| Archivist describes the pub well,and I endorse that Vintage Inns have created a pleasing interior here.There is a drinking area to the left of the front door close to the bar and the Everards Tiger was well kept and slipped down.Ped and another real ale also available.Most punters come in for something to eat,and lunchtime attracts office folk from Tamworth including ,on my visit ,two stunning ladies from the local glamour model agency which certainly gave me a lift and increased the rate of Tiger consumption.Far better pub than the Red Lion over the canal.

| A large Vintage Inn pub next to the Coventry Canal and over the bridge from the Red Lion; wood beam and white rendered exterior, with hanging baskets, beer garden, as well as an amazing collection of spiders and their webs around the night lights. The interior, like all Vintage Inns is an open plan nesting of areas, all dining based. There is an attempt to convey some tradition in Vintage Inns; with modernish plain wall and wood panel, stone floor, lots of old pictures and other memorabilia, beams and brick. Music was subdued. The place was friendly, clientele was mixed, with families as well. Beer; tap stuff, with continental lagers. Handpulls included Rev James (nice), Pedigree and Everard's Tiger. As pubcos go Vintage are about the best, attempting to blend new and old to some degree, unlike soulless places like the Ember Inns. I would come back here for a beer, and to eat.

| Visited this pub recetly - very nice, decent food, great to sit out in the summer. However the service left a lot to be desired, a very long wait for food, only to be told that the order was off. Would not visit again as there is another pub across the canal. steve1982 - 15 Jul 2008 10:33 |
| One of the Village Inns chain - decent food and family friendly, if that's what you're after. Very pleasant beer garden with a view of the canal. Decent pint of Pedigree. londinieres - 22 May 2007 14:27 |
| Lots of nooks and crannies in this friendly and often very busy village pub that dates back to the 1700's. Now refurbished in modern 'olde worlde' style with lots of beams and a couple of open fires. well kept beers including old Speckled and Pedigree - Hot tasty and reasonably priced food, (the cod in beer batter is huge and mout watering), however one downside is that on my last couple of visits some dishes had run out fairly early in the evening. All main credit cards accepted, huge car park and canalside garden d970601h - 7 Dec 2006 17:02 |
