The Rose Inn in Rugby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Interesting menu Attentive staff, well presented meals Enjoyed the meal ordered found it well cooked

The pub that everyone wished was their local. Great food and amazing hospitality from the owners and their team. Wife and I were visiting for a long weekend and booked a table on Saturday. The food was that good that we changed our plans to came back again on the Sunday for a roast. Very dog friendly, owners dog sat downstairs, ours was allowed under the tables and a water bowl was brought. Can imagine it’s a beautiful pub in the summer. Thank you to the team for some lovely meals (The pie was a ‘proper pie’, not just a pastry lid - highly recommend)

What a beautiful pub! Our hosts were so friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious! A perfect country pub and highly recommended.

What a lovely little gem! Food was perfectly cooked and everyone was so polite. We were talking to the chef and his wife and they could not have been more welcoming. Thank you! We will definitely be back.

Nice village pub has good selection of beers

Enjoyed a lovely home cooked meal here - chicken and duck mains were juicy and sauces very flavourful. Cosy table by the fire with our dog. Friendly and welcoming staff, would visit again.

The most wonderful pub/restaurant! Fabulous food. Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic friendly and professional staff! Highly recommended!!

Lovely meal. With family would recommend. Friendly staff

Lovely old pub, friendly team, very accommodating. Highly recommended.

Good food in pleasant surroundings

Great atmosphere, Great food, Great service we highly recommend the Rose Inn. Fantastic pub with traditional food, a massive garden and playground to keep your kids occupied.

Wonderful atmosphere, warm and cosy in a nice rural village. Food was wonderful and inexpensive (I'm from London, mind!) Only downside NO SIGNAL! And no comp WiFi. Upside, quiet uninterrupted Sunday Lunch!

Great little place. Full of character and really nice staff. Head chef is a gentleman indeed - food was fantastic, will definitely return. Nice selection on the bar too.

Honestly didn't like it, even though I grew in the village I thought id take a trip down memory lane . Which is wasn't as it used to be a real pub back then. It wasn't busy yet the service was slow. Even though the landlord and lady was there ,they didn't even say hello, wasn't very welcoming was it? Asked what beer 🍺 was on to be told no ales from the pumps only bottled bitter. No variety of rums and bourbon, just regular ones.Not very good at all really. One pint of flat lager and a small glass of wine £10.50 a little pricey.

Great food and lovely atmosphere love it there .

Lovely food and friendly service.

Nice enough pub but ran out of beer

Oh dear, food and coffee was nice but the young staff need some training. We had to try and get someone's attention 3 times before they finally came over. Paying for the bill was also an known that needed to be worked out. Doesn't seem to be any process or training and when we went in it wasn't even busy so that's not the excuse. Hopefully they will take this onboard and improve as it is a nice little pub in a nice area.

lovely & homely really enjoyed the ambience, food was delish x

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, so much food, couldn't eat it all. Had a good choice of other dishes as well. Would definitely visit again.

Thank you so much for a great lunch today! The pub was quiet, but the 4 of us and my 4 month old son were made to feel so welcome. Food was very tasty, and we were put under no pressure at all to clear out at the end. The Rose was exactly what we needed on a wet Saturday lunchtime. If you're in the area and need good pub then just head over and enjoy!

Do not bother. We turned up at 6.30 on a Wednesday to find them closed. Specifically moored nearby to walk to this pub and were excited to visit. Does not advertise that a pre booking is needed anywhere. Doesnt answer repeated calls. Need to work on communication. I would expect they'd WANT my money considering the previous 18 months? Apparently not!!

Lovely little pub with excellent food. We ordered food on Monday (as a prebooked table), as a vegan I was extremely happy for a dessert (Don't get any these days). Biggest disappointment was them telling me they don't do vegan dessert anymore. Cosy location with the staff being so attentive and allowing dogs in is a bonus.

We had a lovely evening meal takeaway on Friday evening from Gillian, Rudi and co. at The Rose. Following staff recommendation, I opted for the steak and ale pie (which was fantastic) and my wife had the curry of the day which was equally so tasty. Both topped off by lemon cheesecake which was lovely Lovely historic village pub in the heart of Willoughby with cosy atmosphere and a warm welcome guaranteed, great choice of beers and wines, and delicious food. Needless to say, The Rose comes highly recommended 🍴🍽 🍺🥂🍷🥃

nice juicy steaks 🥩 and yummy desserts🍧

Lovely pub slightly disappointed by the calves liver which was over cooked but hey ho we just enjoyed eating out again in a lovely place. Thank you 😊 Fish was great

Lovely owners and staff, beers good, restaurant is well presented, lovely village,

Anne & I had Sunday lunch there today. Surroundings very pleasant & tranquil. Food excellent. Timothy Taylor served at the perfect temperature. All in all and excellent lunch. The landlady & the staff we're very attentive & pleasant. Must be repeated.

Very friendly and relaxed, good food and great service.

Great food and atmosphere. Cheers 😁

Delicious Sunday roasts.one beef,one lamb, one very happy husband!

Excellent meal, very helpful landlady/owner, organised us a taxi back to our boat with dog!

Wonderful! We found ourselves unexpectedly out of supplies on a canal holiday so one crew member walked into Willoughby to do some shopping while the others went on to turn around and come back to pick her up. No shops but the Rose provided delicious takeaway fish & chips, gave our crew member a lift to the canal bridge, then came back to find our boat with the piece of fish they had forgotten to give her! Great food, great value and unparalleled customer service!

We popped in for a spot of lunch. Which was fab, everyone made us feel very welcome. BUT we have booked for our last holiday dinner tonight , so can't wait. Still can't make up my mind what to have. If you don't visit this fine establishment if you are passing you are mad.

