, with drinks and starters the total bill for 3 came to just under £90. Burger was Ok but not overly great, had to wait a long time for drinks -over 20mins for one pint as barrel being changed, you cannot order drinks at the bar - have to have them bought to you. They take 10% service charge automatically added to bill which is presumptuous. We all felt the same highly priced for average fare, it's a bit 'princes new clothes' syndrome As a one off experience with friends we accepted, but a nice out of town Wetherspons can offer great food and be far kinder on your pocket.

Didn't eat just went for a coffee

What is the point of having a fantastic garden if you can't take a drink and sit in it? 🤔. The terrace is tightly packed and ugly.

The food, service and the atmosphere are absolutely brilliant.. Definitely Highly Recommend 👍

Our thing was to order drinks and 2 liver pate and toast and sit outside. Tonight I wasn't allowed to order this food because it's apparently part of a fixed menu. I wasn't offered another menu to look at. I won't be back.

Unfortunately there were 2 long hairs in one of the meals, the food was still good but that makes it a little difficult to really enjoy the meal.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff , great views , a relaxing pint

Spent last Friday evening here, great spot by the canal for a beer but was really disappointed by some of the food given the pricing - had the chicken parfait starter. The bread was burnt and literally crumbled to bits, not sure why they’d serve it like that. Had the crispy beef too which was like beef jerky it was so overcooked and dry, honestly like a dog chew. Sent these back and the manager took them off the bill. Had the roast lamb main which give them their dues was a lot better and worth the money. The lamb kofta we had for mains as well was hit or miss, struggle to see how some dry koftas and flavourless couscous and a small bit of bread is £21.50 - overall £55 for two mains seems very steep. Beer options were good, but service was so slow on the terrace. Wanted a dessert but was fed up waiting for someone to take order so just asked for the bill.

Great country pub, with ample parking space, awesome beer garden and great drinks selection!

Stopped by after passing the pub for light lunch. Top service from the young staff. So polite. Got a table outside. Nice lunch. Sandwich and Mac & cheese were perfect. Small walk by canal. Very picturesque. Great place to stop.

the major problem here was the kitchen/service. our mains took 30 minutes to arrive. and they arrived before the starters. we asked for them to be taken off the bill. no effort was made to apologise. some of the food was ok, some was confused and seemed frozen. the music was terrible radio 1 chart music , overloud, not at all suited to the environment.

Well I little info for you people wanting alright food at a high price. All started good with some really nice starters and the views over looking the Canal and surrounding area. Very Friendly waitresses. Beers was nice and glasses clean. Ordered the main meals and that was not so good. Ordered the sirloin steak and that was a bit of a mistake. I really couldn’t eat mine but the chips and sauce was really good, steak was well over cooked and tasted strange. Wife had stuffed chicken with risotto and that was not so finger licking good neither more a mush. Made the waitresses aware of the problem and made changes to the bill. The waitresses were very professional and dealt with our issues well, don’t think we have ever complained anywhere before but we had high expectations to go with the prices on the menu.

Wonderful and authentic. A lovely experience!

Amazing staff, very attentive, and always smiling and friendly. We went to the burger night on Wednesday and they had a huge portions and delish chicken hot sauce options - lovely views too - a must visit!

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and right next to canals you want down. Sunday dinner was delicious

Not an enjoyable experience! On hot wednesday afternoon last week, I was served my orders of drinks in glasses at the bar for my group but then the barman immediately changed them into wobbly clear plastic cups because I asked for some food to be consumed outside on the grassed area which according to their rule "no glasses nor food are allowed on the glassed area", that is no table numbers. Alhough it's ok if table is on the tarmac a few feet away. Yet there were many others white customers enjoying their drinks in the same area. I felt unwelcome because of the barman's unfriendly attitude making no attempt to advise us to move our table to another area. We decided not to eat and drank our £24+ round of four drinks whilst watching more white customers came to the very area with drinks in the glasses.

Just had the most delicious meal off their specials - Tandoori Red Bream with Bombay Potatoes. Partner had pork Belly. Both absolutely superb. Service excellent and fantastic atmosphere.

