Zetland Arms Hotel, Warwick

Strangely shaped pub well described below. It was fairly quiet on our lunchtime visit with only a couple of people eating, but the front snug had a few people in it, so we joined them. Same beers on the bar as when RAR called and again the Hooky was in good shape. It was raining, so the beer garden was empty, it looked like a nice place to sit on a sunny day. It's a decent enough pub without really excelling in either decor or beer.

A traditional pub that is well supported from the locals. The pub had a good jolly atmosphere on our visit and the bar hosted four ales on handpump. Which consisted of Sharps Doombar, Hobgoblin, Pedigree and Old Hooky. The Old Hooky was in good condition and reasonably priced.

I visited the Zetland Arms on Monday last week for a spot of lunch with the family. The menu consisted of standard pub food and we went for burger and chips and a jacket potato with tuna and cheese. The latter had no cheese and the burgers were slightly burnt and came with crisps. A bit misleading if you ask me, but as we only had an hours parking on the motor we made do as we fought off the wasps and the begging pub cat in the large beer garden at the rear. The pub’s interior consists of a small bar area to the left of the entrance with seating and a plasma screen that was switched off. There was one gentleman in here reading a newspaper at the bar and I must admit to feeling a little jealous. The main bar is located on the left hand wall beyond where there is seating opposite. There is another plasma screen on the wall in this area that was also switched off, but I did note that Sky Sports is advertised. There was some background music playing off the jukebox, but it was at an unobtrusive volume. At the rear before some steps that ascend to the aforementioned beer garden is a lean-to conservatory. The bar is stocked with standard draught alongside San Miguel and I counted four hand pumps. These were drawing Adnams Broadside, Hook Norton’s Hooky, Marston’s Pedigree and Sharp’s Doom Bar. Dogs are permitted in the garden and the small front bar area. I’m not sure that I would go here to eat again, but I would certainly pop in for another pint if passing.
