About The Craftsman

Welcome to The Craftsman: An Artisan Café-Bar with Heart

Café by day, bar by night — always handcrafted.

At The Craftsman, everything we do is built on craftsmanship — from the food on your plate to the drink in your glass. We’re a family-run independent café-bar in the heart of Warwick, dedicated to making, sourcing, and serving genuinely artisan products while supporting other small, local makers who share our passion for quality and authenticity.

Food First — Crafted, Local, Seasonal

Our kitchen celebrates the art of honest, handmade food. From hearty breakfasts and brunches to creative lunches, sharing plates, and our signature pizzas, every dish is freshly cooked by our chefs using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

We work with independent local bakers, butchers, and growers to ensure that what you eat is every bit as thoughtful as what you drink.

Don’t forget to explore our homemade cakes and bakes, crafted daily — and our seasonal smoothies made openly with real fruit, super-fresh ingredients, and zero pretence.

Drinks with Character — from Coffee to Cocktails

We may have started life as a craft-beer bar, but The Craftsman has grown into so much more.

• Cocktails: Our new range of artisan cocktails celebrates craftsmanship in liquid form — balancing fresh fruit, and premium spirits in a menu that evolves with the seasons.
• Coffee & Tea: We proudly serve coffee from Monsoon Estates, our local Stratford-upon-Avon roastery, alongside a beautiful selection of loose-leaf teas & infusions from The Tea House in Wootton Wawen served the proper way — with care.
• Smoothies & Softs: Our made-to-order “naked” smoothies and iced drinks are blended fresh in front of you, letting the quality of each ingredient shine.
• Craft Beer: And of course, we still honour our roots — with 16 rotating taps and bottleshop shelves lined with cans and bottles from the best independent brewers in the UK and beyond. Real independent craft beer. Real people behind it.

Artisan Collaborations

Our mission is simple: to keep things real, local, and handcrafted.

We choose to work with other small producers, artisans, and family-run suppliers — from the roasters, bakers, butchers and brewers we buy from, to the artists, musicians, and craftspeople we showcase. Every product has a story, and every story connects us to the people who made it.

Co-Working & Community

Whether you’re here to catch up with friends, tuck into brunch, or spend the day working remotely, The Craftsman is your home-from-home office.

With comfortable spaces, free Wi-Fi, great coffee, and a friendly atmosphere, it’s easy to see why so many people call it their local office.

Our crazy value Co-Working Deal still stands: all-day coffee, teas, and soft drinks, 15% off food, and a well-earned pint or glass of wine at the end of your shift. All for just £15.

Family & Team

The Craftsman is run by Paul & Harvey, supported by Jacqui & Regan, and powered by a brilliant crew of real character.

We’ve lived in Warwick for over 25 years and are proud to call it home. Everything here — from the décor to the menu — has been created with heart, by family, by team, for our community.
