Rose & Castle, Coventry

Rose & Castle- Antsy Although this pub is highly recommended in a well known publication, we were disappointed as it is more a restaurant than a pub. A huge menu some of which seemed expensive for what it was, but specials included Crocodile! It was exceptionally busy for a Wednesday night, and I’d highly recommend booking a table in advance. There was a nice ambience about the place and some interesting pictures. There is a huge garden and play area at the rear of the pub which looks onto the canal. There were two locals at the bar waiting for a table, but they did say this is no longer a pub and no locals come to use it any more. Real ales wise they did have Fullers London Pride and Young’s bitter via swan neck pumps. 23/09/09 For canal boaters it is a short walk from bridges 14&15.
