About This Pub

Ah, The Silk Mill in Nuneaton – it's one of those local pubs that's had a fresh refurb and really tries to bring people together with its laid-back atmosphere and unbeatable drink deals. I love how it's so affordable, making it ideal for popping in after work or catching the big game on those HD screens with mates. There's plenty to keep you entertained, whether it's sinking a few pints by the pool table, enjoying some live music, or even bringing the dog along for the ride. On the flip side, though, I've heard a few tales of staff not quite hitting the mark, like mix-ups with orders or times not matching what's advertised, which can put a damper on things. And if you're after a solid meal, it might fall short since food doesn't seem to be their strong suit. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening if you're in the area, but I'd say go in with realistic expectations and maybe check ahead to make sure it's on form – that way, you can enjoy the good bits without the surprises.

Maybe it was the time and the day but our visit was underwhelming to say the least. I cannot comment on food in fact I don't know if they serve it, it wasn't obvious during our lunchtime visit. Will I go back, only if there isn't another choice available.

No longer do food, I ordered 5 tequila rose they charged me for 4 this cost 14 pound when there was a discount 5 for 10 pound. I argued with the staff and manager it wasn’t about the money but more about the principal, very unhappy staff here are very unprofessional and new hires who have not been trained properly, I asked to speak to the manager who was a short red haired lady and she did not care less almost using the poor bartender as a messenger, there’s a lot of times these days where because pubs become a hub for young people they do not need to keep there professionalism and unfortunately this has now turned into it.

Closed at 12 on tuesday when it said it would open til 1am. currently sat outside silk mill disappointed. Really would appreciate honesty on the opening times. This used to be a hot spot with friends and I and this is extremely disheartening to see how Silk Mill has gone down hill.

This is a fairly cheap but extremely spacious place with a decent amount to do. There is infamously a television (or 5, mostly) everywhere you look; and there are many comfortable booths that you can slip into on a quiet day. Bartenders are generally nice also. Having had grub here a few times before, I can definitively say it's often not of decent quality. We have had to send food back before and you can very easily tell that everything here is using a microwave - often cold on the sides and molten in the middle. However, the variety of drinks is somewhat redeeming. There are 2 pool tables - both of... below average quality (spills on the cloth and lean too) and it's Ben known for there to be not enough cues and there is rarely chalk available. Darts board is of average quality however. [Side note, the pool table photo was from a few months ago when the cloth was recently replaced.) - Edit: Downgraded to 2 stars. The floor was sticky on multiple occasions recently. And tables don't seem to be properly cleaned. Booths are in a dire state also.
