My brother and I have friends who live in Leamington Spa, and so they picked this place for our…read moremeet-up on a Saturday afternoon. The location is fantastic, as there was a local market going on just a few steps away from the entrance to this Pub, and while my brother and I had arrived as the stalls were packing up, our friends said this market is where they do their weekly shopping and pick up local gee-gaws. The interior of the Pub/ Restaurant is very bright and spacious and loved the indoor garden. The decor references the name, as there are tons of styles as coffee pots displayed on the shelves scattered around on the walls. The seating is comfy and there are a variety of table options available, but we decided to go for the bench seating. The architecture features are beautifully Victorian, and I also found out this tavern was originally established as a teetotal alternative to Warwick's pubs! That ban is no longer in effect and now they have a great menu selection available of ales, craft ciders, cocktails and wines. From looking at the menu, it was very classic British dishes like toad-in-the-hole and chicken-and-ham-hock pie. However I wasn't hungry, so didn't order anything, but my brother decided to get their Sticky Toffee Pudding. You have to go place your order & pay at the Bar, there is no table service and this place was hopping so it took a good 10 mins for my brother's dessert to arrive at the table. I thought the Sticky Toffee was okay - not the best I've ever heard, but it certainly won't go on my list of worst ever eaten! I did think the cake was a bit too dense - didn't have that true light and airy feel normally get with a perfect baked pudding cake, however I will give props cause their Toffee sauce didn't taste sickly-sweet. So while I would give then a 3-star rating based on this menu item, have bumped it up as overall atmosphere as so great. I might return and try some of the other menu choices, but perhaps not the Sticky Toffee Pudding! Yelp 178/ 2019

The food and cocktails were delicious and portions generous. Will definitely be returning to this fab little find! :)

My wife was taking me out for my birthday and since my favourite food is Mexican we searched for a…read moreplace where we'd both feel comfortable. We almost didn't find Las Iguanas but I'm glad we did because it was perfect. It's a good idea to get there before 7.30 as that is when their Happy Hour 2-for-1 cocktails offer ends. We both enjoyed a Bellini which the barman kindly lit up with candles (it was my birthday after all). My wife liked the idea of some guacamole so we shared that for starters. The waitress, Sophie, was very attentive, so when we moved onto the main course and my wife realised she didn't like burritos, Sophie didn't hesitate to change it for something else. In the end we both enjoyed the Bahia Moqueca, a light tasting Brazilian curry. The real treat that made me a fan however, wasn't the Latin music, fabulous decor or friendly staff but the Churros we had for dessert. I would return again for these alone. These doughnut like fingers taste amazing with the creamy De Leche dip or the dark chocolate. A dream come true. A Latin restaurant nearby that we'll both return to.

The ingredients were fresh and the cocktails tasted great. My colleague tried both the blueberry and passion fruit mojito. They were very colorful and she said they were tasty. I had a classic and a cherry mojito. Both were worth returning for! After a jovial time in the bar, we were taken to the seated area for our meal. The service, attention to detail, politeness and respect of the team were first class ! They really went above and beyond to ensure everyone received excellent service and that our meals were perfect. We ordered dishes to share and they were outstanding. Excellence didn't end there. I always try to get fish and chips at least once during my week trips and where better than a seafood place. It was probably the best fish and chips I've had in the UK. The fish was perfectly battered and fried. Not greasy at all! The peas were perfectly cooked and the fries were not soggy ! Looking forward to returning to barnacles ! PS. Also loved the decor.

Overall this was probably the best food I've had in Warwick sense I've been here all week. The only reason it's not a higher rating is I didn't feel like I was welcomed to eat there in the beginning. The manager told me "you know this is Thai food." Wasn't sure what he really meant but that wasn't needed.

We arrived in time for an early lunch and were seated at the front of the restaurant which was…read morecompletely open - this means fresh air, sunshine and the hustle and bustle of Swan Street (screaming children). As the tables around us filled up, we noticed the clientele was mainly businessmen having meetings. I guess if you want to impress a client with your sophistication, you could do worse that take them to The Art Kitchen. The service was efficient though almost comically abrupt. Soft shell crab: Even though it's a starter, it's a £12 starter, so I was pleased to see plenty of crab on the plate. I did not expect deep-fried crab to be so juicy and flavourful. The batter's delicate crunchiness complemented the crab instead of just encasing it. The salad was crisp and fresh with a tasty dressing. The Pad Thai looked amazing sitting on a square of banana leaf. The crushed peanuts were mysteriously secreted under a corner of the banana leaf - good to have the option, I merrily mixed them in. This enhanced the perfect sweet and sour flavour of the dish which was expertly calibrated to satisfy and not overwhelm. The noodles were just right although the sauce was on the oily side. The prawns were a let down compared to the juicy crab starter - rubbery and not much flavour. Next time I will make use of the lime, which I neglected even though it was skewered into the middle of the dish. I ordered the deep fried ice cream out of skepticism. Five minutes later this miracle of science appeared before me in the form of a scotch egg. A scotch egg where the egg is ice cream and the meat is dough. Visually, it's very satisfying to cut into the "egg" and have ice cream ooze out. The outside is perfectly crispy, the inside of the dough is on the bready side which is ok as it's soaked in ice cream. The ice cream wasn't your average vanilla - very rich and intense flavour. I was not a fan of the cooked banana slices - there's just something slimily sinister about warm banana. Warm like it had been in someone's pocket all morning. Thankfully there is more to The Art Kitchen than banana (nice leaves though) and I look forward to returning!

Yes it's expensive, but that's the market they are aiming for, this isn't aimed at the person that earns minimum wage... It's aimed at professionals with plenty of disposable income. The bar is very nice, a good selection of drinks and the decor is good too. The food is high end, definitely not your Weatherspoons cheap burger and fries... They have proper chefs that use top quality ingredients. The management have done a good job at keeping this place going over the years, I think that keeping young attractive girls on staff all the time definitely helps! As I know most guys go purely for the eye candy... (Not me of course!) but most men are always saying how you never see an unattractive girl on staff... Not sure how legal that is to only hire attractive people, but they seem to have gotten away with it for the past decade so there we go... I guess it's all part of the brand...

Having never tried Vietnamese food before, but having heard many good things about it, I gave it a go. Delicious! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, service was fast and the food was lovely. Unable to decide what I wanted, I had "Pho Dac Biet - Tiger prawns, chicken & flash fried steak with garlic in beef stock" so I got a bit of everything, the flavours were well balanced and there were sauces an oils available to personalise my food to my personal taste. My only criticism of Pho is that the as the restaurant is small, the tables are all very pushed in together, so I was very close to those around me. It's understandable that it will be a noisy environment being in the middle of New Street, but perhaps a slightly larger gap between each table will allow guests not to feel so enclosed in such a busy environment. Overall, very happy and will definitely eat Pho again!
