The best restaurants in Wainbody Coventry West Midlands

We have visited twice this year with the aim of making our lives easier ahead of seeing a show, travelling from out of town. Both times Benugo's dreadful service has made things more difficult. We wrote the first experience off as a bad day. The second was just as bad so we won't be bothering again. Both times we got there for 5pm to beat the pre show rush. The first time there were three of us. They brought out two people's mains. Never returned to the table. I had to physically get up and approach one of the oblivious staff, aimlessly wandering in between the tables. We were basically told it was our fault, until a manager finally intervened at which point the meal was prepared and not charged. The second time, with the restaurant close to empty, we were left standing waiting to be seated inexplicably for 10 minutes while the zombie staff marched up and down between tables serving no-one and doing nothing. I took a few steps towards seating myself at one of their many empty tables and one of them sprang into life. The rest of the meal was promisingly uneventful barring a few very minor gripes. The food was just slightly better than okay (although when you're charging £18 for sausage and mash I think it ought to be incredible). The our plates were cleared. We were not offered the dessert menu, as they were cleared. We did - at this point - want the dessert menu. We expected the server would return shortly. They did not. We were never offered the menu or the bill despite sitting there over 30 minutes after our plates had been taken. Once again I had to take matters into my own hands and stand at the bar amongst the gaggle of employed but jobless staff members. I gruffly explained, when one of thel noticed me, the reasons for my dissatisfaction - and that we had planned on dessert but would not now give them our custom. They suggested taking the service charge off the bill, which I accepted. On the two visits: Food - Acceptable Pricing - Unacceptable Service - The Pits This is not the place for a quick pre-show bite - even at two hours out, you risk them making you late for the performance. Given that its housed inside the arts centre, you have to wonder why they're there.

I love the rocky road slices I treat myself to them occasionally. first time from this costa will be the last the slices are definitely cut shorter which means less product and tasted stale

This is without doubt the best cafe on Warwick campus, and its cheaper than the others and to top it off, its run by the SU for the SU, so all profits feed back to the students - unlike the other big chain corporate share holders. Coffee is great, cakes superb seating lovely, comfortable and you can watch the world go by……oh and its dog friendly - Barney never forgets his dog treats from the counter. Keep up the superb service.

It is located in the middle of Warwick University campus, on the ground floor of one of its buildings where National Automotive Innovation Centre is located (hence the name of this coffee shop). The location and clientele definitely influenced the design of this place – it is intended to serve a large number of people rather than create a cozy atmosphere, there are many sockets for charging smartphones and other electronic ‘toys’ and the place is opened only during a weekdays (and closed at 5.00pm). Independently of the location and style, it is a proper coffee shop where full range of hot drinks and snacks is available and they offer probably the cheapest filter coffee (and a good one) you can get in Midlands.

The food was good. Not amazing, but what it said on the tin.

A flat white and a choccy bar. Bang on....

Overpriced garbage and very small portions. Everyday they serve burgers and other dishes which are just chicken, what the heck? Breakfast is slightly better but how bad can hash browns be?

My wife and i attended last night for dinner 14/10/2024, we took advantage of the set menu, the food was excellent, i had the Schnitzel and my wife had the Burger, cooked to perfection, the mushroom starter and dessert was also perfect. The staff were brilliant, they were very attentive and extremely helpful, in particular our waitress Cosmina, her service was perfect, very polite and very welcoming, nothing was too much bother for her, thank you very much, you are a credit to The Burnt Post. It was extremely busy, but that did not affect the service provided by this very busy young lady that, at times looked like she was being pulled here there and everywhere. well done you!! Once again, thank you Cosmina for an excellent experience on our recent visit! 5* well deserved.

Omg Owen c is amazing quick with serving on the bar and the food was amazing I HAD a BBQ PLATER and it was outstanding but I can tell you now Owen is a keeper

don't go for food it's rubbish and overpriced- but it's a great place to go for free live football. the drinks selection is relatively poor and overpriced again. but I've loved watching arsenal play there.

Previously the best chip shop in Coventry. It had been owned and run by the same people for decades. I used to order online for home delivery a lot. Suddenly the food went massively down hill, pots of lumpy dried out gravy, undercooked fish, dried out chips... I went in to find it had been taken over by somone else. The shop is absolutely filthy. Surprise, surprise, they just got awarded a one star food hygiene rating. Run!

Having spent nearly £30 on two banquet meals and a Krushum, imagine my surprise to find a maggot in the corn on the cob UNDER the plastic wrapping. I was so shocked. I went back to the restaurant, maggot I'm hand. I was greeted by one of the serving staff. She got the mamager for me. Who offered me £1.99 credit for the corn on the cob. I showed him the receipt for £2.49 each. He the appolgied and refunded me £4.98. I was going to leave it at that until the next day I had a random email from the KFC survey team who wanted me to complete an online survey. I thought I might as well be truthful and told them everything. I got an email asking me for proof. I sent them everything I had. A few weeks later I got an apology email from the customer service manager and was offered £15 in a KFC voucher. Two things 1. at the point of writing this review I have still to receive the voucher. 2. I WILL NOT BE VISITING THAT KFC OR ANY OTHER ONE. Even though I would not use the voucher I was going to give it to one of the homeless people I see sitting outside the restaurant. BE WARNED

I went with my wife today, Sunday at around 2 o’clock. The staff had the front door wedged open which is a complete waste of heat and had music playing far too loud, I asked them to turn it down, which they did, but it was still too loud. I go here quite often on a Sunday and it’s normally OK, so it seems like, maybe there’s a new member of staff who likes loud music?
