The New Bowling Green in Warwick

This pub is glorious. Jess, Adam and the staff team are the tightest of tight-knit bands. They've all got each other's backs, and new staff become part of the team and "get" the culture in the blink of an eye - it must be infectious! The beers are lovely. The food is home-cooked magic. In summer, the walled garden is a sun-dappled sanctuary from the bustle of life. In winter, the twinkling lights and open fires warm the soul. We love the New Bowling Green!!!

Just a great pub with great ‘real’ food. Absolute gem.

A busy pub with great beer, the staff are all really friendly. The beer garden is great in summer

Very friendly Very good price and very dog 🐕 friendly

Great service but small portions for the ££

We haven't eaten here yet, but we have heard the food is good. The pub has a really warm atmosphere with friendly staff. Yes we would definitely recommend it.

What an excellent and pretty pub in the heart of Warwick! We visited as part of a family group and had a lovely evening and a delicious meal. There’s a great choice (including lots of vegetarian options) and we all enjoyed our dishes. The owners are so friendly and helpful - thank you. We will definitely return.

Every time we visit my son and daughter in law in Warwick they take us to their favourite local and it has become ours too. The staff are so welcoming and do their utmost to give you a really nice time. The atmosphere is wonderful- we were there for the semi final of the World Cup and for carols in the garden at Christmas and lots of other times and have enjoyed their delicious food every time especially the pies!

Definitely recommend! Great atmosphere, incredibly friendly owners, tasty food and amazing drinks! Can’t wait to come back again

Lovely bar maid. Had a pint of London Pride, it was bland and well over priced. Lovely looking pub though

Best place for a fondue in Warwick!

Friendly atmosphere. Food was very good, and good portions too. Service was excellent. Will definitely visit again.

Popped in for dinner before the Ibiza Orchestra night in the park and although it was only 5pm it was very busy. Menu choices were good. Service was speedy and friendly and the food was excellent. The crumble was fantastic to finish off the meal. I would definitely choose to eat here again.

We celebrated my husbands 40th here on Saturday evening, as a party of 14. We pre ordered a week before which helped loads and made the evening go smoothly. Jess is very good at communicating so all was very straight forward. I took a cake and balloons up before hand and Bethan the Manageress was excellent at sorting all that for me that evening. The food came out all together and everything was very tasty and the service was fantastic. Thanks again for helping organise another lovely evening with you.

Lovely pub with a great garden. And I still love you all ! Please be a success. ❤❤

By far, the best pub in Warwick

Amazing food. Excellent staff. Beautiful inside and out. They have family games in the garden. It's dog friendly. Can be accessed from the little path by St Nicholas Park car park or via the main road. The food was to die for. There were 5 of us and not one complaint from adults or kids.

Lovely pub , helpful staff , lovely garden

Had dinner last night. Fabulous steak pie for me and fish and chips for my friend. Excellent service and great food. Would highly recommend

The best Guinness, by a long way, we had in Warwick. A fantastic pint of the black stuff!

We visited this pub on a recent night out in Warwick, and after 4 bars found this to be the best in terms of service and drinks on offer, shame we arrived near last orders. Next time we'll be in earlier!

visited on a whim today with friends, had a wonderful time. excellent food decently priced, friendly staff, great outdoor space. next time i’m in warwick i’ll definitely be paying another visit!

This pub is a regular haunt of mine, I’ve tried lots of different things off the menu and all have been delicious (particular shout out to the halloumi fries and chicken skewers which I seem to have most often). Good choices of beer, friendly staff and giant beer garden which is great for kids as there’s lots of space to play.

