About The Flying Standard
On Trinity St in Coventry, The Flying Standard is a pub set in a historic mock Tudor building with period decor on the exterior. Orders go in by QR code or app at the table, with food and drink brought out once placed. The main floor pairs with a small upstairs bar and seating area, and seating runs to booths as well as a spot outside. The British menu comes with a beer selection alongside it, and the week includes Tuesday burger deals and an afternoon set-meal offer. The pub sits near shops and close to bus stops and the bus station, making it an easy stop for passersby.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the building itself, calling it the best looking Wetherspoons around, with historic charm outside and classic decor within. Close behind is the value: a Tuesday deal brought The Big Smoke beef burger down to £8.86, and another visitor paid just £1.99 for a pint of cider, with breakfast and an afternoon deal meal also praised as tasty and quick via app or QR code ordering. Several mention finding a cosy booth or outdoor seating on busy days, and staff are consistently described as friendly and fast even when the pub is packed. The recurring caveat is the interior itself, described by more than one reviewer as grotty or outdated, with one specifically calling for a jet wash on the toilets and new carpets and seating. Despite that, the atmosphere on weekend and weekday visits alike is called relaxed and good, with food and drinks brought to the table in good time.

“Called in for pre dinner drink. It was a hot day so we were pleased to get seats outside, even though it was quite busy. Nice surprise paying only £1.99 for a pint of cider. Would like to have stayed longer.”
