The Castle Grounds Bar, Pub in Coventry

Reviews

1. Rob Fellows ★☆☆☆☆

   Comfortably the worst pub I have ever visited. I was persuaded to drink here by a friend, who's judgement I no longer respect. The experience was akin to spending time inside a dirty fridge with the light permanently stuck on. The word "ambiance" appears to be missing from Craft Union pubs dictionary. Pretty much every table was dirty & the doorway to the pub was full of food packaging litter. If drinking in a very brightly lit dustbin is your thing, this is the place for you. I shall not return.

   Beers good. Footballs on. Loads of screens. Raw pizza. No cutlery. Staff don't really care about serving raw food. Overall verdict, good pub, just don't eat there

   Asked for a food menu (the pub has always done food) and was told it was only margerita or pepperoni pizzas, however we were ordering for our little boy who loves pizza so a margerita was fine. Pizza came out, already cut but with it being our little one I asked for a knife and fork so I could cut it up smaller and they said they didn’t have knives and forks? Yet they normally have a full food menu? One half of the pizza was okay, the second half had raw watery dough in it, we showed the bar staff and manager this and they said the pizza oven is on a timer. That’s not an excuse for customers paying for food and receiving it raw (the bar staff also knew it was for a child). Does this mean we don’t check any food before it goes to the tables? When we showed the pizza we were offered some sweets for the child and a squash. No offer of a refund or anything like that. When I ordered my drinks the wrong drinks were poured but that was before this happened so I just though no worries, everyone makes mistakes but this was an absolute shambles from start to finish with no professionality from the staff, particularly the manager who said ‘I’ve had 4 weeks off I’m rusty’. That’s not an excuse, we’re paying customers and the service and food was terrible.

   Nice place, sadly they stopped serving food so now it's drinks only.

   Fun atmosphere and drink specials. Live music on Thursday nights, had a band from London I think they got redirected to the castle but they were spectacular. Different beer selections than other local pubs so good for variety. Nice staff and servers will be back fun small place to roll into on a cold night

   Been in here many times and had many good nights out here. Food is nice and reasonably priced as are the drinks. Chilled atmosphere in the day and can get really busy at the weekends and when showing sporting events. 5 stars all around, nice place

   Festive Bottomless Brunch on the Fri before Christmas..... Absolutely brilliant. Food was delicious, drink was flowing..... Great amount of choice for both too. Massive high 5 and huge appreciation to Dan, who was our server. Very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent customer service.

   I come here with my boyfriend for an amazing value bottomless brunch but I have also been here before with friends. We weighed up a few before deciding on this one and would recommend to anyone. Shaun was so attentive and friendly and me and my boyfriend really enjoyed the 2 hours brunch there. There was another guy who was helping bring out drinks (i think the manager) who i didn't see his name badge but he was also super nice. It's a lovely friendly bar in general so whether bottomless brunch or drinks with friends, it's definitely a place to come.
