Quick info
About Huntsman Carvery Dunchurch
Huntsman Carvery Dunchurch is an English carvery on The Square in Rugby, where reservations are required to secure a table. The kitchen centres on carvery-style meals with generous portions of meat and a side of vegetables, while the dining room holds onto its long-standing furniture and cutlery, unchanged for over 30 years. Music plays during service, and the team is willing to swap a dessert for an iced coffee on request. The format is a single carvery room serving this traditional approach to a roast.

“Second time here. Great food and friendly service, very accommodating. Meats are succulent, even chicken and turkey. We’re not big on deserts but they agree to change my desert to an iced coffee. Had a lovely Sunday.”

“First time back after a good few years, took my partner for the first time, to say he was impressed was an understatement, “best carvery he’s ever had” the amount of meat you get is so generous! The staff are all very attentive and accommodating. You must visit if you’ve never been before.”
- John Mills

“Lovely carvery, the meat was outstanding and good portion.”
- Jennifer Barlow
“My 2 stars are for the AMAZING meat which is always incredible, however that’s where the positives end, the potatoes aren’t as good as they used to be and only 2 options of vegetables which are always bland and naff. This place is in desperate need of a HUGE refurb now, it’s still the same cutlery, glasses, furniture as it was over 30 years ago!! Hence you can imagine extremely tired and in bad condition now. There was awful funeral sounding music playing which is very annoying and depressing. Wouldn’t rush back or recommend to anyone anymore, it’s also very expensive now, they should put some money into upgrading furniture and cutlery etc now.”
