The Punchbowl - Warwick

A return to New Year’s Eve after a break following Covid! The food was its very usual high standard. The staff were so so super friendly and the atmosphere was fabulous. The bar staff were helpful and chatty. The firework display was so good. Challenged by the weather but the sentiment was there… great fun and bravo for attempting the display from the field in inclement weather! We stayed over and the room was a spacious suite. Totally comfortable and stylish. It’s totally what I expect whenever I visit. Thank you all for making it such a lovely evening xx

Excellent Christmas dinner and dancing. Being a vegan I often get the raw end (see what I did there! of the deal when it comes to set menus, but the vegan food here was second to none. So delicious and so were all of the non vegan meals that the others had. Wonderful service, atmosphere and dancing afterwards. Cannot fault this place and will be back as soon as budgets allow. Thank you for a lovely evening.

The restaurant lacked atmosphere and was drafty. The staff appeared tired and rushed as they prepared for the next day's service. My reservation time was changed from 6:15 to 7:15 without explanation. The pumpkin ravioli starters were disappointing, with bland filling and overcooked pasta. The saving grace was the fried seaweed/cabbage and pancetta. The pate was enjoyed by others at the table. The main course of beef was served swimming in gravy, which seemed to be covering up the lackluster roast or possibly boiled potatoes. We requested additional roast potatoes for an extra charge, only to find they were identical to the ones already on my plate. My dish was supposed to include roast onions and red cabbage, but I only found a small piece of onion.

My family and I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago and were not impressed. Despite the nice setting, the food was subpar. We decided to give it another try today, but unfortunately, we were once again disappointed. The burgers are served pink inside, which is not ideal for minced meat. We opted for the more expensive sirloin steak instead, which was not terrible, but the accompanying dishes were greasy and unappetizing. The chips tasted frozen, and the blue cheese sauce lacked any blue cheese flavor. The service was lacking as well, as we had to wait for 20 minutes at the bar despite having a reservation. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. On a positive note, the beer was good.

Beautiful village, great location, good menu but it is a shame the bar staff are rude and inexperienced. They have no idea how to serve or speak to a customer!
