OK, so I determine this by food quality and general atmosphere...

Always been a fan of the Friendly Inn in Frankton, the Oak in Brandon, the Greyhound (not sure it counts as country, but it's by a canal ) but... any more for any more?

Edit: Like the Cape of Good Hope in Warwick too, although again not strictly country, more canal!

The Shepherd and Dog at Devils Dyke is excellent.

Bull and Butcher is ok.

Where's that?

I meant this one in Corley

The Pheasant, in Withybrook. Hadn't had Pheasant for years. Loads of buckshot in it. The menu did warn you. Really good food.

 

[Marty]

Have to disagree about the bull and butcher, The steak I had was terrible and overcooked. Didn't help that I damaged the car exhaust getting off the island.

The Bear Inn, Berkswell and The Black Boy, Knowle. Both excellent places for atmosphere and food quality.

Bear Inn, Berkswell

Had a quick check, building looks nice, tripadvisor reviews mixed.

That said, I like the Old Mill in Baginton, same chain. Does a good job of disguising it's a chain really.

Yeah it's a bog standard Chef and Brewer

The Red Lion in Corley is ok I think. Also I gather The Falcon near Hatton has been refurbed and is good but have never been myself.

I've been there!

The food was OK, inside was a bit too Ikea-like for me.

Prefer my country pubs with a roaring fire rather than bright, harsh, wood floors and open plan trendy trendy.

Went to the Hatton Arms a few months back unreal food!

Went on a Sunday and had the roast sharing board (to share!!) was out of this world!

Hatton Arms

...or was it that one I went to...?

Blue Lias at Stockton. Nice pub by the canal. Good food.

For a great meal in a proper old fashioned type pub, the butchers arms at Priors Hardwick. Pricey, but really nice. Lots of Xmas lights now too.

My uncle had his wedding reception there.

Not wrong about the Priors Hardwick one being a little pricey!

The Duke's Head in Crawley Down is nice and a bit closer to you.

 

[Kingokings204]

Saxon mill in Warwick is nice and a good walk for after across the fields.

Cycle past blue Lias on the way to napton and beyond. Always decent pint too!

Been a while since I used any pubs at all in and around Cov, but I always used to like The Bear at Berkswell, The Queens Head, Meriden and The Oak, Baginton.

Coventry Oak, Wyken.

Classy family pub with a gorgeous backdrop and fantastic atmosphere. First class service and the food is unreal.

Looks promising for the weekend. Booking essential for food in the evening?

Hardly a country pub that has a bad reputation from the Wyken Pippen says and is located on the corner of one of Coventry's main roads.

See you can recognise quality pubs in the same way you recognise quality footballers.

Food in pubs should be either crisps or peanuts. Anything else is an abomination.

This isn't a pub thread - it's a restaurant thread! I blame bloody Masterchef.

Blame the fact that as I get older I do less drinking, more eating!

Cheese and crackers goes well with cider.

Went there on Sunday, and it is indeed nice!

took the wife for lunch there a month or two back, really enjoyed it and nice location though the weather was poor when we were there. Imagine it's cracking on a sunny day.
