The Cottage in Coventry

We booked a table for 3 on a Saturday evening for a meal before the theatre. The booking system was all online and very easy with text confirmation. When we arrived 2/3 of the pub was set aside for a private function which left us a table in a very small area with 3 or 4 other tables a large screen TV with football on an a lot of people crammed into a very small area. The food was excellent, but be warned the starters are big. 3 starters for £16.00 we had an olives/humus with flat bread and 2 types of wings and 3 pizzas, ranging from £11 to £15 each. However, the pizzas came before the starters, the starters followed shortly and we had all our food in one go on a very small table, when I questioned this with our server he simply shrugged and said the chef cooked it all at the same time. Not an ideal situation at all, but the food was excellent, though 3 pizzas and 3 starters is too much for 3 people.

Great place to socialise and good food. Came for a 21st Birthday and the staff made us very welcome. Thank you

Had a party here a couple weeks ago and had a great night. Massive thanks to Heather and her team will 100% be back for my next birthday.

Great place for a quiet lunch at a reasonable price. Really nice food, friendly staff.

Great local with nice food and lovely staff. Celebrated the 1 year anniversary of our business here and the service was exceptional. The staff were brilliant at accommodating our needs. Highly recommend. Daniel was particularly great ☺️

Fantastic wedding reception. Heather and the staff were brilliant. Recommend to everyone.

Fui aquí para una fiesta de cumpleaños en la calle 21. El personal era muy amable y tenía un gran ambiente. La comida también estaba allí. Gracias.

Had a great night with the Mrs, nice place, very clean tasty food and excellent service- Charley was great in particular 🙂

Had a great evening with my family, Charlie (I think) was an amazing server. Great personality, great laugh! Pizza is good quality and atmosphere is nice. Looking forward to my next visit!

Always a lovely vibe here... Staff always friendly and helpful

Amazingly friendly staff, great food (2-4-1 pizza on Monday!!) and some lovely beers on tap too! Would highly recommend

A good ’local’ pub. Cosy seating with comfy settees and chairs

Me prometí a mí mismo que iría a la cabaña después de haberla pasado tantas veces. Decidíamos que iríamos por un almuerzo tarde y bebidas. El pub se veía precioso por dentro con un bonito jardín de cerveza y asientos en la parte delantera también. Había dos empleados del bar, ambos sirviendo cuando llegamos. Otra persona vino al bar después de nosotros. Esta señora fue servida antes que nosotros, y siendo la única persona que quedaba en el bar, los dos empleados dieron la espalda y tuvieron una charla. Por lo tanto, no puedo comentar sobre la comida o bebida cuando salimos, y como dicen en Coventry... .. habrá dos lunas en el cielo y una sobre el patio trasero antes de que vuelva a ir a este “establecimiento”. Fuimos a otro pub local y tuvimos una gran comida con personal atento.

The prices are consistent...with central London...one of the really pricey places mind, nothing cheap. I think the prices here are unacceptable. Updated. For comparison, a glass of wine and a pint of lager on Sunday was £16.30. Appalling. Went down to the club, same round, £8.60. I know where we will be using. The few mouthfuls of wine in that glass in the photo was £8. Disgusting. The pint of ale was £4.80, which is fine, and it is a very nice pint, too.

Pleasant, clean and quiet environment

Called in for a drink and were the only ones in there so not much atmosphere. Nicely turned out pub though with a variety of thinks t do and eat on different evenings. Need to paint over the water damage to the ceilings.

Had a lovely evening. Just cam for drinjs but decided to have a waffle too which was absolutely delicious. Staff were lovely.... Will be coming again.

Brilliant quiz night - well worth a visit

Beer is good quality. Nice staff. Pizza is damn good.

