There's a pub on the corner, I'll meet you inside

WANTED: nice place to eat near Warwick(ish).

Can anyone recommend a reasonable eatery, readily accessible from the M40, in the approximate vicinity of Warwick ? Preferably a nice pub, or a restaurant that won't mind some people lounging around and chatting for a long while.

(I'm not sure if there are any readers here for whom that's local. keris?)

Recommendations of where not to go also accepted :)

Thanks for any advice.

Personally, I'd reccommend going to Henley in Arden, which is quite close to Warwick, and going to the Henley in Arden ice-cream shop, as it's wonderful... they have a tea room attached.

Other than that, things in Warwick - well I don't know it that well, as I live in Cov, but the one place I've been to there was nice - a pizza restaurant, Pizza Organic, which we turned up to at about 2 on a Saturday and had the place pretty much to ourselves for several hours.

Sorry I can't be any help with pubs :(

I drove through Henley in Arden at Easter in a misguided attempt to avoid M42/M40 traffic jams. Though I didn't stop, it did seem pleasant enough. Stratford on Avon isn't too far away either. Though whether that belongs in the list of places to avoid depends on your tolerance of foreign tourists.
