The Old Crown in Coventry

We booked the Christmas meal for 8 of us. As always delicious food, hot and big portions. Staff are amazing and work so hard, they make you feel welcome and very helpful. We have been many times for lunch and dinner and the food is always great.

Food and staff were excellent but the food was not hot could not finish my meal as it was cold we were told not to touch plates as they were red hot, sorry they were stone cold, such a shame not as good as last year xmas meal. Sorry pub was cold not pleasant.

Booked room upstairs for 34 for Christmas dinner, meals were excellent, staff exceptional room well decorated couldn't fault it

Four of us arrived and were shown to our table that was had Santa hats and Christmas crackers waiting for us,we had pre ordered our meals and the service was excellent as always he starters were very good. both the Turkey and the beef main dishes were excellent complete with a huge sharing bowl of seasonal veg.and extra gravy if required,the Christmas pudding was lovely and they followed that with mince pies.The staff at the old crown always do their upmost to make you feel welcome and to cater for any special dietary needs.

I also was one of the ladies with the choir, what a fantastic night we all had! The staff were so welcoming and so well organised. The food was so tasty and red hot considering we were a big group. Thank you all for making it such a special night. We will be back!

Been a few times. Great food, lovely staff Definitely becoming one of our favourites.

Very friendly, couldn't do a enough to help. Food very good. Will come again.

Always brilliant food and the carvery on Sundays are the best around!

Food was amazing, 10/10 veggie lasagne and sticky toffee pudding, and the home made chips are out of this world. Sharon was friendly, polite and just generally lovely. Will definitely be back! Thanks :)

Brilliant place food good staff very nice

Favourite pub to eat at. Great service and food, tasty ciders on draught. Can get busy so somtimes best to reserve a table.

Excellent food and the staff are amazing

Lovely staff and food . Our server Sharon was a blast I loved her . Thankyou ♥️ xx. I had kids mac and cheese yummy and my son had the kids burger with fries and peas also yummy he scoffed it lol. The kids meals are a good size . Perfect for me as I'm not a big eater and plenty for my 12 yr old son who would normally eat and adults meal but the kids was plenty x

Great place for food and everyone is nice and friendly

Ok. Nice day out. Nice food and good bar staff... service quick. However the fish cakes lacked fish, they had more so mash

Cant fault fault it Excellent

We had lunch here yesterday, choosing this after looking at reviews. The choice was great, a 2 course lunch menu for £10.99 with a lovely choice of dishes. Daughter had chicken burger with chips and I had a BLT ciabatta with chips, all delicious, freshly cooked and served on warm plates! Puddings were delicious, staff very pleasant and it was a great experience

The Sunday roast is delicious Sharon is a credit to the pub and made my friend Ted on his 88th birthday feel very special all the other staff very friendly and helpful great pub

My biggest advice: come with an empty stomach and make sure you book! The carvery here was insane. It was busy and we overheard the host say that it was fully booked all day. You get a choice between gammon, pork, beef and turkey. The veg is self serve. The price is really affordable and all the staff are incredible friendly - the atmosphere is really joyful. Shout out Dan who gave us a friendly and warm welcome - he said we will be back...I don't doubt him now.

Lunch with friends This place is amazing everything about the place great service and such good value for money great food can’t believe they can actually make any money so cheap and quality of food exceptional thank you once again unfortunately only took one pic

Great random find, it was warm and welcoming. Staff were friendly, Will return again. Food was exceptional. The belly pork was to die for!

Came for my parents joint 75th & 80th birthday.Sharon & all the staff were exceptional & the food was amazing!! Couldn't do enough for us,brought our parents birthday cake out & had all the restaurant singing along.Thanks for making our night very soecial!! Will be back very soon xx

Generally excellent food service tables a bit close together would definitely visit again

Fabulous experience! Really lovely food and very reasonable prices! Highly recommend the cajun chicken burger (chips are best I have ever tasted) and honeycomb cheesecake was yummy! Lovely staff will definitely be back soon! Thankyou!

