Reviews in Coventry

Lovely location, great staff and wonderful food. I’ve been eating here, on and off, for 35 years…never disappointed.

First time I have visited and would return. Waiting staff were great and informative. Portion sizes generous for the money. Piping hot freshly sourced food.

Excellent service, Very good vegetarian menu , Will be visiting again soon

The food was excellent. It’s nice to see a good selection on the veggie menu. The food was piping hot and tasted freshly cooked. Portion sizes were generous and meals were nicely presented. There was a roaring log fire and the place was very clean. The decor is a mix of traditional and modern . All the staff were incredibly polite and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. Two meals and drinks were just over £30 which was reasonable for the standard of the food and service. Would recommend for a really decent pub meal.

My husband and I went for the 1st time for Sunday lunch the food, service , value for money was absolutely amazing. This is now my most favorite place to visit since moving to the area a month ago.

We booked for new Years Day and were seated and served our drinks order quickly. They had an extensive menu including the Christmas menu @ £21.95, which two of us had, the others had the main menu. When our order came the portion sizes were huge and came with bowls of veggies. They removed the plates quickly and gave a good amount of time between courses. We waited no time atall when we ordered more drinks. We would definitely return and we have to say how good the staff were, showing a well managed team

The food here is amazing. Good home cooked food and generous portions. We have been popping in for years. And the food. We'll we have never had a bad meal here. And it is always go to when we want a better than average pub meal

The food is lovely what let's this place down is the slow service the staff are friendly enough but you can tell evidently that there is no experience we waited over an HR for them to clear away the table no one came to ask if everything was ok these little things could really elavate this pub

We went to the red lion Thursday 15th December and the food was lovely as always. However, the service was beyond poor! We arrived at 7pm our order was taken at 7.30 and at 8.20 the waitress came over to say she hadn't put our order through but they were making it now. At 9.15 we finally got our dinner and their apology at first was "you can have free desserts." Who wants to eat a dessert at nearly 10pm!! The manager did take money off the bill which was fine but when we went to pay the staff had forgotten us again, they were laying tables but it took almost another half an hour before we finally had enough and decided to pay on the way out. There was no apology and the slow service really wasn't okay. It's not the first time the service has been slow here and it does depend which staff members are working that day. You either have a lovely experience here or you simply get forgotten about and spend hours trying to get your food/drinks order or any communication or acknowledgment from staff.

I have been here a number of times and could not fault anything staff friendly and helpful , food was great

Had a great meal, lovely atmosphere and staff were very polite and helpful. Will definitely return.

Fantastic food as usual. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Always a pleasure to go.

Booked a meal for 7 people for a Wednesday evening. The pub was fairly quiet so didn’t wait long for drinks or food. The main meals were all of excellent standard, like home cooked. The only minor thing as the custard served with the apple crumble was not warm enough. Will definitely be back.

Food is always beautiful. Never had a bad meal here and I’ve been visiting for years. The decor is lovely and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. The staff are always smiling, polite and friendly. I would 100% recommended this beautiful country pub to anyone.

We went to the red lion Sunday 27th November. We had a lovely time, food was great, atmosphere was lovely, staff are brilliantly helpful, kind & all round great. Look forward to going back again soon.

Fantastic food and lovely table staff nothing too much trouble and friendly smiley faces

I dined at your restaurant in Coventry last Saturday 19th November. We were a party of six people. The food was very good (all 6 agreed on this) but there it ended. We coiuld not get any coffee as the machine was broken and the restaurant was very cold. The ladies in our group ended up eating with their coats on. Your non-alchohol policy did not help either. Most people enjoy a glass of wine with their food so that was very disappointing. Overall would not return .

This was my third visit in seven days and the second in two nights so that says something! I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful service, so friendly, courteous and efficient. The food for myself and my companion was first class, just as it was on my other visits. We are fortunate in having this excellent establishment in our locality. I have been using the Red Lion for many years and have never been disappointed.
