Satchmo's Corner
"What a Wonderful World"
Built in 1867, Satchmo's Corner sits in a wonderful old building in the market town of Rugby, famous for the game, Rugby School and for being
The Gateway to the Midlands.
Satchmo's Corner represents all one wants to enjoy in a restaurant, one might say. Take some time out of your day to slow down and relax in the epitome of comfort, in our soft lounge area or more formally at the table where you will be served food from our menus of modern British cuisine,
whether breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or evening meal all of which are cooked in-house by our amazing Chef's, who prepare, cook and serve
fresh food daily, Tuesday to Sunday.
Starting with an array of delicious choices.
Breakfast with an array of options is served 9am - 12pm, and our luncheon menu, from 12pm - 6pm.
Satchmo’s would not be complete if we didn’t offer our quintessentially English afternoon teas which are served 1pm – 4pm and followed by
dinner at 5pm.

    Booked a table of 5 for my friends birthday meal.. the lay out of the place is all wrong.. the tables are at the front so while we are trying to enjoy the fine dining experience you have the loud lounge area behind which was a birthday party for younger guests so to speak and guests coming past every two minutes greeting guests was rather annoying… stiff next to our table as it’s the only way out.. the bar needs to be at the front and tables for food at the back to avoid it.. it was like a kids party .. not what we were expecting.. staff were busy but food was nice . Wouldn’t go back unless the logistics of the place changed it was far from the quiet fine dining experience

    We went last night for our 2nd visit and wow, so much better than when it first opened! The food was amazing; three of us had rib eye steak, all cooked differently, and all cooked perfectly!! We didn't have starters but only because we never manage our mains otherwise. The home made ice cream was dekicious! The service we had from our waitress was second to none! We haven't experienced service like it a really long time! She was friendly, enjoyed a laugh with us but was also efficient and responsive to our table, she even quickly jumped in when one of our party went to poor his own glass of wine!!! We wanted to sit in the cozy, near the DJ as he was playing 90s tunes. There were no spaces available so Andre moved a table and four chairs into the area for us !! The ONLY thing was it was roasting hot as their AC wasn't working! But hopefully that'll be fixed by the next time we return, or there won't be a great wave lol!! I really can't rate our experience last night highly enough!! Great atmosphere, delicious food and outstanding service!! We can't wait to return!! Thank you!

    The truffle gnocchi is the best pasta ve ever had. The service was outstanding, attentive, communicative, knowledgeable, personable. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect, I can honestly say this restaurant is an absolute gem of The Midlands.
