The Drawing Board in Royal Leamington Spa

Ah, The Drawing Board – what a delightful find in Leamington Spa! From the moment you step in, you're greeted by this wonderfully eclectic setup with mismatched furniture, squishy sofas, and walls full of nostalgic comics and games that just make you feel right at home. It's got that perfect pub charm, ideal for catching up with friends over a drink or a bite. The drinks selection is something else entirely; as a freehouse, they've got an amazing array of craft beers and more, and it's clear why they scooped up that 'Best For Beer' award – it's like they've thought of every beer lover's dream. The food doesn't disappoint either, with a cracking menu of tapas and gourmet options that's super inclusive, offering vegan and gluten-free choices that are genuinely delicious and well-presented. The service is another winner, with friendly faces who make you feel welcome and looked after. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – the prices do lean towards the higher end, especially for drinks, so if you're after something more affordable, you might want to keep that in mind. Still, for a special night out or when you fancy treating yourself, it's well worth it, and that outdoor garden is a lovely bonus on a nice day. Overall, it's a solid spot that strikes a great balance between fun and quality, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're in the area.
