Pug Pub #5's story

The smallest Pug, but with the biggest secret!

In the days of stagecoaches and highwaymen, canals around here served as the primary source of trade. Our building, where the bridge crosses the canal, has always held significance in the town.

The Grand Union Canal was effectively the original M40 – getting people and goods between Birmingham and London. Anyone familiar with Peaky Blinders? Well, we are on their route.

Our building was a bunkhouse of sorts. A stop-off on the long journey south or north, serving travellers, traders, and God-knows-who-else.

A new lease of life

You may well have known us as Procaffeinate not so long ago – and coffee-making is still in our blood – but now we serve the good folk of Leamington good food, good drinks and a great time.

A venue for wedding parties, birthday bashes, intimate live gigs and lively open mics, we also attract locals for a quiet pint with the dog, or a latte and your laptop.

You’ll find a quiet, fairy-lit garden and a sun-catching terrace on the canal on the outside, and a cosy welcome in both our bars on the inside. Oh, and there’s a secret entrance if you can spot it.
