Old Fourpenny Shop Hotel, Warwick

Another favoured haunt for us locals, great beer and a nice open plan feel. Thursday nights appear to have become a social night for a group of friends who play their various stringed instruments. Not exactly like the in pub entertainment you stereotypically see in Irish pubs but if you like good beer and some live and not too intrusive music then give it a go. A great place to visit after a night at the racecourse which is just 2 minutes away, and last but certainly not least it has friendly, well informed staff.

Opposite the market, friendly enough pub, one surprise was London Pride in a wooden barrel behind the bar, so had one of those, nice & nutty flavour, £2.90 a pint Serves food in normal pub grub type, nothing fancy from what i saw on menu but reasonably priced, not tried it

Name dates back +/- 150 years when the canal was being cut. The 'navvies' could get a pot of beer and a pie for 4d (2p) here, which was 2d cheaper than elsewhere! The hotel suffix is of a much later vintage!
