The Humber — Restaurant in Coventry

Humber Hotel doesn't offer accommodation but is a historic, family-run pub dating back over 100 years.

Eddie (publican), his wife Lynn, and grandson Brendon offer clientele both a family-friendly lounge and a traditional pub with pool table.

Prices are very reasonable but make sure you bring cash as the minimum card order size is £5 with most beers (San Miguel, Carling, etc.) less than £5/pint or £2.50/half - e.g., at the date of this review (30 Jul, 2022), Carling is £1.90/half and San Miguel/half.

The Humber Hotel is named after the historic Humber Car Manufacturing Factory, now a series of residential housing estates.

The factory may be gone but you can see a lot of its history on the walls of the pub. Two of the most amazing photos are of General Montgomery who drove a Humber all the way to El Alamein.

As well as reasonable prices for beer, The Humber boasts a full-size pool table, at only £1/game.

Across the road from The Humber is Fruity Max, which offers delectable smoothies, waffles and other super-healthy fare - not forgetting ice cream - at customer-friendly prices. Fruity Max is open until midnight Sunday-Thursday; 2 a.m. Saturday/Sunday. Delivery is available.

Two doors down from The Humber is Universal Market, a Kurdish-owned market open until midnight 7 days/week. It's cash-only but Universal has a reliable ATM in its front, street-facing storefront.

Lastly, a Fascinating Fact: The Humber has a cellar in which, according to Eddie, customers sheltered on the night of The Coventry Blitz (10...

They charged me £60 through a parking fine, even though I was a customer of the pub AND the apartment next door that share the car park. The COVSTAYS apartment and this pub need to resolve their parking disagreement properly and stop punishing customers. Very unhappy. To be clear this car park IS shared with the apartments, but with no clear demarcation to indicate who owns which spaces, and wholly inadequate signage to alert you that there might even be a problem to...
