    I cannot stress enough how welcoming and accommodating this place is. I will spare the details, but they went above and beyond when I visited with my young daughter. Thanks to this, I promised I would come back (2 hour round trip!) And I did just that on one of the comedy nights. I have to say it was the best night out I've had in so long, and I wish the pub was closer to home so I could make it my local! Waiting and bar staff very friendly too, and the food was LUSH plenty to choose from for a picky eater like me! 100% will be back soon!

    Don’t really go out in Coventry but I love comedy nights and heard this venue had a great vibe. Visited with my friends and were pleasantly surprised by the great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. There’s a fab outside area that I can Imagine is going to be the place to be in the summer. Can’t wait for the next comedy night and to visit here again!

    Great to see this place open again. Great revamp to the garden. Very welcoming new owners. Smashing first post lockdown experience. Highly recommended.

    Been there 3 times now...lovely place, sofas, armchairs, booths,tables, outside seating whatever you want to lounge on. Food is a limited menu but what you can order is yummy & hot. Wine really nice. If you're into sports there's a big screen ...staff are friendly & welcoming & it's a really nice place to chill. And it's named after a cute furry rodent..what more do you want? Give it a go..you might enjoy it!

    Comedy night was brilliant last night, we had the chicken burger and it was actually chicken- was delicious! The fresh stonebaked pizza was amazing and they even let me adapt it to suit my taste. Drinks are reasonably priced and there was such a lovely atmosphere in the downstairs bar. We shall be back shortly!

    If it were possible I’d rate this pub 0 stars, incompetent management who don’t even have the decency to call when they’ve made mistakes. Was attending an event on 05 March 22 which has been cancelled due to a ‘Rave’ type event… There is no mention of this event on social media or their website. This leads me to the conclusion that there is no event and the management are making up excuses to cancel. The individuals who booked the event have been given 2 days to find an alternative venue for their party as the managers ‘spreadsheet never saved’…… If you’re looking to book an event avoid this place like the plague.

    Had a brilliant 50th birthday party at The Squirrel, the function room upstairs is a great size with its own toilets and bar. It has a sound system you can plug your phone into and party lighting! Thank you so much Jacob and team, and special thanks to James who helped me do the last minute set up touches and manned the bar all night! Would definitely recommend 👍x

    To tell someone they have 2 days to arrange a new venue when the organiser have asked family members to come from around the country tells its own story. This was an already prearranged date which had not been recorded in a spreadsheet and then double booked by a non advertised event. To add insult the booker was informed by email following a request to come and set up early, imagine if they had just turned up on the night? No other words apart from extremely poor customer service.

    Bar staff were miserable not welcoming. Dirty tee shirts. Used to have great choice of Ale. Not anymore. But did have a great night.

  • 3/5 Jamie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Comedy night is really fun, it's a free event too which is great- the atmosphere is great, only issues is the drinks are a little on the pricey side, but definitely worth the visit.

  • 3/5 Matthew A. 1 year ago on Google
    Standard town centre pub, that does at least have a scruffy beer garden for afternoon drinks on a nice day. Bar seemed low on stock and not a massive choice of gins and spirits etc.

  • 5/5 Dougie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely evening and great atmosphere. Really nice staff and great selection of drinks. I've had food here previously too and it was very good.

  • 5/5 Mark 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff and good atmosphere. They have a couple of ales (brewdog and another) range of other drinks too. Good for a visit nice garden area, most certainly one of the better places in coventry city. Few more ales would be nice but its good for the area

  • 5/5 Keepgoing44 2 years ago on Google
    Great pub! Friendly welcome. The garden/external area is so quirky and was a vibrant area to relax,eat and drink. Efficient service. We ate here and the food was very tasty. The menu was limited, but sufficed. My son returned with friends the following day as he liked the atmosphere and surroundings so much!