Great food, great service, beautiful pub. 4 empty plates and happy folk...

Excellent food ,well cooked,perfect steak ,pleasent staff and great service , no hassle ,would highly reccomend .will come again soon .

Beautiful pub and friendly locals.

Had the pleasure of lunch here today. Our first visit, and now wishing I had visited sooner. Staff and owners are very welcoming, food is delicious. Good selection of drinks, include ones sourced from near by. Even had the opportunity to chat to the chef. If you're passing by or living in the area and never visited, well......you're missing out. Also great for families with energetic kids as the village play park is just the other side of the fence. We'll be back very soon.

I went here today with some family members that aren’t local to celebrate the birth of my 6 day old daughter and Was made to feel like we weren’t wanted there at all. The staff are rude and instead of putting signs up of what they would like to happen in their pub regarding guidelines of Covid, they decided to be rude and out of order to my family causing a scene in front of other customers over the guidelines when they were not visible to customers. I won’t be going here again and am disgusted with how they approached us! No kind greeting, just utter rudeness!

Very awful service rude staff not enough signs about to say the new rules of the pub won't be coming back

Thank you all at the Rose for delivering a take out Sunday lunch for our mum who is self isolating due to her age, which meant we could not visit her on Mothering Sunday. An amazing service and piece of mind for us knowing she had a huge amazing roast and pudding thank you she loved it

Lovely food and atmosphere. Very enjoyable

Cosy, food cooked exceptionally well (but would benefit from having allergens marked up on the menu, or a separate menu)

Delicious food, staff are extremely helpful and friendly, excellent service

Awful. Won't go back there in a hurry

Food was great tasting, we had 3 meat Sunday roast. Only issue for us was that menu stated that the pork came with sausage and stuffing as well as crackling. All our meals did not have these present. Shame for this reason we possibly would not visit again due to the lack of attention to detail.

Lovely village pub with a beer garden and with the park next door it is an excellent place to go with the family.

Great considering not a great range of special menu offer, offered alternatives great customer service we will be back in a few weeks

Been here before. Food good. Pity they cannot cook beef properly. Beer good.

Very nice food in a village pub - off the beaten track and peaceful as a result...lovely Sunday roast.

I recommend try the pie really good

Great food, lovely service, very accommodating in every way

We didn't eat today. But intend to go back with family and friends. Lovely place. Lovely people.

Great food and beer in an atmospheric pub

Lovely pub, real fire, real food, and friendly....thank you.

Good meal, beautiful place sensitively restored, lovely staff. An enviable traditional country pub with home cooked food.

Good food, slightly ruined by the unfriendly waitress

An English pub in an English village Good food, good service and you pay for it because its not the cheapest but worth a visit if your in the area. Visited in 2016

Lovely pub excellent service very pleasant staff. No problems or complaints, we will be visiting again soon.

Lovely food and atmosphere and dog friendly

Very good beer good cleentell very good bar staff

Lovely food, friendly and welcoming.

Sunday lunch fantastic as usual. Great surroundings and service

Nice place to eat and good atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere, a bit off the beaten track. We only had starters, as it was Sunday, so no bar menu, but they were very good. Service good, overall a very relaxed experience. Will go again.

Excellent lunchtime meal menu small but great choices.

Great pub with lovely food. VERY dog friendly, almost as many dogs as humans! Lots of local walks round and about to work up a thirst and an appetite!

Lovely village pub with good grub

Must try the pie, beautiful. Lovely pub and very friendly staff.

Lovely meal with parents and in laws food superb, roaring 🔥.. Attentive staff.. Will be returning.

We came here after a recommendation from a colleague. Could not fault the food in terms of flavours. True home cooked food, top drawer. The only reason we give 4 stars is that the guys was not served hot...it wasn't cold but I it wasn't like you'd want it. The young staff were very polite and when I gave our feedback to the landlady, it was received in the gracious manner you'd expect. We are happy to recommend the Rose Inn and will be back!

Great food, traditional old English pub, how they should be. Helpful friendly staff.

Quality pub and service here. Good real ales and food well worth the trip out

Loverly friendly country pub great food and beers, nice helpful staff too and dog friendly

Good food, good service. Very pleasant until I informed them we HAD NOT been charged for our main meals so our bill increased from £58 to £112. Thought I'd see if we could get a free coffee for my honesty. Reaction of manager spoilt evening. Man is a ####

Such friendly and very helpful staff and amazing atmosphere. We were stranded and needed a room and the staff helped out a lot. They could have just said we don't know but they made a huge effort to help us and even managed to get us a place to stay with one of the locals. One in a million. Will definitely be coming back soon. x

First time with my family at The Rose Inn and we will soon return again. Fab food, fab service, lovely people and location! Our dog had a lovely afternoon too, see you again

Just had a drink but will definitely be back - food looked amazing - friendly staff and regulars! Thank you for making us feel so welcome - we even managed to find the scenic route back to the canal!!

Well cooked and tasty food and the fixed price "early bird" menu is excellent value.

Fantastic steak, friendly staff, good service.

Very warm atmosphere and excellent food, all freshly made with locally sourced products. Highly recommended.

Food is very nice, service is friendly and they have beautiful grounds

We love the Italian influence, especially the fresh fish dishes. Gillian's Tiramisu is to die for...

You have to try the sweet potato fries and the creme brulee.Truly scrumptious! Beautifully presented food which tasted as good as it looked. Friendly & welcoming atmosphere. Excellent service. I will be back!

I love this pub/restaurant! Every time I visit here the food is amazing and the staff are delightful! I always bring visitors here and often go for a romantic dinner!

The food is delicious, and they have a Spanish tapas night the last Thursday of the month which is always amazing! Lovely, cosy country pub!! Love it!
