Bar pub in Coventry

“Great pub, great Guinness and great car wash!”

“We had a really lovely afternoon at the Leif Tea Rooms. We had afternoon tea which was scrumptious. There was a great choice of fillings for the sandwiches which were amazing, plenty of filling! The scones were a delight and the cakes of lemon drizzle, chocolate fudge and victoria sponge were delicious. Very generous portion of everything, couldn't eat it all. But the wonderful staff supplied boxes to take away. We had prosseco which made it more special and were seated by the christmas tree on comfy sofas and chairs. It made our family catch up a special occasion and we would like to say thank you to all the staff who were so nice. Will definitely return, we had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon! Definitely recommended.”

“Had a lovely impromptu stop over and the location off this hotel was ideal located near the motorway but with easy access to the trains into Birmingham centre via the NEC station. Hotel was great and excellent value. The spa had some maintenance issues but going down early morning meant was had it to ourselves. Would definitely stop here again if going to either the NEC or Birmingham.”

“I go there with a good friend and I am amazed at the size of the establishment and how accommodating and open to people of different social groups. I have a hesitancy about certain .....clubs.... born in 60s teen in the 70s still al those fears disappeared especially when the owners/management ??? are seen around the community and have made me and others feel welcome. However early days yet, but so far √√√√√√”

“We called in twice on a canal boat holiday and were impressed both times - an affable and responsive landlord, immaculately kept beer (St Austell Tribute and TT Landlord) and a good "cook's" menu which gave us burgers, steak, pies or fish and chips when we ate. Dog friendly and right on the canal if gongoozling is your thing! Would unhesitantingly recommend.”

“We went here for pancake day & after initially being a little worried we loved it. When we walked in it was a little tatty, a window was missing, patches in ceiling, and a few dirty plates left out on empty tables. We were a little worried that we weren’t going to enjoy ourselves. But our server showed us to the table and the rest of the resultant and bar was beautifully decorated. We had really really amazing service from our server, considering she seemed to be the only person serving everyone at the time. We ordered 3 lots of pancakes and a chip butty. All of the food was absolutely amazing. We were stuffed! The plate of chips was huge, and the bread lovely! The pancakes were SO soft and fluffy, and such good value for money! There was so much food! The Cath Kidston glasses and mugs were so cute too! The kids really enjoyed the decor and we all had a good laugh at the private toilet party. On the way out I spotted a sign about refreshing some areas so I guess that explains the slightly tired looking entrance. Honestly we had a lovely time and can’t wait to come back. Probably the best pancakes we’ve ever had and the server was just so friendly, she’s a real credit to the place!”

“It was a delightful visit with my partner. We were looked after well, everyone was really smiley and chatty with us. We had a great time during our meal. Great value for the money. We will definetely visit again.”

“I stopped in here for a quick lunch. The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is chilled. I could easily imagine sitting here with a cocktail for the evening.”

“After visiting the one in Birmingham, we were hoping that the service was on par. The Sabai in Leamington delivered, we finished watching a comedy show at the royal spa centre and wanted to grab a bit right after. The location of the restaurant is convenient, there is ample parking nearby which is approximately a 5-10 minute walk especially later in the evening. Toilets taken care of were immaculate. Upon entering we had a warm welcome and were seated immediately as the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. We ordered a Thai green and a musaman curry with some egg fried rice. Both the main dishes had a great flavour and I would definitely recommend going again.”

“Lovely pub, great place to stop on a walk with the dog. Gluten free options, reasonable prices, and a good selection of food. Staff are always nice and helpful. Please do fries instead of chunky chips!”

“I arranged the works Christmas Party here with the marque out the back for 62 people. From start to finish Rohan was brilliant, answered any questions around dietary requirements etc i had quickly and amended the booking on numerous occasions due to people dropping out last min. The marque was set up lovely, the food was great and everyone commented on how big the portions were, nobody went home hungry! A big shout out to all the staff and Rohan they were all really attentive throughout the evening and couldn't fault anyone. Would highly recommend anyone having there Christmas party here!”

“Great local pub. Busy early evening, nice food, good atmosphere. Real fire in the winter. Sunday roasts have mostly been excellent. Very dog friendly so he's happy.”

