Bull & Butcher in Coventry

I have been to the bull and butcher many times over the years but my last visit was awful, i express serious concerns regarding the behaviour of a particular staff member (Tammy) during my recent visit to The Bull and Butcher. Unfortunately, I observed instances where this individual made sexually explicit comments, which were highly inappropriate and unprofessional in a public setting. Additionally, this staff member appeared to be intimidating or bullying younger members of the team, which was unsettling to witness. Such behavior not only detracts from the welcoming atmosphere of your establishment but may also create a hostile work environment for other employees. I am hopeful that management will look into this matter promptly and take appropriate actions to ensure a respectful and professional environment for both staff and customers.

ordered the home made pie, new potatoes and green beans. The new potatoes were raw and not cooked although apparently the kitchen staff insisted they were cooked!!! So I felt like they were calling me a liar and I felt very offended by that. Not being able to stick your fork in them was one give away Veg were also very al dente. Surely a chef should be able to get the most basic thing as cooking potatoes and veg right. They did replace the potatoes with herbie fries, and the pie was okay, but rather on the large side. However just pie and fried potatoes was not appetising, and I couldn't eat it. So a waste of £14.50. Wont go back i'm afraid

I gave the review 2 stars because the meal was nice. The service was absolutely horrendous. We waited over 15 minutes for drinks and 2 of them arrived in bottles with no glasses. I asked for glasses and ice and the girl l asked stopped and chatted to another server (who was wrapping up cutlery in napkins) before slowly getting the glasses and then forgetting ice and going back. I asked her what took so long and she laughed at me and said she had to reach and get glasses off the shelf. I couldn’t believe that servers were sitting around putting stuff in napkins when us and others needed serving. There was no salt and pepper on the table and we had to ask for ketchup. It’s a lovely place, but the kids running it tonight have no initiative whatsoever and don’t know how to treat guests. Very disappointing

Very disappointed with the breakfast. Ordered one large and one normal size. Large one was missing eggs and the normal had black pudding at a extra cost that wasn't ordered. Also we ordered two hash brown that arrived about 10min after we got are food. Tinned mushrooms on a large breakfast at £11 is absolutely wrong also. Can't wait for the cottage to reopen.

Nice place with a relaxed vibe and I was expecting great things! Ordered the double bacon and cheese burger it came out on a dry bun! No salad or sauce just meat and bread and it absolutely cremated and tasted vile! I tried to eat it but couldn't stomach it! Such a shame! If they invested in a few decent chefs this place would be great it has the potential! To burn a burger like that and send it is insane

Been a while since we been here but 6 of us went and got to say food was excellent I had carvery which was excellent other people had the carvery and steak and ale pie and chicken burger all excellent. Very friendly place drinks of good quality service from staff excellent though out meal brilliant pudding was excellent got to say definitely will be returning here

Not impressed with the food or the prices £14.50 for sausage and mash, mediocre sausage veg tasted of mint I prefer my sausage and mash to taste like sausage and mash not mint sauce, my wife had liver and bacon and also complained about the strange unappetizing taste of mint in her veg this meal I feel was overpriced too at £15.50 and liver was overcooked and hard needless to say we won't be arnold swarsenigger we won't be back

Lovely staff lovely food all over a great experience me and the family loved it the food was to die for and the person on the carvery was warm and inviting we felt all over satisfied with our experience will definitely come again.

The menu is quite extensive offering a range of types of food from pub grub to ethnic dishes. Prices are very good. Food came quite quickly and was all enjoyed. The faggots were 'real' - which is amazing these days. Happily made slight adjustments to suit our tastes. Decent space. Will happily return

Came for a celebration dinner with family the table was ready for us when we arrived and the service was fast and friendly. We ordered a variety of foods from the menu including vegan and gluten free which was easily accommodated. Food was fresh and delicious and we all had an amazing time we will definitely be returning soon.

Absolute chaos, Mothers day lunch..slots for dinning to short people queuing for their sitting in open pub. doorway.Service was very slow despite this and the carvery was cold

Had often driven past here and decided to go in for a drink. Never again!!! This is obviously a place filled with locals who looked at us as though we were aliens and the person who served us who we found out was the landlady was just rude and unfriendly.

Not been before but drive past often to go elsewhere so thought we'd give it a try as always looks busy. It's not the most relaxing place to eat, like a large cafe, people packed in and very cheap looking restaurant. The food was edible but could definitely tell it wasn't home made or quality ingredients. Must say though the staff were very pleasant. Popped outside to see the animals and was saddened to see the state the poor guinea pigs are living in. Dirty, damp,dark outdoor enclosure with very little straw/hay. Will carry onto the pub a little further down in future.