What a great place! Varied menu with some great options. The wife said the tandoori red bream was superb! Service was top notch and the prices reasonable. Definitely going to revisit!

I visited when the revamp was done about a decade ago and was disappointed with the quality for the cost but it has changed. The food today was very good with the chilli greens side particularly good along with the pie of the day. However when you walk in the front door it’s not immediately obvious where to go if you haven’t booked a table, could do with some bar signage. The staff were helpful and nice though.

Great location and a good destination pub after a long walk with the dog. People working there are really friendly and understand dietary requirements. Would definitely come back

Nice location but disappointing food. I had fish and chips and the fish was awful. The batter was overcooked. Chips were okay. I pass often and it always looked busy so gave it a try. I won’t be going back. The waiting staff were delightful. Shame they are let down by the food.

I stumbled on this 18th cen8tury coaching inn by accident. I'm glad that i did it was such an enjoyable experience. The food, service and atmosphere was great. The place can get a bit busy because it's so popular. The prices were resonable and the menu choice was also reasonable. The toliets were clean and functional and the pub has a massive car park, so there is ample car parking space available. The inn overlooks Hatton locks where you can see the canal boats transversing up and down the numerous locks. The outside seating area is a great place to eat al fresco, especially the balcony. The public house is situated in stunning countryside. I would recommend this coaching inn, give it a try what have you got to lose.

Popped into the Hatton Arms before going for a walk down the canal. Loads of room outside including a bar. Friendly staff. Didnt have food so wont comment

Great food, good range of real ale, friendly efficient service. Would happily use again

Awesome place by the canal, perfect 👍

This is should be one of the those pubs that you want to revisit but it's clear that the owner doesn't give a damn about the customer experience. Service here is comically bad. I stood at the bar 3rd in line with one very sweet girl serving. Meanwhile, 3 other staff stood 6ft away chatting about nothing, completely ignoring the queue. The irony of one of them wearing a tee-shirt with 'have a great day' was not missed. There are confusing signs outside for toilets but these are also pointless as they are closed. We won't be back.

This place came recommended as a lunch stop on our drive from Scotland to Folkestone. Lovely location overlooking the canal! Great pitt stop with a nice lunch plus friendly staff. Quite pricey for what it was but the views made up for it! Doggy friendly too which was ideal!

Good food and service but not great.

Been here a couple of times, and the food was always excellent. This time we ordered a Lamb Burger and Fish & Chips. Generous portions and high quality food. There's an outdoor seating area with amazing views. The service was excellent too.

Coming from ascot back home just called in the Hatton arms for something to eat it was 5 stars for food. Sweet. And drinks and the staff was brilliant 👏 ⁰

The location and setting of this pub is quite simply stunning! views over Warwickshire are incredible and on a nice summer day there are few places to match.......however......sadly I can't say the same for the food, I ordered a roast board to share which sounded great, although the pub was busy it turned up within a few sips of beer......not good in my book, It was luke warm and I honestly have cooked better roasts myself, don't get me wrong it was ok....but only just ok, I have had far better elsewhere but I expected better tbh, would I go again? for a drink yes absolutely if only to admire the beautiful surroundings, I would think twice about ordering food, a shame really as it's got everything going for it, for the price I expected at least 4 stars......it's 3 stars from me and thats being kind!

Arrived at around 4pm on a Saturday. Plenty of table available. But told by bar staff that due to a large number of reservations, they were not able to take food orders. Apart from side orders?! Rediculous

Great location, great food but when you ask for something a bit different (a latte) it takes a wee bit longer but that can happen.

Great pub is the Hatton arms wonderful food and spot on service can't tell you what a surprise when the food arrived 1st rate hopefully a return visit on the way back on our boating holiday,

Menu not has seen on line had to reorder 2 meals as no longer available waiter should have known that when serving 2 out of 3 steaks ordered should of been well done but were mediums lemonade was flat paid in cash but change not given back this was for my birthday will not come back and not recommend going here

Nice visit. Staff seemed distracted.

Great food, nice traditional pub surroundings, and friendly helpful staff.

