Oak and Black Dog in Rugby

Took ages to get the food despite the fact their was no one else in here. THE food was awful ir said fries on the menu and have the fattest chips ever. THE cheese made me feel sick the chicken was awful. THE waitor forgot to write down half the stuff we asked for. THE atmosphere was awful with music being blasted at full volume despite asking them to turn it down. do not recommend probably the worst pub I have ever been to

Booked the Tina turner night and the performance was amazing. And the food was up to my expectations of a local pub and if the other issues hadn’t arisen I would have returned again. However there were some issues. Involving the owners, specifically the male owner. I’ve come home multiple nights and seen people screaming in to streets threatening the male owner. And I always assumed it’s just a case of the classic bad/sloppy drunk. However it seems that position is reserved for the male owner himself. During the Tina turner night he got exceeding drunk started smacking the roof and even stood on the bar while his also drunk wife tried to get him to get down. It’s honestly sad to see a family so used to that disgusting behaviour. The adult children of the owners were offering him more shots and enabled the issue. This just shows they have grown up to this behaviour and think it’s normal. They all treated it like their own personal night club. Other guests were getting disturbed and annoyed with his actions and comments. It was highly inappropriate and definitely not how you should run a business. If a customer was acting in the same way. They would have been kicked out. They not only ruined the night for many many people. They also have given me an insight into how this once peaceful village is going downhill. But from my experience they won’t be the owners for long. The whole family seemed to drink all the profits within the first two hours.

Had a lovely lunch today, reasonably priced and freshly made. No one else eating on a Saturday lunch which is a shame for them as they should be busy with what they are offering. Cosy log fire in the bar. Credit where it’s due, the staff (not sure if the owners) were really welcoming and lovely to the children & puppy. We will be back when in the area. A lovely village pub with lots of potential

Didn't eat, so this is based on a drink. Sorry, but the interior didn't live up to the "old" feel that the pub has on the outside. It's a beautiful building. On entering, despite the staff being very hospitable, the bar had no character. The bar tables were all too uniform and felt like a cafe layout. We were expecting an old floor, maybe big beams and a fireplace? I feel bad leaving this review but the atmosphere needs warming up. Too modern... My husband had wanted to pop in for ages and we were passing, so took an impromptu look. Wouldn't return, sorry :(

Dog friendly. Great place for a pint and a proper pub meal. Huge menu catering for every taste, basket meals for the less hungry. Food is brilliant and served with a smile. Fabby pub 👍🏼