Went for Christmas dinner with my husband and kids. Starters were served to the table, and the main course was carvery. Was told by our waitress to go up for carvery food whenever we were ready, only to be chastised by a random person who we thought was another customer (turns out it was the landlady) when queuing for our food! Apparently it wasn’t our turn, and another table had a large party that all needed to eat at the same time as each other and then let the other table push in front of us. Even though we were told to go whenever we wanted! And apparently we were meant to be eating sorbet before getting our carvery! Don’t even like sorbet! Food was mediocre and hugely overpriced. After being told off, suddenly didn’t feel hungry anymore and the whole thing spoilt our Christmas dinner (it’s ok though - it happens once a year, so only another 366 days till next Christmas). Won’t be going back again, ever.

I have been here before for the festive menu and always had mixed thoughts about it , however today it was excellent the meal was piping hot , very tasty and great value for money . The only negative was it was cold in there . The waitress was so helpful and professional . Thank you so much for a lovely time today and will look forward to my next visit in the new year . Merry Christmas to you all .

We had a lovely meal,the food was really good and the service was excellent The table was ready when we arrivedand we were taken straight to it.

Having never visited this place, thought it would be great, unfortunately the place wasn't the best, staff didn't acknowledge us when we came in, chef doing the carvery looked like he'd come from the hood, food was ordered, 3 had the carvery, which wasn't a carvery as you don't help yourself, 2 had of the menu,which they had a good 5 minutes before our carvery came out, veg was mush, meat was ok, gravy was like dishwater, thin and watery,only thing that was good was the dessert, next time will be back to the Red lion around the corner..bull and Butcher needs a spruce up, maybe a uniform for the staff, instead of staff having the t**ts out..wouldn't recommend to my family or friends.

If I'm honest I'm struggling to find anything to moan about, being really picky, I had a mixed ploughman's, which was superb, but it was on the verge of eating dry, needed tomato and more cucumber in the salad and two little pots of pickle and coleslaw wasn't really enough for the dish. The pub itself is lovely, set in a small village near Coventry, restaurant is spacious and could accommodate our party of 8 with ease. Staff are really friendly and polite and will try to help out whenever they can, food is excellent, you have a varied choice of meals and sizes, fish n chips, lasagne, chilli, salads etc large or small which is great if you have someone who isn't that hungry. Out of 8 plates there was just a few chips returned. There was a fair selection of deserts to choose from but alas no cheese and biscuits (to be fair the chap taking the orders he did ask but they had no biscuits). They had a good selection of beers and lagers to choose from so I had another pint. Overall it was a very enjoyable night out with the family, and we shall definitely be returning for another meal.

We visited to celebrate our cousin's recovery from cancer. We usually have good meals here, but last night was the exception. Three orders arrived with mushy peas when garden peas were ordered, one dish arrived with chips when new potatoes were ordered. My sister ordered lasagne which was basically overcooked stodgy pasta sheets with cheese on top and bechemel sauce between the layers- no bolognaise sauce at all- and microwaved melted cheese on top. She could not eat it and sent it back. A replacement meal was offered but she declined the offer. My fillet steak was beautifully cooked,but the chips, mushrooms and tomatoes were cold and it took four requests for the pepper sauce to arrive. Two guests had the minted lamb pie and were very pleased with their choices. The puddings however were excellent and generous. We've been eating here for well over twenty years- last night we were so very disappointed. We do plan to try the Bull and Butcher again ; hopefully this is a one off departure from their usual good food.

Amazing staff, polite and willing to help with anything. Amazing food, huge portion sizes. Amazing atmosphere. Overall a beautiful pub that caters for every family member, esp the kids. X well done guys and thank you X

We found a table in the snug, as we had a dog with us. We decided on a mixed ploughman's of meat & cheese and a meat ploughmans. When they arrived, I had to go hunting for cutlery and then butter. Both were very nice, perhaps a larger piece of baguette. We ordered desserts, again very nice. The thing that put us off were the unwelcoming locals, we found their language and attitudes towards women unpalatable and rude.

Terrible from start to finish in a very old and run down pub. Had to clear my own table to sit down. The staff and management were very uninterested and dressed very scruffy which is never a good sign. Food came out quick and was...

Delicious Sunday roast in great surroundings with young friendly staff. Think the chocolate and orange cake is the best I’ve tasted. Thank you.

Mother day train wreck. Food nice, staff shocking. Seated late. Rushed to eat due to the other people over staying. An 1 hour half is tight without sitting down late and then being rushed. Avoid booking on main occasion you may be left disappointed. Avoid...