Great place to visit had lunch with a friend part of a day out. Lovely setting and the weather was nice which added to it as well. Recommended

On completion of my meal I was asked how it was, I honestly answered, “the steak was not very good, as it was tough and overcooked”, I did not say it was terrible and inedible! as I did eat all the steak, however, the waitress felt it necessary to say, “it looks like it”, sarcastically meaning, well you’ve eaten it all, I paid my £200 bill, which also included the service charge, my comments were never about trying to get something for nothing, they were constructive criticism for the kitchen and should have been taken on board as such. I found this very rude and disrespectful!

Nice enough but something just wasn’t right

Good pub. Lovely atmosphere, tasty food and good service. We didn't have a reservation but there were plenty of tables free, so why did the 'man in power' tell us we'd have to wait 20 minutes. He could simply have sat us and used the waiting time to allow us to consume drinks in comfort.

Very busy and food not served in garden. Expensive for what you get, about £17.50 for a burger with some fries and mayo, no garnish. I ordered raspberry pavlova for dessert at £7.50. At other places this has come in a sundae glass with lots of meringue, cream and fruit. Not this one, appeared to be one of the round meringue cases you buy in the supine a pack of six. Two raspberries and a bit of juice and the rest cream. Wouldn't go again as much better places not too far.

Popped in after walking my dog up the canal path and spent most of the afternoon enjoying the warm bank holiday weekend weather. Didn’t have any food, but from what I saw it look appetising.

Excellent food and fabulous views over Warwickshire and beyond

Nice big garden with lovely views

4 of us dropped in on return from Cotswolds and had a great steak and cheese ciabatta with chips which was pretty large and gorgeous. 1 of our party doesn't eat cheese and they did her a chicken ciabatta as a special. Staff were excellent and service fabulous. I would happily recommend a visit

Great place to go to eat, or just have a drink.

Really poor lunch selection and ypoor. Soup arrived cool was over spiced with curry and dried up bread. Service was good

Food was fantastic and the service from Hannah was lovely and awesome.

Great staff, food was excellent, and the view from the terrace is fabulous

Fantastic place. Very nice food. Great staff

The best food and service ever ! My mother in law brought my wife and I here for lunch today. While she had eaten here previously, neither my wife or I had. What we experienced was truly amazing. The food was of outstanding quality and extremely good value for money ! Couple that with 1st class service from all the members of staff who served us throughout our meal and we had an unforgettable time. This place a amazing and we can't recommend it highly enough. If you've not yet tried it we would suggest you do as soon as possible !

Loved it, clean and well thought out. Food was excellent. With a great view of the lock's.

What a shame a pub with such beautiful views and location to have mediocre food, extortionate prices and hostile service. We went there to enjoy a bit of the views with a drink and they made us seat next to the toilets in a crumbed table that wouldn’t fit even kids because the tables were reserved for food! The place was empty all the time we stayed there! not to mention being attacked by a customer’s dog whose owners didn’t even apologised! Long lived British hospitality!!!

Fab food, atmosphere and service

Good food, good beer and excellent service.

Lovely place over priced for what its is praen cocktail as it says on tin nowt special and mixed roast was a bit of let down but overall good

Great place! OK can be a little on the pricey side of things, but still a very nice place to visit and great views out on the decked rear of the pub

Six of us had lunch here on a very busy Saturday with all tables full but the service was excellent and the food delicious. The ambiance of the place is lovely and we shall go again soon.

Went here for a Sunday lunch. For the price, I thought it was OK- nothing wrong with it, but certainly nothing memorable. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Not sure they are justified in putting 10% on your bill automatically for service. Lots of places do it, and you can ask for it to be removed, but it is nevertheless a bit presumptuous for what is ultimately an average Sunday roast.

Very poor food. Vegan wellington was worse than eating un-seasoned dry wall. Service was alright. The crumble was cooked fruit compote and uncooked porridge oats on top. Would not come here again even for a free meal. Only reason I didn’t kick off was because it was Mothers Day and didn’t want to ruin my mum’s day.

We were visiting the area for a work event, spotted the pub on the way past. Glad we went, food was lovely and the staff were fantastic, really good service. We had team from the NL visiting and one had his first ever fish and chips, which is now a new favourite! thanks guys 😊

Stumbled on this pub on our way back home. Service was excellent, very fast and everyone was so friendly (sorry I can't remember anyone's name..) and the FOOD. Fishcakes were phenomenal.

