Great selection of drinks, tasters of beers offered with out asking and then you can buy in 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, Pint or 2L. Great way to allow you to try several different beers. Excellent bar staff advising on what to try. Then drinks other than beer, Gins and Rum galore to chose from.
Food was really good, good menu and Tuesday is 2for1 on amazing pizzas so we had to try 2 of those.
Selection, atmosphere and especially staff really makes it really worth a visit.

Went for the English Breakfast. Came back for the pint in the afternoon.
Great vibe with very friendly staff. The location is very central, with laid back, cozy decor and spacious.
Lots of craft beer options! And free WiFi.

What a great find the beer was top notch and the atmosphere was lovely. We sat relaxed and played boardgames with my little girl.
The food looked great (sadly we had other plans) the barman (didn’t grab his name but he was Coventry) was really friendly and informative would definitely recommend a visit.

Came here to co-work for the day and had a perfect day. Atmosphere was cosy and the service was impeccable. Shout out to the guys behind the bar, they made the whole experience that more special. Will definitely be returning!

Went in today with a dying phone, Chris was lovely and let me charge it and brought me my drink before I had paid. The staff were lovely and clearly trusted their patrons. 10/10

Great place for breakfast. The barman informed us that the sausages (not to be confused with hostages), come from an artisan butcher in Stratford on Avon. The whole of the breakfast was top quality, which was especially true of the sausages, which were very meaty and full of flavour. We both had a latte, which was very nice but could have been a little hotter.
We were passing by during a heavy rain storm later in the day, having finished our business in the town and were offered shelter from the rain by a very helpful young man. We decided to do just that and took advantage of the pastries to go with our tea and coffee, before our return journey to Windsor. I would definitely recommend the tea, especially if like me, you enjoy three large mugs of tea from a single teapot. Spot on, I’d recommend the blueberry slice and tiffin, both were top quality and tasted homemade.
Last of all , I’d like to extend a big thank you to the barman, sorry I didn’t get his name, but we had a good bit of banter between us, making us feel like we were regulars, which we may be going forwards, visiting our son who is due to move to Warwick shortly.

Lovely little place – we went for a coffee after Warwick castle and not many places were open nearby so gave this place a try! The staff were friendly and coffee was nice – the billionaires shortbread was a particular favourite- it was a lovely quiet vibe when we went and I’m guessing because we came just after 4 on a Friday – I would recommend this little spot.

Really welcoming place with a lovely atmosphere. Amazing range of drinks and whilst we weren’t there for food ourselves I was very jealous of those sat around me that were as it looked really tasty! I will definitely be returning for coffee and breakfast one day as well as coming for my lunch here. Great to have such a nice place local to me.

Top notch new boozer and cafe in Warwick that serves 16 draught beers! There aren’t many places where you you get a good cappuccino and a great pint but The Craftsman is that rare place! Highly recommended

Warwick is very lucky to have this amazing establishment. Always an excellent and varied selection of craft beer to choose from, which rotates quickly due to how popular the venue is. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable and the food is top notch too. Well worth a visit.

A very nice coffee & beer cafe. Has also been a lifesaver with the co-working deal as I have recently moved to the area and haven’t got internet at home yet. Excellent value and a comfortable location with good WiFi & plug sockets!

Such a fantastic place to visit both during the day and in the evening. I’ve eaten here twice, both for pizza and Sunday roast, and both were excellent. Background music and the atmosphere is always spot on! Love it.

I stopped in Warwick on my way home from Kidderminster hoping to see the castle but was turned away because they don’t allow dogs so I came to the craftsman for lunch and it turned out to be the highlight of an otherwise disappointing visit to Warwick, unlike the castle they did let my dog in and were very friendly, the place was nicely decorated and very comfortable and the firecracker chicken toastie was really good, served with probably the nicest fries I have ever had. And the coffee was excellent. Thank you kindly .
