"My daughter just had her wedding at the Cradock m. Afternoon meal, reception and evening food. The ceremony was at a church just round the corner and she wanted a pub style venue. As we had eaten there a couple of times, enjoyed the food and knew they catered for private events in the bottom bar we thought we’d ask what they could do. She spoke to Curtis their events manager, by his admission the pub had rarely put on any weddings. She would have been OK just to book the lovely old beamed room with a meal, sort out some music and have a party but Curtis was determined from the off to give her the best wedding experience the pub could. He was great in the build up working with her requests and easing any stresses. And the day could not have gone better. The pub dressed the rooms to her exact specifications, laid out all the decorations and flowers she left them with, set all the tables to her plan and the staff that worked all day could not have been more attentive. Huge thanks to Jay and Patrick and the chefs. Everything went perfectly, the food was great, any minor issues were sorted immediately (a louder speaker for the dance floor appeared within a minute of asking), the drinks flowed and everybody had an amazing time. And value wise it was superb! Thank you Jay, Patrick, Curtis, all absolute diamonds and the Cradock for making my daughter’s special day so brilliant."

"I would give this a miss if you are eating anything other than pizzas and even then there is a better place around the corner (Red Hot Mamma). So great it now has three branches in Warwickshire. We went to try some of their other menu items. My son and I had one of their chicken burgers and my partner tried a waffle. The chicken burgers were lukewarm and frankly did not look anything like the Instagram photos. They didn’t taste too great either. This place really does catfish you when it comes to their food. It all looks good on their social media but the reality is different. We also ordered some dirty fries and they were just cold and quite flavourless and honestly quite disgusting. The execution of this food was just lazy and uncaring. An example of a catering team that are having to do too much so they do none of it well anymore! My partners waffle was rock hard which suggested it had been pre-cooked and warmed up. Not to mention the fact you only get half a waffle! The place seems understaffed and a little grubby with dirty tables the norm. I shall not be returning as it truly is a mediocre eating experience. It did used to sell great albeit overpriced pizza but it truly has declined in quality. I think in expanding it’s menu and space it has lost it’s identity. It wants to be all thIngs to all people, a cafe, a bar, a pizzeria, a burger joint and it does not hit the mark on any of them! Just give it a miss, walk on. There are better places to eat this type of cuisine in Warwick and Warwickshire!"