Frendly staff helpful and food very nice

Had received good reviews about the cottage and it's food so decided to give it a go. Disappointing. The menu is predominantly pizzas which is great, (my go to choice at mo) and the options sounded good with 4 vegan options. Opted for the special "hombre" pizza but special it was deffo not . The base was dry, and the toppings mean. I had to get the magnifying glass out to spot the brisket beef on mine and it was meant to have guacamole on it which was totally missing. When we enquired about it, we were given a tiny sauce sized pot - (between 2 as myself and hubby had had the same pizza) of what can only be described as highly processed squeezy guac. Considering where the cottage is with the number of food establishments available, 2 of which (millseys and surf and slice) offer really good pizzas, at very similar prices, I'm surprised it was a busy as it was, can only conclude it was because of the upcoming quiz because it can't be the pizzas. Service was good though, and has large garden area. But that won't be enough to get us coming back anytime soon or recommending it. 😔

Average and I’m being generous! We were really looking forward to eating here after the pizzas had been recommended however I’ve had better that I’ve bunged in the oven at home! Overpriced, stodgy, not cooked in a pizza oven and so disappointing! Wish I’d waited to get one from the Coop on the way home! Don’t be scared to use herbs and seasoning!

The person who served us was very friendly and smiley.That made our day ! I definitely recommend this place !!!!!

Another fabulous night at The Cottage, having fun at the weekly quiz. Lovely local pub, wonderful happy atmosphere and the best staff. Always made to feel welcome and part of the ‘family’. Such a great pub - thank you

Came for the quiz night, such a buzz well dofo be coming back soon

Came for the quiz tonight for first time in a while. After being to other quiz nights elsewhere , must say we all enjoyed the whole evening , it wasn’t too long or ‘fussy’ even my father in law loved and got very involved and competitive . Really nice, friendly, chilled atmosphere and is nice to see a local pub and staff trying to just keep things simple and and fun. Will definitely be back soon!!

First if all, best wishes to Jack for a speedy recovery, and hope to see you and Heather back soon. In the meantime, Robyn is doing a great job behind the bar. The level of bar service here is second to none.

Overpriced Tacos were average at best. Distinctly average for the price Also really Poor service. 2 women behind the bar, seemed like they’d be better of working in a chip shop. Uninterested.

Great pizza on Monday nights especially on offer. Love it!!

I came here for Mothers Day and the food was absolutely amazing, there was a big table of us and not one of us had a bad meal. Yes, it was very expensive but the food was worth it. I'll definitely be back.

I was part of a large table (15 people) that had reserved three weeks prior for a 1pm seating. Table was clean when we got there and ready. Myself and my friends all ordered roughly at the same time but on different cheques. It is also my understanding at this moment that another table of similar size came in too. Most of us ordered the roast with 2 people ordering a collection of starters. I understand that meals can come out at different times but this was bad. After 9 of us had had our food and finished we reminded them we were still waiting for more dishes, 2 people on the same order had one of their meals brought out but not the other. The people who had starters ordered as their mains and the people opposite them didn’t have theirs bought out for another 20mins. People who had ordered extra cauliflower cheese were later told that they didn’t have any so were offered a refund. Once we’d all got our food and eaten, then came trouble with desserts. Two of our table are Gluten intolerant and I’d asked which desserts was GF. They advised the chocolate fudge cake. Then we were advised this was wrong and the sticky toffee pudding was. So we got to ordering. Shortly after ordering we were told there was no fudge cake or sticky toffee. So this meant the people who had their cauliflower cheese cancelled had their dessert cancelled too. Thankfully though (I suppose) the staff reallocated a sticky toffee from another table to ours. It was just a wholly disappointing experience. It was £37 for two dinners and a cauliflower cheese. This was for 1 or 2 slices of beef, with a small Yorkshire, a couple of small roasties, a stem of broccoli and half a carrot and watery gravy. Tasteless. It’s just a shame that at 1pm there was a shortage of so much food, after working in the hospitality sector, this is something I’d come to expect at 5pm on a Sunday, not at lunch time. If this was going to be an issue, maybe we should’ve been advised to provide a preorder, which was totally doable. It’s also disappointing that we were recommended to come here by friends. To be honest, I won’t be doing the same. Sorry.