The food is excellent and the staff are really nice. They give you the feeling that you are really welcome. Best pub we’ve been to for food for years. Shout to Sharon always goes out of her way for you

Very cosy place, food was lovely too! Friendly, service we'll definitely be back for chicken Kievs xD

Amazing food, lovely staff with good attention to detail one of the best pies I've ever eaten and the chips were homestyle. Will return

Having been going to the old crown since moving to the area during covid we have been regularly getting a takeaway roast each Sunday. Usually it's excellent and that's why we keep going back, however were not ones for eating in. After having supported the business through covid, the engery crisis and cost of living squeezes today we've been made to feel totally unappreciated. Went to collect our regular to be told they aren't doing takeaway today as the restaurant is too busy. Made to feel like I was the problem for not eating in or booking a table. Has totally blown the years of what I thought was goodwill built up. The food isn't even any cheaper to take away and I even offered to pay extra but was looked at in a way that made me feel worthless. Very upset

Husband booked a table for my birthday, first they didn't know where to seat us, they had next to no food available on the menu we were given a sheet of paper with a list of what they had left, we wasn't made aware of this and it's now too late to go elsewhere for a decent meal so my husbands plans for my birthday were ruined.

Our regular local "feeding trough"! Just been back yet again and it's still just as good as ever. Been many many times, never had a bad meal, or service. Great chicken tenders, liver, spag bol, lasagna, filled baked spuds, steak ciabatta, sirloin steak, etc etc etc. Great service from Sharon, Sophie and Holly. Mon-Fri 2 course lunch for £10.95! Also a good function room upstairs.

Great pub good food and made to feel welcome even though Swansea just beat coventry 😂😂

Quality food withcpolite and speedy service, reasonably priced drinks, lovely atmosphere... went in for my girlfriends birthday today and what a lovely place, i'll be back for lunch tomorrow.

Visiting the area on a weekend break. We had the days special (shepherds pie) and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. We liked it so much we returned for dinner again the following night and had another lovely meal.

The Old Crown provided a buffet for the reception after my husband's funeral. There were about 50 people & were given plenty of room to seat all of the people attending & the buffet provided was excellent & priced very reasonably. Highly recommended as a venue for parties / funerals.

Went for a meal with family (11 of us) and I must say the food was excellent and come out at the same time and there was no complaints and al orders were correct - everybody enjoyed their food, the portions were good and the service was great - it’s the first time I have been - and I will definitely return for sure.

The food is nice and there is plenty of outside space.

Just passing needed food and found this place. All good

The food was excellent.The customer service was excellent. staff very friendly. We had a fantastic family meal. It was our anniversary of thirty five years that we were celebrating. Ronnie

Lovely pub, amazing food and sunny pub garden

Stopped off here on whim as we were driving from York to Southampton. For the same price as a sad burger meal at the motorway services we got to huge huge main courses and drinks. The food was hot and tasty and huge (did I mention the portions were HUGE!) And the staff polite and happy.

Lovely, friendly staff and good home cooked pub grub. Excellent value for money and big portions. Nice beer garden if the sun is shining with a little playground for the kiddies.

Dining out can be challenging when needing gluten free options for Coeliac’s disease. We rang up and the host went to speak directly to the chef to ensure that we could be safely accommodated for. We felt reassured from the conversation on the phone and the fact they had a specific gluten free menu. Craving burgers we were not disappointed. Gluten free bun, gluten free burger and delicious chips (they have a separate chip frier which means we could have all the different types of chips). Excellent service. Top quality food. 100% would recommend and cannot wait to be back. Thank you

Been here quite a few times for Sunday carvery which is lovely, however the last couple of times haven't been so good. The mash potato was frozen or powered, the roast potatoes had herb rosemary on them which I don't like, it's not giving people a choice, please no herbs and proper mash. Otherwise its lovely.

Had a lovely night, great food, staff friendly and helpful, will definitely be back.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and all staff are very friendly.

We had booked for 6pm but had not been told or realised Crown fest was on, so we had a bit of a long wait, but lots of apologies and a complimentary round of drinks was acceptable plus they were raising money for Zoes place we had a lovely meal came to just over £70 food all mains and a round of drinks so we gave a tip up to £80 to go to the fundraising ❤️👍😊

Plucked The Old Crown from a list tonight and based on other reviews retried it out. Stunning food. Highly recommend the tandoori chicken and the pork belly main courses. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Clearly a favourite amongst locals too. A great choice for a fine meal.

