About This Pub

Ah, CJ's Restaurant & Bar – what a gem in the heart of Nuneaton! From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, it's got this real homely feel, being a family-run place that's been around since the late 1800s, and they do a smashing job with their menu. The food stands out as a real highlight; those Sunday roasts are massive and full of flavour, and the Friday steak nights sound like a treat you wouldn't want to miss. Plus, the outdoor garden is just lovely for a summer evening, with cocktails and a relaxed setup that makes it feel like you're miles away from the everyday hustle. The staff are genuinely helpful and make every visit feel personal, which is always a plus when you're out for a bite. On the downside, if you're hoping for a quiet, intimate dinner, the pub side can get a bit boisterous, especially on busier nights, so it might not be ideal for a hushed chat. And being in Nuneaton, it could feel a tad out of the way if you're not nearby, but once you're there, it's worth the effort for that great value and welcoming charm. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good night out – honest, with its ups and downs, but definitely one I'd recommend for a proper pub experience.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – think generous portions and tasty options like those Sunday lunches and Friday steak nights that keep you coming back for more.
  • Service is spot-on, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home, just like chatting with old mates.
  • It's got a lovely family-run vibe, perfect for a relaxed meal, and the outdoor garden with cocktails and a chilled atmosphere feels like a proper escape.
  • Great value for money, especially with the specials and that welcoming, traditional pub charm that's been around since the 1800s.
Cons
  • The pub area downstairs can get a bit lively and noisy at times, which might not suit if you're after a really peaceful evening.
  • It's tucked away in Nuneaton, so it could be a trek if you're not local, making it less convenient for a spontaneous visit.

2022: Superb food. Don't get put off by the pub down stairs. 2023: Went for Sunday dinner 10/9/22, gargantuan proportions, 10.95 for full size, 6.95 for small ; they call it a child's but let adults order it, judge for yourself! Latest photo February 2024 : Still great value and great tasting food.

Fantastic food and great value for money with a great atmosphere. When you sit in the garden you could be anywhere with palm trees, outdoor cocktail Bar and outdoor TVs. The staff are also excellent and very helpful.