It’s always difficult as a family to find a place to eat - an hour away for everyone . This pub was a perfect meeting place . The service was excellent , the waitresses were so efficiently ent , polite and professional . Food lovely 😻 quite expensive but worth it

What a nice place for lunch. My first time here with friends and we had a 12.00 table. Don't bother turning up any earlier as the doors won't be unlocked until 12.00. For a lunch service perhaps open a wee bit earlier but it wasn't a show stopper. Staff were great, welcoming, professional and courteous. Which kind of justifies the added service charge but I would have yippee generously anyway for service like we received. Menu isn't huge but that's sensible because food wad very acceptable. I will definitely be paying another visit to the HA when the sunshine comes back as its location next to the locks begs an al fresco dining experience! Malcolm Clarke Rugby March 2024

Lovely place ,relaxing place staff very accommodating.

"A Thursday afternoon" on arrival told there was a 15minute wait for a table(could see quit a few empty tables at this point) and was asked too take a seat and we will be called which was fine. Forty minutes later was wondering what was going on so asked the woman who was front of house what was happening. She had forgot! (even tho she walked past us about 10 times and put us in the laptop). Then she showed us too are table "which was empty whole time we was there" with no menu. We was sitting there another 10minutes without a menu until we decided too leave. It seemed such a nice place in a nice location, but the service was absolutely terrible!!!!!

We visited in January for a birthday meal,the food was absolutely delicious and the waiting staff were excellent,we did not wait long between meals. We will definitely visit again and would highly recommend The Hatton Arms. Special mention to Ellena Hannah and Ellie who are all a credit to this restaurant, thank you all.

We love visiting the Hatton Arms. It has a great atmosphere, whether that's indoors in the winter, sitting next to the fire with a bottle of wine, or outdoors in the summer, sipping a gin and tonic in the sunshine, overlooking the canal. Steph and the team are always friendly and welcoming. We come here regularly but recently had dinner on a Sunday afternoon with our young child. We both had the delicious Hatton Arms burger (never disappoints!), and the children's portions were really generous. We're lucky to have such a great pub on our doorstep; it's always a pleasure!

Came in for Sunday lunch. Very beautiful, very busy with everyone including customers and staff being in high spirits. Good drink variety with some very nice cocktails. The manager was also extremely lovely as well.

Great atmosphere. Lovely food. The fondue night on Wednesday looks great. We will be returning soon.

The Hatton Arms is a contemporary and casual drinking and dining experience. The restaurant serves a superb range of classic cask ales and fresh British food. The environment is a perfect blend of traditional and modern design, with an open fire and alfresco dining options. The restaurant is located alongside the Hatton Locks, offering breathtaking views of the ‘stairway to heaven’

Great Sunday lunch. Lots of variety and trimmings . Really lovely . Service was Good and drinks nice too. Not been for years but did not disappoint

We came here on the back of many rave reviews from friends and colleagues saying this was a great place and great value restaurant. So with my parents and my family we tried it out. Unfortunately the hype did not meet the expectation. The food is good and not going to diminish that. However, the value for what you got was less than expected. There are local restaurants in Leamington that have similar quality but better prices. The ambience is pleasant with view overlooking the countryside and there is ample parking. So not a bad place, but just don't believe the hype. Difficult to say whether I'd recommend as it is not a bad place, and the food is good. But from what I was expecting I was disappointed. Try it once and if you have a good experience, then great. I probably won't go in the too near future as there are other pub restaurants around that I would like to try.

Excelente servicio y ambiente. Comida normal; un poco cara.

Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Definitely one of our favourite places.

OMG, so many times I have driven past and thought I would love to eat there, but the car park is always full. So pre-booked for the 23rd Dec and can now see why. We had come from Hatton World and arrived 45 minutes early. We had a drink in the waiting area, and before we knew it, we were being seated. The food was delicious, just the right amount and very tasteful. It is dog friendly. Beautifully decorated, large decking area overlooking the barges and plenty of space in the garden for the summer days. So much so we are going back in January. PREBOOK ADVISABLE

Lamb burger was very nice. It break averages it at £35 / head
