Blue Scrumpy left this review about Broomfield Tavern
I've been here a couple of times before and it was one of only 9 pubs around the UK that I scored a 10/10 for. As such, despite it being the 12th pub and towards the end of our list, I was very much looking forward to a return visit.
Situated on a quiet side street overlooking a park with sports pitches, it is not a place you would discover in passing. The interior was very much as I remembered it. Bare boards, with a small room and bar area that extends slightly round the corner.
The ale range is still good, with the regular ale being Church End Fallen Angel. Guest beers were Pitchfork Pitchfork, AJ's Stuck In The Dog House & Bradfield Farmer's Stout. Real ciders were Lilley's Cherries & Berries, Pina Colada, Mango Cider, Woo Woo, Lemon & Ginger Cider, Raspberry Mojito, Merry Monkey, Somerset Scrumpy, Wild Dog, Pickled Parrot, Bee Sting Perry & Crazy Goat, Snail's Bank Pineapple & Grapefruit Cider, Abrahall's Lily The Pink, AM & Slack Alice, Weston's Rosie's Pig, Gwatkin No Bull & Yarlington Mill, Dorset Nectar Wild Cat, Cock Eyed Copper Beech & Dudda's Tun Bone Dry.
22 ciders is certainly an impressive range, but of the 4 new ciders I saw in Coventry, none of them were found here. In addition, I'm sure I remember a larger ale selection here last time I came. I do recall that the pub is a haven for dogs. That is certainly still the case. Although there was an overwhelming smell of wet dogs when we entered, which was off-putting.
I still really like this pub and could happily enjoy a lengthy session here, as I have done previously. However, it didn't quite hit the spot this time. As such, I'll downgrade my score to a still very creditable 9/10.

A gem for real ale and cider drinkers.The CAMRA review says it all - "A genuine free house, the small bar is virtually filled with hand-pumps. The beer range features many unusual choices. Friday night's music sessions often host well-known musicians. Also Live folk/mountain music Mondays and Thursdays. This Victorian pub - currently branch Pub of the Year and West Midlands Regional Cider Pub of The Year - is situated in a rural setting but is just behind the main road near to Coventry rugby ground."