The food at the Old Crown is excellent we have been many times and can`t fault any of the food. Very good service and friendly staff.

Amazing service. Made us feel so welcome. We were a large party so they asked us to pre-order. Good sized portions and the food was amazing.

We chose a very busy night but the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and attentive, the family loved their food especially the onion rings, great meal.

This was a great day. We invited friends to join us at the Old Crown for Sunday afternoon food and drinks which turned out to be a brilliant day. The Upsiders band were playing who were brilliant. The food was great and the bar service, particularly from Ann-Marie was exceptional. I couldn’t speak more highly of the occasion. Highly recommended.

The pub & its surroundings are absolutely incredible! Such a friendly & welcoming pub , the staff are wonderful & so welcoming! It felt very ‘homely’. Sharon is such a great asset to your business, she goes above & beyond & her sense of humour is spot on! We shall be back!!

Was a busy day for the staff, so meals took ages & had to remind them a couple of times.

Highly recommended with a lovely beer garden. Always friendly atmosphere.

Came to the Old Crown to celebrate a birthday and enjoy a Sunday roast. There was a large group of us and the service was excellent, food was great and they was lots to do for everyone. A good selection of beers, and nice beer garden with play equipment for the kids and a few areas set up with big screens to show sport (the Olympics were on, I imagine they show lots of football and major sports).

We were served by tom he was very pleasant and friendly service was good and the food was very good

Love the atmosphere, super friendly and you could tell the bar staff knew the regulars. The food was amazing, have definitely found a new favourite.

Visited Old Crown today....lovely food and friendly staff

We had lunch today as a family in the garden area. I ordered from the lunchtime menu as it seems good value for money. I actually never expected the quality to be so high. I must admit the Thai fishcakes were AMAZING, absolutely beautiful and very tasty. Shall definitely be coming back and will probably order two!

This was our first visit and they were very busy. We are both disabled and walk with sticks and there is no provision for disabled parking, infact the parking is horrendous. The food was OK but nothing special and you couldn't hear what your partner was saying because of all the screaming kids. Sorry but won't be going back

Lovely food, which was complimented by the friendly staff. An all round very nice 1st time visit to The Old Crown. Will visit again.

Went here on recommendations & absolutely worth it. The rib-eye steak was one of the best I've ever had. Only thing we didn't really rate were the steak sauces - wouldn't bother with those again. Will definitely be back. Sharon - best server!!

Although very busy, and not prebooked, the staff were super friendly and accommodating. They found us somewhere to sit and we had a large (even though it was classed as a medium!) Sunday carvery. Great value for money and Sharon was a super hostess making us feel really welcome.

Today was an amazing day made extra special. We were accommodated fully and Sharon was the most amazing hostess. She was so funny and just down to earth and wonderful. The food was just wonderful and the price wasn't too bad, especially portion wise. Thank you for making our special day extra special.

Super strong traditional English fish and chips. A great service from the boss Sharon who gave us excellent and excellent service. It was delicious. Especially the beer with the 5.5%. We'd love to come back.

Came here for a graduation meal, the staff were so welcoming and lovely to talk to, the food was fantastic and we will definitely be coming back again!

The food was excellent as was the service. Food was hot and fresh. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely pub - great menu and food- love table service

A very busy and good service 👌. Make sure that you book 📖 a table 😀. There was 7 of us but the Old Crown can cater for more 😉

Great lunch and bingo every Monday

Service was good but unfortunately the food didn't match up. I had the pork belly, which was overcooked and not that much of it. The mash and greens were nice and was very hot too, and plenty of to be fair. Sticky toffee pudding was lovely, though it did come with custard vs ice cream which I ordered. Still ate and was nice though.

Delicious food. Traditional pub atmosphere. Excellent service

Great experience at The Old Crown for a sunday carvery. Great hot food, and good service. Would go back for sure

Lovely food with excellent friendly staff. This is a great pub with a good atmosphere.

Nice place. Very good service. Good beer. Great hamburger.

