Punchbowl Lapworth, The Description
Set in the picturesque surroundings of the wonderful Warwickshire countryside, just minutes from the NEC, Solihull and Warwick, The Punchbowl at Lapworth is the perfect place to pop in for that impromptu lunch with friends or colleagues or enjoy a candlelit dinner with nearest and dearest.
With a modern slant on an otherwise traditional English country pub that encompasses a real log fire, oak beams, candelabras, leather sofas and cutting edge modern art, The Punchbowl could be said to have it all. The food is essentially gastropub in style with attentive presentation and cheerful service.
From amongst the starters seared lamb kidney and black pudding salad, or dressed Cornish crab rolled in sushi nori compete with a red onion and goat's cheese tart or a classic cheeseburger with coleslaw and chips. A smoked haddock fishcake with creamed leeks and tartare sauce treads the narrow line between a heavy starter and light main course.
However, the Scottish sirloin of beef, hung for the prescribed 28 days, is likely to prove a greater attraction for many. Back to Cornwall for a rack of lamb, served with dauphinois potatoes, or Barbary breast of duck with braised red cabbage and red wine jus.
For those in perfect harmony The Punchbowl thoughtfully provides dishes for two, which produces Chateaubriand in everything but name, and a choice between chicken, beef or duck. Each comes with gratin dauphinois, vegetables at one with the season, roasted tomatoes and chips.
Puddings start off with the splendidly named Eton Mess, progress through a traditional apple tart and ice cream, and a splendid plate of selected farmhouse cheese.
The wine list competes with a broad range of beers, lagers and other bottled pleasures. Cloudy Bay at a shade under £30 is good value and there are other interesting numbers tucked away in a short but perfectly adequate list.
The Punchbowl is the sort of place that makes little or no demands upon its guests but offers great value in really attractive surroundings; however, you can find out much more about it on its Website.

Your Reviews of Punchbowl Lapworth, The
Fairview Solihull (17 January 2009)
I went there last night on Friday with group of girlfriends. The food was great - Asian plate was yummy and fresh bread with rock salt butter was lovely - the atmosphere was cosy, the place was very busy but the members of staff were very attentive. In fact the members of staff were lovely and made us very welcome and looked after us well. Definitely would recommend and will go again soon.

Tried this place out for my wife's birthday and we agree that it is, pound for pound, the best restaurant that we have been in. Don't get me wrong, there is better food out there but when all things are considered, this is hard to beat. The food, atmosphere, staff and setting are all excellent and the whole experience is great value for money and great fun. It’s highly recommended.
