The Tollgate Stonehouse in Coventry

Ah, The Tollgate Stonehouse – it's one of those places in Coventry that you pop into for a reliable meal and end up having a right good time. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the food's a real winner; those carvery roasts with succulent beef and gammon are spot on, and the stone-baked pizzas with fresh dough are just the thing for a satisfying bite. Pair that with attentive staff who go the extra mile – think helpful servers like Reece or Emily making sure everything's just right – and you've got a welcoming vibe that's perfect for catching up with mates or treating the family. The deals are a bonus too; affordable prices and perks like 50% off burgers or the rewards app mean you can enjoy without breaking the bank, and it's heartening to see them supporting local charities. On the flip side, it's a shame about the carvery sides – the frozen veg and yorkshire puds don't quite live up to the fresh meats, and that overcooked turkey can be a bit of a letdown. Plus, with breakfast only on weekends and the carvery wrapping up early, it might not fit every schedule. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back pub outing, as long as you keep expectations realistic and maybe skip the turkey!
