"Me and a friend called in on Saturday afternoon myself never visiting a dessert shop. Huge menu of waffles, crêpes, pancakes stacks,ice creams and Sundaes. Staff were very polite and attentive and after our treat found out they have only just taken over in the last 3 weeks. Because of my excitement when our order came out the lady asked if she could take a photo for social media, a bit embarrassed we agreed and whilst looking for that photo I’ve came across these poor reviews.The place is very welcoming the staff are very friendly, cleaning was being done the whole time I was there the wiping down of menus and worktops,and the food is gorgeous as for pricing I haven’t been anywhere else so I wouldn’t know if it’s expensive or not but I do know it was very nice.A small business in Kenilworth town with rent and rates I can imagine cost a lot of money if you want cheap get yourself a frozen one from Tesco’s and take it home! I certainly will be visiting again and taking my grandchildren. I did think the desserts would be small hence why we bought one each and one to share, but my goodness as you can see from my photos they were not, however we did manage to finish them mall!!!"

"the square is spacious, many tables for selection as well as a beer garden from the back with a beautiful small view. the service was great, not on my drink I ordered, but that was just on my taste. the prices were extremely competitive, great value for money."

"First time here to meet up with brother and sister in law for lunch 21.12.23 Place was busy, I put this down to festive season. First impressions were favourable. Warm greeting and as much time as we needed to decide on our order. Food arrived. Oh dear frozen oily deep fried calamari, not brilliant but edible, main course arrived , again not brilliant but edible. When the side order of onion rings eventually arrived half way through main course, oily and pretty gross to be honest. I wasn't in the mood to raise any issues because I suspect this is as good as it gets here. Won't be running back anytime soon personally but my brother and sister in law live locally and think it's OK. In summary I would urge you to try this venue for yourself and not make your choice based on my comments. Who knows, maybe we just caught them on an off day!

"I've been here a couple times... Great out-of-the-way pub. Nice place to gather friends and family. Love the location... Right on the canal with anchored canal boats near by. Typical English fare (Fish Chips, Curry, Sausage Rolls)... They are known for their pies (Steak Ale, Chicken Leek Bacon, etc). They have a good brunch menu served daily, also an excellent Sunday Roast. Full bar, great beer selection. This is always a favorite when I visit the area."

"Sunday roast with my sister, great food (roast beef and roast lamb) and lovely evening. The waiter even gave us some extra roast potatoes half way through! Puddings were great too! Looks like it’s just a pub from the outside, the restaurant bit is tucked away and very nice!"

"A few months ago, my family of four visited the PE restaurant in Birmingham where they forgot my wife's pizza, causing her to eat alone after the rest of us. We hoped this wouldn't happen again, but unfortunately it did. Last night, we decided to try our local PE in Warwick. We arrived just before 7.00pm and waited behind another couple to be seated. Despite staff passing by, no one acknowledged us for at least 5 minutes. Just as we were about to leave, the couple in front of us was seated and we were shortly after. We placed a simple order for 1 starter to share, 2 pizzas, and 2 glasses of wine. The wine arrived in dirty glasses, for which we said nothing and cleaned them ourselves. The wine was slightly off and not worth the price. Our starter was fine, but then the waiter brought out a pizza and two small plates, assuming we were sharing. When we told him we weren't, he seemed confused. He went back and forth with another waiter, who also seemed clueless. I eventually had to shout to get their attention and correct the order. However, I realized that by the time they made my pizza, my wife would be done eating, so I cancelled the order. Before leaving, I spoke with the manager about the poor service. He apologized and acknowledged the issue had already been brought to his attention. I asked him how he would feel if his evening with his wife was ruined, to which he agreed he would not pay the bill. We followed suit. Dining out is expensive these days, but we like to support local restaurants after COVID. We do not hesitate to voice our complaints when service or food quality is subpar, although we have empathy for restaurant staff. However, after a second missed order at PE, we were fed up. They used to be good, but not anymore. Proceed with caution and prepare to pay a hefty bill if you choose to dine there."

