Open plan estate pub. Serves meals. Full details
Modern pub built 1970 on waste land in in typical 1970s architectural style. It consists of an open plan u-shaped area, mainly seating with the games area (darts and pool) at the far right hand end. Originally it was built with two rooms served from one central bar but this was found to be difficult to manage and was soon altered.
The name is much older than the present building which is a replacement for a previous hostelry at 45 Kings Street. During the mid 1970s, there was extensive rebuilding in this area with most of the buildings being demolished. The old pub had a tiny one room bar, it features in the trade directories as far back as 1860. Full details
Popular street-corner local near town centre. Comfortably furnished and a welcoming atmosphere. Regular satelite tv sports sessions.
According to the pubs official history it was opened in 1853; however a map in the County Record Office dated 1852 shows the pub with virtually nothing built around it. The first landlord was William Morris and for a period of time he was also the licensee of the nearby Greyhound. Mr Morris died aged 47 in 1868 and his wife Hannah carried on until she died in 1906. During the 1920&s and 30&s; it was a lively place with regular "charra" trips to the seaside and race meetings and weekend sing songs round the piano.
Before Ansells took over, it was run by the Leamington Lucas Brewery. In 1986, it was one of the first pubs to become a Heritage Inn. The Victorian character was restored using original features where possible including the stained glass windows, the doormat and the splendid tiled fireplaces. Full details
One room pub - popular with young drinkers. Full details
An old Leamington Pub called the Brunswick Arms existed on this site (well actually the car park) until the late 1950s. The new replacement pub, in typical late 50s/early 60s style, was known as the "Jet & Whittle" for many years, changing to Brunswick in May 1998. Frank Whittle, inventor of the jet engine, lived locally during his school years, which may have brought about the latest name change to "The Jet" in October 2003.
