English Restaurant · Coventry
Worth knowing about if you're anywhere near Coombe Abbey — it's a country pub with a mildly farmhouse feel inside, rustic barrels, proper pub carpet and a quirky glass-topped well, and there's free parking so you're not circling with a car full of tired children. Buggy access is fine, high chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the staff check back on tables often, which helps when someone's getting restless. The steak and the gammon get real praise, the beer-battered fish and the lasagne go down well, and there are vegan options plus outdoor seating for a sunny lunch. It's honest pub grub rather than anything fancy, but the two-for-one mains make it genuinely cheap for a family. Do book — one family found every table full by half seven on a Tuesday.
