The Fat Pug

It was a locals pub, but we were made welcome We ate as we'd come early the morning from Blackpool The fish a chips was great Beer was good too

Very cosy

Very noisy

My wife and I have been looking forward to coming down to Warwickshire to do the pug pub experience. We decided to start in the Fat Pug for some dinner before setting off to visit the other pug pubs in the area. Unfortunately, the food quality serviced to us was below our expectations. We had high hopes of some good pub grub here after reading reviews and scanning their menu, but we were let down by ridiculously bland, greasy food. For instance, you could literally pour 2 shot glasses of grease from a dish I ordered. The gravy tasted burnt (who burns gravy), and everything seemed overcooked. Overall, we were very disappointed. Staff were very friendly and the pub itself was nice. ** Just be mindful of their hidden 10% service charge (aka tip) written in the very small print of their menus. ** they take payment first and don't give you a receipt, nor do they tell you verbally either.. on top of there included 20% VAT.. Very naughty!

Maybe I should have had the roast but I chose the fish & chips. The fish wasn't very fresh and the batter was stodgy and not cooked well. Similarly the chips were rather oily and disappointing.

Very disappointed to be hit with a 10% surcharge. And not informed before we ordered our food. My fish and chips was very small fish
