About This Pub
Ah, The Star & Garter – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper gem in Leamington Spa, tucked away near the shops and not far from Warwick. I've got to say, what really stands out is how welcoming the place is; the team there are always cheerful and on point, making sure everything runs smoothly, whether you're in for a quick drink or a full meal. The food's a winner too – think fresh, locally sourced options that cover everything from hearty Sunday roasts to new seasonal treats you can enjoy outside on a sunny day. It's brilliant for groups, with that private dining room and terrace adding a nice touch for special occasions. On the flip side, though, it's not perfect; I've heard a few tales of the food not quite hitting the mark every time, and it can get a bit packed, which might spoil the cosy feel if you're after some peace and quiet. Overall, it's a solid choice for a good night out – worth a visit if you're in the area, as long as you go in with realistic expectations and maybe book ahead to avoid the rush.

We booked rather late for a family gathering of 10 on Father's Day (though no actual Father and child pair was there!), although only 9 turned up. The staff were brilliant, very pleasant and helpful. Food was very good (we had the vegetarian wellington roast dinner, my brother-in-law said his sea bass was excellent, and a good sized portion!)
All round highly recommended!
Cosy, home-like pub with great food, staff and drinks. Always a guaranteed friendly atmosphere. Their new breakfast menu is top tier!
A great spot for a Sunday roast, the beef was Delishious. If you can secure a spot on the balcony in the late afternoon sun it’s lovely.
Lovely and welcoming staff.
Good choice of foods including vegetarian. Food wasn’t so great but customer service was excellent.
Atmosphere was good but bit crowded.
Family enjoyed the Sunday dinner but not so great.
Lovely interior and there was some discounts for some.

I NEVER go out to eat Sunday because I’m good at making my own thank you and no pub can match a home cooked roast and all the trimmings!
Well. I’m here to report that the amazing Star and Garter has proved me wrong. Service was excellent, the floor staff happy and laughing, clearly great team dynamics fostered my a good manager.
Service was prompt, the specials advised and orders placed.
Food arrived promptly. Duck starter was excellent.
But it’s the roast dinners that take centre stage.
A very generous portion size of the meat of your choice. The roasties were perfect. I’d like to mention is dispatches the vegetables though Lovely buttered cabbage and leeks perfectly cooked with just the right amount of bite, roasted root vegetables and the cauliflower cheese was to die for.
The icing on the cake was that exactly at the point I’d popped the last piece of potato and Yorkshire pudding into my mouth, slightly disappointed that I still had plenty of meat in my plate, that a waitress appeared at my side asking if I’d like more potatoes and another Yorkshire pud, the size and lightness I’ve not seen before.
I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.
A truly wonderful experience so thank you to all the team at the Star and Garter in Leamington
👏👏👏👏
I’ve never been so happy to be proved wrong.
