The Victoria Inn, Rugby

Old fashioned pub with traditional interior. Fantastic choice of real ales on offer. There was also a beer festival under canvas in the garden. All ales sampled were top quality.

The Squirrel Inn, Rugby

Very small town pub with a nice atmosphere. Good selection of real ales. Beer seems to be well kept but only tried one, Elderwytch, which was very nice. There was also a jazz band playing when I visited. Live music regularly on Sat night.

The Old White Hart, Lyddington

Went for a meal with my wife recently. I have to say, WOW, what a great place this is! The Old White Hart is largely set up for food but does have a traditional bar area as well as a very pleasant garden. Old fashioned and full of genuine charm, has separate restaurant areas upstairs and other rooms away from the bar. The food is of outstanding quality and all freshly cooked, it is not cheap but not ridiculously expensive either. Seems to get quite busy at the weekend especially Sat night but has a great asmosphere. The only downside is that the beer could have been better kept. I had Grainstore Triple B and Kelham Island Pale Rider, both of which were cloudy. However this didn't affect the taste at all and certainly didn't stop me from drinking plenty of it! (on another day the beer might be better). A good time was enjoyed and I would certainly recommend The Old White Hart.
