The Seven Stars in Rugby

Oh, let me tell you about The Seven Stars – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Rugby. You'd love the way they've nailed the real ale scene; they've got a cracking selection that's always well-kept, and it's clear the folks behind it are dead chuffed about it. The rugby memorabilia everywhere adds such a fun, nostalgic touch, especially if you're into the sport. Then there are the homemade snacks – those Scotch eggs are legendary, and they pair brilliantly with a pint. Events like quizzes and festivals keep things buzzing, and the courtyard garden is a lovely spot to relax with friends or even your dog. On the flip side, it's pretty traditional, so if you're after a place with TVs for the footie, you might be out of luck in the back bar. Also, with kids only allowed until 7:30pm, it might not be the best for family nights that run late. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed catch-up; I'd say pop in if you're in the area – you won't be disappointed, but it's good to know what you're getting into for a balanced night out.
