Warwick Real Ale in Warwick

I have been coming here for many years and without fail the staff are friendly and welcoming, the menu is exciting and delicious and the atmosphere warm and cosy.

I enjoyed a warm welcome and fabulous food when I met for a business meeting recently. Carmen looked after us. She was friendly and helpful; even provided a plaster for the finger I cut just before I joined a colleague for lunch.

First, the good aspects. My husband had an excellent steak. Said he had not enjoyed a restaurant meal so much for a long time. My fish parmentier was fine.. I was pleased it had a number of prawns in it. The staff were pleasant and we did not have to wait endlessly for our food. Then the bad! When we arrived we were pleased to see the restaurant very quiet, but sadly it soon got busy. Good for trade but spoils the experience to be somewhere busy. The absolutely worst aspect was the really awful loud background music. It wasn’t possible to talk over it, without keeping asking for things to be repeated, which isn’t comfortable. As a result, we wanted to leave as soon as possible so didn’t have a dessert or coffee. Drink prices were very high, and completely put us off ordering any. We returned t our hotel and had coffee! The free offer of children’s meals if parents signed up for Cote emails seemed to be a success, and several families seemed to be enjoying a pleasant outing together. For me, however, it was a disappointing visit.

As a local resident of chase meadow, we are incredibly lucky to have the salt & vinegar chip shop on our doorstep. Lovely perfectly cooked chips, varied menu and amazing family run friendly service. We missed you guys - glad to see you back!

I really love going to these types of coffee shops, where the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff are friendly! Coffee was lovely and European style (with the latte art!) and the lemon/berry slice was delicious, but a bit dry (it was the end of the day). I would definitely recommend taking a stroll in the park too!