Visited for a birthday gathering on a Saturday. Never been before so didn't know what to expect, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, mainly pizza on the menu, tasty. However, I nearly fell backwards when ordering 2 large glasses of wine. The price of which is more expensive than London!! £21!!!!!! Yes, £21!!!!! I appreciate it was a Saturday night but nothing can justify that price, especially outside the capital! Other than that, it's a nice place

Yet again another fabulous Sunday lunch. It’s such a relief to find a local pub that serves fresh food and always great service and consistently. Thankfully we had booked a table as was busy. However nothing was too much trouble, even our dog was well looked after!! Thank you

What a hidden gem - best Sunday roast and vegan Sunday roast by a country mile. The food was so good I went back 2 days later for dinner

Delicious Sunday roast. Good portion size. Sticky Toffee Pudding also very tasty. Staff friendly, professional and helpful. Will definitely be returning.

I went with my friend and we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We shared the rancher pizza and Thai masamman curry and both items were really delicious. The ambiance was really relaxed but busy at the same time. Loved it ❤️❤️

Always our first choice for eating out for any occasion, great food, great people, great dogs

Pizzas are really good. The menu is a bit limited but they do what they do well. Salads are very nice. It’s a shame more people don’t support these locals anymore. This place was once heaving.

Had our belated staff Christmas party here, Jack and the team were fantastic hosts and made the night special. Great food, drinks and service throughout, I would highly recommend!

Staff very friendly and pleasant, good choice of drinks, nicely done out, worth a visit.

Nice cosy place! I have been there a couple of times. Sometimes there is also live singer on guitar.

A very warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was quiet when we arrived at 6.30 but quickly filled up by 7.00. This was a Thursday and quiz night and full so I would recommend booking. It was noisy with the conversation of happy customers but not too 'lively' and music was very much in the background. The two young women who took our order were very accommodating and reseated us at a lower table instead of the high stools that had originally been assigned to us. They seemed a little inexperienced and had trouble pulling a pint and had to look up the recipe for the mocktail we ordered. But they persevered and we got two excellent pints and the rest of our drinks. Starters came out promptly but our pizzas were a bit slow coming out but it was very busy. The food was excellent. We had a sharing dish of chicken wings in Korean gochujang sauce, which were delicious. The pizzas were equally as good with imaginative toppings. Our only regret was ordering three of the same so we couldn't pick and mix. It was good value for money as well: drinks, starters and mains four four people for a little over £80 The pub has a wide selection of food and drink to suit all tastes: cocktails and mocktails, real ales; with plenty of vegan, vegetarian options as well. Definitely not your run of the mill pub grub. We will definitely be eating there again.

This pub has a London feel about it, which I love. Brilliant service, good selection of drinks, although food options are limited..but as Alan Price would say..'Who Cares' ?..

Great Sunday roast, friendly and efficient staff, excellent beer. What's not to like? - support your amazing local independents!

Amazing food and good variety, amazing service food came really quick, will 100% be going back again.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, great food and cocktails. Would recommend for a good night out. Sunday dinner is lovely too.

Absolutely fab place to eat staff are so friendly quiz night was a blast great host! And great pizzas

Visited the cottage today for Sunday lunch, food was amazing as usual, great service from Heather and the lovely Sarah. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Nice pub, with a familues/local vibe but everyone welcome. Shows the football / sports but big space on the opposite side if that's not your thing. Big outside space and they do really nice pizza

Pub, a few local ales to choose from. It's okay.

Came for a sunday roast as it came up as one of the best places for a carvery in coventry when googled. The portion was tiny, im quite a slow eater but i polished mine off within 5mins. I walked out still being hungry. Only 2 meats available on menu. Wouldnt come back again. Food wasnt bad, but not enough,. Wouldnt even say it was quality over quantity, as u would get at some top restaurants.

I have been trying to find somewhere to enjoy Sunday Lunch with my husband as he is quite fussy about his portions and roast dinners! Well, we weren't disappointed. Not only is the pub extremely welcoming, but there is really warm atmosphere to the place. The bar staff were really friendly and even recommended some good red wines! We both had a piping hot Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. It clearly has the edge for hospitality and the home-made Yorkshire puddings were amazing. We will definitely be returning. The service was second to none. Keep doing what you're doing. Thank you for a lovely Sunday roast.

