About This Pub

You know, I've got to say, chatting about The Courthouse feels like recommending a mate's favourite spot – it's got that warm, inviting vibe in the heart of Rugby that's hard to beat. From what I've gathered from the reviews and their website, the food really steals the show; it's all about those global twists led by Chef Saji Alex, with dishes that mix things up from British pub grub to Asian-inspired treats, and everything's made fresh, which makes for a proper treat. The staff sound like absolute stars, always on hand with a smile and top service, whether you're there for a meal or just a drink. And speaking of drinks, they've nailed the selection with cocktails that are more like experiences, a great wine list, and beers that go down a treat. It's also a bonus that they're dog-friendly and offer table service, making it ideal for a relaxed catch-up. On the flip side, though, a couple of folks mentioned the cask ales being on the expensive side, and the music can sometimes drown out conversation, especially if it's set for dining rather than a quiet pint. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting a bit of everything – good food, drinks, and company – but if you're after a no-fuss pub crawl, it might not be the perfect fit. I'd pop in myself for the grub and the welcoming feel; it's got that balance of fun and quality that makes for a memorable night out.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely brilliant, with a global twist that makes every meal an adventure – think British classics mixed with Asian and Mediterranean delights, all prepared fresh in-house.
  • The staff are top-notch; they're incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from expertly crafted cocktails and a diverse wine list to quality beers and ales that pair perfectly with the menu.
  • It's dog-friendly and offers table service, which is a lovely touch for a relaxed visit, especially if you're popping in with the family or your furry friend.
  • The atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant, perfect for enjoying good times in the heart of Rugby, and they've got events that add to the fun.
Cons
  • Some drinks, like the cask ales, can feel a bit pricey, which might not suit everyone looking for a budget-friendly pint.
  • On busier days, the music can be turned up a tad too loud, making it harder to have a proper chat rather than just soaking in the vibe.
  • The pub's layout seems more geared towards dining than a traditional pub feel, so if you're after a quiet spot for just a drink, it might not hit the mark.

Great to finally see this pub back to winning ways, Abey, I'm and Zak were fantastic hosts. Very attentive, professional and polite and the food was out of this world. Definitely recommend this wonderful pub.

Very poor, other reviews mentioned value for money, cask ales are expensive, and on Sunday at least, virtually the whole pub is set out for dining. The young bar staff, had the the music on far too loud, music in pubs should always be to enhance the ambience, not to stave off boredom of the bar staff. In the half hour I was there I was the only customer.

It was nice and quiet experience with my family. Staff was very kind and helpful. Since owners changed seems standard of food and quality got even better. Food was tasty more than i expected. And portions was generous especially kids one. I would highly recommend this place. Especially when they have special price offers. As you can see we had roast dinner and it was wonderful.

After noticing it has recently reopened, I popped in with the dog to check it out, and I'm glad I did. They have absolutely landed on their feet with all the super friendly and professional staff. They're dog friendly at the front and outside, so huge bonus. Table service, which is hard to come by in rugby, and The food was made in-house with extremely good presentation, quality, and taste. With a varied menu. Pork loin, veg and mash - excellent throughout Butter chicken and garlic naan - best naan I've had for a very long time, butter chicken fresh and very tasty Will definitely be a regular here!

Thought we’d try The Courthouse as it had recently re-opened. Didn’t know anything about the new managers or the menu. Wow, I have found my new favourite restaurant. The food is amazing; the combinations, the flavours and the presentation were superb. We learnt they prepare everything in house. The set menu was fantastic value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful, amazing food and a great atmosphere I would definitely recommend. Best dessert ever!!!
