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.

Service was excellent, great attitude from all staff - friendly & welcoming. Food was amazing - we had the roast and the only thing we’d mention is the gravy could be thicker but that’s personal preference! Even so, everything was so tasty it didn’t matter. Lovely place & would definitely recommend.

About the restaurant

Nestled in the picturesque village of Lowonsford, on the banks of the Stratford Canal, between winding country roads that used to be part of the Forest of Arden, The Fleur De Lys is the very best kind of country pub. Packed full of quaint charm and quirky corners beneath its C16th wooden beams, The Fleur is a cosy haven in the winter and an extensive paradise in the summer. There are so many tiny wonders packed into this historic building that you will always find something new to fall in love with when you visit. Our garden boasts an acre of land to run riot on and a low level wooden children’s playground, alongside over 30 tables and benches. We’re ideally situated for walkers and ramblers who wish to explore the canal towpath or a variety of local walks. If you’re intending on zooming through this part of Warwickshire on a bicycle, The Fleur makes an excellent intermediary watering hole to fortify you for the ride ahead.

We had an absolutely amazing evening at The Farmhouse! My friends travelled from Manchester and Birmingham, and they were so impressed with the whole experience. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the hospitality was second to none. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and nothing was too much trouble. Such a lovely evening with fantastic company and exceptional service. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our evening so special. We can’t wait to return! ❤️

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!!
