Fabulous 'normal' pub with an indian cuisine restaurant and takeaway above it. Much appreciated service and reasonably priced.

Traditional pub with a good selection of well-kept beer and a warm welcome from the lady behind the bar. We came here for a drink before heading upstairs to the India restaurant which is 10/10. Will be sure to visit again next time I'm in the area.

Nice pub in Meriden, walked the mile here while staying locally and worth it. Lovely Bar Team who were friendly as were the locals despite me the non local being in their pub which is always a good sign. Beers good quality but not quite the range for me but offset by lively external seating areas front and back and an on site Indian restaurant- wasn't able to use the latter but the food smelled amazing so maybe next time. Worth a stop

We were staying in the hotel up the road, but like somewhere more relaxed to have a drink. This place was just right, good beer and a nice atmosphere.

Great Draft Bass, shame the Citra ran out one of my favourite beers. Speckled Hen was also on but I find it a bit bland also Bath Gem.

Very much a local’s pub and a very high proportion of customers are older men. Everyone is friendly, but it can get very loud and drown out conversation. My father-in-law loves it. Food generally isn’t available as there’s an Indian restaurant/takeaway upstairs but there are snacks.

Bought a pint and stsrted speaking to my friend who also happened to be there, tried eating my packet of crisps but was told I cant in the pub. I took my crisps outside with my pint just for a manager to take away my pint, which I paid for, with no explanation and was very rude and overly aggressive for no reason. He went into the pub, gave me a refund but then said I was banned. Terrible experience, would not return even if I wasn't banned! I think it was because Im an older female and I doubt he would've swiped the pint off another man.

We went on a Sunday lunch time to meet up with friends for a catch up. There were 7 of us. We found the staff to be lovely, very chatty and jovial. It had an old fashioned feel to it. Definitely a drinkers pub. We didn't have food, just crisps. There wasn't any loud music, just locals chatting and playing cribbage. Some bikers came, they sat outside and were very friendly as we were chatting to them as we left. Very pretty looking pub with a couple of benches and tables outside. They have some parking at the side but as my husband is disabled we parked on the road outside. Would definitely go back again. We would like to try their Indian restaurant upstairs.

Nice looking pub, very old which is nice as it has charm. Prices were cheap but the food reflected this which is a shame. Bit of a weird atmosphere when you walk in and the locals propping up the bar look at you like you are a tourist and not exactly welcoming. Wouldn't return as the food wasnt enjoyable, it's a shame as with the style of the pub and how it's secluded this could be a real hidden gem but it's lacking quite a bit

Appalling experience through and through. Where do I even begin? Firstly, the staff are absolutely miserable and treat you like dirt. It's like they hate their job and they're taking it out on you. Furthermore, this place is as clicky as they come. Don't expect to feel welcome as you enter and all the locals sitting at the bar all pass you up with eyes of fire like you're some sort of scumbag or scourge because you're not from around there. It's actually quite sickening. Could it get any worse? Oh, yes it can! Don't get me started on the owners. They're rude, miserable and won't treat you with an ounce of respect unless you are local. Not only that, but a good friend of mine actually WORKED here as the groundsman and he said about how the male owner wasn't willing to pay him barely minimum wage to keep the grounds maintained, and HE had to gall to fire HIM! Clearly the owners do not care about you if you're not local, they don't care about their workers and they're not interested in investing in their establishment to keep its premises and grounds looking their best. If you see the other reviews stating how scruffy the garden looks, this is why. But wait, there's more! After going through the absolute trial of finally getting to the bar to order because of the locals being unwilling to let us past, dealing with the miserable barmaid, having a long wait and then being served quite frankly subpar food, I cannot give this a low enough score. 1 star is being outrageously generous. So, to conclude and summarise: - Unprofessional, miserable, rude staff; - Vile owners; - Potential breaches of the modern slavery act taking place; - Clicky; - High prices that do not reflect the quality of the food and drinks. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. PLEASE.

Whilst waiting to go to the Meriden Spice with the family, we managed (6 of us) to get a table in the pub. As this was social distancing times, we were given the buzzer and when ready we could order our drinks. The bar lady was really pleasant and served our drinks to the table. Enjoyable. Unlikely to go again, as I'm not likely to be going to Meriden (no reason to), but if you do go, then you'll enjoy. PS. Unsure what the situation is like now.
