Broomfield Tavern — Restaurant in Coventry

Revisited this local pub for the first time in years. We didn't know it was quiz night, so it was heaving.

I hadn't visited the Broomfield for a few years when I found it a bit unloved.However my son and nephew went in recently and told me it was really good.I was dropping my son off in Coventry City and had half an hour to kill so we popped in to be greeted by a fabulous Landlady who had a great variety of beers for sale.These people have instilled their own personality on the pub and have chosen their market to suit the pub creating a great atmosphere.