We visit the Cottage on a regular basis as it’s the best pub in the Earlsdon area by far. Welcoming and friendly staff; large interior and outdoor spaces (always a great atmosphere); board games for the kids; weekly quiz is always great fun; freshly made pizzas are lovely. Can highly recommend.

Came here on a Thursday night for the quiz night. So busy, great atmosphere. Plenty of bar staff, great quiz… And a delicious pizza. Would highly recommend.

This is a great venue - we enjoy the quiz on a Thursday with Sarah the compère who is so upbeat & fun. We have all enjoyed delicious pizzas & excellent real ale - the bar staff are super friendly - especially David.

Just wanted to say what a fabulous, friendly pub this has become. We live locally and have been a few times but most recently for the quiz on a Thursday night. It really is just a good, fun night out with a great crowd. Food is always delicious and served quickly and all the staff are friendly, even the chefs!! We were also delighted to be told that their Sunday Roasts are back. About time 😊

Great pub, very welcoming and dog friendly. Has a great beer garden too. We had pizza which was super tasty. Awesome garlic bread too. No car park but can park on the road at the weekends

Came here for the 1st time, by friends who'd been before, for the lunchtime menu and the pizza was excellent! Was also pleased to see they do a gluten free version which I'll get my partner to try next time. Staff were lovely and attentive and will be recommending them to friends!

I've been here probably a couple of dozen times over the last 3 or 4 years, and it's my go-to pub in Coventry for a nice meal out. The food has never been anything short of excellent (usually have a pizza and they're fab) and the staff are wonderfully friendly. Great selection of beers and ciders, and a healthy selection of vegetarian and vegan options. It's a little pricier than the average pub (mains go for around £10-15), but the quality of the food really is worth it. Often describe it to friends as the best kept secret in Coventry: on reflection I think it's a shame because it deserves to be much more widely known about!

We were lucky enough to hire the cottage for our engagement party and it could’ve have gone any better! It was the perfect location. We had 100-120 guests and the space was busy but still enough space for everyone to sit and leave their bags. The team were absolutely brilliant, I couldn’t fault them! They cleared tables to make a space for the DJ and a dance floor and set up space for all the food. They cooked lots of pizzas and kept them coming out hot. Some of the guests said they’ll be coming back for food now they’ve tried the pizzas. And the bar staff were amazing, serving people non stop from 6pm - nearly midnight. I don’t know how they did it!! We’re so grateful they let us have pub to ourselves. I’d recommend it to anyone thinking of having a party for 100+ people. Our DJ Andy Pender was brilliant too! The dance floor was full all night long 🕺🏻 Thank you to all the team

One of my favourite pub in the United Kingdom. Great staff, always friendly yet professional. There are different themes for every night of the week as well as special deals during day time. A hidden gem at the back of Earlsdon High Street. I would highly recommend it for a date or friend, a pet and family get together.

Friendly staff interesting menu good vegan choices nice outside are off the high street

This was my first visit to this lovely place. Its tucked away in a quiet side street in Earlsdon away from the main high street but it's a lovely little find. Not a huge menu but great food, good atmosphere and good service. Fair prices. Would recommend, had a lovely evening.

Wow! Beaut - I am so happy with my service ! The assistant manager lady with blonde hair was amazing ! I will be returning

Nice pub with friendly staff, cosy space and big and great terrace for the sunny days. Perfect place to have a couple of pints

Not been to the cottage for a long time. It used to be a pre club...dance music type of place. Now a pub/bar which is an improvement. Large outdoor seating area with table booths at the back. Just had a couple of drinks so no idea if food is OK etc. Will return.

Warm and cozy, I prefer here for drinks rather than food. Foods are also good but not many options.

Nice pub, but the Sunday lunch portions left a lot to be desired. So small, I had to eat at McDonald's 2 hours later.

Nice, quiet spot in Earlsdon. Food fairly good. A bit different menu than ever here else. Pizza was tasty. Bit pricey. I would have to think if I would like to come back again.

