William Webb Ellis in Rugby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped back for a pint whilst passing through and the Pedigree was spot on. New menu looks good to so will be back to try this when next in the area.

Really great visit, it's a great pub, lovely breakfast and staff ...big heads up to the lovely guy serving who was ace and incredibly friendly, and a thoroughly good human, despite having to deal with one of the worst humans ever! You are a great polite guy, she'll always be a rude, obnoxious woman who clearly can't see that the menu just says very clearly Tomato, not "Grilled tomato"🤣 Thank you for being so lovely to us, and a good start to our day 👍

Great pub, lovely food and very pleasant staff!!

Delicious fish 🐠 and Chips. Friendly staff

What a lovely pub! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I sincerely hope it can stay open!

We traveled from Norwich last Friday to meet with family for lunch. Good food, well cooked and presented and excellent value. Lovely pub and staff

I went with an individual with special needs, and both the customers and the staff were so helpful and understanding. The food was delicious, too. I hope I am able to return in the future.

Classic pub in Rugby with lots of Rugby Football memorabilia.

Such a special pub under the experienced hands of Karen and Derek who are being forced out by the Brewery. Theses breweries get far too greedy and are destroying pubs. Three local pubs are on the brink of closure due to the owners. We had an amazing lunch and the nicest fish I have had in a long time. The batter was light and delicate. The atmosphere was great and the pub busy. Derek and Karin always have time for everyone and it is always lovely to go there receiving warm welcome each time. I will not be going when they leave, though I have given allot of cutom in the past. I can not cope with nasty, vindictive, greedy brewery chains and dozy area managers who do not know a pint from a schooner.

I got a scam call from this number tonight and I don't even live in the UK.. Had to block this number and report it

Nice pub but it's always empty hardly anybody around. I don't come here often because every time I've set foot in here just no atmosphere. But I've heard it's closing in August ? Most pubs have disappeared over the years in the town. Just not worth going out.

Lovely pub we went there after the bikefest also had marvellous puddings

Great service from everyone, and the steak pies tonight were really, really enjoyed. Highly recommended.

Such a friendly pub. Good food and delicious Guinness! Happy staff make the difference.

Loved my little visit today, will definitely be back. Lovely friendly little pub

Fantastic pub, warm welcome from staff and customers - really felt welcoming. Drinks were great value. Had a lovely time, will be back!

Didn't have time to try the food but I will on next visit but the beer was fantastic even better because they had a beer festival on they are very friendly and helpful in there defo find this pub.

Had a great visit last time so came back with some friends. The ale was some of the best we found in Rugby in several pubs we visited. Will make this a regular stop when next in Rugby

A gem of a pub that has a great selection of ales and beers. Staff were happy and nothing seems too much trouble.

What a beautiful place.id never been before until yesterday. We were there for an after funeral gathering. The staff were amazing, polite and friendly. The food was lovely on the buffet. We even got chips. They also made my mum and I an extra cheese sandwich. The coffee was nice too. I will definitely visit again. Many thanks kara.

Fabulous Sunday roast. We stopped off in Rugby on our way back down South.

Great pub. Friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely visit again

Great local pub with fab atmosphere. Weekends have entertainment on a Saturday and pub quiz on a Sunday!

Update 26/4/23 Went for the mini fish, chips and mushy peas this time. Decent size for a mini and lovely light crunchy batter. Always a pleasant experience at this pub. Update 29/11/22 Lunch again with friends. Tried their chilli and rice this time. Good chilli and I can honestly say accompanied by the best rice I've ever had in a pub - proper fluffy well-cooked long grain rice! Update 31/7/22 - four of us popped in on the off chance of some food after returning from the Commonwealth Games in Coventry. Despite the place being very busy with Sunday lunch trade, they fitted us in with hot chicken and turkey sandwiches, which hit the spot. Update 28/3/22 - lunchtime offer is now 2 mains for £12. Sign of the times! Went for lunch with a couple of friends. Good value at 2 mains for £10: choice of about 10 fairly simple dishes, nicely cooked and presented. A decent range of beers too.

Nice, cosy place. There was a live band playing when we got there. We decided to sit out as but some other customers ( I guess there were drunk) started troubling us, so we decided to come back in. I'm glad we did as it was nice music, and the ambience was quite good. Overall, I ll say it is worth a visit.

Great pub with a good atmosphere, not tried the food yet but will on my next visit.

Very welcoming.Staff are friendly . Has a lovely atmosphere and food is really good.

What a pub! Great food, great interior, and great people. Guinness is one of the finest in Rugby. Thanks to Derek for his hospitality.

Great pub quiz on a Sunday with friendly atmosphere

It was my first visit for Sunday Lunch. The food was excellent, even though it was busy the service was good. Staff excellent. You do need to book! Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal! We plan to go again soon👍

Great pub and fantastic Sunday dinner. Special thanks to the staff member who went out of her way to seat us when they were fully booked! Top marks!

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Great hospitality in a great venue.

Not loacal to Rugby, Only been in a few times as my car gets repaired at the local tyre garage, But I will say the food and beer are good, cosy atmosphere and the landlord is spot on remembering my drink months apart .

Great roast dinner beef was beautifully cooked. Very nice and well worth the money. Chocolate fudge cake and ice cream after stunning.

Went for xmas dinner, really great meal.

Very accommodating owner, food was very good with a party of 6 everyone enjoyed. Good selection of beer and football on TV.

We'd always walked past but never come in. This is a nice pub. Very cosy inside. The food was very good, the steak and ale pie is what I had. And I would give it 10/10. What more could you want from a pub? Definitely recommend! Thank you!

