   Was there for football today pub landlord and staff excellent. Beer decent price food on match day basic but good. As an away fan we were made very welcome. Only 15 min walk to ground and was able to park for free.

   This is a fabulous pub, woth really friendly staff. It's on the canal front so we sat and had a pint outside admiring the view. We'll be back.

   Generous portions served for Sunday roast. Nice sun trap of a beer garden literally next to the canal. Only 1 cask ale on at the time of visit, but this is a pub that has tidied up considerably since my last visit a few years ago.

   Really pleasant visit. Attended prior to a football match at Coventry City FC. Contrary to the comments below away fans are permitted unless the pub is given advice from the police not to, such as local rivals, the same as the use of plastic cups. My advice is to call the pub in advance and check. The pub was very busy on my visit and it was four deep at the bar. They could have done with extra staff and a policy in place, say 4 drinks max per customer? Some customers were selfishly orderly 8-10 (I kid you not!!) pints EACH. This meant other customers had to wait and some, understandably, just left as the wait time was just too much. That said, I did manage to get served and we sat out in the pleasant garden by the canal. Really friendly atmosphere. We returned after the game and the pub put a band on. The return visit was much calmer and we managed to get a seat inside. Again, home and away fans together and no issues whatsoever. Re parking, the pub has 15 spaces for customers on a first come, first served basis. Don’t park in surrounding streets as many returned to £60 tickets as the place is in a controlled parking zone, issued by the council. If you don’t fancy, or can’t get, official parking, I would suggest the non official car park opposite Novotel on Wilsons Lane. Always spaces and cheap prices too. It’s only a 10 min walk to the Longford engine too!

   Very busy pub, but it was a match day. It was nice to sit by the side of the canal. BTW away fans aren't allowed in and there's security on the door. Top tip, don't park in the zones you're not allowed to on match day or you will get a ticket (see pictures).
