About This Pub
Ah, The Vale – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Coventry, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks really rave about the warm welcome and the cracking food on offer; think delicious pub classics like fish and chips or a juicy burger, all at prices that won't dent your wallet, especially with those cheeky deals like 30% off mains. The staff come across as genuinely attentive and friendly, which makes popping in for a pint or a meal feel effortless and enjoyable. Plus, with a lovely beer garden for sunny days and it being dog-friendly, it's spot on for casual meet-ups or family outings. On the flip side, though, it's not all perfect – a few mentions of service being a bit off at times, like slower responses or the odd issue with drinks machines, might mean you have to be patient on busier days. Overall, it's got that community spirit going for it, with high marks from most visitors for being clean, affordable, and just a nice place to unwind, so I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area and fancy a solid, no-fuss pub experience.

Good pub with great staff and nice food and drink offers.
Vibrant community pub
Didn't plan to use this pub, but it was closest to a Local café which was closed.
Quiet and nice surroundings, food was good but service could have been a lot better.
It was unfortunate that the soft drinks pump had stopped working & the only coffees available were out of packets.
Will put service down to basic cover for a Monday & the drinks pump not working.
Would visit again, surroundings were pleasant and lounge is light & airy.

Can't wait to come back and try something else from the menu 😋 I wish I could eat that sandwich all over again 😂😂 haven't enjoyed food like that in a while
The Vale is a friendly public house in the Mount Nod area of Coventry. You can get nice eats and drinks there. The car park area is large and spacious and it is free.
Some seventy years ago the Mount Nod estate, with all of the houses, bungalows and blocks of flats was non-existent. It was Mount Nod farm, which was beautiful hilly farmland leading down into a valley with a stream that connects to the River Sherbourne running through Coventry. There's an interesting old map of the area tucked behind a large clock on the wall inside The Vale. It's a nice pub, which is well worth a visit. Eats and drinks are varied and good and the staff are friendly and welcoming.
