The Horse and Jockey offers an extensive beer garden (a real sun-trap) where customers can enjoy a pint of Real Ale whilst the garden offers an outdoor play area with pet chickens and rabbits to amuse the children.
The pub boasts a beautiful 18th century barn conversion

by North Warwickshire Borough Council, an extensive menu is offered six
days-a-week serving traditional home cooked food and that all essential Sunday

We are also a certified 18 pitch Camping & Caravanning

behaved dogs welcome in the bar. In winter and on some cooler summer nights you
will always find a roaring open fire and a warm welcome.
In 1824 the pub was known as "The Hanging Gate"
probably in reference to the toll gate on the Bentley Road. In 1952 Sir William Dugdale
rode his horse Cloncarrig in the Grand National and this was depicted in a
painting on the front of the pub. It was said that the picture was covered over
by the picture of an anonymous horse and jockey that we see today.
