Bull & Anchor in Coventry

Ah, the Bull & Anchor – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Coventry, doesn't it? I've got to say, what stands out most is the food; it's genuinely tasty and well-prepared, with dishes like those mixed grills coming out hot and flavoursome, leaving you feeling chuffed without any fuss. Pair that with the staff, who are always cheerful and on point, making sure everything runs smoothly, and you've got a spot that's ideal for a casual catch-up or soaking in the excitement of live sports – think buzzing crowds during events like the Women's Euros, which adds a real sense of community. The prices are spot on too, with some cracking deals on drinks and meals that make it easy on the pocket for a night out. On the other hand, it's not without its downsides; if you're after more vegetarian choices, the menu might leave you wanting a bit more variety, and when it's heaving, that car park can turn into a bit of a scramble. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint or a bite with friends, as long as you go in with realistic expectations – it's got that warm, homely charm that makes you want to return, but with a few tweaks, it'd be even better.