Just to say a massive Thank you to the fabulous team at The Bowling Green as it was my first visit and had a fabulous time outside in the garden with friends and new friends after the Leamington Pride ..🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Although Bethan wasn’t on duty she was still looking after everyone and the food which was prepared by the fabulous Bart which was mmmmm soooo good as the halloumi fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which is how they should be ..👌👌 I also had the broccoli wings in crispy batter ..the food came out to the table hot and with a speedy service after ordering with Mackenzie and then also had to mention Rianna as she was also there and made me feel so welcome as both of them looked so happy to help ..🙏🙏

2 cold small sausages rolls cut in 2, with some iceberg lettuce, peeled carrot and a tiny bit of chutney for £6.95 each. Not good, sorry 😕. Mediocre service as well, completely ignored by one ignorant diva behind the bar. Rest of the staff were lovely though.

The best beer garden in Warwick.

Great beer garden, had some Cheesy garlic bread & fried chicken & chips basket, very tasty and good value!

This little gem of a venue is absolutely beautiful, all staff we a dream, food was amazing, not one thing I can say negative, its a family friendly place. Really happy we found it and definitely come again.

Nice 0lace, friendly efficient staff. The beer garden is lovely with shade if needed

Went in here for a family gathering and we had a brilliant time we sat in the Garden where there is a small bar with selected drinks but what you couldn't find there the had inside

Good choice of well kept real ales and fabulous pub garden. Friendly and efficient service.

Visited for Sunday lunch, booked day before, v busy, friendly staff, we all ate roasts, quick service, large portions overall but not a lot of meat, v tasty roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds, vegs overcooked, good pint of Tribute. Overall good, more a 31/2 than a 4, probably will not revisit.

Great pub. A good pint, probably the best pint of Guinness in Warwick to be honest. Fantastic pub garden, best place to go in Warwick when the sun is shining. Didn't eat there but the food that was coming out looked great, will have to try it out next time.

A comforting environment to see the end of England’s Euros campaign. Friendly crowd, screen in the garden. Plenty of staff.

A hidden gem with great atmosphere in the open air garden. Children playing, dogs laying around at properly distanced outdoor tables - a rarely found family friendly environment. The food is excellent, the staff is well prepared and helpful in case of food intolerances, always cheerful and ready to go the extra mile. Prices are also quite good, you're getting great value and quality time spent for your money.

We stumbled upon this tavern two years ago and the people were lovely and the food was the best meal I've ever had. I still think about it. I'm going to make it back soon!

Lovely little hideaway with a fab garden and was so lovely and food was brilliant staff friendly and helpfull we r takin friends bck there as we were so impressed

The Sunday roasts looked great with a nice variety of veg. Neither of us have large appetites but a Sunday roast sounded too tempting. We chose the small version. We were so disappointed to be served a couple of chicken drumsticks, two roast potatoes, a small ball of stuffing and a very small Yorkshire pudding and some gravy. We didn't expect a lot but we did expect the ingredients on the menu.

Such a shame as after reading reviews we were very much looking forward to a great Sunday lunch. Out reserved table had three chairs for four of us so we had to wait a few minutes to be seated and then due to the nature of the floors the table was very wonky and we had to ask for it to be stabilised to avoid spilling drinks etc. this is all ok other than we’d booked so this should have been sorted beforehand. Pork lunch was good so two of us happy (they only had 2 portions left at 1.15pm) but the beef is cooked overnight so no chance of a lovely rare slice - just a slab of dry (albeit good quality before it was overcooked) meat along with overcooked veg and something resembling cauliflower but not too sure? Crumble was delicious but not what was advertised (again had run out of some fruit). A shame as it’s nearly there but does t quite hit the spot. One super efficient member of staff who has been there a while but if you don’t get her you struggle with the pleasant but not that efficient others. Too many other places in Warwick to choose from to risk visiting again sadly.

The beer garden was excellent for kids and dogs

Didn't think much to the vegan beef wellington could of been better rest was good

Glorious beer garden accessible from the park. Cruzcampo on tap too.

First place we spotted, definitely not disappointed, great beer selection, good choice menu and excellent food, delightfully pleasant young lady serving.

