May Bank Holiday in Warwick — Spend It at The Old Coffee Tavern The May Bank Holidays are two of the finest weekends of the year — longer days, warmer evenings, and that unmistakable feeling that summer is finally on its way. If you're wondering where to spend a May Bank Holiday in Warwick, or you're planning a break to the area, The Old Coffee Tavern is the place to be.
We're open throughout both Bank Holiday weekends — early May and the Spring Bank Holiday at the end of the month — serving food, drinks, and genuine Warwickshire hospitality from open to close. Eat, Drink and Relax This Bank Holiday There is nothing quite like a long Bank Holiday lunch in a great British pub. Our full menu will be running across both weekends, including our much-loved Sunday Roast on the Bank Holiday Sundays — slow-cooked meats, proper roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, seasonal vegetables, and homemade gravy. Book ahead if you want a table; Bank Holiday roasts go quickly.
When the sun comes out — and in May, we're optimistic — our outdoor garden is one of the nicest spots in Warwick town centre to enjoy a pint or a glass of something cold. When the weather keeps things interesting, our real fire and cosy bar are waiting inside.
We serve a full range of cask ales, craft beers, wines, and soft drinks — something for everyone, whatever the occasion. Explore Warwick Over the Bank Holiday Weekend A May Bank Holiday weekend gives you the perfect amount of time to really explore Warwick and the surrounding area — and staying at The Old Coffee Tavern puts you right in the middle of it all.
Warwick Castle is spectacular in May — the grounds are at their most beautiful, the events calendar is full, and the longer days mean you can fit in everything from the bird of prey displays to the Kingmaker experience and still make it back to us for an early evening pint.
Take a walk along the Two Castles Route between Warwick and Kenilworth — a scenic trail through the Warwickshire countryside connecting two of England's finest medieval fortresses.
The Hatton Flight of Locks canal walk is especially beautiful in spring, and Charlecote Park is glorious when everything is in bloom. If you fancy a trip into town, Royal Leamington Spa is just minutes away and is wonderful for a leisurely morning browse.
Warwick town itself is a joy to explore on foot over a long weekend — the Market Hall, the independent shops around the Old Square, the historic streets — this is a town that rewards slow exploration. Stay for the Bank Holiday Weekend Make the most of the long weekend by booking one of our ten en-suite rooms. Combine a full Bank Holiday weekend in Warwick with great food, cold drinks, and a comfortable bed just upstairs — the perfect way to do the May Bank Holiday properly.
Continental breakfast is available on weekdays; a full English is served at weekends to set you up for the day ahead.
Bank Holiday rooms book up fast — we recommend securing yours early.