We were staying overnight in Coventry and had intended to go to dare I say it Weatherspoons on our way into the town center. But came accross The Cottage trying to get a parking spot. Lovely pub so in we went. So glad we did great family atmosphere. Food was super lovely and with a good choice of drinks to boot. So its a definite must to call again on our planned visit next year. Well done guys a definite 6 stars if I can sqeeze another star in on the score board there. jon

A great pub with friendly staff, good food and a great selection of spirits. If the weather is nice there is outdoor seating including a beer garden to the rear. The pub is also dog friendly.

Popular back street pub. Well worth a visit. Great pizza.

Very nice food, very tasty and freshly prepared, the 2 for one Monday deal and the lunchtime specials are really good value. Efficient, friendly and professional service by Heather at the bar. We shall be back!

thank you it was fun . in fun fair

Friendly staff and they make nice pizzas. It's also dog friendly .

Booked last minute for a family meal with 2 young children, all had pizzas and an assortment of 'bits'. Great value and the pizzas were delicious. The staff were really friendly and the Service ice excellent. The pub setting was great with a good choice...

Lovely Sunday roast. Was a bit disappointed with the mac and cheese, it tasted really blunt.

Great local pub, good beer selection, friendly staff, great atmosphere

Friendly pub landlord, pleasant surroundings, clean toilets. One of the best Guinness ever. The pizzas are a decent size and tasty. Nachos portion was huge and very tasty.

I've been to the Cottage quite a few times and tried different dishes, including the pizzas (cooked in a real pizza oven), the one-pot dishes and, and the Sunday roast: everything was amazing and so full of flavour! Service was swift and the staff very kind. Sticky toffee pudding is delicious, recommend that if you want some pudding after your meal.

Went for my birthday meal, amazing food and the staff were really great. I had the beef and bean hot pot and my partner had a vegan pizza Would go again!

Already reviewed earlier, but I was made aware as I was leaving about the bar staff joking about autistic people!! Utterly disgusting behaviour when I was there with my autistic son! Waiting for an email response from the management team

Lovely pub on the outskirts of Coventry. Been a number of times and always made to feel welcome by the Jolly bearded manager. Pizzas are always a good choice

Lovely local pub and great Sunday Roasts

Came to this little pub tucked away from the main high street on a Tuesday evening and was presently surprised. Warm and cozy inside, only one person working but service was quick and very friendly, and the pizzas were truly delicious with their own brewery DNA as well going down a treat. will definitely be coming back again soon to visit my new local to sample some more food

Good food, good beer, friendly staff and atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

The manager was very attentive. Food choices really good and the venue is lovely. Candles on tables is a lovely touch, as is the real fire.

Great vibe. Lots of tables and to choose from, inside and out. Although, odd that last orders were 10:30 on a Friday and we had to be out by 11pm

My husband and I came with friends today and wee blown away but the brilliant staff and the taste of the food. Lots of good deals too. My husband made a mistake with our order and the staff were more than happy to rectify it...

Best pub in coventry, good beer, nice food, friendly and helpful staff with a splash of board games! Perfect.

Nice bar friendly staff and excellent ale

Close to busy Earlsdon St but feels like a country pub when you're inside. The lounge area has been beautifully decorated for Christmas. Comfy armchairs and sofas. Food was delicious - Pizza and the tastiest Garlic & Rosemary Crushed Potatoes. Friendly, helpful staff and all...

We went as a family of 5 this Sunday for a roast dinner. When we arrived the staff were very warm and welcoming and made us feel very relaxed. Drinks were reasonably priced and fast service. Chicken roast dinner was fantastic- fast service, tasty, good...

A lovely, cosy pub. We had an absolutely delicious roast dinner and the staff were really friendly. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area

I used to go here as a kid, and sit in the garden eating crisps while my dad drank beer. It's changed a lot since then, lost its soul but is friendly, does decent beer and reasonable food. And the garden looks canny.

Loving the vibe in this pub. Got to be one the best pubs in coventry and lovely garden especially for the summer. I wanna say a well done to robyn for being a star 🌟

A cosy pub with lovely food served by nice friendly staff

Keep coming back here for the pints and the staff. Great atmosphere, best beer in the city. Would recommend their own beer

Amazing experience here, very friendly staff especially Robyn. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a nice pub locally
