Rose & Castle, Coventry

Looks like a village pub from the road, but very much a restaurant inside the split-level, light-wood interior. I might have been able to get a seat for a drink inside, but on a sunny evening I wandered down to the rear beer garden by the Oxford Canal rather than sit in one of the patio areas beside the car park entrance. Just Tribute (£4.80) on offer from the pair of handpumps. NB - Closes early, like it's sister pub in Shilton.

Gasto pub - now painted battleship grey. Has possibly the worlds biggest menu - double digit burger opions - which I had looked at on line before starting a walk from there. Slightly surprised on entry to be given this in the flesh, along with another print out of the specials. You certainly should be able to get what you fancy to eat! The service was impeccable. With it being a nice day, we asked to eat outside and this was no problem to them. Food was quick, good value, quality and portions. Two cask hand pulls on - forget the other but my Purity Mad Goose was perfect.
