Website

Reputed to be Kenilworth’s oldest pub and quality purveyor of Everards beers. Quaint Old Town High Street location near Abbey Fields and Kenilworth Castle, this multi–roomed, split-level pub with outside courtyard gets busy with diners enjoying the popular traditional pub food and Sunday lunch. Street parking is limited but there is a nearby public car park. Dogs welcomed except in the restaurant area.

Historic Interest

First used as a pub in 1563 when it was called the Two Virgins Inn. By 1777 it was named the Sign of the Two Virgins. A merger with the Castle Tavern in 1828 gave rise to the pub's present name.
