Virgins And Castle

Brilliant pub in old Kenilworth over 500 years old and an amazing find. Excellent cask beer, lovely Prosecco and great prices and when we arrived we surprised to find a mini beer festival event. All the staff were lovely as were the very friendly locals who welcome both my fiancé and I but also my 5 year old whippet Paulo. Special thanks to Stephen for the cask beer service, his friendliness and absolutely 1st class approach to hospitality. Good luck with the Kitchen Fitting apprenticeship young man you will be a massive success. What a fantastic couple of hours we enjoyed. Cheers

Established in 1563, this was the perfect pub for an inveterate Tudor history buff to investigate. Happily, it did not disappoint. I found it warm and friendly with a wide range of choices for drink and food. I especially enjoyed the “frickles,” which is my new favorite Queen’s English word. (Tudor pub—>Queen Elizabeth I & II reign here). Did you’re visiting Kenilworth Castle, stop here!

Went for Sunday lunch as a small group, we all had the slow roasted pork belly which was absolutely divine! Came with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, carrots and leek & cabbage. We ordered a portion of cauliflower cheese, parsnips, stuffing and pigs in blankets to go alongside the usual trimmings which we shared. We left absolutely stuffed! Despite living in kenilworth for nearly 5 years it was my first time visiting, so looking forward to coming again!

Best place I came to on my trip to Coventry, took a drive down to this very old pub and I was greeted with the most warm welcome ever. We were served by a lovely lady called Gwen, ever so hospitable and warm. The highlight of the day was the absolutely delicious food, we had the rump steak and a seafood platter, everything was delicious! I look forward to coming here again.
