We attended the wine and cheese tasting night and it was fantastic. The manager was so knowledgeable about the wine and they had some really unique wines that we had not heard of before. We will definitely be going back to this lovely wine bar.

Kenilworth

About the restaurant

Located in the historic town of Kenilworth in the heart of Warwickshire, The Cross is an award-winning pub that combines Michelin-starred food with a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

Under the guidance of chef-director Adam Bennett, we have held a Michelin star for over nine years and are proud to boast three AA Rosettes. We received a Good Food Award Gold Seal in 2021.

The Cross is housed in a Grade II listed 19th-century inn and has been sympathetically restored to retain its heritage alongside contemporary touches that make it a fabulous place to enjoy great food, a casual atmosphere and informal but attentive service.

Our main dining room is a former school room that leads to a cosy and welcoming bar - previously a butcher's shop.

Another dining room overlooks the pass, where guests can glimpse the team of chefs busily at work.

We have a green and spacious pub garden, perfect for aperitifs, cocktails and post-dinner drinks.

About the restaurant

Our menu is based on the principles of Royal Thai Cuisine but with a simple presentation and a strong emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients that give exceptional taste. We also follow the traditions of the best Thai restaurants of Bangkok, with à la minute preparations that allow our chefs to maximize the aromatic qualities of fresh Thai herbs and spices.

You can find different set menus in our restaurant, including vegetarian & vegan. Please have a look at https://www.theartkitchen.com/art-kitchen-menus/ for all options and prices.

In addition to A La Carte menu, we offer an exceptional good value lunch menu between 12-2:30 pm. This includes different plates of noodles and our famous "lunch box" dishes, which are smaller portions of our favorites, served in a wooden box, to have at the restaurant.

The restaurant is also an Art Gallery setting which is always evolving as the artworks are sold & replaced with new pieces. Our entire art collection is modern, fun and curated.

Gastro Pub

Stratford-Upon-Avon

About the restaurant

Located just a few miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, it offers the perfect country retreat and is an ideal base from which to explore Shakespeare’s haunts as well as the rolling hills and river valleys of the Cotswolds.

Steeped in history, the building once housed the local blacksmith and in the 18th Century became a popular Coaching Inn. It remains Armscote’s only pub and, saved and sensitively refurbished in 2013 by the family behind Baylis & Harding, it retains many distinctive character features. Beautiful exposed beams, flagstone floors and magnificent fireplaces give that rustic feel with clever and contemporary touches, lending this remarkable building a luxurious yet comfortable atmosphere, which can’t fail to charm. We welcome children and four-legged friends and our pub garden is ideal for families to enjoy leisurely lunches, drinks or snacks whilst the beautifully landscaped courtyard garden offers a sophisticated area to drink or dine.

Always a lovely place to eat, the staff, some clearly youngsters taking their first job, were polite and efficient. No cauliflower cheese left, but didn’t detract from a 10/10 roast dinner!!
