Places to Eat in Warwickshire

Warwickshire's dining scene ranges from Stratford-upon-Avon's theatre-going crowd, well used to a decent meal before curtain-up, to the market town pace of Southam and Alcester, where cafes and pubs still anchor the high street. Leamington Spa carries the county's biggest concentration of independent places, from coffee houses like Square Coffee and Forrest Coffee House to more distinctive kitchens such as Crossed Khukris Gurkha Restaurant.

Rugby and Nuneaton lean towards solid pub fare and family-friendly spots, useful after a day out rather than destinations in themselves, while Kenilworth mixes the two with quieter, more considered options. Across the county you'll find everything from a quick Karak Chaii stop to a proper sit-down at somewhere like Bensons, so it's worth deciding whether you want a coffee break, a pub lunch, or a full evening out before picking a town.
