About This Pub
So, picture this: you're popping into The Wallace for a relaxed evening in Coventry, and right away, you're greeted with that warm, homely vibe they promise. The staff are genuinely chuffed to see you, and the food's a real winner – fresh ingredients, hearty portions, and those sizzling skillets are just the ticket for a satisfying meal without emptying your wallet. It's perfect for kicking back with friends over a pint, watching the match, or even hosting a birthday bash, as they've got options for big groups and even free space for community doings. On the brighter side, it's clear from the reviews that folks appreciate the value and the welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of high marks for the grub and service. But, let's be straight, it's not all smooth sailing – there have been times when the kitchen's running behind, leaving you twiddling your thumbs, or when sorting out a simple issue like a refund turns into more hassle than it should. Still, with an overall solid rating, it's worth a visit if you're after a traditional pub experience with a bit of extra spark, just maybe plan ahead to avoid peak times.
Pros and Cons

The food's spot on – think tasty sizzling skillets, burgers, and plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, all at really fair prices.

They're big on community spirit, supporting local charities and offering their function area for free, which is a nice touch for the neighbourhood.
Cons
-
There can be long waits for food sometimes, like one person mentioned waiting over an hour, which might spoil the evening.

Service isn't always perfect – we've heard of issues with things like getting refunds sorted, which can be a bit frustrating.

A few of the tables are on the small side, making it tricky if you're with a larger group trying to squeeze in.

Ordered food at 6.23pm and was told 45 minutes to an hour. 7.30 came, no food so we asked how long and was told 10-20 minutes. 8pm came and still nothing. We go and ask the manager for a refund, first response is no. We explain the above and get told "OK I'll tell the kitchen not to do it but I can't refund the drinks because you've had them" we say that's not good enough as we've spent almost £100 on the whole bill, the food hasn't been done, not a single staff member has come to us with updates and we have had to ask for each update. The manager said she had told the staff to offer us complimentary drinks and dessert. We tell her nobody has offered that so she finally agreed to refund the drinks as the "complimentary" drinks we should have been offered.
Had a nice evening celebrating my daughters birthday this week. They accomadated our large party at short notice. The manager and staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was good and not too long a wait considering there was 20 of us. Thanks guys.
A good-sized carpark. A nice-looking back garden with benches. Many tables in the bar and lounge, some round, and not really big enough for four people, some square. It is a good atmosphere, especially when football is on the tv. A very friendly bar staff who was all very helpful. The food was very tasty and fresh.
Great friendly staff always welcoming. Food was hot & delicious and a good price.
The pudding was particularly yummy.
Amazing food, very good value for money.
Carla and Kath gave outstanding customer service and made us very welcome.
It’s so lovely to receive such excellent customer service and we will definitely be visiting again soon.