"We were staying in hotel opposite. Had come up from Brighton to do some sightseeing in Chester wanted to go to Kenilworth castle too. We had a few drinks a meal. Harvey, behind the bar was a great barman very friendly. Remembered what we were drinking, even though pub was busy. We were then seated served by Chris, who after chatting, we found had spent a couple of years in Brighton. He was amazingly friendly efficient. Really enjoyed chatting with him. I had the steak, cooked perfectly my partner had the Gammon, which I tried it was delicious too. We shared a dessert of crumble custard. Good value.. This pub has loads of history, character is very traditional. Very clean. There is a lovely garden out back, which will be ideal for summer months. We wish Chris well in his new career, starting shortly. Thank you for a lovely evening."

"My group of 9 friends met up at the Durham Ox for a reunion and we were all extremely pleased with the food, atmosphere, and service. We felt well taken care of and appreciated how efficient the service was. We were so satisfied that we didn't need to eat much the next day. I highly recommend this restaurant for its lovely setting. Thank you to the staff for a great experience. Price per person: £50-60. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5."

"we arrived 5 minutes before our booked time and were told that our table was not completely finished. that was no problem at all, so we sat at the bar and had a drink. 10 minutes went by and we saw the 2 people on the table we later sat on holiday. 10 minutes left without someone coming to us, so we asked about our table. it was clear that we were forgotten and finally showed on our table. that was not waiting with cleaning the table etc. when others came and went while we were waiting. no good start! We knew what we ordered, so order immediately. 1 bratbeef and a nice wellington. eating came incredibly fast, even before our drinks (within 5 minutes.) the sweet wellington was tasteful, but was drained by the stone kartoffels and soggy yorkshire pudding. the bark was quite fat and with only 2 rather thin slices. we mentioned the bratkartoffeln and yorkshire pudding on the waitress, who then brought a little more. the bratkartoffeln were exactly the same. it was clear they've been standing for a long time, like the Yorkshire puddings. the waitress asked if we like one dessert, we rejected and asked only for the bill that was also given to us in quite abrupt wise. when paying premium prices, they expect a good service and high quality food. this was unfortunately missing from both accounts. I hope it was just one way out, as I know that other people here have made good experiences. I'm afraid we won't hurry to come back."

"Meeting, in Leamington, an old friend for a lunch catch up. Not being familiar with the town centre used google to look at availability. This restaurant promises a different vibe and with an interesting menu we decided to give it a go. First impressions where promising and we were greeted and shown a table. There is a small outside space but we stayed in side. We had jambalaya and quesadillas. Not experts but we all thought they were both excellent. To drink we had a draft lager and coffee. Overall a fairly simple restaurant offering good cheerful service. If you like this style of food then recommend."

"charming place for a pint on the afternoon. Amazingly large exterior sitting area and beautiful balcony on the top floor. However, if they plan a meal, they will be very disappointed. prices for the small portions of food and for the quality of food inappropriately high. we had to start the portobello mushrooms and it came with two small squares of toast. not enough. when we ordered more broth, they simply brought bread with seeds. about the main courses consist of the chargrilled lamb balsamic koftas in only 4 small spits. they must order at least two pages to feel satisfied. the maischekartoffel came too dry and my main the lobster devon crab fishcakes were...read more"

"As a fairly local this has always been a place you know you are going to get great food this visit did not disappoint,the food was beautiful.The risotto I had was excellent BUT the service meant that where we perhaps would have stayed for dessert we did not feel welcome.We had booked a table but when we walked in we weren't asked our name though I said, just told sit anywhere.We found a table got settled then realised it had reserved on it,we were then told you can't sit there,fair enough we moved even though the table remained empty the whole time.We ordered our drinks,my daughter ordered a chocolate milkshake which looked amazing,she asked if she could had a spoon,never arrived or acknowledged.We were never asked if our meal was ok.My daughter's cutlery came unwrapped,a tea light was banged down on our table at one point.I asked for the bill as we felt unwelcome after our meal had finished.To be told I had to push yes or no if I wanted to leave a tip.I was stared at the whole time,very uncomfortable.I could count on one hand the words we were spoken to Food wonderful,service abysmal,we all have bad days where we perhaps don't feel happy chatty but in a service industry there is a bare minimum politeness you need. We unfortunately will not visit again as although the food is outstanding we really don't want to pay to be made to feel an intrustion"