Tried in April and waited 1 and a half hours to get our starter. Not happy.. Thought we would give it another try for my 70th birthday yesterday. WELL. !!! Waited for 45 minutes for the meal to arrive. I ordered the liver for a change. BIG MISTAKE. After 45 minutes it arrived virtually RAW. Looked ok, BUT Couldn't eat it. Complained to the waitress but no one from management even came over to apologise. NOT GOOD SERVICE or FOOD UNFORTUNATELY. 2 FAILURES on the trot. 😔 😟

Nice food only thing I wud say is plates to small other than that will return

Visiting Coventry for the first time and this place seemed highest rated near to where we were staying. Having visited I can see why. Service was great, food was amazing! Literally one of the best bar meals I've had for a while (and I have quite a few lol). Highly recommended!

Lovely first visit! Chose from the lunch menu. Large portions of both main and pudding! Will definitely return!

I came for a carvery a couple of weeks ago with my Grandma and my little girl. My grandma is in her 90s with dementia and isn’t steady on her feet but the ladies that were on shift were amazing with us, so so helpful and kind / patient. It was very busy (good sign!) but the carvery was great.

Good food and reasonably priced. Staff friendly and helpful.

Nicely hosted pub, good service and decent menu at sensible prices.

70th birthday celebrations made special by the warm welcome and fabulous fresh food. Sharon and the team always go the extra mile to make your visit special. Thank you to you all for a lovely evening.

Super friendly staff and amazing food! We came away for a short break and wanted to go out to dinner for out last evening. We were absolutely not disappointed! We hadn't booked, but they managed to fit us in. It was very busy as they had a quiz on, the atmosphere was very welcoming. The fish & chips were the best I've ever had, and I come from a seaside town, so expectations were high! 10/10 would recommend! Sorry I didn't take any photos, I was too busy enjoying myself😅

The food and service is absolutely fabulous. We arrived nearby by narrowboat and when we called one of the staff took time to give us accurate directions and when we arrived Sharon took care of us all (and helped me select gluten free food). The food itself was delicious and fresh and full of flavour. Thoroughly recommended 😋😋😋

Went with friends last night for a meal. Excellent choice of drinks and the food was amazing. Nothing heated up , all freshly made and cooked. Had the steak and Guinness pie which was the best I had ever had. Massive thumbs up. Highly recommended. Will be booking again without a doubt.

Staff very polite and friendly, food was plentiful and really good. Would definitely recommend

We held a celebration meal here for my son signing for CCFC the staff couldn’t do enough for us! Food was excellent with a lovely atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic service. Sharon was fantastic and made everyone feel welcome. Food was amazing fresh and the quality was outstanding . We will certainly be coming again Thankyou once again for making a special birthday celebration that extra bit special

Absolutely brilliant again thankyou

Booked a table for our anniversary.They said it is wheelchair friendly. Arrived got wheelchair through first door but couldn't get it through second door into the restaurant. They told us the wheelchair would not be able to get through gate as too narrow and they then suggested the door at side of building but that had 3 steps going up to it . When you are confined to a wheelchair how were we expected to get up there. So never had a meal there as it was recommended felt very disappointed and spoiled our anniversary.

The Chefs are ace ! Food is fantastic - different level for a Pub is awesome 🤩! Also the staff work as a little family and could not do enough for You at the table - really attentive & very friendly! Craig the owner always looking after everyone

This place is immaculate, both inside and out. Serving staff were a delight to interact with. Food is superb. We were a group of four each had a different main meal and desert. Each dish was brilliant. I can't thank the owners and staff enough. Many thanks for a great lunch.

Terri our waitress was excellent. She was attentive without overwhelming. The food was tasty and plentiful. Lovely pub atmosphere is old pub style with hotel service. Definitely worth a visit.

I absolutely love coming here! The food is amazing, so happy it isn't on a food chain like most pubs. Food is top quality and to top it off the staff are so staff and welcoming.

Sunday lunch, packed, but still great service for private party upstairs, preordered food. Will come back again.

Went with colleagues for the Tuesday night quiz. Jad a great meal, great pub.

We were here for a 50th birthday celebration. The food was excellent, all 15 of us served at the same time. The staff were brilliant, very helpful and accommodating. My first visit to the Old Crown, I was very impressed with the layout and decor. 10/10.

Very hard to fault this place, but I asked for a larger plate (the actual plate) to serve my carvery on and it wasn't given. It was only for more veg and potatoes. They had bigger plates.

Lovely food, different to usual pub food choices. Friendly staff. Very pleasant surroundings, good value for excellent meal.
