The Virgins & Castle, Kenilworth

This is a massive pub, and very busy. But it's divided in to lots of smaller areas, so it actually feels quite cosy. There's a smallish dinig area out the back, so if you're thinking of eating you're better off booking. The menu is predominantly filipino, with all staters and about two thirds of the mains being this genre. If you don't fancy that there's also a few more traditional pub meals such as lasagne, sausage & mash, fish & chips, etc. We had the filipino options though, and enjoyed it. We were both really pleased with all three of our courses which is unusual, and it was quite reasonably priced. We found the service to be quick, friendly and efficient in spite of all the tables being full including a couple of very big parties. They were three real ales on tap, including Sly Fox "with a cunning hint of ginger" which was unusual but not unpleasant! They also had Strongbow and Bulmers cider.

A rambling old pub with many rooms and stairs giving the place plenty of character. An Everards pub. I sampled a very tasty pint of Sunchaser on my visit
