About The Old Smithy
The Old Smithy is a pub and restaurant on Green Lane in Rugby, and dogs are welcome throughout the ground floor. The kitchen runs a daytime menu with a broad choice of meals, including a mixed grill as a regular option. Staffing on Tuesdays is reduced, which is worth bearing in mind when planning a midweek visit, and the room is consistently busy at peak times. The format suits casual lunches and relaxed meals, with the bar and dining areas running side by side in the same space.
