ABOUT US

Welcome to The Great Western, a place where history, great food, and community come together.

Nestled in the heart of Warwickshire, The Great Western Pub has been a local treasure since the mid-1800s. Originally established to serve travellers and workers of the Great Western Railway at the nearby Southam Road and Harbury station, our pub has retained its iconic charm for generations. Steeped in history and connected to the legacy of British engineering, we are proud to be a symbol of tradition in a modern world.

Every day, we truly take a moment to step back and see just how far we’ve come… 🚂
From an idea and a vision, to a pub filled with food, laughter, music, friendships and community.
There’s still so much more to come, but sometimes it’s important to stop, look around and feel incredibly proud of what we’ve built together. It was never just going to be a lick of paint…
The Great Western — all aboard. ❤️🚂