Accomodated us at very short notice (within an hour and a half) with a dog on a Saturday evening, impressive to start. Parking, non existent outside the pub but if you head around to St Nicholas Park, you can walk through to the back of the pub garden, about 30 seconds walk. The venue had a wedding party so it was very busy and as it was a beautiful evening, they had all congregated in the garden (which also had ample seating). We had a lovely table in a cosy area reserved, staff were very bright & bubbly and took our drinks order very quickly. We couldn't believe how reasonably priced the main menu was, and some of the food, a lovely alternative to the mundane pub food we usually see, I would definitely recommend the ploughman's or the chicken skewers! So refreshing to see how much of the food was genuinely homemade, and made very well too! We couldn't resist dessert, they too were all homemade and delicious! This place and it's staff deserve a 5* review, what an absolute gem!

First - and last - visit here, but it's only the last 'cos I'm moving from Warwick in a couple of weeks. It's almost a reason to stay. Food was great, as were the staff and service. Can't find fault at all. Highly recommended to residents and visitors. Thanks for a great evening guys and gals.

Really lovely Sunday roasts. Nice atmosphere and service. Tasty puddings too. Children's menu was good and portion sizes were great. Would recommend to others.

A lovely pub with great beer and wonderful bar staff

Nice pub and Beer gardens. And good food. Also very attentive staff. Would recommend to friends and family.

Wonderfully accommodating and helpful, really made my son's christening special. Delicious food and great service, thank you Jessica and team ☺️

Top draw. It was very welcoming on a wet, miserable day. Dog friendly, great food, great service, great staff. Second visit, and will be back next time we visit our family in Warwick. Thanks from all The Fishers.

Lovely food and beer excellent service

Friendly pub, with a typical British menu, good selection of ales, lagers and ciders etc.. On a cold day on April, my friends and I popped in for food. We had 2 Chicken, bacon & leek pies, with mash n veg, which was delicious. And a burger with mash too instead of fries, we were all very satisfied and the staff were great too.

The pie was out of this world. Went 2 days in a row as I can't say no to a pint of staropraman. The 1st day sat outside as it was packed. The second day managed to grab a table. The pie was probably the beat I've ever had. Lovely manager and staff.

On 2 occasions short notice the staff have accommodated 9 of us and a dog. The food was welcoming the staff were outstanding!

Called in for a quick bite to eat on the way back from the Cotswolds. Can I how friendly and helpful the staff were. The food was really good too and there is a nice garden when the weather is nice.

What a fantastic pub! They managed a table of 17 with ease, drinks regularly refreshed if needed, food service was excellent. The food was superb. The beer was kept beautifully, a credit to the staff! We will be back

Along with my wife, daughter, granddaughter and our little Cavachon we had lunch today at the New Bowling Green, Warwick. The pub is very dog friendly, the food and choices are excellent and the young lady who was our waitress gave us excellent service. I would definitely recommend using this establishment.

We chose The New Bowling Green as the venue for a special celebration with family. There were 22 of us so we pre-ordered and the food all came out very swiftly and nobody was left waiting for their food. All orders were correct and the food was delicious. We were allocated a section of the pub which felt very private and we were able to access this a little earlier to decorate the tables. The staff couldn’t have been anymore helpful in making our get together a huge success. Thank you Jess, Adam and all of your team.

That was the best meal out all 12 of us had marvelus food good atmosphere. Could not fault it we will definitely be going again soon thanks so much

A lovely tradition feel pub, with friendly staff, who delivered excellent service, when my family took me there for an early Mother's Day meal today 09-03-2024. There were five adults and three children. We enjoyed a side room to ourselves, where the children could be themselves. We were made to feel very welcome. The food was superb. All home cooked and very good value for money. Looking forward to going back there soon.

I just love it here. I would give it more stars if I could. The staff couldn't be nicer, the food and drinks are delicious, the price is reasonable and it's a lovely cosy place to be.

