The Fat Pug in Royal Leamington Spa

Ah, The Fat Pug – what a gem of a spot in Leamington Spa, isn't it? From the moment you step in, you're greeted by that cheeky pug theme and a team of staff who's all about making your visit memorable with their quick chats and smiles; it's like popping round to a mate's house for a pint. The food's a real highlight too – think hearty roasts on Sundays or those cracking deals like 2-for-1 pizzas on Mondays, which make it feel like great value when it hits the mark. They've nailed the atmosphere with lively events throughout the week, whether it's testing your trivia on Quiz Tuesday or kicking off the weekend with fizz specials, so there's always something to get excited about. But let's keep it real, it's not flawless; I've heard a few tales of food not quite living up to the hype, like pizzas that were a tad undercooked or portions that didn't quite satisfy, and it can sting the pocket a bit more than you'd expect for a casual night out. Still, if you plan ahead and go in with the right expectations, it's a top choice for a relaxed get-together – I'd say give it a go and see what all the fuss is about!