"We visited the bakery and brunch cafe and were extremely impressed with both. From the bakery, we purchased some amazing pastries including an orange and passionfruit Danish and a white chocolate caramel popcorn cruffin. They were baked perfectly and had an incredible taste. At the cafe, we ordered bacon and egg on toast, avocado and eggs, oat milk Chai latte, and Americano, all of which were cooked perfectly and delicious. We enjoyed chatting with Dan about the food options, upcoming menus, and the introduction of IPAs, Lager, and sours he is passionate about. It was a delightful morning treat and we highly recommend it. We can't wait to go back."

"We love this place, it’s been several months since we’ve been in Leamington but found ourselves there on Saturday. Helpful staff were able to accommodate us at short notice and we were given such a friendly welcome back. Lamb chops are still so tasty and the moussaka was delicious. No time for deserts …. This time!!! We will be back soon, won’t be so long hopefully. Thanks for a lovely dinner"

"A friend and I went to try the tasting menu and were pleasantly surprised. We are not big fans of fish, but we enjoyed every course without any trouble. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The waitstaff provided descriptions of each dish and were attentive without being overbearing. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would happily return."

"Went here for lunch yesterday(Wednesday). I had the most gorgeous fishfinger sandwich on toasted ciabatta and my husband and son had burgers. All the food was lovely! The big fat chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Excellent service as always. Highly highly recommend this wonderful place!"

"I had a groupon deal and went with my partner. Two cures with wine. I refused when I was driving and had a limette and limette. my starter was cinnamon, it was a little gum-like. my main thing was good, a bit like a stew and tasty, but a little part. my partners were good. on departure we were charged £2 each supplement (curricular error in the non-check I was also charged £5 for a limette and limette !!! I said I asked for it instead of the wee, I was told I had to pay yet!!! I found this creepy and a bit of a conus. my local pub calculates me £1 for this drink. it is a shame that it could have been a good night and I would have returned! I'll never go back."

"This Asian self-service buffet restaurant offers a great value for money with a wide variety of dishes, including a pudding station and options for children like chips, chicken nuggets, and ice cream. Three of us went for lunch and enjoyed options like chicken, sweetcorn soup, and Asian-inspired dishes. The price was £10 each for lunch, with cheap drink options like coffee and jasmine tea for £2 each. The food was freshly cooked and hot, with attentive staff constantly replenishing the buffet. This restaurant is perfect for families or groups of friends, and they also offer takeaway and evening buffet options at affordable prices. Overall, a great dining experience with good food and service."

"Beautiful meal and great service! This place is under new management and it clearly shows. The tired old atmosphere and lacklustre service has gone and there is a really refreshing feel to the place which is now led by a very charismatic manager and his team who made us feel very welcome from the minute we walked in. Lottie, who served us was lovely, and the new chef Luke is superb. The steak Diane he made was one of the best I have ever tasted and I eat out in restaurants a lot very skilful cooking, full of fresh flavours and he got the temperature and texture of everything just right definitely a young chef to watch a lot of talent there."
"I visited most recently on 11/23, which happened to be pie night. My drink (a decent pint of bitter) was included in the price. The steak and ale pie I ordered was quite good, although it was not specified on the menu that it also contained mushrooms. Luckily, I enjoy mushrooms, but what about those who do not? The service was excellent. I returned on 11/22 and found that the menu still offered a good variety of options, including vegetarian dishes, with generous portions and friendly, helpful staff. It had been many years since my last visit, but I was pleased to find that the food and service were still good. I will definitely be returning."
