My wife and I have been looking forward to coming down to Warwickshire to do the pug pub experience. We decided to start in the Fat Pug for some dinner before setting off to visit the other pug pubs in the area. Unfortunately, the food quality serviced to us was below our expectations. We had high hopes of some good pub grub here after reading reviews and scanning their menu, but we were let down by ridiculously bland, greasy food. For instance, you could literally pour 2 shot glasses of grease from a dish I ordered. The gravy tasted burnt (who burns gravy), and everything seemed overcooked. Overall, we were very disappointed. Staff were very friendly and the pub itself was nice.** Just be mindful of their hidden 10% service charge (aka tip) written in the very small print of their menus. ** they take payment first and don't give you a receipt, nor do they tell you verbally either.. on top of there included 20% VAT.. Very naughty!

Maybe I should have had the roast but I chose the fish & chips. The fish wasn't very fresh and the batter was stodgy and not cooked well. Similarly the chips were rather oily and disappointing.

Incredible food and a good selection of ciders! Lovely staff and overall a great vibe

Sadly not good food, also quite pricey and very slow service for a quiet lunchtime. I had scampi which was burned and rock hard. Chips were nice but quite a small portion. Bar staff were excellent very helpful and attentive, but not enough to bring me back I’m afraid.

A group of us was booked in for lunch. All meals had been pre-ordered. The main course took over an hour to be delivered and mine was cold with soggy roast potatoes by the time I got it. We will be voting with our feet.

Great place - the servers were very friendly and the music being played (classic rock anthems) made want to come back another night while I am attending a local conference - job done.

Went on a Sunday for a roast, and they had run out. We ordered what they had left and it took them almost an hour to deliver 2 salads and some fish and chips. When we complained we didn't get an apology. 85 quid wasted.
A brilliant meal with great service. Well worth a visit.

We were on a canal holiday and googled pubs within walking distance so glad we did 20 mins and we were in a friendly local pub with great atmosphere and the food was delicious very attentive staff would highly

One of the worst meals I’ve ever had. I ordered the special - pork belly with a side of beans. The pork was not pork belly, the fat was chewy and it was served on a bowl of tinned baked beans. I was not asked how the meal was despite almost all of it remaining on the plate. Definitely not worth £12 for what is essentially a bowl of tinned baked beans with a piece of pork loin. It’s a shame as I have previously had food at the pug which has been great.
