About This Pub
You know, when I think about Central Park Brewers Fayre, it's got that reliable pub charm that's just right for a laid-back afternoon or evening in Rugby. The food stands out as a real winner – their British dishes and Sunday carvery are hearty and satisfying, and those lunch deals at £5 a pop make it easy on the wallet for a quick bite. It's brilliant for families too, with the indoor play area keeping the kids entertained while you enjoy a drink, and the staff often step up with helpful service that adds a nice touch. On the other hand, I've heard a few grumbles about certain menu items being out of stock, which can put a dampener on things if you're craving something in particular. The atmosphere isn't always buzzing, especially if it's a slow day, and service can be hit or miss, with some folks noting it felt a bit off. All in all, it's a decent spot to pop into for good value and a casual vibe, but I'd suggest giving them a ring beforehand to make sure everything's running smoothly – that way, you're set for a proper enjoyable time without any unexpected hitches.

Lovely place for British food and Sunday carvery
We had a lovely meal - the food was really nice and the service was great. Will was a lovely waiter who was very helpful with our little one. And Harmonie at the bar was great too - especially when I absent-mindedly walked off without waiting for my drink! Love that it has soft play too. Lovely family place!
The food, the beer, and the service were excellent. I was really impressed with this venue, especially with the staff running particular, which stood out by the name of Harmony. Who had always made sure that we enjoyed our visits.
Tyler, who served us, was very attentive and understanding of my needs as a wheelchair user.
The disabled facilities are pretty good as most of this venue is on the ground floor .
The food was so good I'd finished the first course before I could take a photo
Pretty much the whole menu is unavailable, I ordered steak and only after I had ordered did they come out and say they have no sauces. Staff look miserable and atmosphere is dead would not reccomend even for a funeral
First experience of a carvery and these guys really did it justice beyond the food. The service was wonderful! It was a last minute decision and they were able to book us in a party of 8 ready in 20mins!! They were busy and I've always wanted to try this place. They have a nice soft play area. The food is pretty standard and I like the variety. It is really good value!
