My parents held a 70th wedding anniversary lunch for nearly 50 family & friends here. The foods (carvery) was fantastic. Starters were delicious, very generous portions of meat, great veg and brilliant puddings.The staff were all very friendly.Just a couple of minor things we had to remind them we wanted ie easel for the table plan and numbers on the tables. We were also short of saucers to go with the cups for the coffee at the end.Generally though it was great and everyone really enjoyed themselves.Thanks to Snehal for all his help on the day.

Had Saturday lunch here recently, Really friendly from all the staff, a very good menu including most food, they also have smaller meals for £6. They will also slightly modify your choice of potatoes or vegetables which we were pleased about. It looked as if the restaurant would take up to 70 -80 people. I would recommend you book to avoid disappointment. Also very popular with walking groups. Car park to the side for approximately 20 cars.

Been to the restaurant many times before came today with family and the service was really poor. 3 of the dishes were not available from their menu. Took 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive.. and this was after I asked where our drinks were. Same with the starters took 45 minutes for the vegetarian mezze and flatbread to arrive to which we had to ask to see where it was. The humous on the platter wasn't even enough to feed a baby.. let alone 2 people! Not all the empty glasses and used plates were taken from the table throughout the entire meal. When I went to speak to the manager about it near the end to say how disappointed I was with the service, he did not ask what went wrong or what the problem was.. just a sorry and that they were busy. I have been there many times before when all the tables were taken and had a better service.. it was not busy. The table next to us had the same issues. A 2 hour meal took over 3 hours.. I won't be going for a while and won't be recommending it to friends and family as the service today was shocking.

We had a lunch time meal with my brother and his wife. Good friendly service with a welcome smile. We all enjoyed the food. A good menu to choose from with at lunch time which gives you a choice of courses. I hah 2 courses for £8. My brothers all day breakfast on the other part of the menu looked very good. Will definitely visit again in near future. Decor is modern and garden looks nice too. HiThank you for taking time to review us, glad you enjoyed your visit, especially good to hear you were greeted with a smile :) see you soon

We were in Rugby last month and visited Metchantâs Inn on several occasions. Every-time we went in the service was excellent! The vibe is amazing and I love the decor. Our family had chosen this venue for a lunch get-together on a weekend- absolutely fantastic service, excellent customer service and great food! Definitely recommend!

Met some friends here for Thursday steak night. Steak was delicious. Staff really friendly and welcoming, and we're very understanding when a member of our party was running late for the booked time , this was so much appreciated and added to the lovely evening we had

Value for money, expecially the DIAMOND CLUB. Perfect quantities for this age group and quality meal. Its a long time since we ventured in to the GREEN MAN, but were very pleasantly surprised. Young man at the bar (presumably proprietor?) was very personable and welcoming. I think we might be back.

Reviewed By Britrunner
Another stunning meal arranged for our dining group. The food was sensational with such wonderful flavours and texture throughout. Everyone was praising the evening, regardless of the choice they made from the menu.I had the beetroot and gin infused salmon starter that was amazing, with burned orange pieces and flavoursome pea shoots (large ones with a lovely peppery taste).That was followed by a delicious chicken on a bed of buttery mash and served with a small jug of champagne velouté that was divine. The vegetables were a superb mixture of tangy, slightly (but perfectly) bitter cavolo nero, the most exquisite roasted romanesco and small, tender wild mushrooms.The sweet was a final triumph of white chocolate mouse, with lemon curd underneath and topped with a raspberry sorbet.The whole evening was served in style by the most attentive staff ... all dressed up in lovely (very unique and individual) outfits.All this in the most sumptuous and well designed setting.What more could you ask for ?Dear Britrunner,Thank you for your spectacular review. We really could only bask ourselves in the volumes of your praise, such was it sterling quality. We were tickled pink by your numerous compliments about the food; itâs marvellous to know you and your party enjoyed it so universally from starter to pudding. Your praise really attests to the popularity of dishes like the beetroot salmon starter and white chocolate mousse. Furthermore, your compliments about the staff themselves were equally well-received. Indeed, as a restaurant we pride on ourselves on allowing our lovely staff to truly embrace their idiosyncrasies as a way of ensuring the best service possible. We look forward to seeing you again soon,Kind regards,Jack

Having been to the Huntsman a couple of years ago, I've been itching to go back. Menu is available online so you know what's what before you go. The serving staff were all extremely polite and friendly, a young team but all offering great service. Chef serving meat was very cheerful, had a good conversation with EVERY customer and the meat quality and quantity was superb. Only thing I didnt like the look of was the mashed potato... it was very runny! Had a great afternoon, thanks to all the staff!

We ate here on a Wednesday evening as a table of 4. We had booked a table but unfortunately the staff were preoccupied with serving drinkers/diners sitting in the garden. The service was incredibly bad - ages to take order (20 minutes), ages for food to arrive (45 minutes), forgetting to bring steak knife for steak (despite being asked twice) no table check, no sauces (the waiter forgot) no drinks order taken after drinks finished.The food was average. The chicken Caesar salad was as far removed from a Caesar salad as you can get (who has ever heard of onions, peppers and a poached egg on a Caesar salad?). The steak was very tough and the gammon was thin and grey. As no steak knife arrived the steak was inedible. We couldn't tell the waiting staff as they had vanished! The fish and chips was good however. This was a birthday meal and we were all left disappointed. For local pub grub this place isn't cheap and did not live up to expectations.
