The Walsgrave Stonehouse in Coventry

Ah, The Walsgrave Stonehouse – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Coventry, you know? From what I've gathered chatting about it, the food really steals the show; their carvery is spot on with juicy beef and fresh veg that leaves you satisfied every time, and don't even get me started on those stone-baked pizzas – they're fresh, tasty, and at such good value with all those daily deals like half-price burgers. The team there are absolute stars too, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in, which is just what you want after a long day. It's super family-friendly with options for everyone, including veggies and vegans, and I love how they're involved in the community, supporting local charities and all. On the flip side, it's not perfect – sometimes you'll find yourself trekking to the bar for drinks, or there might be a shortage of certain sides like mash or gravy, and service can be a bit hit or miss if things get busy. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a relaxed meal or a catch-up with mates; I'd say give it a go, especially if you're after an affordable bite, but maybe keep expectations in check for the smoother bits.
