Coventry Village — Attraction in Morley

It wasn't even a busy time of day on like a Sunday and the line to get in the main entrance from the main road is a nightmare it was backed up for dozens of minutes to get in. We decided to go around the side and enter from the side street- this was a much better idea, still bad but actually moved and at a decent pace. Managed to find a spot that was near the entrance and still that initial line was stuck- its been that way the few times I've been there over the years. The heavy sudden rain likely didn't help but it really needs to improve the infrastructure to get cars flowing through rather than such a narrow strip with so many pedestrians. Small car park for how large it actually is- and is INCREDIBLY busy which is nice to see people out and about having a good time. Had a nice sized chips and gravy from one of the shops and the amount of gravy was so damn good. The retro store is what I was interested in which I did end up buying something which was nice to find. So many different businesses in the building- an incredible place to visit I just wish that traffic inflow could be improved and maybe increased parking. Outflow traffic was perfectly fine for us and had no issues there. They have aged but very interesting large fish tank displays and even a children's play area near the centre. I recommend this place highly for such a unique experience. Great place and the staff at the retro store were so friendly and overall a great experience visiting this place. Will be back in the future- it's just a few hours from home 🏡 is all. Would recommend...

I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with some friends for lunch, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. The venue we chose was bustling with a variety of food options, offering an impressive array of world cuisines. Whether you were in the mood for something exotic or a familiar favorite, there was something to satisfy every palate. The abundance of seating made it easy for us to find a comfortable spot, and despite the lively atmosphere, the noise level was quite reasonable, allowing for easy conversation.

We decided to try the fish and chips from a shop called Morley Reef & Carvery, which is conveniently located near a massive fish tank that added a unique and enjoyable ambiance to our meal. The serving size was generous, and the price was quite reasonable, making it a great value for the quality and quantity of food we received. The fish was perfectly cooked, with a crispy batter and tender, flaky interior, while the chips were golden and delicious.

As we savored our meal, we spent a pleasant two hours eating and chatting, catching up on each other's lives and sharing stories. The relaxed environment and good company made the time fly by. We all agreed that it was a wonderful spot for a casual lunch and decided that we would definitely plan to meet there again in the future. The combination of great food, a comfortable setting, and the company of good friends made it a memorable outing that we look forward...

Coventry Pavilion has a nice ambiance, and the setup of the venue is impressive, creating a comfortable atmosphere for a weekend meal. However, our experience was a bit of a mixed bag.

We ordered the ribs, expecting a variety of options since they offer chicken, beef, and pork. Surprisingly, on a Saturday, they only had pork available, which was disappointing. The ribs took about 20 minutes to arrive, though it was reassuring to know they were cooked fresh, as the server mentioned. When they did come out, the quality was decent but nothing remarkable.

We also ordered chips, which came out almost instantly after the ribs, in about two minutes. They were just okay—exactly what you’d expect from pub chips.

The staff experience was varied. One server was friendly and helpful, even checking on the status of our ribs, which was much appreciated. However, another server (wearing glasses) seemed indifferent. When we asked about the ribs’ timing, he simply said he didn’t know and didn’t offer to check, which was a bit frustrating.

In summary, Coventry Pavilion has a well-designed space, which sets the mood nicely. The food and service could use some consistency, but it’s a reasonable spot if you’re looking for a casual...
