Entertainment 

The Warwick hosts a pub quiz every Sunday (£1 per person and max team size is six people), winners take the prize pot and 2nd place gets a bottle of wine, they also offer to cater small events. No mention of music or live performances though.

Atmosphere/Decor 

The Warwick holds a nice, relaxed atmosphere that has an upmarket feel but not pretentiously so. It's a nice warm feel and the decor is bright and has some interesting pictures and helps to retain a local feel, the windows are large enough to allow light in from the street or let you watch the world go by.

Price

Not great, 2 pints for £8, not the worst in the area but still a tad over average prices.

Quality Of Toilet

Toilets are clean, 3x urinals and 1x cubicle. Yellow urinal cakes, hot tap doesn't work (at time of writing). Easy to identify which is ladies and which is men's. 

Quality Of Barmaid

Bar staff were knowledgeable, friendly and pretty! 

Card Charges/Minimum Fee

Minimum fee to pay by card is £10, you can however open a tab instead.

Yes!

What Time Of Day Is It Best Suited Too?

The Warwick could slot into any time of day, maybe it's a sneaky lunchtime pint, a post work stop off or somewhere you drop by on the way home late at night. From our time there it appeared early evening may be its most popular time.

Overall

The Warwick is a nice, pleasant pub with a good feel and warm atmosphere, we would stay: For a few beers.
