Best Restaurants for Groups in Rugby

An elegantly decorated restaurant with a nice ambience, amazing staff and lovely food. Whilst the prices of the dishes may seem slightly pricey, the portion sizes are very generous and the food is delicious so in my opinion, absolutely worth the money. We were a family of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meals, including 2 children who had the adult/main dishes instead of the kids dishes (with leftovers as a takeaway!). The staff were really friendly and attentive, they even repeated the dry ice vapour for us when serving our meals as the children missed it as they had gone to the toilets. Couldn’t fault a thing and would absolutely recommend going here for a special occasion.

Everything we would have hoped for plus a little bit extra. All staff were attentive and they went that extra mile by recognising it was our anniversary. The food was the best we have ever had. Thanks to everyone at The Cross.

Love the ambience and fact they have gluten free availability in the food

My friend and I had the fixed price menu and the food was exceptional. The atmosphere is very welcoming and comfortable and the service superb. An excellent way to spend a pre Christmas lunchtime!

From arriving, it was a fabulous set up, the lounge where we we had cocktails and canapés was lovely, then after half an hour we were taken to the restaurant upstairs. Course after delicious course arrived and were beautifully presented and explained. We thoroughly enjoyed them BUT as soon as we took the last bite and put the cutlery down, the plate was whisked away before we’d even chewed and swallowed. I did comment each time ‘ that’s too quick’ and it meant that we felt we were on a conveyor belt and rushed. We’d driven up from Kent ( booking an hotel for the night) and arrived at the hotel literally 40 minutes before our seating time and so we were wanting to relax but this meant we were rushed. And as soon as we finished our last course with wine still in our glasses, they wanted to move us back to the lounge for coffee and petit fours but I refused saying I wanted to finish my wine. As we commented to each other and compared it it to Aulis/Raby Hunt/ Frog/ L’enclume/ Roux at Landau/ Gavroche/ Fat Duck etc.. we decided this was far far too rushed and at that very moment I got my phone out and booked Aulis for our 5th time. Nice though Opheem was, I think we’ll stick to our Aktar at Home deliveries that we’ve had for the last 4/5 yrs and have them relaxing at home. The staff were excellent but the management have decided to maximise revenue by processing customers through - very sad.