Had a lovey time here today very welcoming thanks guys you were the best we will return ❤ 😊

Only a small place, but very good meals at reasonable prices. Veggie lasagne and home made streak and red wine pie. Crumble could have been a bit more 'fruity'. Cheesecake was very generous portion. Lovely, attentive staff. Well worth a visit.

Very welcoming old pub, we stumbled upon this place and booked an evening meal for 6 of us. Food was delicious but the friendly staff are what makes this place extra special.

Went for after work drinks with colleagues, if it smells like a pub and it looks like a pub then it is a pub, I mean it is a ye olde style country pub with all the smells and century old walls and furniture but also with zero pretentious people and nice selection of beers, food and wine. Will certainly recommend. The only drawbacks are its size: in winter it is difficult to accommodate large groups. 22 of us took over half of the place, and lack of parking.

We went for Sunday lunch and it was okay. There was a lack of vegan options when compared with the menus online. The food was quick and tasty and there were a couple of decent desserts.

What a great pub, super food menu with a great choice of drinks. The service was good and the food was all very good indeed. The lamb cobbler comes highly recommended and the puddings all went down well, too well. An absolutely highly recommended place to eat in Warwick.

We really loved the people working at this place. Genuine smiles and great food.

Tried out this pub for a meal on Saturday evening, whilst visiting Warwick for the weekend. Staff were friendly and helpful. The owner is also friendly. Food was excellent, so we returned for a roast dinner on Sunday evening. Slow cooked roast beef was delicious. Deserts also very good. Would recommend sticky toffee pudding! Already thinking about a return visit to Warwick so we can sample more of the menu 😋

Superb Sunday lunch, fast, friendly service. Could not fault. Will be back very soon

Can't comment on the food as I was only there for a drink or two, but a lovely pub, friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere.

Wonderful New Years Eve filled with conversation, laughter, friendship and auld lang syne. Perfect start to 2024

18 family and friends for pre booked xmas lunch. Fabulous festive pie from the Christmas menu and good service. No waiting for drinks and all food as ordered in a well managed pub

Lovely food, made from scratch. First time I've been in for a while. Had beef in red wine pie, full of tender meat and served with proper home made gravy. Great atmosphere, nice and relaxed with the fires roaring away. Highly recommend. Worth booking, we got lucky as a walk in!

Lovely welcoming traditional pub with friendly staff and a warming fire. Well worth a visit

We had the best experience here today and will definitely be returning! We booked to visit Warwick castle light trail as a Xmas family treat and decided last minute to book somewhere for a late lunch. Being a group of 9 we were not expecting many options for food however they fit us in. When we arrived we had a lovely cosy little area to ourselves and from the moment we walked in we were greeted with the most excellent customer service. The staff were so attentive and were very friendly with our 3 young children. Then there was the food!! Wow! Everything was freshly made and just the type of comfort food you look for this time of year. 5 out of 6 adults had the lamb cobbler which tasted amazing! So much flavour! The only thing that was missing was a wedge of crusty bread to lap up the scraps at the bottom of the pot! My partner had the marinated pan fried chicken and he said it was the yummiest meal he has had in a while and hasn’t stopped going on about it. The childrens menu was typical for a normal pub menu but we were surprised to see a mini lamb cobbler as a child’s option! The kids chose fish fingers and chips and the macaroni cheese which was all really good quality for children’s meals. They too thoroughly enjoyed their food. We all had puddings which were all delicious and all plates were left clean! We will definitely be returning very soon!

I’ve heard the Buttons run this place…my waistline would beg to differ! Lovely pints, lovely food and the garden is smashing!

Went here for our work Christmas meal and we couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. Staff are so friendly and laid back, the food was delicious and reasonably priced too

We had a family Christmas get together here for 15 people. The service and food was outstanding. We pre ordered a week before which made everything so much easier on the day. The food as always was really delicious and all came out at the same time. All 15 people absolutely enjoyed their meals. All staff were very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly. Thanks again to the whole team, we hope you have a lovely christmas.