This pub is happy to takes booking for family special occasions and then cancels because they get a bigger booking letting us down and disappointed. Definitely not the friendly pub we were lead to believe!

We went for Christmas day lunch, and whilst what we got was edible and warm it was basically a three course Sunday Lunch with a bit of sorbet thrown in, and lacked a touch of something special" for Christmas day. At £75.00 per person I...

Came across this pub purely by accident on the way to Hoar Park so decided to pop in on the return journey. Very pleasant staff and a good assortment of real ales that were well kept. We thought we should try the food so ordered...

Had Sunday Lunch yesterday , the food was Ok but could have been hotter and gravy thicker BUT the teenage serving staff leave a lot to be desired and should be encouraged to wear clothing more suited to waiting tables than meeting their mates. Sadly...

Ordered 1 roast dinner and 2 vegetarian roast meals and stated that we did not want gravy on the vegetarian meals. When the meals arrived, they had gravy on them so I said that we had said no gravy. The response was, 'that wasn't on...

I could have cooked something better from Iceland. Bad attitude from certain members of bar staff and poor service from waitresses are just above legal age to serve . Stupidly went back in the evening for one drink (had to as was meeting another friend...

We went to this place as I remembered it to be friendly and efficient, offering a wide food selection of good quality and a nice location with good service and a great atmosphere. Sadly, the above are now confined to memories. The staff were mostly...

Went with my family for the Burns Night where they had a special menu at a very reasonable price. The food was excellent and well presented by friendly staff, a pleasant surprise was a wee dram of whisky to toast the haggis. A lovely evening...

Food is very good honestly but service hit and miss. We used to visit regularly on Sundays for the self-serve carvery until they changed it to bringing it over. Other restaurants with a carvery have returned to self-serve (with shields, santiser etc in place) so...

Just been for a lunch with a work college. Was very polite throughout the entire sitting. We very much enjoyed the food. However after enjoying our food, we left the table for a quick cigarette. As we left the table, we was ran down and...

Looks fabulous from the outside until you are 'greeted' by the staff who need some training in how to make people welcome. Very abrupt off hand server from the two we encountered. One who was behind the bar with all the friendliness of a bulldog...

Lovely Christmas Lunch, everything was served well, and hot. Brilliant value for money. Will be going again soon

There was a ridiculous amount of people at the bonfire night. Its was dangerous. Everyone was crammed in. Hour lines just to get a drink. We normally really enjoy bonfire night here, but we will not be coming again. Not even enough toilets for how...

We booked a table for 6 adults and 2 children. We got shown our table and discovered that there were only 6 chairs. Nobody fetched the other chairs it was left for me to do. Then we waited for menu's then drinks then ordering forever....

Used to eat here a lot, however my partner and myself visited on Sunday 8th August. When we eventually were allowed onto our pre-booked table we ordered drinks. These came quickly but were almost slammed onto the table by a surly young waitress and she...

My cousin and I spent a very enjoyable two hours at this lovely, picturesque pub sitting in the garden surrounded by beautiful flower displays. The arrangement for ordering the drinks and meal was. easy and the drinks came very soon after ordering. .Both our meals...

For £18 I thought the sirloin steak was going to be a winner. It was on par with a cheap supermarket steak. In fact I’ve had better cheap supermarket steak. Massively overpriced. Vine tomatoes was half a normal tomato and no rocket. On the plus...

We have found this restaurant by accident and have had 3 lovely visits - one just for coffees in the garden before we were allowed inside with the restrictions. There is a good play area for he children in the garden. We have since eaten...

Ordered the baguettes, understand limited menu choices but the baguettes were awful...oven warmed baguettes and frozen chicken pieces you can buy from Iceland, watery, 6.95 with chips..I'm sure could have done so much better!!...won't be returning in the future..this place had a good reputation for...

We called into the Bull & Butcher on a Wim whilst passing through , we were pleasantly greeted and track & trace implemented , all staff had masks , we were escorted to our social distanced table and seated. Service was very efficient and the...

We've eaten here several times and tonight was the best we've had for a long time. They have new chefs and the standard of food and presentation has definitely improved ! :)

First place we popped in for food since locked down on the 25/07/2020. Late writing the review. Great pub and atmosphere. We ordered the burgers and were great.Do recommend the food here. The atmosphere is really good, staff are extremely polite and will visit again.

I’ve been coming here on and off for about 35 years and I have to say that this is by far the worst experience I’ve had. We ordered drinks and food promptly but had to wait 15 minutes for drinks and had to ask for...

Food is tasty and plentiful, at a bargain of a price too. Service is warm and friendly. The entire experience is a delight.

