Excellent meal. Great service. Could have been a bit cleaner. Looked a little tired considering it's only recently opened I was told.

We stumbled across this gem on the way back from a random day out in Stratford Upon Avon and a stay at Warwick. We was trying to find somewhere that could fit us in at 3pm for Sunday roast. They managed to get us a table, so we headed over. They seated us fairly quickly and brought us the menus, then took around 20-25 minutes to come and take our drinks order but we were ready to order our mains by then. Our fault really, cause we was already hungry and we know we was after a roast, so could have ordered straight away, when being seated. They had a large group in (a table of approx 12), plus a table of 6, so could have been some of the delay, loads of people outside, as an unusually warm day for October and sport was on. The waitresses were all lovely and very caring, only scored down, cause I had to chase my olives and the wait of the food order. The size of my olive portion was extremely small, they came out in the little white sauce pot container, there was 2 garlic cloves, a piece of dried tomato and approx 8 olives, I was expecting something the size a ramekin dish and approx double that for nearly £3, however, they were very tasty. Omg the food was AMAZING!!! Best roast I've had in ages! We both had the beef and wasn't disappointed, we ordered a side of cauliflower cheese, which was also cooked perfectly! Everything was delicious, my 1 criticism is the long steam broccoli, should have been cut a little smaller, as a little tough towards the ends but I wouldn't eat that anyway, i just accidentally ate too far down, as was enjoying my food so much lol and maybe a pot of Gravy for the table, as I like a bit for my Yorkshire but I don't want it to be soggy, so needs to be poured on and eaten lol. That's a personal preference of course. Also the roast is so reasonably priced and a lot for your money! A wonderful meal and a place I would 100% recommend, I would definitely visit again, if I was in the area.

I went into the nightingale to wind down after a long day at work and was welcomed by by the very polite bar manager. I had a great conversation with him about how the day was going and enjoyed a pint. Would highly recommend getting yourself down to this joint! 😃

We were looking for a venue that would welcome & cater for children and of course adults.. definitely recommended The Nightingale our server was a lovely American lady who checked & double checked to make sure everyone’s order was correct. The Sunday roasts are delicious especially the red cabbage and they also cater for GF & a good variety of deserts. Friendly welcoming staff & Landlord very clean inside & plenty of seating outside.. 10/10 nightingale team. Jo

Thank you to all of the staff at The Nightingale, you were extremely accommodating, helpful and friendly in helping us organise our son's 18th Birthday party, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, excellent service and a really great atmosphere with lovely indoor and outdoor space. Would definitely recommend and use again - thank you everyone for such a wonderful evening.

This place is fantastic and still keeps getting better. We always leave the nightingale happy, it’s so easy to book a table and very friendly for family’s. We have gone many times but just wanted to make a point that we went there to see the England women’s World Cup finals and there was such a great atmosphere the table we booked were labled to make it easy for us to find, we were escorted by such an amazing lady, Alison I swear is always working when we go and she makes our experience fantastic every time, what a wonderful lady ❤️ she really takes her time to make everything perfect for you with a smile on her face, another person to mention would be Marie she was rushed off her feet behind the bar but still had a smile on her face and an amazing attitude towards everyone. All the staff are great just wanted to toot some horns 😊❤️ thank you xx
