Unicorn in Coventry

Ah, the Unicorn – it's one of those pubs that feels like a proper local gem in Coventry, you know? I've got to say, what really stands out is how they nail the family-friendly angle; picture yourself in the beer garden with the kids tearing about in the play area, or inside catching the latest match with a cold pint in hand. The food's a winner too – think hearty dishes at prices that won't break the bank, especially with those weekday deals that let you feast for a tenner. And the staff? They're an absolute delight, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. But, let's keep it real, it's not all roses; the place is a bit off the beaten track, so you might need to plan your journey. Plus, I've heard a few tales of service slip-ups, like getting the wrong order or feeling a bit overlooked at the bar, which can take the shine off an otherwise lovely visit. The portions might leave you wanting more, and if you're aiming for an evening out with the family, that early soft play closure could cramp your style. All in all, it's a solid choice for a casual get-together or a bite after a long week, as long as you go in with realistic expectations – I'd pop by for the vibe and the value, but maybe keep an eye on the service.
