The Strawberry Bank, Coventry

Multi-purpose venue with a pub, restaurant, function room, accommodation, etc. However, the layout is confusing and the bar counter small (with limited space for staff who were 'just about managing' in the face of quite a queue). Apart from that, the various seating / dining areas are tidy (if anonymous) but there is a large, nautically themed beer garden at the rear (which is odd, since you are famously as far away from the sea as anywhere in England in this village). The Doom Bar branding leads to the two real ales on handpump: a 'choice' between the regular (£3.80) and the 'extra cool' versions.