Had Christmas party there last week, food was bad. Pate worse than Aldi, toast for it was thinner than a piece of single ply. Would not recommend

Great local pub, good beer, good food, friendly staff

Excellent Posh Fish Finger Sandwich:) Five of us had lunch here, Lasagna looked delicious:) Brown Bread wasn’t the crap stuff, really enjoyed it. Thank you All our plates where empty, No coffee ( disappointing ) but not the end of the world. Food took a while to arrive, but worth the wait and we where chatting.

Friendly pub. Great atmosphere. Easy access.

Great pub,good selection of cold beers and ciders,great food with friendly staff, fab service worth a visit

Classic old English pub filled with the history of Rugby from the man who started it. Sports and live events are actively happening here!

Sunday lunch absolutely delicious and very friendly helpful staff highly recommend also interesting rugby history on the walls x

A classic easy to go to pub with a mix of friendly people who are happy to socialise and chat. I went on a band night there was a vibrant great crowd.

Been in this establishment a good few times for just a drink, meeting or social gathering and always found it most welcoming but never before for a meal. The meal experience changed last Sunday 18th September 2022 when our family booked a table for eight for my brother in laws 70 birthday. The meal was excellent and the service very friendly. My sister in law paid for it all so I can’t comment on the value but she is no fool so I assume that too was splendid value.

Good meal,good service,what more could you want.

Excellent meal, nice pub, clean and welcoming, fair prices, went with my family. We live locally: it's one of those pubs that we pass by daily, but have not visited. We will visit again.

Excellent Sunday lunch served up by friendly and efficient staff. Also, at very reasonble prices.

Good old fashioned pub with the best food at a price that I like

Had a good night out. The live band was brill. Served real quick. Ages of the clientele was roughly 30+.

Fantastic food and wonderful staff! Also nice locals to chat and have a pint with.

We visited today, unfortunately to late for lunch, but the beer was excellent. The pub was pristine, I can not remember visiting a cleaner, nicer smelling pub.

An iconic pub, great place and wonderful beers

Lovely welcoming place.Sunday roasts was lovely.Sat outside as was allowed to bring the dog.

First visit and had Sunday roast. Lovely food, Very good value for money. We had veggie roast and a mixed meat roast. Could not fault it. Would definitely return.

Great pub with great food. Karen and Derek made me feel very welcome, and the beer was great. Lovely place, would recommend

Excellent food highly recommend going there for Sunday lunch I will definitely go back there again

Decent beer and atmosphere, nice skittles table and team :)

Very good. Great value food. Nice atmosphere.

Fantastic landlord (Derek?), really welcoming. Nice comfortable interior and good range at decent prices. Food was exceptional for the price and the portion sizes are unbelievable! Nothing not to like and will be returning often.

Great food at a fantastic price, drinks menu covers everything you might like to try.

Great pub, choice of beers is excellent

Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch served up in here.Nice atmosphere too.Sevice is excellent.

Beautiful roast dinner and very friendly staff.

Very nice people very clean and tidy

On the Cask Marque Ale Trail, so therefore deserving at least one visit. It's a good pub, unsurprisingly bedecked with rugby memorabilia. Unfortunately on the day of this reviewers visit, there was only one ale available, the place had suffered a power outage and cash only transactions taken. Admittedly not the ideal situation to cast an objective review - perhaps a further visit will improve the rating.

We had Sunday lunch for 3 here today and the food and service was excellent, thank you,

One word sums it up outstanding.

A hospitable atmosphere and the best fish in town. I had a really nice meal here and I will be returning for more.

Brilliant pub, landlord and lady, Derick and Karen, are great. Make you feel like part of the family. Food is amazing, great atmosphere and entertainment. Don't miss it!

Live music, great atmosphere even with Covid restrictions. Friendly staff. We will be back.

Great pub, great atmosphere, well managed. 👍

Lovely time with lovely company. Brilliant staff. Fully compliant. 👍🍺

Delicious Sunday dinner Great atmosphere Very friendly staff

Great Christmas dinner very reasonable thankyou chef

Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon. I booked a table for 6 for a Christmas Sunday lunch with my work colleagues and it was perfect! The food was delicious, not overly priced and it was freshly prepared (not an Aunt Bessie roast potato or Yorkshire to be seen!) The waitress who served us was very friendly and so was the ambience in the pub. Thanks again, we all really enjoyed ourselves, we'll be back!

Very friendly and good service/ spot on 😎👍

Just near Rugby School,and close to Town.Good food,friendly staff,Good Rugby Photos inside.If in Rugby ,give it a visit. Enjoy Roger

Great place in rugby. Good ale and great value pub food. Staff accommodating and friendly. Good bankss bitter from barrel with fish and chips. Great lunchtime fare

Sunday lunch was well priced and well cooked. Friendly staff and if planing lunch, it is advisable to book ahead.

...a screen showing England running the Kiwi's all over the park !!! Many thanks for opening up at 8.30 in the morning, with such cheerful staff. Nice coffee from the machine.

Good friendly atmosphere and good food, friendly staff

Had a lovely Sunday roast , good value for money

Lovely pub with great service. Very accommodating and friendly. Meals are well made, of a good size and are priced perfectly. A thoroughly good place to eat out

Classic pub that serves classic and nice sunday roast. Ideal place to watch a rugby game.

Decent selection of beer, but the barmaid had a face like thunder, she was rude to the lady who got served before me too. Took a mate to several other pubs today and this was the only one to disappoint.