Landlady thinks she’s god ,place is s...hole , food s...t . Locals same , beer same , Hope you don’t reopen at all

Fireworks AGAIN!!!! Horses and owners are not happy. You are a countryside pub, have some thought and respect for your locals and the animals in YOUR area. Complaining to council. Had enough. :(

Yet again late night fireworks. Do these people not understand that fireworks and animals dont mix. They are surrounded by stables and these idiots are having fireworks at 11pm! Following there last event , fireworks at 12 and music banging out till 2. I had...

The bar rooms both have log fires in a really untarted characterful village pub which is clearly appreciated by the local clientelle. Log fires in grates my grandparents would recognise really cheer a winter evening. The restaurant is smarter and more modern I suppose but...

A friends birthday of about 36 people, most of whom chose Christmas Fayre. Excellent food, served hot, efficient service and, I understand, a very fair price. Set in good surroundings. Couldn't be beaten!

This place is great, dogs are allowed in snug/bar. Food is excellent, staff were attentive. Roaring fire on a colder day did it for me could have happily stayed there all day. Not over expensive all round. Value for money was good.

Went for nephews bday meal and food came out at different times spaced between 30 minutes, when my own meal came out it was wrong. My wife was served her eggs sausage and chips on a small plate and when the young waiter came over...

We’ve been here a couple of times as it’s a lovely country pub. On entering the building you can smell the smoke from the open fires and are welcomed by a sense of cosy-ness. The restaurant was remarkably empty considering the fullness of the car...

Been here many times, but never had the Sunday carvery. At £6.95 it was excellent value. Choice of three meats although at 4.30pm there were only two, beef and Turkey. Good selection of vegetables including cauliflower cheese. Will definitely do this again, but will go...

Pre-booked restaurant but ended up in a corner of the bar. Table wasn't able to accommodate the seven people booked for and the waitress was unfriendly and actually rude. At her age she should have been able to be professional, so rather than cause a...

I am disappointed to write this review as I have visited the Bull & Butcher many times for a lot of years now and this is the first time I have felt the need to write a negative review. My Father and I went for...

After reading recent reviews of The Bull and Butcher we decided to give it a go and make our own judgements! We arrived at 12.20 after booking a table and the restaurant was pretty quiet with few diners already eating. We were shown to our...

Last night i went for a meal with a friend. I ordered the hunters chicken when they served our meals they brought out a side of mushrooms which i did not order and placed to one side. A couple of minutes later the waitress asked...

Open for food 7 days serving good wholesome unsophisticated food. Eat there about once a month and never come away disappointed. I particularly like their homemade pies

There is nothing to say about this pub and meals, 3-4 years ago this had 0 on the food hygene scale, and in August 2019 it has not change. Food awful, staff, rude and unhelpfull, decore, needs a complete redecoration . Will never ever go...

What a great Sunday dinner . Choice of 3 meats and vegetables and roasts potatoes and proper gravy . Huge Yorkshire’s and just really good wholesome food . Definitely a great place to eat with outdoor play area for the children .

Nice pub, lovely seeing the Donkeys and the Shetland Ponies.. Beautiful flowers, Pub really looked after. Food OK.. The one thing was that we were made to feel we should be grateful to be their. Bar staff made us feel very uncomfortable. The drinking glasses...

My fiancé and I recently got engaged on holiday and wanted a nice meal with a few family members to celebrate. I have to say I really don't understand all the bad reviews on here, we had a lovely time. Meals were lovely and came...

Just to counter other peoples negative comments. This village pub has a large garden with children's activities, the building and it's interior is old and some would prefer that it was modernised, but it suited us well. They were very busy on a Saturday evening...

Fresh joint of beef served as you can see full of arteries. Absolutely awful. Waitress full of tattoos horrible .

Myself and boyfriend and 19 month old son visited today, as the weather was lovely! My son played in their play area for a couple of hours, then we came inside and ordered food for the three of us! My son was upset he had...

We visited for a light pub lunch, as we have done before, and were not disappointed. The welcome was kind and service was friendly and reasonably fast. Our sandwiches, whilst simple were fresh and tasty, the accompanying tortilla chips providing a pleasant crunch. Prices are...

I would like to start by saying i do not normally leave reviews good or bad but this was a exception! My self and my family have just had the worst meal ever. It started well on the phone with a nice polite lady called...

All the food we ordered off the menu was cheap quality and poorly presented. The worst chicken burger I've ever seen. Very cheap quality reconstituted chicken in breadcrumbs. Very disappointing. Most of us opted for the carvery which was average. The veggies were overcooked/mushy and...
