The Cape of Good Hope

The Cape of Good Hope is an independent freehold pub and restaurant situated alongside the Grand Union Canal at Warwick top lock, just a 15 minute stroll from Warwick town centre. The owners, Steve and Emma Jury, have run the Cape for over 27 years, supported by general manager Tom Buxton. As a free house with no brewery ties, the pub offers three permanent real ales alongside three ever changing guest ales and craft beers, plus a comprehensive wine and spirits menu. The food menu focuses on traditional British cuisine with hearty pub classics including fish and chips, pies, and Sunday roasts, all made with locally sourced ingredients where possible. Fresh fish is delivered from Cornwall, with meat from a local butcher, bread from a local baker, and vegetables from a local greengrocer. The menu caters for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. Outside, there is ample seating along the canal, and inside the pub retains its rustic character with wooden beams, a snug interior, and an inviting fireplace. The pub hosts regular events including Sunday lunch, Joker Poker on Thursdays, live music, and quiz nights. A two bedroom cottage is available for accommodation next door. The Cape was named Traditional Pub of the Year 2024.
