Overview

44 Café, Bar & Bistro was opened in March by brewers Gavin Leach and Rob Singleton who are now proudly serving their Windmill Hill beers just a mile from where it is made, at Victoria Business Centre in Neilston Street.

Their menu offers a selection of Small Plates, freshly cooked pizzas, burgers and Bar Snacks, all created to complement Windmill Hill’s ales.

Rob and Gavin also aspire to work with as many Warwickshire businesses as possible, current suppliers including Hilltop Farm for steaks and burgers; Cureights of Church Farm, in Budbrooke for their chorizo; Virtue Food Company of Radford Semele for pizza dough; and Joe Delucci’s Gelato of Lighthorne who supply the ice cream for some of their ‘crowd-pleasing’ desserts.

A packed programme of live entertainment has recently been unveiled with comedy and music both a regular fixture at the venue.

44 is open Wednesdays to Saturdays from 9.30am-11pm and Sundays from 12-6pm. Visit here
