A substantantial food orientated pub on the Birmingham Road,there is a rear external terrace which gives magnificent views over Warwick in the distance but also the Hatton 22 Lock flight below the pub garden known as the Stairway to Heaven among the boating folk,and Robert Plant.Having worked up the 22 ,thirsty boaters may well want to slake their thirst in this pub.
There has been a classy refurb but the island bar still retains lots of seating just for drinkers all the way around with a fine high bench and some comfy settles.There are flatscreens for terrestrial sport,with the screens off otherwise,and live music after 9pm on Fridays so some community feel has been retained around the bar.
The rooms to either side are laid for dining service and the exterior terrace can also be booked for meals,but down some steps takes you to the beer garden pic nic benches.
Three handpumps ,two working on my trip offering Hook Norton Hooky and Church Farm Harry's Heifer (decent,NBSS 3.5) but those two lower strengthers wont get anyones pulse racing.More intersting ale could make this more of a destination pub but it's USP will always be the food ,which just isn't my game.

Refurbished again this winter but much the same as when JAQPTIO called. The space for drinkers has increased, sadly by adding posing tables, but there's more normal seating too, perhaps reflecting the downturn in casual dining. The best bit remains the terrace and garden, with commanding views toward Warwick and beyond, and a fine place to while away an hour on a sunny afternoon.
The beer is commendably local, usually Hooky, Mad Goose and something from Church Farm.
We call here often, though it's best avoided on Sundays unless it's nice enough to sit out.

As described below this is a large "food" pub next to Hatton Locks. Well worth the walk up from the canal. 5 ales on when I called including Church Farm Harry's Heifer, Old Hooky, Purity Ubu and Mad Goose. The local Church Farm beer was excellent. I would happily call again.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Hatton Arms
Substantial food-led pub with a impressive lawn stretching down to the imposing flight of 21 locks on the Grand Union Canal. Fully refurbished in an upmarket style with a mixture of comfortable seating, informal dining and restaurant areas. Also has a terrace Garden Bar and beer garden for the better weather. The menu's not cheap, but the place was certainly doing good business on a weekday lunchtime, and the service was attentive without being bothersome. Three real ales on handpump, including Butty Bach, the fine local Church Farm Harry's Heifer (£3.60) and a beer from Purity. Overall, a good place to stop off on a long car journey.

Now called the Hatton Arms after a major refurbishment, due to the new owners who also own Hatton Country World. Very much a Bistro pub but not at the expense of the ales and dare I say it, fine selection of wine.
A mixture of local ales from the Purity house along with various guests and some of the more unusual lagers. It now has a lovely intimate feel to it, which has been achieved by careful interior design in such a large open plan space.
