There are plenty of other food and drink establishments and…read moreaccommodation in the area that I would prefer to be than this one and just for one single reason: poor service in the bar. Continuing my trip and visits to pubs in the area, I have been to White Swan thinking it would be a bit more expensive than the other places so I also expected to be well served, if I am spending my money there. Not really. A young, maybe not experienced enough, staff received my husband and I with some indifference. They were a bit more interested in chatting with the masculine clientele that probably were guests or locals. Again, I didn't get it. As a restaurant White Swan has excellent list of wines and it also caters as a gastro pub. The decor is a modern one and all the history behind the building dated from 16 th century would be more appreciated if it was not the poor choice of sticky music playing in this establishment. Not a good combination for the outstanding and sophisticated atmosphere of the place. The bar was empty compared to other pubs visited at the same day in the city. We left the place after the first drink and I don't think they really noticed it.

5 Star Country House Hotel... What more do I need say?…read more But I will say something, no point in doing a review other wise ;o) I stayed at this Country Hotel a number of times quite a few years ago. At the time it was like stepping into another world, a 5 Star world. Set in acres of rural countryside it gives you the feeling of being Lord or Lady of the manor. The rooms are in affect self contained luxury apartments. The AA two rosettes restaurant provides a variety of menu options both at lunch and for dinner. From a two course lunch to a seven course evening meal there will always be something to suit you on offer. The staff are always polite and attentive and the service they deliver is exemplary. I would highly recommend staying here and sampling the high life even if it's just for one night.

Absolutely Superb…read more Spent our wedding night here, and leading up to our marriage, went once per month. It is our all time favourite place to eat. I can't fault the place. Give it a go even if for the one off special event. Sorry, sounds like an advert.... The credit crunch has bitten us a bit, so don't get there that often. "Nuthurst Grange is highly rated in all the hotel and food guides with 3 Rosettes and 3 Red Stars awarded from the AA. It has also added Restaurant of the Year to its many accolades."

The Manor House is the main building and has a oldie worldie feel to it. Infact the whole place does! There are plenty of conference rooms here including bedrooms that are situated close by to the conference building. Very handy! The spa and gym is well facilitated offering plenty of spa packages and treatments. They have a hot tub outside where drinks can be served while you have a soak and there is an outside and indoor swimming pool. A fairly new brassiere and bar area offering a meal or drink in modern surroundings (without making it feel too formal) is a good addition to the place. The staff are professional and knowledgeable. Would love to return here for a spa treatment!

11/3/18 - Booked for 5pm…read more Food Standards' Rating - 5/5. Very busy, but some tables available - 5 of us. Got there a about 25 minutes early, but a place to sit around near the bar area. Moments later shown to our table. I sat at the end and it was close to the entrance to the kitchen. Starters came out quickly. Only 3 people having starters. I had the chicken livers en croute. The sauce was very moreish... Reasonable portion. For main: I had Rare Sirloin of Beef, Yorkshire Pudding, Red Wine Gravy. Really thick slice of beef. Wonderful taste. Came with both roast and new potatoes. The latter were overcooked for me (microwaved?) For sweet: Sticky Toffee Pudding, Caramel Sauce & a scoop of Vanilla Ice-cream. Loved it. The service was OK given how busy they were, but I had to catch the eye of the owner when he passed by to order more drinks. I'll put the following conversation down to being busy: ME: "Please can I order more drinks when you have a moment?" REPLY: "I'm serving that table at the moment." ME: " I did say, when you had a moment." There was confusion at the end of the meal. There was something to the effect that we only had the table for 3 hours. So at nearly 7pm we had only been there two hours. One of waiting staff came me to tell me that I had to move. I said I wanted to order more drinks. Their loss I thought, bring me the bill. Another person brought me the bill, and I said I thought I had another hour before I needed to vacate the table. The owner appeared and I explained to him, and he said that there had been some confusion I didn't need to move. So he screwed up the bill and said what would I like. I ordered a double malt, which it turned out he took off the bill for the confusion. Now my only other niggle... They a grand array of gins, but only one brandy (Martell - yeuk!). Plus only two malt whiskies. No dessert wine. I get the feeling, near the bar area, that the locals look down on the out of village people. That's not the inn's fault. Does give a bit of uneasy feeling. The bill: 4 x Diet Pepsi - £7.00 1 x Peroni - £5.10 3 x Pinot Grigio (250 ml) - 19.50 4 x Dash - £2.60 1 x Bottle Pinot Grigio - 18.95 5 x Meals (3 x 3 courses, 2 x 2 courses) - £129.75 1 x Baby Mixture - £1.75 1 x Malbec (250 ml) - £6.50 1 x Pinot Grigio (175 ml) - £5.30 1 x Stella Shandy - They'd run out of Carling - £4.00 1 x Tea - £1.75 1 x Coffee (Americano) - £2.10 Sub-Total - £204.30 10% Service Charge - £20.43 Total - £224.73 Good place to return to for a meal for Two. Although, wooden flooring, the sound wasn't tool bad for me with hearing aids.

When I first went to The Bell, it was a typical village pub with the rare and rather nice feature…read moreof a bar billiard table. There would usually be a few rural working men in there sitting drinking pints, talking, reading newspapers. Tanworth-In-Arden is the where Nick Drake spent most of his life, and we'd always stop of at The Bell and have a G& T on the green after paying homage to the folk revival singer and songwriter. Over the years Nick Drake's popularity has grown and so have the ambitions of the most recent owners of The Bell. The Bell has now been transformed from a regular, snug country pub into a finely furnished place and is now being sold to the high society of Warwickshire and visitors from beyond as a 'Hotel, Restaurant and B & B accommodation' business that's convenient to Selfridges, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre and The Cotswolds. Even though I like more traditional fixtures and fittings in a country pub, (and I DO miss the bar billiard table), who am I to tell the owner how to run his business? The boy done good. He's used his entrepreneurial mind to turn the pub around and to offer an experience to those visiting Tanworth. And even if I'm unlikely to eat there, the inescapable fact is that him keeping the pub running successfully means that I can enjoy my post-Nick Drake memorial G&Ts on the green in the Saturday sun.
