The bar room is a traditional harmony of wood, brick and tile making for a relaxed and content atmosphere.

    J.D. Wetherspoon
    Tel:01926 883733
    The Benjamin Satchwell, named after a former Leamington benefactor, bears all the hallmarks of the Wetherspoon style. (The real Benjamin Satchwell discoverred Leamington&s second spring in 1784.) Converted from two shops opposite the Regent Hotel, the pub is large, stretching back to Bedford Street. The split level of the shops has been used well to create a comfortable lower seating area with a large book collection. The upper level hosts the impressively long bar. At the rear is a no-smoking area, the no-smoking rule is extended to the toilets and the bar. On the walls are panels depicting the history of the town and its benefactors. All the real ales are sensibly priced and there is a helpful three monthly guest beer list with tasting notes. For the hungry, bar meals are available at most times from a straightforward and inexpensive menu. The pub popular, the atmosphere being generated by conversation, not loud music. Opened August 1996.

      Hook Norton
      Tel:01926 425169

      Permanently closed since 2008.

      Two bar backstreet town pub. Was once Hook Norton's furthest north. Very large public bar and small cosy lounge. The first reference to the Black Horse we have is 1872 when it was listed as a beerhouse run by Elizabeth Hunt on Comyn Street. The pub was the only Hook Norton tied house for miles around. Exactly when, why and how they acquired it remains a mystery! There is a photograph dated 1920 which clearly shows it selling Hook Norton beers. Today the pub is much altered and no longer owned by Hook Norton. At some point a single storey flat roofed extension was built over the back yard to create the unusually large bar. This is in marked contrast to the cosy lounge which is tucked away where the old door on the corner used to be. Full details
