Where's good for a roast dinner these days?

Went to the old Tollgate on Sunday after a few years and couldn't spot or taste a speck of seasoning!

Farmers Fayre at the NAC Stoneleigh is a favourite of ours. Or for a bit of a plusher surrounding The Forest Hotel in Dorridge does a great roast.

Yep. Nice, but the portions were a bit on the small side.

Went to the Parkgate last Sunday, it's only eight quid, but it's a decent eight quid's worth of grub.

*Just re-read the thread title, I'm talking about a cheap and cheerful Sunday lunch, NOT the best restaurant in the surrounding area.

Going back to Jinseon Korean BBQ on Saturday. Always very good BBQ and non BBQ options.

Went to Anatolia the Turkish place on Earlsdon Street for the second time the other day. Absolutely gorgeous kebabs and deserts.

I'm usually already killed off from the complimentary starters! Really nice there, think Antalya in Ball Hill might be the same owner?

I'm not sure it's, though I could be wrong.
I've heard thees a Turkish restaurant (a restaurant as opposed to a Turkish grill, different apparently, which was news to me), opening on Earlsdon High St in the old CBS premises, and its the people who own Antalya.

Ah nice, will have to keep an eye out for that.
Heard good things about the pizza restaurant on the same high street too, but think it's more of a takeaway

It was fantastic, some of the best food I have ever eaten. Very impressed and will certainly go again.

Good portion sizes too.

I’m going to throw a recommendation out for the Old Lion in Harborough Magna.

Especially Thursday nights when a pie and a pint is only £15 or two steaks and a bottle of wine starts at £20.

Makes it sound cheap and cheerful but the food is excellent.

Interesting.

I’ve been a couple of times over the last few months and has always been busy and like I say the food has been excellent.

Going to a gig at Warwick Arts Centre tonight and planning to have food somewhere not too far away beforehand.

Any recommendations nearby or in Coventry itself?

I asked my partner what particular style/cuisines she wanted and this morning her criteria has changed to ‘anywhere with a nice Chicken Caesar Salad’.

Any recommendations for near WAC/in Cov?

The Smokehouse would be the obvious as its 5 minutes away but I doubt there is much salad happening there

The problem you will have is I think the road from Burton Green into Kenilworth is down for HS2 stuff or there would be choices there. No idea what the Bear in Berkeswell is like?

We like the Bear a lot, it's standard pub fare but the place itself is nice. In the Arts Centre itself Benugo opened after the refurb was done, sounded like there were teething problems early on but seems to be fairly well received now

Thanks Both.

I’m heading from dropping the kids at the Grandparents so through Coventry, so I think I’ll just park in town and let her choose somewhere - safest bet! Then get to WAC for a drink or two beforehand - likely at Benugo!

I was born there, in the dim and distant past when the maternity hospital was still going.
Haven't been in the pub for donkey's years. I was a proper drinker then though, so memories are hazy...

Very difficult to recommend eating establishments, you can only say it how you've experienced it yourself. Bit meat and poison really.

Went to Selmina's on Friday night before going to the Belgrade. Was superb. Cocktails were banging and food even better.

Booked for 5:30, and was expecting it to be fairly quiet, but it was rammed. Good to see

Bosphorus it's called and I went with 3 mates went the other week.

All of us were starving so ordered the platter for 5 instead of 4 and didn't get close to finishing it and one of the lads took the rest home for his Missus and kids.

Reallu tasty and cooked to perfection and the staff were excellent. We were seated upstairs which is really nicely decorated (loads of "Instagramable" swings and stuff) but have to say downstairs did seem to have a bit of a canteen feel.

It's take your own beer and the staff all have bottle openers which also helps!
