Don’t just take our word for it: check out these award-winning Warwickshire pubs.
The Red Lion, Long Compton
Awarded by: National Pub & Bar Awards 2023
“This Grade II listed historic boozer is a cosy country inn nestled in the heart of the Cotswold village. The Red Lion offers accommodation, which is dog-friendly, and is steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful countryside: the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway, romantic break, or a delicious meal with friends.”
The Cross at Kenilworth
Awarded by: The Good Food Guide
“There’s something reassuring about The Cross. This isn’t a kitchen that anxiously twists and turns classic combinations for the sake of it. Chef-director Adam Bennett – lauded by his peers as ‘a real chef’s chef’ – sets a professional tone at this much-loved pub/restaurant. It filters through the smart front-of-house team, so that eating here feels special. The shaded terrace with abundant flowering pots is a delightful spot for a summer lunch, but you
can keep an eye on the pass in one dining room, or sink into the traditional comfort of dark red button-back leather banquettes in another, if you prefer. With the three-course a la carte menu costing £80 (a six-course tasting menu is £105), unexpected snacks are an appreciated touch. The notable wine list is arranged by grape and shows well-placed love for some favourites, but also encourages exploration.”
The Globe, Warwick
Awarded by: The Hotel Guru
“Welcoming, local, and unpretentious – the best pubs with rooms in Warwickshire also serve up some standout regional cuisine. Our hotel experts have scanned the length and breadth of the county to bring you a collection of the best pubs. The Globe is a stylish hotel/pub in the heart of the town. It makes good on its modus operandi to provide simple excellence across the board. Featuring great rooms, it’s an atmospheric pub with delicious food in the restaurant, and the perfect base for a weekend break.”