We had a really nice Christmas meal and would definitely come back. Good vegetarian options

So friendly. Lovely relaxed and cosy vibe.

Nice, cosy family friendly pub.

So so so much better than the old bowling green. No offence.

Went with a friend for a Sunday roast lunch, spoilt for choice on the selection. Lovely meal followed by homemade mincepies and icecream. Malbec was lovely too followed by an earl grey tea. A roaring fire on a wet winter afternoon in an oldy worldy setting with beamed ceiling nicely decorated with Christmas decorations and lights. Excellent service with very attentive staff. This is a good value, homestyle cooking at it's best. (Parking just at the rear too). Highly recommend!

Great little pub. Food and service was fantastic.

Really delicious homemade roast dinner. The service was prompt and friendly throughout. The pub itself is cosy and welcoming, and beautifully decorated for Christmas. We’ll be back!

Quite cold on the day we went so expected the pub to have more fires going

I’ve been a couple of times at the weekend with my boyfriend and we always have the best experience here. It’s delicious food (especially the chicken burgers, roast dinners and the sticky toffee pudding!) and such a nice atmosphere. We especially love it at the moment with the cosy fire on and the twinkly Christmas lights overhead. It’s such a lovely atmosphere- we always end up staying ages and ordering dessert and more wine because we don’t want to leave. Easily our fave pub in Warwick!

This is such a lovely place. Fantastic atmosphere and really nice staff. I'll definitely be going back.

My new favourite pub in Warwick since the new owners have taken over. Great staff, great service, warm cosy atmosphere in the winter and fab garden for the summer. Keep up the good work 👍

Very nice food and friendly service.

Excellent service, restaurant area and food.

Fantastic pub , fantastic people , fantastic service , fantastic food !! Have I mention , it’s fantastic !! A must try !!!

Simply put, this is the best pub in Warwick. The welcome is always warm, the family who own and the people who work here are friendly, polite and go out of their way to get to know you. The food is excellent, proper home cooked nosh, presented well, good portions and proper tasty! The fish pie is the best I've eaten out. There's a good choice of beers, with some of the brewery's new brews on rotation. The people serving actively seek feedback about both the food and beer, keen to know if everything is up to scratch, it always is. Families and dogs are welcome, thought is very obviously put into making everyone welcome. There's a big beer garden for sunny days and a fire for colder spells. We love our visits to The New Bowling Green, congratulations and thank you to all who work there for making it what it is.

Lovely, cosy place to go, definitely recommend a visit

We come here a lot and it’s our fave Warwick pub to take the kids too. Great garden with garden games to play with the kids and backs straight on to St nicks park so you can make an afternoon of it. We treated ourselves to Sunday lunch the other weekend and it was delicious. We all had a pudding and they were huge and tasty. The meat was melt in the mouth and delicious. Staff were friendly and it’s got a great atmosphere.

Food & service here was amazing, for my starter I had the Camembert which is always delicious. For my main I had the Halloumi burger with fries which is give an 11/10 for! For dessert I had the warm chocolate brownie which is always good. I would highly recommend coming here for dinner, the food is always perfection & the service is the best.

Superb atmosphere in a lovely building. I shall be back!

This is a tough one to write. We really wanted to have a lovely meal to catch up with each other. The service was painfully slow. Everything had to be chased up. That said, the starter was lovely. We both had the Scotch egg. For mains, we both had lamb cobbler. It was tasty but I think I got the last portion out of the slow cooker as it was very low on meat compared to my husbands portion. Then we had pudding.... this is when it really went downhill. We both had cheesecake. We were about to tuck in when we noticed the rim was completely mouldy with blue mould. We quietly raised the issue to not cause a big uproar to be told it was normal?! It was a raspberry cheesecake. Raspberries are not blue and furry, in patches on the edge of food. We asked for the bill which again we had to chase to pay and to add insult to injury, the staff were eating the mouldy cheesecake behind the bar as we left!!! Such a shame.
