The Greyhound Inn, Coventry

I love the greyhound for a nice relaxing drink in the summer, The location is about the best you could hope for as a country pub, it is right on the Canal interchange so you can walk along this lovely stretch of canal, see the locks, the old buildings used to service the canal in it’s hay day and the pictuesque stone bridges all with pint in hand as the pub is right there in the thick of it.
The pub itself is very quaint and actually very small but that doesnt matter in the summer, as you will be outside by choice anyway, I have never been in off season and I have never eaten hee either so i cannot comment but this is the first place i plan to visit when i want to go for a drink on a pleasant summers day! top marks Greyhound!

The best pub in Coventry, bar none. Best location – next to a busy canal interchange so you can idly watch the barges go by, and also lots of ducks and (in summer) swans to watch and feed; committed to real ale and cider – two festivals a year, Aspall’s and Thatcher’s Gold available all year round and often a rotating guest available; good food – the Hound Pound will amaze you, three half-pound steakburgers topped with cheese and bacon; and a lovely welcoming feel whatever the season, with a roaring log fire in the winter and a big beer garden in summer. If I lived in the flats across the canal, I would buy a dinghy so I could get there quicker. Just won area CAMRA Pub of the Year (again!)

We have lived up the road from this pub for the past 7 years and always book a table if we want to eat as it is always full. However there are plenty of benches (in the summer!).

Over the years the food has varied but we have never had a bad meal which I have not really found in any other restaurant. Any problems have always been solved by the great customer service. The staff over the years have all always been friendly and some have worked there the whole time.

The atmosphere is great. It’s frequented by locals and canal regulars who pop in annually. Romantic as much as any British pub can be, relaxed and pleasant. They have beer festivals and other events too.

The food is not posh pub grub because it’s not pretentious but it always tries to impress and is above anything else in Coventry. Price wise it is great too. The location is lovely too.

If you want to go out for a meal and not worry about being disappointed I can highly recommend. We always take people to impress them, we're quite fussy and our usual eatery would be more expensive than this.

If anyone asked me for somewhere to eat in the area this would be the only place I would think of. Perfect.

This pub has been voted best pub in the Godiva Awards many times, and rightly so. On the side of the canal, this pub has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and very well kept beer. There is a restaurant serving high quality food and regular beer festivals with live music. Very highly recommended, this is worth the trip.