“Can't rate there as I didn't have any, but the atmosphere and drinks were great, thank you 5 stars from me⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We came for Sunday lunch yesterday and was hugely impressed. The quality and taste was fantastic. What I also liked was the fact you didn't have to pay for extras, it was one set price. Will definitely be coming back. We had the lamb and there was plenty of it :-)”

“We visited The Barn one afternoon and had such a lovely experience. I ordered the fillet steak, which was perfectly cooked — tender, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. My partner chose the rolled pork belly, which was crispy on the outside, soft and juicy inside, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and since it wasn’t too busy, we could really relax and enjoy our meal. The views from the restaurant are beautiful — a perfect backdrop for an afternoon meal. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a stunning setting. We’ll definitely be visiting again!”

“I went for a team lunch with work, around opening time mid-week. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was varied and all delicious! I enjoyed the BBQ Chicken Burger with chips and coleslaw, and there were lots of lunch offers, such as 2 for £18. Also, some nice decor and lots of parking on site. I'll definitely be going back soon!”

“Birthday celebration dinner. Amazing pub. Loved the ambiance, busy with a friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious with great menu choice. I had sea bass, cooked to perfection with lots of veg and hasselback potatoes. Everyone enjoyed their choices. Prawn cocktail was really good. Portion sizes just right. Only one of us disappointed, no steak and ale pie. Service was excellent. All food reasonably priced. We'll definitely visit again. Would strongly recommend going here.”

“For the greater area of Coventry probably the only better restaurant although a bit high on price but reasonable enough. Very friendly staff”

“Great food, massive portions and fab service! Even a beautiful gluten free brownie for desert!”

“Visited on a Sunday eve about 5.30 and were politely told kitchen closed at 6. We were given the Sunday menu but asked if it were possible to have something off the weekday menu; they were so helpful. Nothing was a problem and all our food was delightful; outstanding really. Up there with the best pub food we’ve had. Way better than soulless pub chain food that is everywhere these days.”

“Delighted to go the Old Mill for lunch with friends. The welcome was as always warm and friendly. Our waitress was Lois who attended to us so well being friendly and very helpful. She paid do much attention to us and always had a smile on her face. The meal was as usual delicious and well presented. I love the Old Mill for its great menu and friendly atmosphere. Thank you Lois for your help and hospitality”

“We went for two sharing platters between 5 people and a couple of side dishes, there was so much food! Everything very tasty. Drinks menu is great here including plenty of great options for those not drinking alcohol. Services on our visit was a little slow compared to the other restaurants I've visited, they might have been short on staff that night. Couldn't fault anything else.”

“As a low carb vegetarian with a gluten intolerance, it’s fabulous to find a restaurant flexible and obliging enough to adjust their offerings to my atypical needs. Whilst hubby tucked in to his ribs with fries, my halloumi was served minus the rice or fries, but with a lovely range of (extra veg). It was so good that I asked if the halloumi I couldn’t manage could be boxed and the very friendly and obliging staff did just that. It’s so refreshing to find this level of service. My only critique is that the decor could be smartened up a little, but that did not detract from our experience.”

“A lovely old Coventry public house. Many famous people have drank here, and it is due to reopen 28th February 2025 with new management. I can remember coming here as a child with my grandad, and it's not changed much in 40 years.”

“Recently hired out this Beautiful old pub for our wedding reception. The food was amazing with a ni e choice of beers, wines and non alcoholic beer on draught. We cant thank Dav and his team enough who went above and beyond, blessed to have it as one of our local pubs.”

“great atmosphere, went there on Monday for 2 for 1 pizza. the server niamh was very polite and familiar with the menu which helped”

“Great place to be for sport and drinks with friends, amazing atmosphere. Great offers on spirits and bottles.”

“Went here for my 50th birthday with my wife and two girls. Staff were wonderful and the food was great. Only dropped one star off the atmosphere as the restaurant was boiling in the unusually hot temperatures, I know it's not normal temps but a few fans may have helped.”

“Gluten free!!! Very nice and clean place. This restaurant has its own cool atmosphere. I made order online to collect and eat at home, because I was in rush. I arrived too early, however staff allowed me to seat comfortable and wait for my order. I wish to give 5 stars, but unfortunately I get my Passion Fruit Semifreddo without Passion Fruit topping :( (due to bigger order I didn't check at restaurant, realised at home)”

“Finally found a decent pub in Leamington/Warwick. The Guinness is great. Staff are friendly and the food is good value for the quality. Roast (which they’ve just started doing) was brilliant, kudos. Gem of a pub.”
