Quick info
About The Royal Redgate
The Royal Redgate has stood as an inn since the 18th century on Watling St in Nuneaton, on the Leicestershire and Warwickshire border. The kitchen builds its menu around home cooked pub food from local ingredients, with pies a recurring feature, including a steak and ale pie and a chicken and leek pie finished with a puff pastry crust. A butchers platter starter and steak dishes appear regularly, alongside a confit pork belly and a handmade chicken burger, each served with a choice of sides and sauces. Vegan diners are catered for too, with a vegan cheesy garlic bread and a homemade vegan steak on offer. Sundays bring a lunch and roast selection alongside the standard menu. The large dining area accommodates groups and special occasions, with capacity for up to 80 guests. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub.

Customer Review Summary
Pies draw repeat visits again and again, with the steak and ale pie and chicken pie singled out as favorites alongside attentive, friendly staff. Close behind, steaks are a recurring highlight, from a butcher's platter to a confit pork belly and a steak praised as mouth watering with light, crispy chips. Starters and puddings also stand out, including melt-in-the-mouth scallops, vegan cheesy garlic bread, a white chocolate cheesecake, and a knickerbocker glory, and one vegan diner appreciated the inclusive menu though felt the vegan "steak" was texturally more of a burger. One Sunday visit was more mixed: while the steak and starters impressed, that reviewer described the cauliflower soup as inedible, the fish and chips as grey, and the roast potatoes as grey and undercooked, leading them to say they would not return for a roast. Service is described consistently as friendly, efficient, and welcoming, even when the pub was busy.

“We went out for a family birthday. Drinks came and were great, and the staff were very friendly. It was a Sunday and the party split food between the main menu and the Sunday lunch options. The steaks and starters (butchers platter) were amazing, however the cauliflower soup was inedible, the adult fish and chips was grey, and the roast dinners had boiled potato’s that were grey and shoved in the oven as their roast potato option. Overall would not come back for a roast or on a Sunday, however happy to have the main menu especially the steak. The staff were great but very busy.”

“Booked lunch for eight people while on holiday in the area. The Royal Redgate did not disappoint. It had a friendly, cosy atmosphere despite having a lot of tables and it was very busy ( not surprised, the food was excellent). The staff were really great (efficient, pleasant, and fun). The wide ranging menu available on a Sunday was fantastic catering for all preferences on the day. Highly recommend a visit!”
