Roebuck, Warwick

The Roebuck has seating with high tables to the right of the central entrance and banquettes to the left, all of which are faced by an L-shaped serving counter that supports premium keg alongside Wye Valley’s Butty Bach, Old Peculiar, St Austell’s Proper Job and Tribute as well as Fuller’s London Pride. So exactly the same selection as in December last year… I suppose at least you know what you’re going to get. World Cup rugby was on in the bar area and there was some background music in the rear which is more of a dining area. I thought it was OK on here, maybe a little dry led, but I’d pop back in if passing.

Attractive old pub which seemed popular for food. 5 ales on - Butty Bach, Tribute, Old Peculiar, Proper Job and London Pride. A fairly "safe" selection but still a choice! My Butty was in good nick. Happy to have called in.

Not much has changed in here from the previous reviews with the exception of the prices. Our pint came to £4, which compared to some places in Warwick was cheap. Probably not worth another visit but it was fine on this visit.

Attractive old inn, supposedly dating from 1470, partly opened-out inside to leave an elongated 'L'-shaped layout. The main bar at the front transitions through a semi-traditional alehouse-style zone to a brightly-lit restaurant area at the rear. A covered side alley and courtyard leading to the toilets is enlivened by hand-drawn Belle Epoque artwork on some of the walls. Five real ales on handpump, with Greene King IPA, Deuchars IPA, Bombardier, Old Speckled Hen and the 'house' 4.1% Roebuck Ale (£3.75) on (and schooner-sized measures also noted as being available). Although the refurbishment won't be to everybody's taste, the atmosphere was good and the place is worth a visit if in the area.
