Good pub with large car park and grass area leading down to the canal. Plenty of walking available along the canal, good for dog walkers. The pub is spacious inside and also has a raised area outside where you can eat meals. If eating outside, orders have to be paid for as you go along. Inside a tab can be set up. Good variety of real ales were on offer, I think these change regularily. For the gin drinkers there is a selection of gins. Slightly cut down menu for outside eating which included pan fried fish, fish and chips, burgers, steaks and various interesting vegetarian options. Service was good, orders taken efficiently, and delivered to the table quickly. Dirty glasses and plates were also removed promptly. All in all a good experience, coffee was also well made. In easy reach for canal boats, so reasonable place to moor up for the night. Also in easy reach by road as not far off from the Warwick bypass and the M40. If you sit outside on the decking you are unable to have a tab and have to pay for each order. Alas that is not a complaint about the pub, but more so about some of the customers who insist on free meals and drinks. ***Update*** In 2018 the same standards are being kept. Busy still doing well.

Spent last Friday evening here, great spot by the canal for a beer but was really disappointed by some of the food given the pricing - had the chicken parfait starter. The bread was burnt and literally crumbled to bits, not sure why they’d serve it like that. Had the crispy beef too which was like beef jerky it was so overcooked and dry, honestly like a dog chew. Sent these back and the manager took them off the bill. Had the roast lamb main which give them their dues was a lot better and worth the money. The lamb kofta we had for mains as well was hit or miss, struggle to see how some dry koftas and flavourless couscous and a small bit of bread is £21.50 - overall £55 for two mains seems very steep. Beer options were good, but service was so slow on the terrace. Wanted a dessert but was fed up waiting for someone to take order so just asked for the bill.

Good food, apart from the PLASTIC(!) embedded in the brownies! Last corner of it was full of broken plastic. Notified the staff and they sent the manager over, who to be quite honest I found rather condescending. I mentioned that I had autism (which made the whole thing worse due to sensory issues with food), and she then said "oh we've all got a bit of that don't we". I hope you're reading this, because no "we" don't, you would know about it if you did, do not make it seem like something to be taken lightly as it can be debilitating at times. I will definitely not be visiting again, mostly due to the managers comment on my disability. (P.S: I used to love brownies, and I haven't been able to eat one since, they repulse me, still think autism is a joke?)

Overall, the Hatton Arms is a wonderful place with a beautiful open fire, but sadly staffed by waiters that need a bit of education when it comes to communication. My wife and I had a walk along the canal from Warwick during the Christmas break. Despite there being plenty of empty tables, a staff member informed us we wouldn’t be able to get a table for an hour and a half. The waitress who told us this then gave us a masterclass in avoiding and ignoring us, hiding on the other side of the bar. I’d love to be able to describe the food, but the only advice I can give is that you book by telephone before you arrive, so that you actually have a chance to sample it. We decided to get a taxi and eat elsewhere. We won’t be in a hurry to try again.

Visited for an evening meal. Initially, there were 3 items not available on the menu, so I selected the lamb shank with veg. The food arrived looking well presented, but to be truthful, I was disappointed. The mash was lacking any flavour and could have been an instant mash for the lack of flavour and texture. The carrots and parsnips were cooked well, but so few. The meat was tough and again didn't have a great deal of flavour, and was difficult to remove from the bone. Overall, would I say it was worth £25.00, absolutely not, and neither was the service charge of £5, but for what.. bring a plate of food over. Stop adding service charges to bills to embarrass your patrons into asking for it to be removed. Not great.

Nice selection of beers on draught including Peroni and Tiny Rebel's Club Tropicana. Prices here are at the higher end but not extortionate. I went for the chicken Milanese which was perfectly Moist and crunchy on the outside, packed with flavour! The only downside was the slightly udnerdone skinny fries. I also sampled some of the mussels - cooked well but unfortunately the sauce was lacking in flavour. Service was good though with attentive and professional staff. I will be returning as I love the location of this place which is great for canal walks and beers in the sun in their huge beer garden! The atmosphere inside is equally as pleasant in the winter with lovely fireplaces and stoves to huddle around!
